i was having a blah day, saw this, and brought a hearty smile to my face. thanks, miss meester! too funny! XD

i'm so gonna keep this mental image in my backpocket for future need of a smile. ;-)

hope it does the same to you!

p.s. the half-eye mask is rad! and the cape. and the concert look! and the backless dress. okay, everything.

my.fave.stam.

i dunno why, but this is my favorite stam look (!). it's not ground-breaking by any means, or even that thought-out. but maybe that's precisely why i like it. i guess it's the feminine delicacy of her face juxtaposed with sneaker-jean-shirt tomboy combo. it's just unexpected, and that's how i like it. ;-)

us vogue (yes, really!). 

shot by leibovitz. styled by coddington.

 modeled by cole, garfield, & ms. gaga. 

i love the strange vision for the retelling of hansel & gretel. and lady gaga as the cannibalistic witch is inspired. leibovitz, for me, is in her best form when she captures fairy tale retellings (see vodianova in alice in wonderland).

it's strange, funny, weird, and at the same time so familiar and intimate.

natalia vodianova through the eyes of mario testino usually ends up looking flawless. her form, his vision, the bouffant layers, the romanticism of the backdrop with an undertone of elegant messiness (if there's such a thing!).

this editorial never gets old for me. there's so much opportunity here. every time i see this, my heart melts just a little. you just wanna fall in love. :-)

the hair. the lighting. the fur (faux, i hope). daria.

Even the smallest faint of light shines ever so brightly in the darkness.
