Something about these little garden tools from Hermes just makes me happy. It is such a lovely blend of luxury and utility. For $330.00 they are certainly extravagant, but at the same time, I just can’t knock ‘em. I don’t think I could ever justify buying them for myself, but as a gift they would be amazing: way better than jewelry.
“In 1969, a 14-year-old Beatle fanatic named Jerry Levitan, armed with a reel-to-reel tape deck, snuck into John Lennon’s hotel room in Toronto and convinced John to do an interview about peace. 38 years later, Jerry has produced a film about it. Using the original interview recording as the soundtrack, director Josh Raskin has woven a visual narrative which tenderly romances Lennon’s every word in a cascading flood of multipronged animation. Raskin marries the terrifyingly genius pen work of James Braithwaite with masterful digital illustration by Alex Kurina, resulting in a spell-binding vessel for Lennon’s boundless wit, and timeless message.”

How much do I really, really want to see this film. I mean, a film about sex as it actually is? With all its awkwardness and bizarre feelings and humour. It’s about time we started looking at sex more candidly to see that it is so rarely a romantic, earth-shatteringly spectacular thing. It’s way more complicated and way, way funnier than that.
I love men in skirts. I’ve been saying so for years. There is something that so deeply accentuates masculinity when a man wears “feminine” clothing. It is very much like the allure of androgyny that happens when a woman wears masculine clothing. When done just right, it’s just plain hot.

This is the beauty of when very, very old technology meets very, very new technology.
“It is perhaps not extravagant to see the mechanism as a microcosm illustrating the temporal harmonization of human and divine order.”
So I just had a fantastic evening at the new sweet-spot in Atlanta, Holeman & Finch Public House. Awesome. Just awesome. The space is beautiful: lots of vertical lines; a warm, post-industrial feel; cozy and casually intimate; hanging meat. The service is outstanding: prompt, polite, funny, genuinely friendly. The food is superb: chefs Linton and Gina Hopkins of Restaurant Eugene next door serve up such Southern delicacies as fried pigs ears and tails, deviled eggs, crawfish bignets, souse, and bone marrow. The drinks are fantastic: 1920′s inspired, new twists on Southern classics, all creative, all beautifully balanced: coke with Amaro Cio Ciaro and a lime-juice ice cube, my personal favourite, Vieux Carre Cocktail – Old Overholdt Rye Whiskey, Landy VS Cognac, Noilly Prat Sweet Vermouth, Benedictine, Angostura Bitters, Peychaud Bitters, and the bartender made my husband a perfect Scorched Earth. And the bread, the bread. . . oh god the bread. H&F Bread Company is supposed to open any day now. When it does, Atlanta will finally have a truly world-class bakery (until they open, you can sample the goodness at the Peachtree Road Farmers Market in St. Philips’ parking lot from 8-12 on Saturdays).
And best of all. . . it’s open ’till 1:30 in the morning.
So I just got a fantastic new dress from worthwhile‘s newest addition Complex Geometries. It’s so comfy and I’ve found about six different ways I can wear it. I have a new love.
