Pet deers of Audrey and Frida

Wouldnt a deer make the most beautfiul pet? I can imagine them being gentle and shy but making friends with dogs and getting up to all sorts of mischief together. These two inspiring women had such pets and I think they both suit them in very different ways.


Audrey Hepburn's deer was named Pippen, called LP for short and apparently slept in a custom made bath tub!

Frida Kahlo's deer was called Granizo, which I think translates to Hail (please correct me if I'm wrong) and was the model  for her painting 'The Little Deer'.

 

Cover Time: Marcy's Song from Martha Marcy May Marlene

I haven't seen the film yet but I haven't been able to get this song out of my head sing I saw John Hawkes sing the first line of it in the trailer. It originally by Jackson C. Frank, but Hawkes's version of it is both beautiful and chilling. Take a listen.

Goyte Cover Time

I know this is kinda every where but it  is still so awesome. Happy Saturday.

New Bike

So it finally happened, new bike, he is blue, his name is Sydney and he is awesome. Now that I have a bike that actually wants to ride straight I am going to teach myself hands-free riding. I found this clip via Size Too  Small and it has inspired me to work up to the 'Laser Eye' move. Wish me luck.

 (the ZOMBIE is also good)

Happy Birthday Tom Waits

Happy 62nd Birthday to Mr Waits! The king of the gravely voice, dirty guitar and scary spoken word combo. A man made to be captured in black and white.

It was hard to pick a song to post here, but I thought I would just go with a popular classic...
