Detroit










Abandoned houses in Detroit by Kevin Bauman, from the 100 Abandoned Houses project.

crumbling



Oh man, dream home or what? This is in New York of all places. You can see a pretty great picture of its construction/conversion over here.
I'd love to fill this house with wood panelling and chandeliers, like a toy Versailles. Unfortch I don't even have a kettle these days, let alone a mortgage.

wuthering heights



The Guardian

Wuthering Heights dust jacket by Celia Birtwell. I love this! The curtains!


Dior Couture by Jak & Jil

I enjoy Couture shows more than 'normal' fashion shows. I took some dressmaking and pattern cutting classes last year and now my appreciation for that shit is like woaahhhh.

stole my cool



When I grow up I want to be a pop star!

cabaret












In my Honours year at University I did a class on 30s literature. One of the few good books to come out of it* was Goodbye to Berlin and, from that, Cabaret.
I'd love to learn the dance routine to Mein Heir. Because once you have that skill no one can take it away from you.
*no offence to fans of 30s literature. The class was too heavy on poetry and politics for me, but what did I expect?
