God’s green grass; Zara’s colourful sandals… 

[Quietly going berserk over them… and I’d like to act all cool like we’ve been having these fashion vibes here in SA, but nope; I’m hugely excited to have found these cuties at Zara this past Saturday!]

Rollin’ with Reba and Kea

partly because of my love for you, partly because of your love for yoghurt partly because of the fluorescent orange tulips around the birches, partly because of the secrecy our smiles take on before people and statuary it is hard to believe when I’m with you that there can be anything as still as solemn as unpleasantly definitive as statuary when right in front of it in the warm New York 4 o’clock light we are drifting back and forth between each other like a tree breathing through its spectacles

and the portrait show seems to have no faces in it at all, just paint you suddenly wonder why in the world anyone ever did them

I look at you and I would rather look at you than all the portraits in the world except possibly for the Polish Rider occasionally and anyway it’s in the Frick which thank heavens you haven’t gone to yet so we can go together the first time and the fact that you move so beautifully more or less takes care of Futurism just as at home I never think of the Nude Descending a Staircase or at a rehearsal a single drawing of Leonardo or Michelangelo that used to wow me and what good does all the research of the impressionists do them when they never got the right person to stand near the tree when the sun sank or for that matter Marino Marini when he didn’t pick the rider as carefully as the horse

it seems they were all cheated of some marvelous experience which is not going to go wasted on me which is why I am telling you about it

I liked this vintage Louis Vuitton ad.

Didn’t mean to be gone for so long, but all’s well, I’m back now.

That’s right nigga Mona Lisa can’t fade her…”
