CUCKOO FOR COCO

QUBUS DESIGN IS AMAZING/BATSHIT CRAZY

so my boyfriend officially thinks im nuts because of my obsession with qubus designs porcelain animals and generally everything they have ever produced. i own the black squirrel porcelain bank-

the most beautiful creature in boston.

so i am thoroughly enamored with anthropomorphic idols and creatures and items. this particular lenin head is from 2005 and quite expensive by most standards ($1000+) but completely worth it because i would then have this porcelain lenin head onion pattern to talk to and write valentines to and love. even if i never own it i will adore it and think of it often. it reminds me of when my power went out and i had to bring my two parakeets to work so they would not freeze to death. my assistant was terrified of birds and avoided the art room all day. so it goes.

lenin my love. 

i hate onions.

A COCO A DAY

typically i take a photo each day of the outfit i wear to work. i am aware a million others do as well but this isnt their blog its mine so even though i instagram it (cocotalon, #acocoaday) i am going to give everyone here a glimpse as well as information and the ability to ask questions. woo hoo! i am also going to back track a bit so lets look at some of my great and not so great working girl ensembles. i wont bore you with opinions but will give designers.

FAREWELL MY DARLINGS.

as everyone already knows because its headline news and so many parties have already been thrown and tears been shed, my roommates/best friends are moving to london this evening. i will miss kate and david more than they probably know but it is inevitable there will be many visits going both ways across the pond. here are just a few of my favorite kate and david and slum castle moments. le sigh.

i think the pictures speak for themselves. loveliness. and davids creepy hand!

gorgeous kate.

love

im bad they are good.

best. ever.

over dressed is the only way to be.

               

one of the places we looked at before deciding on slum castle.

the biggest best liz taylor hair EVER.

a very handsome david and greg.

and this is how i always want to remember us.

thank you.
