on my muses: Madonna

have i discussed my madonna worship on the blog? yup..that's right. just love her. i have always pictured the divine one marching around S+M style with her minions staring up at her waiting for the approval that will never come, and her just staring back saying, "it's just not good enough! get it out of my sight!" and this week, of all the weeks in the year, i truly need to summon my inner madonna, in order to keep my head clear of all the chazzerrai that can get in the way. right now, it is so important, while i finish up all the decision making for the collection, i do not get sidetracked by the "maybes" and the "almosts" and the "sortofs". the final collection must only be about perfection..everything else goes away! and that's final.

on my muses: miss peggy guggenheim

when i am in the process of a design frenzy, as we are currently at the studio, i tend to cling to my many muses, one of whom is most certainly Peggy Guggenheim.
she really knew how to go over the top, (please.. those glasses?) and never give a damn what the other dames thought of her antics. we could all use a dose of peggy g when we need to steel ourselves for the deluge to come.
her wee palazzo in venezia..magnifico. and below this marino marini horse and rider (you can bet your bottom dollar peggy got a deal on that one!)
