quote of the day

On Helter Skelter: LA art in the 90s:

It was worth it. It was one hell of a night. We had some very interesting people show up. We had some weird people show up. We even had a woman jumping out of a trash can every so often completely naked.

Hello, 602.

It was 97 and sunny, but we were there for the goal.

AJ is a stud, which almost made up for not seeing Colbert.

Hello, delicious.

Letters to People Who Hate Me

A project by Catherine Soto, 2009.

I have known these people but I no longer speak to most of them. I wrote these letters to seek resolve for myself and to unburden emotions I cannot share with these people. 

quote of the day

Foggy Bottom... I always felt like it sounded like a gay man's disease. 'Oh, yeah that guy. He's got Foggy Bottom.'

home for a minute

The last picture that I took in London, of my favorite tea spot. I ended up ordering a tea pot that they carry for myself by the British designer Nick Munro.

Upon arrival back at home I quickly realized that my strawberries were in need of picking. My neighbor warned me that it would be a fruitful year and she was absolutely right. The day before I left yielded an entire pot of delicious red berries, warm from the sun and ripe to eat.

I also made a dress. It was supposed to be easy. This part was not. It went something like this: insert pins in fabric and elastic, match pins, stretch elastic band to fit to fabric, attempt to use hands - a foot apart - to navigate in a straight line, repeat, repeat, repeat. It felt like trying to hold magnets apart.
