home again, home again

i'm home after one of the loveliest vacays ever...living in a little mountain cabin decorated with raccoons, hiking mountains and spending so much wonderful time with some of my besties was beyond lovely. seclusion, and life sans technology are both wonderful things, and i couldn't have been happier to embrace both. not to mention that i got to see jack do some sick scottish dancing. a wonderful, wonderful trip indeed :)

but now, my loves, back to the real world! at the national portrait gallery in canberra there will be a twiggy retrospective beginning september 19th. upon discovering this i immediately went to search for photos, which, alas, do not exist. but then, a discovery was made! the NPG is currently running a "vanity fair: portraits" exhibition which is sensational. some of the world's most influential and fabulous, photographed exquisitely...it's a dream.
