• making these curtains

• everything to do with Erykah Badu's new album, mostly gleaned from her and questlove's twitter convos.

I love Alber Elbaz

I know he would not appreciate this but I just want to put him in my pocket and carry him around with me. I want to be the best friend whom he holds the cigarette holder for at a cocktail party while some other socialite hands me a cat. I love what he says about pink and his belief that it's not for a strong woman but that strong women of today need it, need that care. I love what he says about hating the word "sexy" and loving the word "grand."
