A Red and White Christmas

Lolly no. 1 by artist a.t. whim. Available at her Esty shop here.

Greetings all! You'd think with all this time off I'd be able to post all the time. Au contraire my darlings. I'm afraid I will not be posting for a while. I will probably be back in the New Year. Until then, have a very happy holiday, and do not forget me!

"Candy Cane Children" by The White Stripes
Why don't you open me up
candy cane girl
don't you know your name girl
twelve people gonna ask you the same girl
what a world
Christmas once a year girl
that's 364 tears girl
so when Christmas finally comes
and nobody's got a gun
and you think it might be fun girl
to hang around
think again girl
why don't you open me up
candy cane boy
don't you know your name boy
nine people gonna tell you just the same boy
you're alone son
in the middle of a million
and nobody knows how to talk to children
oh, when Christmas finally comes
and you think it might be fun
to get a new toy
think again boy
so when Christmas finally comes
and no one's got a gun
and you think it might be fun
to make a stand
think again man

I Wanna Be Marie

Sorry! I seem to be saying that quite a lot lately. I have been a bad blogger because, well, I have a life. So, get over it people! I'm giving you a little treat in the form of some shots from this Carl Bengtsson editorial. Yes, it is from my new favorite site, Foto Decadent. I adore the lush, Marie Antoinette inspired look, with the slightly hazy colors and soft, floating fabrics.

Don't you just wish you could do this all day? "Excuse me darling, I can't go out right now because I have to luxuriate on my chaise lounge."

Heavens me! I am a vision in this frothy frock! Methinks I look like one of the blancmanges from Monty Python - in the best possible way (and without a tennis racket, naturally).

Le sigh.

Tres jolie, n'est-ce pas? Click for more.
