Hey Gang,

I'm gearing up for the New People event and am wondering about sumthinsumthin! Would love to know your thoughts!

Pouchy Preference! from Twinkie Chan on Vimeo.

The Gods Who Decide Which Shot to Use for Movie Previews are never kind to me, are they? Sheesh! Snaggletooth much?

I've also been working on my ruffley salad scarflette. Here's where it was at last night. Today I've been building on the ruffles and making them BIGGER! There's almost two skeins of Malabrigo in this sucker right now!!!!

I'm also eager to try making the waffle cowl I've always wanted! I need to pick yarn for it! (Oh no....MORE YARN SHOPPING.....). But I guess having the perfect color and perfect weight and perfect texture are more important to me than using up the old stash. Onward!

how fun are these fabric covered jazz shoes and ankle boots by greenpoint, brookyn-based osborn design studios? VERY. the shoes and boots are all handmade in guatemala city using locally-sourced materials.

i think the top and bottom pair are (almost!) literally begging to be mine…party time booties, indeed!

mai, a friend from my san francisco days and the powerhouse behind the fabulous bay area-based street fashion site fashioni.st has had her style showcased on mighty girl this week, an equally huge bay area blog, as a part of the “mighty closet” series. which is, as far as i can discern, maggie’s celebration of the style of women in her life (?).

anyway, all the ladies featured are fabulous, but mai is my favorite, and not just because she’s a friend…

mai is one of the most creative dressers i have ever met. her style is off-the-wall, irreverent, unapologetic, current, futuristic, and retro, all at once. she has an amazing, art-informed eye, and her outfits are like these amazing collages of influences and incredible finds (cheap and not so cheap). to top it all off, she’s wickedly intelligent, a loyal, generous friend, and incredibly confident. she’s not everyone’s cup of tea, especially stylistically, but my my, what a tasty cup of tea she is to those who know her and/or can appreciate her.

mai is an inspiration to me. i miss you mai!

(btw: how friggin amazing is that headband???!!! oh, covet.)

Here are the winter-themed LHJ pages I promised you two weeks ago. I hope you find them helpful considering the current weather. The page above is the Sub-Deb column that ran in each LHJ issue and it was targeted to the teens reading this magazine. In a letter to the editor section around July 1940 they published a letter from a teen asking for advise regarding running away. They used this letter to show that the Sub-Deb section was not frivolous as some have commented, so I suppose this editorial was not the favorite of some subscribers! I scanned this particular page because I absolutely love this illustration. it is scenes like this that make me wish so much that I could just step back in time.

There is one of these Line Day pages in each issue. They vary from being very helpful with some great food ideas to being complete gibberish.

Some tips on keeping warm with DIY projects. Once again, why don't modern magazines do this? I really like the flannel slip/underskirt idea; especially considering I have no pants that fit me right now and I'm making due with wool skirts and wool tights this winter!

Lastly, for those into vintage ads, here's one from Kotex. I scanned this one in mainly because I like the girl on the left's outfit. I also like the soda pop shop scene on the bottom left.

Hope you enjoy these, more Ladies Home Journal scans coming!
