Tout est dans l'attitude

"Candy Cole"

"Ruffles"

"Carla Lavazza"

I'm enamored of Tom's new gold frame! It completes the work and adds an air of elegance. Here we are testing out different portraits although it was always meant for Carla Bruni and her lavazza moment. We saw an iconic photo of her while sipping our lavazza at Eataly, NYC (where we'll be headed if your joining us for our NYC trip!) and couldn't get over the cocky attitude. .. "Tout est dans l'attitude". 

Musical accompaniment Carla Bruni - Tout le monde

The Imaginarium of Lily Cole

Lily Cole in The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus

Tom and I recently saw the film The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus starring Christopher Plummer, the late Heath Ledger, Lily Cole, and cameos by Jude Law, Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell and Tom Waits as a truly believable Devil. It was fascinating to see the fashion model Lily Cole animated outside of her usual iconic 2-D form. We couldn't take our eyes off her and to hear her speak was unusual after so many years of mute exposure! It was somewhat like watching the Mona Lisa make up pasta in Nona's kitchen with all of her flaws, with the occasional f-word uttered when burning her hand.
In recognition of the film we've added two new prints of Lily to our etsy shop! These are two of the many (and my favorite!) representations by Tom of Miss Cole.
