given your superior cultural education, you may already know what i am about to say, but i feel compelled to converse anyway. the background picture on the phoebe-blog is by irina ionesco, a photo of her young daughter eva. irina ionesco is a romanian-french photographer who reminds me the darkling predecessor of ellen von unwerth and sally mann. she started photographing her precocious daughter eva at the age of five, posing her child in very sexual circumstances. at present, she has not quite settled with eva (they have been in court for ages and ages), though eva seems to have utilized the abuse she claims to have suffered as inspiration for a film (my little princess; it's worth checking out). i'm mildly obsessed with irina's aesthetic. it makes me think of austra, the master and margarita, witches, walpurgisnacht, circuses (but not the creepy modern kind), silent film stars, and stevie nicks. in a word, hauntings. this is how i'm feeling this morning.
in other news, i'm currently questing for long velvet skirts and beribboned tambourines to turn this feeling into a wardrobe reality.
