on a lighter note


OK--so here's proof that I'm a real American despite despising John McCain. I do love me some catalog shopping (or catalog browsing, as there is not a lot of purchasing these days). And the new J Crew catalog is so so beautiful. All those shots of the pretty people in Prague remind me of those teenage days when a JCrew catalog could whisk you away to that perfect land of fantasy, envy, perfect dishevelment, and gorgeous visual storytelling. I love the shot I've attached here of the woman in the yellow jacket. She's a little tired, world weary, and that water behind her is so dark and moody. Forgive me this small weakness. I know they are just trying to sell me something. But hey, beauty is beauty wherever you find it, right??
