^Do they just keep adding these when my back's turned? Thank you, Ariesdior...Candice keeps popping out from behind the curtains on the VS Pink "Class of 2009" Collegiate Collection. You don't get to see much of her, but it's kind of cute anyway - and maybe means she's doing something Pinkish in the near future..?

Well, I know who she is - and that she makes a cameo in the movie that bears her name... So I'm taking an educated guess at To Wong Foo Thanks For Everything, Julie Newmar?

Architecture
Great thread idea, my dear penny! And some of those houses are just stunning. Would that I had the kind of money to commission my own abode... Now, I may be biased I know, but I do so love the architecture of my own fair winded city. I appreciate what you said about 'cluttered minds' - and the calmness such places of tranquility can do for this. But Buenos Aires is a big, sprawling, noisy, polluted, chaotic city; and I adore it! It does, in it's own way, have the 'clean lines' you like. The Capital Federal (where I live) is pretty much based on Paris, with Haussmann (another fine Baron! ) inspired avenues, and tree-lined boulevards from the 1850's. The buildings are a melange of Neoclassical and Art Nouveau styles. If only you could look up and appreciate them more from street-level without having to worry about the dog shit and gaping holes in the pavement! But I wanted to post some pictures from the Abasto barrio. It's about 20 minutes from my own apartment, and is where the famous tango singer Carlos Gardel was born. As such they've taken the initiative to preserve the streets around there in the old fileteado style of the beginning of the 20th century. It's an ornamental design of flowers, lines and plants. I love walking around there as it's so colourful: There's a throwback to that style on the local buses, which still have the different colour schemes and styles, as opposed to numbers to know which one to catch! (Though that's the only good thing about them - otherwise they speed around the city bellowing black smoke and not stopping at red lights):

Book quotes
^Cute! My lord though, there are just plenty swimming around my brain... This one speaks to me somewhat apt however: And it came to me then. That we were wonderful traveling companions but in the end no more than lonely lumps of metal in their own separate orbits. From far off they look like beautiful shooting stars, but in reality they're nothing more than prisons, where each of us is locked up alone, going nowhere. When the orbits of these two satellites of ours happened to cross paths, we could be together. Maybe even open our hearts to each other. But that was only for the briefest moment. In the next instant we'd be in absolute solitude. Until we burned up and became nothing. - Haruki Murakami, Sputnik Sweetheart

^I know... But just go and look at the FHM/Maxim top 100 lists in the General Babe section to see the shoddy and unimaginative selection of 'babes' on offer! A tiny smattering of 'ethnicity', and only a few interesting choices outside the conveyor belt of pop-puppets and bland 'actresses'. What chance fashion models, let alone GIs and RQs..? Onto happier things though. Face pulling, yet still a 'beaut':

Terry Richardson
oh man... i cant wait to see what hes gonna do with georgina and catherine... im a little afraid of what he and daisy will create together, afraid and terribly intrigued Well, he had worked with Daisy at least once-for her i-D cover posing with her ex-bf... and naked breasts :| ^I liked that shoot! Terry also shot her for French magazine Emplot, with that annoying Jamie Strachan fellow (well - "annoying" in being Behati's boyfriend ), that I posted on her thread - should you wish to see..?Looking forward to the Pirelli set too. Ana BB? Oh yes!

^High praise indeed - from Queen Strange! Well, Reeyo, if that was a shot in the dark it was incredibly inspired!!! Magnolia it was (and, indeed, that was Tiny Tom). Over to you...
