Pretty Young Thing

Hi all,

Two jobs and stuff to do makes for a neglected blog. Sorry. I thought I'd find more time for this since graduating, but alas...

First up, this is just friggin' adorable.























Deer with sooocckkksss!!! via my love for you...


I'm also digging this birdcage image. Y'all know I have a thing for birds.




























via oh joy.


Finally, the art from mydeadpony is amazing. If I ever get time to do my own art, you will definitely see some influences coming in from here.

Have a good weekend all!

We need body rockin' not perfection

Another beautiful day here in EL!

I think this is just too hilarious/cute:































"I cannot love." "Really? Because your mustache says different." MUSTACHES CANNOT TELL A LIE!

I also really dig this:























via my love for you is a stampede of horses.

Via The Selby, because it's just soooo awesome,

If there were a type of eye candy made especially for me, that would be it.


Next up, I am loving some furniture / design I saw over on sfgirlbybay.

Like this chair:

While I'm at it, this room is blowing my mind:

(from vintage-green)

Then there's this 3D wallpaper business. Freak out!





































Check out Hanna Nyman. Very pretty stuff. via sfgirlbybay.


That's all for today! Have a good weekend!

We can't survive on your bedroom eyes and a spanish guitar

Hello all!

It's been an interesting day thus far. Yes... indeed. It's Tuesday! Which means Monday is over and we're a day closer to the weekend - namely (in my case) Spring Break! Woooooo!

I've found several interesting things over the past day or so, and I've noticed they've all fallen into a nice retro color scheme. I guess I'll comment on that later.

By now, I'm sure plenty of you have seen this Brangelina shoot from W magazine (2005) via whorange. Holy cow, is it awesome. So you're gonna look at it again! Except with my favorite photos from the set.

The topic was "a crumbling marriage" or something along those lines. Doesn't this just look incredibly awkward? No love. Also reminding me of a scene from A Single Man, except with a completely different mood.

















What a gorgeous lady, even though I bet you'd be hard pressed to find a woman looking like her in the 60s. Makeup is right-on.

















I wonder if this photo was a happy coincidence? I doubt it. Very interesting.

















This is just SCREAMING Anne Bancroft in The Graduate. As if all of these didn't scream Anne / Mrs. Robinson right in your face.



















This one is just so real it almost hurts.




















Uh-oh. ACTING!




















Creeeeepy. Glad he's leaving, though. What a shot.




















Well, that was a downer.


How about now we take a look at some beautiful, fresh-retro interior design? Just a little bit. Here's the post from design is mine so you can check it all out.

Really digging this room in general.



















I like all the elements that add color and what they're doing for the awful drab-ness going on there. Guh.
























I want that painting.


Next, this cat's coming to kick your ass! Artist Lisa Hanawalt sure draws some bizarre stuff (mentioned in an earlier post here). I like it, though!

*sigh* Today is going to be a weird day. I can feel it.

See you guys later.

Bowie in space

So I'm on a Bowie kick. So far I've been listening passively; we'll see how it goes.

First up is a couple things via Pikaland. Love the blog, especially since I won that awesome giveaway a while back.

Check out this charming video about Santa vs. cookies:

Keep Out of the Cookies (an animation) from Jessica Gonacha Swift on Vimeo.


Second I just really like this illustration by Scott Campbell.

Pretty cool, eh? I want to have a picnic with some clouds.

Lisa Hanawalt's art has me cracking up. It's like Richard Scarry on LSD.

Oh and if you feel inclined to get me a holiday gift, I wouldn't mind some of these.

I waaaannnttsss. via swiss miss.

Have a good monday, ya'll!
