WHEN I GROW UP

IT SEEMS THAT I AM ALWAYS IN SOME SORT OF CAREER TRANSITION THESE DAYS, WHICH IN EFFECT I SUPPOSE MEANS I'M NOT ENTIRELY SURE WHAT MAKES SENSE FOR ME AT THIS POINT. OR MAYBE I AM JUST FIGHTING THE TRUTH!! I SORT OF THINK THAT THIS IS WHAT I AM MEANT TO DO WITH MY LIFE. NOT SO MUCH THE LOOKING EXHAUSTED AND OUT OF IT PART, BUT THE FEATHER HEADRESS PART. I MEAN, I'VE BEEN SAYING FOR AWHILE NOW THAT MAUBE I SHOULD JUST LOOK IN MY CLOSET AND SEE WHAT CAREER I ALREADY HAVE THE WARDROBE FOR. THAT'S BOTH PRACTICAL AND ENLIGHTENING! AND GUESS WHAT!? LOUNGE PERFORMER IT IS!!

BATHTIME

I THINK THESE PHOTOS OF COCO ROCHA FROM NUMERO IN JUNE 2008 ARE WORTH REVISTING. BEAUTIFUL!!! THEY'RE DONE BY SOFIA SANCHEZ AND MAURO MONGIELLO OF COURSE. BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY FLOWERS! I LOVE THE ONE WHERE SHE'S IN GREEN. SHE LOOKS LIKE A LILY PAD, DON'T YOU THINK? NEXT TIME I TAKE A BATH MAYBE I'LL DO IT LIKE THIS - DESIGNER CLOTHES, RED LIPSTICK, FLOWER PETALS, AND A CAMERA. NOT AS PRACTICAL AS A SHOWER, BUT OH SO MUCH MORE FUN!

SOME MORE SOFIA SANCHEZ & MAURO MONGIELLO BECAUSE IT'S THAT KIND OF DAY

LOOK AT THESE BEAUTIFUL PICTURES. WHY AM I SUCH A SUCKER FOR THIS KIND OF OVER THE TOP RIDICULOUSNESS? I'LL SPEAK FOR MYSELF WHEN I SAY THAT I HATE THE ART OF SUBTLETY. WHO NEEDS IT? WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS IS CANDY-COLORED WIGS, AND GIGANTIC FLOWER HEADPIECES, AND PIRATE HATS. PHOTOS BY SOFIA SANCHEZ & MAURO MONGIELLO FOR THIS MONTH'S NUMERO.

SPEAKING OF COUTURE...
