L'Amour







I must confess - ever the cynic - I am way over the search for romance and the perfect man.
Apparently French musicians (who come with chateaus and beach villas inclusive) may or may not only exist in Paris.

But there's alot more to be said about lovers.

Ah lovers! Those seedy chance 'encounters'! That illicit affair! And pourquoi?

Tucked away in the August-September issue of Russh (lifesaver if ever there was one) - I stumbled upon an old McGinley snap of the late Dash Snow blissfully engaged in a bit of carnal pleasuring (as many a friend of mine likes to term it). And it has me feeling both nostalgic and inspired. Ah lovers. The intimacy. The slightly shameful smiles. Staring at the floor and mumbling a response to the question, 'So, what have you two been up to?' The devious knowing conspiratorial glances across a room. The unexplained 'disappearances'. The encounters which seem permanently set to the soundtrack of 70s folk-rock (probably just me). Bed hair that is just perfect. Where there's a story behind that messed up outfit. The shared morning after coffee. The forgotten item of clothing.

Yes, I just walked out wearing your shirt.

And touche, I will pick up my bra.

It could be once. It could be forever.

Maybe later.

I'll be back for more.

Love (and I mean it)

Girl Crush: Charlotte Kemp-Muhl






The Girl-Crush (guhrl-karush) -
Overwhelming urge to gush and go totally weak in the knees in the face of the all-consuming, totally ah-mazing (and completely effortless...of course) style of an also preternaturally stunningly beautiful human being of the female gender.
(Definition courtesy of the Bec-tionary)

Been there. Done that. Wish I could have bought the t-shirt. I'm sure we all have.

Today's feature happens to be the 'so-stunning-I'm-friggen-jealous-she-even-exists-on-this-planet' Charlotte Kemp-Muhl aka model and girlfriend of Sean Lennon (yes...he who is son of John & Yoko) Also - Jalouse's cover girl of the month thereby putting her cool credentials at an all time unattainable high.

She's that sort of indie muse that just exudes sensuality while leaving an air of mystery. Meaning she's the type of person who can rock an Indian tribal chief rabbit tail headpiece and get away with it being a true fashion triumph while the rest of us would probably get looks signifying that we should party at that place with padded walls and these really cool white jackets.

An unconventional pretty thing who is the epitome of Belle Du Jour subversive sexuality in a trench and nothing more while romping around with her very famous (but somewhat less pretty) musical scion loverboy in the iconic Chelsea Hotel.

The French really know how to pick their icons.

Le sigh.

Love
