114th.

everyone check out 114th.net, a photoblog that chronicles a columbia student's life and times in new york city. the link--so graciously given to me by precious--is comforting to return to for a break away and a chance to see well-captured urban scenery. for the full catalog, click on archives. some of my favorites include the a photograph taken at the moma and a graffiti mural.

this woman is proud as the angle of her neck demonstrates. she evokes a mid-century look in the vein of halston and skin tight bodices. what intrigues me most is that her look is a golden take on 1950s sexuality. rather than skin-tight clam diggers before lycra allowed exhalation, she wears relaxed-fit red pants. rather than plunging peek-a-boo necklines, she coyly covers with white lace; not to mention the feline glasses. i love confidence in women.
