fashion tends to irritate me rather than interest me these days. even though i like it when people wear colorful and unique clothes, i get frustrated because it seems the whole world (well, probably not so much the gaza strip) has become so absorbed with lookbook.nu and being photographed for their local street press that they've forgotten that for the most part it's probably more sensible that your life should dictate your clothes and not the other way around.
for this reason i love to see stylish and fun-looking people riding bikes. candid photos, preferably. people who happen to look awesome, yet their first priority is to live their lives! is this, from copenhagen cycle chic not the most wonderful blog post?
it's mainly just two pictures, so just give it a quick glimpse.
and a quote from an american suffragist called susan b. anthony:
Let me tell you what I think of bicycling. I think it has done more to emancipate women than anything else in the world. It gives women a feeling of freedom and self-reliance. I stand and rejoice every time I see a woman ride by on a wheel...the picture of free, untrammelled womanhood."oh, and i saw nick cave last night! at the belvoir ampitheatre in perth, which was a very pretty venue. nick cave is basically the definition of inspiring, his is the sort of career i would most like to emulate (apart from the drug-ravaged part i suppose?) i really love watching performers who are on the older side. they have a wonderful confidence, a delightful respect for the crowd and a sense of showmanship that is rarely replicated by new kids on the block. now i can't wait to see leonard cohen.
