my darling raquella!

get yourself a print or order a portrait from her directly. she makes the invisible tangible.
and is a fantastical yoga instructor.
[shameless plug for one of my best friends ever! i'm so seduced by the gorgeousness in my life, indeed!]

tiffa novoa rest in peace

always you live in our hearts

your spirit lives forever

your spirit lives forever
but i will much miss your magic hands
in this world
making things of such beauty and raw vision
like lightning you leave a crack across my sky
and burnt into my heart
i know you now you travel in your true form
a being of pure lifeforce
and i am honored to have been in your life
and have you in mine
for however fleeting
forever you will inspire me
everytime i sit to sew
and the raven's shadow passes in front of the sun
for that moment, remembering

much respect and so much love to all your heart family
i mourn your passing

YOU WEAR IT WELL 2 SCREENING IN SF : TOMORROW [Sunday] NITE : 8pm CONTRABAND GALLERY

Somehow I got involved in this film screening and Diane Pernet becuase nobody else here in SF seemed interested in making it happen or knows who she is. I do and I'm delighted to be facilitating this happening!
So now there's a film screening downtown tomorrow nite at my friend's space and it's going to be crazy. PLEASE COME! Can you send this to anyone who would be interested too? Fashion, art, videographers, hmmmm..... the works?
Diane Pernet is a style hunter/ fashion blogger/ international woman of mystery who also co-produces a film collection project entitled You Wear It Well. The stars have aligned and there will be a screening of the brand-new 2nd edition of the film shorts here in SF tomorrow nite. There is no charge, please BYOCHAMPAGNE and bring every one of your darling selves to watch 90 minutes of international style mayhem. This event was almost cancelled. It's now the underconstruction of production. Your gorgeousness will make it happen. Please join me to show the Paris scene how we wear it in San Francisco.
