American Fair by Pamela Littky

I have always been fascinated by carnivals and fairs. Pamela Littky documents them with beautiful photographs. I really enjoyed the photography and how she captured the different people who attend fairs across many of our U.S. states as well as the workers who work hard to put the fairs together.

Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein

This past weekend I attended the Frankestein film festival at Stanford movie theater in Palo Alto California. If you get a chance to check out that old theater you should. We stayed at the historic Cardinal hotel which was old Spanish style 1920's and had really cool old elevators. 

Goth outfit inspiration: Nancy in The Craft

 One of the most important movies in high school for me was The Craft with Fairuza Balk. Nancy was loved by many. She embodied the rebellion in many of us and we kind of rooted for her in that film despite her mean and crazy ways and she was fun to watch.  The girls in that film were brave, fierce and fashion forward. If there was anything that film taught us it was good triumphs over evil and we need not overuse power and to be thankful for the natural gifts we have. Many years later we still find the influence of that 90s film in many of our clothing items that we style, our makeup, our attitudes. Gotta admit when the going gets rough some of us have a little snarky, tough Nancy in us that we gravitate towards to fight on.
