Hip Hair - Zooey Deschanel March 31, 2009

can we all just agree that zooey deschanel is amazing?

somehow, she grew up and developed a very human realness, despite the fact that she is the child of “industry” parents (she is the daughter of Academy Award-nominated cinematographer and director Caleb Deschanel and actress Mary Jo (Weir) Deschanel.) good job, mommy and daddy deschanel! thanks for managing to raise a girl in La-La Land and somehow turning out a wonderful woman of substance instead of yet another plastic surgery addict.

above, nine looks - all different, all zooey.

enjoy!

Hip Hair - the many ‘dos of Johnny Depp March 26, 2009

johnny depp is a chameleon.

if you doubt the truth of that statement, all you need to do is watch Pirates of the Carribean and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory back-to-back to see how changeable depp is.

so i assumed he’d be an easy subject for a hair post. after all, he’s had a variety of looks. what a mistake! depp has had so many transformations - from length to facial hair to highlights to hats - that he was an impossible subject to narrow to nine pictures. so i cheated. above - 12 photos that fall into four general categories:

top row - length:
depp super shorn
with shorter than short hair
with long hair

second row - facial hair:
depp clean shaven
with a stubbly beard
the outer limits of depp facial hair

third row - color:
with spiky red hair
blonde highlights
dark brown

bottom row - hats!:
with one of his fave fedoras
another fave of depps
with another version of the depp fedora

ciao!

“vintage finds” monday - vintage “wow!” March 23, 2009

(visit the links below to see detailed pics of each item.)

what is vintage “wow”?

a supreme court justice was once asked to define “pornography.” he answered (and i paraphrase…) “i can’t define it, but i know it when i see it.”

well, the same answer would suit the definition of vintage WOW. you know it when you see it. and to see it, you need look no further than the array above, n’est-ce pas?

ciao,
julie
