mod to modern

Hi there, the summer sun seems to be fading fast and there is always one question that comes up at this time of year. When to pack up the patio furniture? If I do pack up, the summer sun will return with a blast, and I will have to drag it all out again. If I leave it out, the cold will tumble in.
This here is a picture of my studio, this is where I do all of the work, that is the cutting and detail stuff. I am happy there and I had to put up a wall clock just to remind myself to keep on track, not to wander too far away from things.
I am still trying to drag myself through the bible, ye olde fashion phone book, that is, the September issue of Vogue. Kinda boring, kinda same ol' and it weighs a ton, but it has become a sort of a fall tradition. And signals a transition. I do want a pair of thigh high, grey suede boots (see the back of page 260). I want mine darker with a round toe and wedge heel though. I am already finished with the skinny jean too.If you are at all curvy forget it... I love a really wide leg, high waisted, tweed pant (pages 456 & 695). Katherine Hepburn wore them very well indeed. She always looked amazing when she golfed. With her two-tone spectator golf shoes and a tiny sweater and these double wide legged cuffed trousers, a soft wave of hair curving around those cheekbones. So sporty!
I cannot get current episodes of Project Runway, aaarrrgh. Or I am too clueless to read the new fall schedule. Or we just don't get the recent episode this far north? Where am I, Greenland? I mean, I live in Canada, but come on now. Hey, what exactly happens in Greenland anyways? They are not too far from us. How come we never hear anything from them? I know it is an icy, frozen land but so is Canada. They never drop by. We never hear from them. Are they Danish? Cool! Come on over you Eskimo lookin' , Danish speaking snowy neighbors. Lets send an icebreaker over and bring them back and hang out! Hey, maybey they are siphoning off Canada's episodes of Project R. Actually, I just watch that show hoping for a hissy scissor fight. Please, someone, slap the blond offa Heidi. Is she endlessly pregnant to keep everyone away when she "aufs" them? Kind of a sympathy ploy? I want a hidden camera in the model room, not to watch them but to hear the real deep down dirty-dirt.
Oh yeah, here is another picture of my favorite beastie boy, Boy-Boy without sweater. Mrrowrr.
