Style




I was completely blown away 
 when Constance suggested watching a you tube about 
Hans Silvester's photographs stun.
In New York people love style but nothing quite 
as amazing as this.



Herewith New York very recently
How wonderful to have the entire world on your head.
High Line July 24th



Heading to day camp.
Bus stop at 23rd Street.



Day camp T-shirts.
High Line.



The woman on the left is in NY default: black and white.
Her companion has made an effort.
Bravo.
9th Avenue



And the winner is..............
this elegant dresser.
23rd Street and 8th Avenue.

    Fabulous! I remember a sociology book about 30 years ago. It stuck with me because there were photos of people all around the world in traditional dress, geisha and Hmong Hill tribe, a few different african tribes and an American woman from the 70's with way too much bright blue eyeshadow and make up on. It was shocking. Shocking has gone way past bright blue eyeshadow these days.

    Haven't watched the video yet but that head tattoo is amazing! Easy to hide if you want, too, though I bet it was amazingly painful.

    I no longer wonder why Micheal Jackson wanted to do something about his face, even though he had something good to begin with. Exotic cosmetic issues whether of a natural cultural fact, borrowed, or of medical scientific research, has been a matter of interest since the beginning of time, and here we are simply discovering, thanks to the internet, that there is an audience (and sometimes a need for such transformations) at large, if not close to home!

    Love the style post...and that last man is dapper indeed. Oh Elizabeth, you have such an eye for the unique. No wonder your photos intrigue. I just love the two little girls off to camp. What could be more charming? Their messy windblown hair is so appealing. Sending love your way <3

    All I could think looking at that young woman's head was: did they anesthetize her before doing that?

    I can't get past that tattooed head . . . style is one thing, and self-inflicted pain quite another. I like your dapper pick.
