Caving into Porn and Design Paleo Style
There are many architectural movements no doubt 1000's to explore.
Mid Century to Brutalist is the range that serves me best, its is my little luscious niche. I find it all very stimulating, the lines, the space, the colours the textures, it percolates in my head. I must confess great design is the porn I choose, I pore over it, it gives me the jolt I am looking for.
Recently I found these stunning examples of design and it stuck me what truly resonates at the core of good and great architectural design. A building or structure can connect with you at your core in a Palaeolithic subconscious sense. This house below is cave like appearing to be encapsulated by the earth and trees the timber and lighting emulates a flame like warmth inviting you inside.
We are all part animal and we hear the wild wild call no matter how far removed from deep inside of us we may think it is. Our hidden paleo past pings into existence even if it is triggered by the most civilised escalation of our expression and development.
While marvelling at the technology and genius it takes to create these magnificent buildings from deep inside me comes a very reassuring 'Ugg.'

Shopping Vintage ::: The Best of Bad Taste.
I have been shopping vintage since I was about 13 years of age (long long ago). During a high school camp I just had to duck into a thrift shop and buy a 1960's silver necklace...I was ridiculed mercilessly for it.
Morons.
They mocked I very quietly felt smug. I didn't care - they didn't get it and I had a unique piece. I was hooked.
Fabrics prints and cut - I don't care where its from how little or how much it cost if I love it I must have it. I am no designer snob. Sure I understand fine fabric and garment construction but impact for me wins every time!
Years spent trawling through peoples off casts gathering things I just simply adored, whether it was to worn or not has amassed me quite a collection. I may have to cull it soon with a sale but I doubt it, they are irreplaceable. Somethings I buy just because, I have a vulgar collection of hideous 70's kitchenware, a truly beautiful collection of mid century ceramics - not huge but every piece to me divine, fabulous hats mostly 1950's some I have worn but all of these things I am proud to own.
My advice for collecting is...If it makes you smile - get it. If it makes no sense at all but you love it - have it. Life is far too short to edit. Live it, make your heart sing!
Sometimes I get to pull out an item I've never worn but have harbored for years - they are the things that other people comment on and say they wish they could wear. I got this little number recently it was far too short and far too big till I took it in and thought of teaming it with Opaques.
What can I say...Who doesn't want to look like vintage wallpaper?
Anyone interested in a vintage shopping tour? Hmmm...
Some advice before we begin.

Another fascination lately has been boxy vans...don't start me. The flatness of the front, the side mirrors are industrial art not design, the trim...garhhhh drool.....
How cool is this ride and how much fun could a night out with the gang be in this machine?
Get the music thumping...

MEN WHO DANCE LIKE FRENZIED ANIMALS
Ok its not often that I get primal but these guys obviously do.
Tom Jones makes love to everyone in the studio in this clip - why he even forgets to sing. He is throwing his manhood around filling every corner of the room. Wow!
SO as for clothing Mr Sammy Davis Jnr wins hands down for the zip alone in this number! The ladies and in particular the woman on the left of screen goes almost Emu like crazy - keep your eyes peeled for the close up of the midriffs!
Gotta love a midget like black dude with a 'tude' like that!
Pure sex - I didn't say it was great sex. Visceral grunt with flair!
For ladies with no rhythm you can give this a whirl!
Next time I am on a dance floor I am going to sport these moves - watch for Time mark 1.30 - 1.35 ;)
Its Monday go have some fun!
