Sew Amazin

Alright,  so I'm emerging from my laziness cocoon to post about this lady's blog:

This summer I began watching Mad Men which resulted in me rabidly consuming the entire 4 seasons on Netflix and becoming obsessed.  Of course I fancy myself a Peggy Olson, and it was in searching through image banks Peggy's costumes for Halloween ideas that I found Julia Bobbin's blog.  The quality of the replica clothing she makes is pretty impressive, and they're all made for fun in between working her 9-5 job--inspiring!

Happy Monday!

Happy Monday

I'm thinking of getting a twitter solely for the ability to follow this girl's tweets.  (Full girl-crush post to come).

Isidore Grandville.  Besides having a bitchin' name, he did amazing illustrations of animals as caricatures of the bourgeoisie figures of his day. Now, I love a good anthropomorphic engraving, and his are some of the most evocative I've every seen:
