My blog has a vague format. Because in this structured innerweb, I find peace with blurred visual and textural content. Much like this photograph I took recently for a 4 month project I am working on (keep posted!)

If you ever wondered
What’s behind the curtain
The whispers of the night…if you only listened
The bubble proudly glistens
Afraid we stand aside
Knowing that if pressure is presented
It may pop and never existed
Much like the dream
We remember vividly
Speak word for word of what we linger on the tongue
As if the tanned skin were touched by the sun
Proof
Poof
Only if we wondered
Let go of the summered
Mumbling out terrified applications of false allegories
Temporary
Lost
In dreams of rhythmic like schemes
Bubbles float away
Left the reflections of lakes
Hiding behind capes
Curtains are pulled
No dreamer shall be fooled.

Greg Armas and Claire Lampert create multifunctional solutions for “workwear”, such as the single button draped high-neck blouse when unset, is a sexy ultra-deep V-neck . The collection keeps evolving, starting off as a men’s brand and now is a very tasteful label of its own principals, both for women and men. Please see the rest of the images on Style.com.

While I am here visiting the chilly Bay Area, I decided to get some good ol’ museum visits in. Recently checked out the Jean Paul Gaultier exhibition at the De Young.
Entering the world of fetish, Madonna madness, The Fifth Element, and Punk revival of the 90′s, I felt a surreal comfort within myself. Indeed, I can watch the fifth element back to back just for the costuming alone. Pleasure beneath image from Mr. Gaultier’s pure imagination that runs through culture traveling back into our own souls. Before you know it, society has opened itself to the ideas of one great mind, and recreated it in the skin that we reflect our own personal images of self. Demanding a new access to bridge worlds of creating and the material world of living in what we create. Gaultier is well received through out the collections, you clearly see the social, as well as his own personal discovers within his designs.
