Mediterranean Makeover

Moroccan Aqua

I love only alice's Marrakesh flickr set (no kidding). Looking through about a thousand magazines (before recycling) for the color for bedroom curtains. Looking at a Bonnard print against the terracotta paint, I nearly flicked my own forehead: the sea. It's only been on the wall for, oh, 15+ years. This will remind me: stop trying to blend in. [Update - yes, I do know how to spell 'Morocco'. Abject apologies to Moroccans.]

Artful Annie

Ever-so-cool & arty Annie Lennox. There are many great black & white pix of her but I love the color here. I've been listening to her cover album, Medusa, a lot lately. And then playing songs by the original writers/singers. Particularly Don't Let it Bring You Down by Neil Young (whom I love despite his crankiness & often reflexive sexist statements...he's mellowed somewhat in that respect). Here's a September post, Scots We Like, from the other blog, early on with another photo & credits & more reasons to like Annie.

Italian bloggers have style

Oh they're just wonderful, even if they are nuts. Maybe that's why I love them. This is the banner from the conglomeration of Italian bloggers for Darfur...Yes, my worlds collide. Isn't that George Costanza's cri de coeur? "Worlds colliding, Jerry..." :) I'm still looking for the attribution but taking a decidedly Italian attitude about it. ciao
