autumn days

so it's late september and the air is chilling slightly over here in london town. the days are clear, crisp and sunny. it's time for wool and tweed. here's my first official autumn look for your viewing pleasure.





in this outfit today we went to brick lane and i bought a leather pencil skirt... trust me! i can make it work. we ate pad thai and went couch shopping and lay in the park on our jackets in the sunshine. sandy drank peronis and i drank ice tea. we ate chips and then walked home hand in hand.

ears and eyes

hey c,

sorry i haven't replied to your info-filled email. i was delighted to receive it - but i have been super unwell with some horrible ear infection. my ears are crackly and i feel like i'm wandering around in a bubble. it sucks big time.

anyways during my recuperation i have been sewing up a storm and have finished by first piece on the new sewing machine:

nyc

ok, so i think i will just keep writing... perhaps you will post one day when you have internet... or not - anyway for now this can be my audio/visual diary for you.

so i'm back in london. i went to nyc and it was amazing and dirty and hot and i got sick, but still had some good times. here is my collage for you to see the things i saw while i was there. it was rad.





nanny, out.

Bowie

So I was talking to some people over dinner last night about eighties fantasy movies and we realized that David Bowie in The Labyrinth was a sexual awakening for many women of our age. It got me thinking about those tight grey trousers and their strange and magical allure and I was inspired to write a poem. I thought I would share it with you.

Bowie.

Goblins and goblets,
and dove grey sheaths;
so suggestive.
shadows and light;
dance magic dance
for my teenage delight.


So there you go, I hope you enjoyed that. Seriously - this is turning into a one way blog - are you ever joining me in the 21st Century and online.

I miss you.

hey kitty,

well, i'm here in toronto - looking out the window of my 11th floor apartment..sorry - condo. the sky is getting dark as i watch old episodes of law and order.

the day before yesterday there was a tornado just outside the city, the sky was green and the rain blew sideways - i felt like dorothy.

in two weeks i will be in new york, i will go to beacons closet and think of you.

the dummy

Hey C-Payne,

The bodyform is made and I've put together a wee video of how Sandy and I made it in case you want one. It's not that hard, but it takes ages so you need a free weekend to finish it. Also, be prepared to feel a bit claustrophobic and pukey when you are encased in a tight wrapping of tape, it's hot and not very comfortable.

Many kisses and squeezes.

Nanny
