Milord.

Hi!

My brother is out of school for the summer so, that means Krista gets less time on the Internet because..
OMFG, ITS 7:00 AM AND I'VE BEEN OFF XBOX LIVE FOR FOUR WHOLE HOURS!!!!!


So, hence the lack of posts today.


I have the goods now though!

Please, sit back and unwind from your day with the help of one french pixie named Edith Piaf.
I can bet you can recall what is probably her most widely popular song, La Vie en Rose which was prominently featured and sung by Audrey Hepburn in Sabrina , [1954] [lovely movie, by the way.] This is Edith performing Milord, which I believe is my favorite song on the repertoire of this lovely mademoiselle, on Ed Sullivan. Mmmm, like buttah:



So, do any of you have a favorite international singer? Is there an artist out there who is quite loved in his or her own country but, we don't have the pleasure of being aqquainted with in the U.S.A.?
Please, do enlighten me with musical greatness in the comments!

Coco Rocha.

Admittedly, I don't pay a lot of attention to the current fashion scene. I don't have a favorite model. I don't idolize these women; they all have a very similar, basic, model "look"... mostly one of voracious hunger..

BUT.

I am somehow drawn to the ethereal asthetic of one Coco Rocha .

I'm really very impressed with this shot for Vogue Korea.
I love the fact that makeup is not plastered onto her face like icing and they are allowing natural beauty to do most of the work for her that is, except for some sort of Photoshop I'm sure but, I digress.

I'll be keeping my eye on this gal.

So, do you have a favorite model?

Where is Ricky?

I've always been aware that decades ago, from about the 1930's through the 1960's, couples who had mentally incapacitated children were encouraged by family doctors and pediatricians to commit the child into an institution for the mentally ill. Family visits and all forms of contact were usually frowned upon.

This short 2:16 video, really touched my heart:


So, my question is this, do you have a family member with a mental disability and if so, when you sit back and think what might've become of your loved one if this was about 40 years ago, how does it make you feel? What is your take on the actions of these former doctors and perhaps the parents who surrendered their children to the state?

Glamour at the Convent!

Do any of you have friends or family members who is a nun or priest and if so, how has that affected your family as a whole, if at all?

I can has Wedensday Sisters??

Trish of Hey Lady! is giving away one copy of The Wedensday Sisters . Learn what you have to do & read her sparkling review of it right here.

It looks to me that Wedensday Sisters would be a great choice for some laid back summer reading!
