I am a fan of the printed word and shimmering images, at best when they are coming together in glossy magazines. I enjoy modern and retro fashions, how they reflect civilizations past and present, as well as an expression of self. I especially enjoy crafting found objects together, be them words or clothing, in surprising ways. I am ever fascinated with humankind, a lovely and ugly creation. Above all, the most fascinating thing is the notion that all this had some kind of beginning, a mystery I could never begin to fathom, that something created the intricate pieces of life and then masterfully crafted them together.

To be honest, I haven't read a full book (besides the Katherine Hepburn autobiography) in the last few years, sad as it is to say. But I eat up magazines like candy. My favorites are Interview, W, WWD, i-D, and the lovely, locally produced L'etoile.
Heroism in the ages of old is dead; it is up to all of us to become the heroes of today.
