Being for the benefit of...!

If any of you have followed me for a long period of time, then you have probably noticed that I have some posts named "Being for the benefit of [insert last name here]". It's from The Beatles' song "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite"

Well, I do those posts in honor of some of the people I love/admire and all of the photos have to be of them of course, mostly are women but I did do one for Dylan. Here's the link to all of the the posts (so far... 10) I've done for...

+Edie Sedgwick
+Patti Hansen
+Dovima
+Bob Dylan
+Sophia Loren
+Brigitte Bardot
+Cher
+Catherine Deneuve
+Jane Birkin
+Gia Carangi

Video tiiime! Three videos from three different decades! One from 1967, one from 1981 and the last one from today! All love, enjoy!

Under the effect

A group of people including Cambridge housewife Barbara Dunlap under the effect of LSD-25, during an experiment conducted by Intl. Fed. for Internal Freedom in February 1963. All taken by John Loengard in Massachusetts, U.S.

I cannot help but wonder what they were experiencing, and also think about the fact that they were among the first ones to experience the beginning of... I'm gonna call it 'something'. [credit: art.com]

Being for the benefit of Ms. Deneuve

These were all taken in 1961 by Loomis Dean! I have no idea for what though, but she was on some set the whole time. In the making of a film is the closest answer. I should have done this 2 days ago, because it was her birthday! oh well. Happy Birthday beautiful!

Things went wrong today, bad news came my way, I woke up to find, what I had in my mind

I've been very depressed, these images kind of make me happier. that's all. [credit: garancedore.fr, flickr, tfs, seaofjoy, tomorrowiscalling, and my blog :]

New York street scene 1969

All photographs shot by the wonderful Vernon Merritt III (who is basically the Sartorialist of the time) + via foryourlove. I fell in love with all of these, not only because it captures the sixties but because it's New York City he was in!

Psycho a go go

The Sonics "Psycho a go go" featuring the coolest go go dancer I've ever seen. I'm am so stunned with this. and it looks easy, but i'ts not! [via/source]

Hit the road Jack, and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more!

Las Vegas chorus girl Kim Smith and her roomate in Nevada 'doing stuff'. This was for an article on Time magazine in 1954. All pics taken by the great Loomis Dean! Really don't feel like posting at all, I have gone vintage i guess on blogger. Also giving up on it :/ [art.com]

Penn Station

This is a Pennsylvania Station post; couples in Penn Station saying goodbye before the mates ship off to war during World War II in New York 1943 + 1944 All taken by Alfred Eisenstaedt. Someday, I'll probably have the third photo up big in my house! [source, art.com]

It's August 9, my birthday! :D

Also, other people that have the same birth date as me are Audrey Tatou (i love her)! Eric Bana, Juanes and Whitney Houston. I'm actually doing nothing, going to eat some pizza with the family, then later some cake!

"Kate Moss is a vampire. Now I see pictures of her with a boy who looks like Mick Jagger, and her looking like me. So there was a reason. It’s one of her gigs to do me. She wanted to read me like a Braille book. And she did. It’s a vampirical thing. She’s not really my friend. I thought she was, but she’s very clever. She’s very complex – she’s very like me. She’s a Capricorn. I think she’s great. ‘You know, it’s OK. I don’t give a shit. But I was quite offended at the time. We were very fond of each other. And then it suddenly soured,’ she added. She’s very clever, but she isn’t at all educated. We don’t have any [common] references. Except music."

— Marianne Faithfull


This was recently.

2:35 am

From top to bottom (all pics from my tumblr) Mods, Taylor Momsen, Syd Barrett, Zoe, Chrissie Shrimpton, Zooey & Tennessee Thomas, Jim & Pam, Alexa. Do you guys noticed what I did? I put a sixties, then a new photo; a oldie, then a new one, etc. All of these have been very inspirational in this cruel, boring summer.

Miracle workers

Then old Helen Keller and girl who portrayed her in 1962's The Miracle Worker (Patty Douke). I am so glad Patty won an Academy Award for that role, because she did beyond great. And these photographs are absolutely gorgeous! They were taken sometime in the early 1960s. Ph: Nina Leen

Okay got it. Thank you very much for your references, etc. But i searched and i'm going to try to read these books. Oh, and the photo at the top is just cute ^-^
-Franny + Zooey by J.D. Salinger
-Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut

***my dad had this book in Dominican Rep. and now it's somewhere in our house there. You don't know what you have until you lose it >_>

These Dr. Martens are made for walking

It upsets me that she loves Twilight. Because I like her a lot; seems selfish of me saying that, but whatever. Sienna's too great for that!

How she won the war

Looking, not nice, but beyond wonderful. So great I can stare for a long time. photographed by Fransesco Brigida in Sportswear. She was on the cover too. tfs

i'm getting teary eyed xD so funny.

Can anyone offer me books to read?

It does not matter, just whatever, tell me. Tell me something you've read (that you liked, ovbio). I just, feel like reading sooo bad right now. I'm in this Alice In Wonderland mode. and thanks a lot if you reply :] I appreciate it guys.

It's 5:46 am

I love these 3 pictures. Forever and ever. Going to reply right now... and thank you for the comments.

For Loren

every single straberry photo i found i'm gonna keep putting it here.

foryoulove.tumblr :]

When I looked at the zoom it image, i was like "okay? he proposed to her, and that's the ring.", But then I saw the Half-Blood Prince.

You walking like you're handy in a fight

CC summer dreams

The Chanel bike, $3,500.
I don't even have a normal typical bike.

The two books of my dreams

The Beatles Anthology (written by them) and believe, I've seen it and read about 2 pages of it... and the book is NOT small. It's very interesting, just by the things they reveal. Pretty shocking.

and 1967's Birds of Britain which is a rare coffee table book about actresses, songstresses and models of swinging 60’s London photographed by John D. Green. I know that this is probably the coolest book out there (you can tell by the pictures in the bottom). Now I just wish for them...

"Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit ‘em, but remember it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird."

I just adore photographs of this type. Regina, She's lovely, Always! I think of her as one of those people that don't really have to do anything to make you smile. So is James. Oh, yeah that IS BarackO in college when young.

Title quote from the book To Kill A Mockingbird PS: This is a repost, because I found cooler photos ^-^

I wish this was my family

Velvet Sedgwick Warhol

"i love it when you have a cd for a long time & you always skip over that one track because you heard a second or two of it once, like when you were hearing the whole cd for the first time, & that one song seemed slow or just not your type. so you skip over it every time you listen to the cd, but then there’s that one time when you hear it & you fall madly in love with it, & you wonder why you ever skipped it in the first place."

-some tumblr account

Happens to me every time I buy one!

This photo made me realize...

...I have grey tights, and white tights,
but no black tights!? They're basic!

See you later, innovator

Twins Elena & Manuela Lazic in TV Aug 2009. The reason I feature this image (besides for it being on my background right now) is because this is the exact way I'm feeling like dressing right now. And when school starts too. I love every single piece of these two. If you wanna see the rest of the spread, eslavogue has it.


PS: Today is the master's birthday. Jack White, I love you.

Egle eyes lashing out

Who Cecz?

Cecilia Mendez' new shots. I personally love her because her face features are different from other models, and I feel I can relate to her (not going there) That's something I keep to myself. She reminds me of Aggy a lot here too! [suprememanagament.com]

Oh, Boyd

This is from i-D February and there's another page too. He is amazing(ly stunning)! tfs

I really really want a sewing machine. To do 'stuff' with it. I know it insinuates that i'm creative, etc. and that I will know what to do with it, but I know that if an idea comes into my head, or I'm bored, it could be helpful. via the selby

PS: You HAVE to see Kristen Ritter's home in L.A. It's not the apartment that's going to 'wow' you, but all the small details about it (and the huge framed photographs on the walls) is what's gonna amaze you. It's old, but I hadn't seen it. Erin Wasson's home is also beyond cool, but I'm guessing we have all seen it.
Okay. Here is the ULTIMATE THING I WANT,





A gramophone. Erin has it.

CC Cont.

The new 1st one is new, both on the bottom are the ones I already post before. I think they're beautiful! (notice i always name Chanel posts 'CC') via snailscans.blogspot

Bang bang, shoot shoot

Like I mentioned in one of my previous post, Julia was one of the first models i go into before. And very long ago I saw of a picture of her and this girl I didn't know (turned out, it was Behati!) hahahh funny how things are. so I saw it again!

Reminds me of the days when i knew nothing; or less.

Cinema takes life, while fashion takes flight

Apparently there's going to be a new film about Amelia Earheart this year! I don't know anything about it yet though. Harper's Bazaar July 09 [tfs]

Seriously Sienna

My only two faves of her in July US Vogue. The ones without the caption :]

Tastes just like cherry cola

Are you kidding me? Do people really dress this cool in Stockholm? It's almost like being in a candy wonderland. [stylesightings]

My stairs, i want the books there!

Brian, top marks for not trying

40 years ago today Brian Jones passed away (in 69). This post is dedicated to him not because he was a musical genius, but because i think he was one of the most beautiful, and interesting people I'm never going to have the chance to meet. He was, and will always be the leader of the Stones for me.

And it's just like she's in another world

I bought 'Up The Bracket'! Yay! The Libs first album, and yes I do love it. Now all i'm buying is old albums, I haven't buy something new (meaning released in these years) since 2007. Photo credit: Viktor Vauthier

Giggles

Haha! (Don't take me serious please!)

Okay

Carmen Electra?


and Cassie.


Yeah, obviously you know what my remark is going to be about this. I don't really want to interfere with it, but I can't help it. Other persons who have done it; Lala Vasquez, Raven Symone & singer Kesh. I also don't know if they're aware that Alice Dellal exits, or else. But Cassie said they she wants to have an "edgier look" and a "'i don't give a fuck' attitude!" Worst part is... People think that Cassie started the trend! In my opinion, 70s and 80s punks obviously started it. But right now, all credits should go to Alice.
