Fuck Yeah, Mick Jagger








I came across this blog that has the most incredible candid vintage photographs of Mick Jagger and the Stones. Who knew Mick had such an affinity for dressing in drag? There are more great pictures of Mick with Bowie, Dylan, Hendrix and James Brown among others.

Portraits of America's Endangered Species




Joel Sartore, who has been called the Richard Avedon of animals, traveled from coast to coast, compiling portraits of American wildlife on the brink of extinction. I love how his photographs of these largely overlooked and unknown creatures give the animals such character against the black or white backdrop- especially the California tiger salamander.

There are more incredibly photos here on NPR's website by way of National Geographic: http://www.npr.org/blogs/pictureshow/2010/03/rare.html

Dries Van Noten





I know the last couple of posts have been pretty fashion-heavy, but that being said- check out the latest Dries Van Noten winter 10/11 collection...dayumm. This essentially sums up my own personal aesthetic or a more polished version if I had a bottomless bank account. I'm in love with the mixing of leopard with stripes and bold patterns as well as the belted trenches that give the collection a contemporary take on the French new wave look. Enjoy!
