Boutique Narelle: Is it a piano or is it a sewing machine?

Tuesday, November 22, 2011

I'm a fashion journalist. I'm also a singer/songwriter [visit Songuine here]. I looked at this sewing machine and saw a piano. =) Just had to share.

Quote of the Week

"Yesterday Jo and I went to Provincetown. We sat at an umbrella-shaded table by the sidewalk and watched the passion parade of dejected, disheveled, semi-nude humanity shuffling and sashaying and schlepping along the sidewalk in search of a good time. The nudity is not supposed to move us. We are asked to behold without shock, without even surprise, the nearly total exposure of every conceivable shape and size of physique. But I don't want to look at nudity without emotion. I want it reserved to enhance, not exhibited to destroy, the depth of individual experience. I feel I am being robbed of the incalculably valuable treasures of delicacy, mystery, and sophistication. Modesty was a system of protection. But the alarms have all been disconnected. The house is wide open to plunder.
"The distinction between intimacy and openness is rubbed out altogether. The craze for "sensitivity" and "sharing"has done its pernicious work. There is no longer a sense of occasion or appropriateness. What ought to be hidden is displayed. What ought to be whispered or covered in silence is shouted. What ought to be kept back to a chosen time, a chosen place, and a chosen individual is thrown out into the thoroughfare."

Elisabeth Elliot: "Let Me Be A Woman"
