My latest obsession is the birthday gift(thanks Sargamo) of a rare Rudi Gernreich Book. Such an amazing visionary and the perfect fusion of spiritual and futurism-mod.

2011-07-18T14:36:00.000-07:00

Am I willing to give up what I have in order to be what I am not yet? Am I able to follow the spirit of love into the desert? It is a frightening and sacred moment. There is no return. One's life is charged forever. It is the fire that gives us our shape.

I live my life in growing orbits
which move out over the things of the world.
Perhaps I can never achieve the last,
but that will be my attempt.

I am circling aroung God, around the ancient tower,
and I have been circling for a thousand years,
and I still don't know if I am a falcon, or a storm,
or a great song.

leave it to the italians to tell it like it is. and with my new favorite flagship of gray-is-beautiful mentor to boot(okay..i guess i will finally just let that almost-stampede on my life at the milan airport go for now) i am really feeling this issue. i've always felt that it's up to the rich and powerful artists and fashionistas to save us from the reign of terror and destruction of our planet. it's their rightful and royal duty after all.
