Thymes Azure

Thymes Azure

Since I moved into my US base, in Cincinnati, back in March, I've been plagued by a most unfortunate problem: It stinks.

The smell comes and goes, and I can pretty much hide it from visitors (though I always point it out, and explain that it's not me, it's the building), but it's distressing. This building used to be a shoe factory back in the olden days, but the stink is not that of feet or ...

  I have bitchface 
  Originally uploaded by dynamist.

When I'm not smiling or frowning, this is what my face looks like. People always think I'm in a bad mood, or pissed off, or mad at them, because this is what it looks like when I'm not using any of my facial muscles (except the ones that keep my eyes open).

I have to admit to being a little annoyed ...

Specifically, MAC Pigment in Golden Olive, layered on top of the cream shadow component of Tarte Lock & Roll Eyeshadow Duo in Bronze, makes a gorgeous, shimmery combination that stays put all damn day. Me like.

Anything you'd like me to ask the most likable man in fashion?

As I said in email to a few friends: All of my questions would be about the Top Design contestants, I think, so one of you is bound to have something more intelligent or funny to ask. "Think you can kick Isaac Mizrahi's ass?" is my stand-by question at this point; as ever, Target comes through with the goods!

I've only just started to think about ...

Porn star beauty

Of all the reactions one can have to Naomi Wolf, I find that I am just always, always embarrassed for her.

So it was again when it took a man - Julian Sanchez - to suggest to Wolf the real reason younger women are much more spare of hair down there than women of Wolf's generation: They're getting more head than you did, lady.

Sanchez also has a counterpoint to more of Wolf's research-free conclusions on men and ...

  Terminal 4, luggage carousel 6 
  Originally uploaded by dynamist.

Killing time between a flight and a bus ride this morning (oh, hi, I'm back in America. Miss me?), I wandered around Macy's looking for bargains so great I would not be able to resist. I couldn't find any of those - surprisingly, since Macy's seems always to have gorgeous dresses marked down to almost nothing - but did ...

  Staring into the sun

...I still think my new cut looks best swept away from my forehead. (Photo taken Sunday morning in France, after a red-eye flight from NYC to London and a quick change of shirt at home before a 3 hour car ride to Dover and a 1.5 hour ferry ride to Calais. Man, did I love sleep after that.)

Expect a few ...

My liberating new cut

My liberating new cut

  For Karri 
  Originally uploaded by dynamist.

I took a few more pictures of the cut, for my friend Karri, who wanted to see it from all angles (here's a profile shot).

I washed it this morning, and then my blow dryer suddenly quit working. I was still able to make it look pretty good, though, which was a relief. Also, the sides are a little longer than ...

Chop chop

Chop chop

Hillary's gorgeous, long, straight hair reminded me that my hair is never going to look that good at such a length. So I got it all cut off today.

It's jacked in this picture, because it was windy and got all tangled and flattened, but I like the cut a lot. Can't wait to play with it and try different products (I came home to a huge box of Alterna goodies today from their PRs). Thanks to Melinda at ...
