chances are....
so,
ive been wanting to do a post about indigenous people for awhile now. im still reeling about how truly disconnected our society has become from that way of life. i blame technology. i came across this picture while researching japan sometime ago. the Ainu are an indigenous ethnic group of Japan. some of them are still living today, but it is unsure how many are really left. Ainu culture dates from around 1200 CE. The Ainu were a society of hunter-gatherers, who lived mainly off fish and plants, and the people followed a religion based around phenomena of nature. all of these values and ways of life are almost distinct to us as a people now in a way....people take nature for granted more than anything, in my opinion.
the Ainu people wore such beautiful textiles as part of their garments. Traditional Ainu culture was quite different from Japanese culture. Never shaving after a certain age, the men had full beards and moustaches. Men and women alike cut their hair level with the shoulders at the sides of the head, trimmed semicircularly behind. The women tattooed their mouths, and sometimes the forearms. The mouth tattoos were started at a young age with a small spot on the upper lip, gradually increasing with size. The soot deposited on a pot hung over a fire of birch bark was used for color. Their traditional dress was a robe spun from the inner bark of the elm tree, called attusi or attush. Various styles of clothing were made, and consisted generally of a simple short robe with straight sleeves, which was folded around the body, and tied with a band about the waist. The sleeves ended at the wrist or forearm and the length generally was to the calves. Women also wore an undergarment of Japanese cloth.
i just love the prints and their ceremonious dress and dramatic makeup and layering..the head pieces, all of it...i thought everyone should take a look.....

waits
who the hell invented the fadora anyway??? if you can find out the answer and leave it on my blog then.....you'll be my new favorite person.
well, well, its been waay too overdue that i do a blog on mister tom waits. ive always admired his personal sense of style....it is always so crisp, but yet disheveled all at once. i think this harmonious combination just makes his style stand out. ive often wondered what it would be like to be in a room with tom waits, as ive always been a person who admires pure individuality. tom waits is individuality.....from his voice, to his stories, to his hats, to his way with impromptu, to his aesthetic, to his blunt intellect. all are things i truly admire about the man.....also i think,,,,just maybe he may like to follow me around for a day, he may find some very interesting subject matter for a song ;)

'This paperback is very interesting, but I find it will never replace a hardcover book - it makes a very poor doorstop'
alfred hitchcock has to be one of the most stylish men of all time (in my humble opinion). i was talking with a woman that i work with and she was telling me about her new years eve night...she said she spent the whole night watching hitchcock films and i remember thinking, "yeah, i went to a party, and definitely drank way too much champagne, stood on a rooftop with sparklers, played dice and got a new years kiss from a beauty.... but my new years night was definitely lacking mister alfred hitchcock". he is a true pioneer of so many film techniques that are still being used today and he is an inspiration to many directors. he was born in london and if you look him up on trusty wikipedia it tells a story of his father sending him down to the police station on a regular basis to be punished for his bad behavior. alfred h. you are a true inspiration for your individuality, creativity and impeccable style...
