the wizard of ozz syndrome: red shoes

there are too many blogs but few originals...I believe daddytypes.com is one of them..the idea is funny, there is a reason, the whole blog reflects a philosophy. I don't have a children but even for me the site is very interesting because the family concept that we are used to has changed. what we had before was a part of a stupid system. you'll get married, you have a children, a dog, prototype life.
now parents are more conscious and they really enjoy raising a children.
at least some people got the serious idea of having a children, how to manage all responsibilities, to share and respect. this is about real modernism, images are not discussed, only value matters.
kids, especially girls are very concerned about their looks. I really don't want to generalize but mostly by their nature they are addicted to coquette stuff. when I saw the post about red shoe obsession in daddytypes I realized that I still have the red shoe obsession. you can call it wizard of oz psychos but I know what I mean.
2005 spring season costume national redshoes, when I saw them after christmas I was paralyzed... or from 2006 winter collection christian dior red shoes. and I really don't like galliano's designs..pierre hardy style red shoes...I even remember, it was maybe the second season of marc jacobs designing for louis vuitton, I spent all my salary to buy red ballerinas with volants...I don't like to wear too fancy or sexy clothes nor shoes, I just have this specific karma with red shoes. as daddytype says I am a magnet for cool red shoes..

canopy beds and childhood romance.......

when I was a little girl I saw it for the first time in my mom's best friend's summer residence: it was a super king, victorian style, covered with ugly flower printed textiles canopy bed. I was thrilled and started to dream of having a similar bed for my old ages.
of course it never happened!!! because when you are a children you don't have all kind of psychological
problems that adults have like panic attack, anxiety, claustrophobia etc etc... unless I have a min 50 sqm bedroom I can sleep peacefully in a canopy bed.
but if you want to get one, I suggest you these sleek canopy beds, they are very minimal contrary to my monster looking childhood dreams bed.

kate moss rudi gernreich and the it swimsuit

swimwear is a serious subject: who would like to be identical with pucci or missoni style printed bikinis around st tropez? of course it depends on your point of view, I mean if you want to have a stylish beach look you need a complete collection including all kind of accessories.
but sometimes even on the beach less is more is a sexy and good idea. when I saw kate moss's monokini swimsuit from pirelli2006 calendar I found out that the piece is designed by "rudi gernreich."

Along with British designer Mary Quant, Rudi Gernreich was one of the true avatars of 1960s fashion, responsible for thrusting haute couture into the mainstream of popular culture. His most famous--or infamous--contributions were the topless bathing suit (for women) and the no-bra bra.
Riding the crest of mod, psychedelic, and sex-centered fashion, Gernreich pioneered the use of cut-outs, plastics, and unisex styles. The contemporary image of 1960s fashion as symbolized by willowy models wearing brightly colored, vibrantly patterned, and revealing clothing owes much to Gernreich's contributions.

A very political artisan, Gernreich made gorgeous, wearable clothing that not only pointed to the future... they nodded to the past. In a textile that had not been used for bathing suits since the 1920s .

I believe thanks to pirelli 206 calendar next summer rudi gernreich's designs are going to be the most fashionable swimwear around.
