shady stuff...

in keeping with the eyewear theme as a result of THIS here's a quartet of looks for the end of the working week...bring on the week-end!

thursday quote: jay massacret...

McQ consultant, cK creative advisor, V man contributor and all-round good guy jay massacret waxes lyrical on his key career influence:

"ray petri has always been - and still remains to this day - a huge inspiration to me. his ability to mix high and low is something that is especially valid in today's climate."

the makings of my mood this week in three parts...

1. new nike trainers that frankly have me running better than ever before. talk about performance!
2. revised edition of simone de beauvoir's epic take on all that goes with possessing a female chromosome: "the second sex."
3. because i can't get enough of these l.a eyeworks frames. great design attracts great energy. life looks better through these lenses.

mid-week favorites...
