15 by corrine day

 

"i was just having a laugh.

Corrine just wanted to bring out

everything that i hated

when i was 15.

my bow legs,

the mole on my breast

 the way i laughed."

Paris 1962

before les halles,

the "belly of paris"

was torn down

for 800 years

les halles was the

central wholesale

market of paris

 

brewing revolution

with its pungent cheeses,

loitering thieves, lively cafés

and jungle of steel arcades.

"sending the blood of life

through every vein of the city"

 emile zola 

le ventre de paris

can't live without

a triangle and t square

a glue stick!

what are
your tools?

just 1 prop
a chair.

a cold ny day,

but with confetti

wrapping a pinata for

bear to take off

our coats.

dressed in confetti

"The City is an addictive machine

from which there is no escape."

delirious new york

it was not enough

to just visit nyc.

 

 the city cast a spell

on me some years ago.

it makes me

delirious!

someday a real rain will come 

and wash this scum off the streets

- robert de niro, taxi driver (1976)

nyc is white glove

clean these days

you know

a lot of new yorkers

who lived here in the 70's / 80's

have an uncanny nostalgia

for the old filthy gotham.

i've heard a lot

of stories.

a taxi driver once

told me with light in his eyes

"it was a dirty town, man, but

the city had soul...i can't

explain it. soul baby."

rudy's new york 

reminds me of my new york.
always modest furnishings.

a furnace, a window

a chair, a desk.

and a glass of pens.

  

nyc tomorrow

places to go, people to see

i hope i haven't missed 

the first snow.

ph: rudy burckhardt

via happy accident

lighter layers

when will it end!

the aggressive 80's fashion

swarming the city streets

 magazines and stores.

it's been 2 years
of severe severe darkness.

leather, shoulders, spike heels

studs, ridiculous fashion editor attire

everyone looks so "affected"

well all need to chill out.

ah, but i feel a sweet feminine

revolution beginning to blossom:
nouveau french seventies romance

floral crop blouses, long skirts

patch work jeans, beige,
suede, and floppy hats
chanel sp 10

i have no desire
to look edgy.


i'm good to go with
some patched jeans and
a flower in my shirt pocket.



ps: until spring,
my winter uniform:
ali mcgraw in "a love story"
 plaid skirt with tights & pea coat
anna karina in band of outsiders
red stockings too.
