Summer has hit to hit its humid, sweaty stride, and yet I’m already craving fall.

I’m so intrigued by the Marina Abramovic performance show at MoMa right now. The museum is documenting the faces of visitors during the part in the exhibition where they sit across from the artist and stare at her as she stares back. Interestingly, this makes a number of people cry. I can’t stop staring at some of these images, which are fascinating in their own right. Each face is so unusual and beautiful. If anything, a reminder that extraneous makeup can be truly unappealing.

where the green grass grows

The moment one gives close attention to anything,
even a blade of grass, it becomes a mysterious, awesome,
indescribably magnificent world in itself.
- Henry Miller

I took this photo (of a photo) at FotoWeek DC last year. I want to lie down in the grass like this…in the middle of nowhere…and feel the spring breeze and listen to the air and do nothing else.

Poppy Mouth.

One of my favorite makeup looks of late is a bold, poppy-bright lip. It looks so feminine and glamorous, but is actually very easy to do, since it looks best with a near-naked face. So many of us reach for lip gloss that we forget the impact a bold lip can have. Try it tomorrow morning, and take note of how much more you are noticed (shades on my list-to-try: MAC Ruby Woo, Estee Lauder Cherry Ice, Chanel Gabrielle…anyone have a favorite?).

There is something so womanly and self-possessed about a woman applying her lipstick. To that point: observe Vanessa Paradis, the face of Chanel’s lipstick line, Rouge Coco, singing and whistling What a Day for a Daydream, engaging in the semi-private ritual in the “behind-the-scenes” campaign video, far better than the final edited version.

I got a sneak peek at the video during a preview for the Neiman Marcus Beauty Event, going on through Sunday (awesome free gifts w/a minimum purchase – so definitely go if you buy any sort of nice makeup and need to re-stock)

I’m positively smitten with Vanessa at the moment: her overall French sex-kittenishness, her comments about her relationship with Johhny Depp, the Joe Le Taxi video (omg!) and especially this video, which is making me want an old barn and a kitty.
