it's all happening

saturday morning clicking around the tv yielded one of my favorite movies -- almost famous. the combo of the acting and the music backing it up twists me up into a ball of emotion.  i did have a moment in time where i was a bit connected to a band - that might be part of it... but it's also so honest and raw - it hits a beautiful nerve in me.   OBVS i love the clothes...  knee high boots and minis - and this coat - oh this coat...  i am a sucker for the 70's rock and roll clothing. 

watching it this morning something struck me  -- the quote that rock and roll was dead, and was turning into an "industry of cool".  which it did, and is.  i think the same holds true of fashion -- the fashion shows, the whole exclusive echelon of who is who and wearing whom...  often it's not even about the clothing...  i don't care about who sat in the front row.  i don't care who went to the after party.  i care about the beautiful things that some of these people are making. 

kate moss is a real fashion icon for the very reason that she's a bit of a mess sometimes, and she wears whatever the hell she feels and it's phenomenal.   Penny Lane puts fashion in its place too - saying "when we go to Morocco we should wear completely different clothes and become completely different people".

keep it fun - keep it real - keep it honest - do it with all your stars out.  it's all happening.
