Do you ever meet someone and think “oh, they are going to be famous.” Scout Zabinski is one of those people. Her symbolically accessorized, nude self-portraits manage to bring something genuinely new to self-objectification as a healing–even feminist–statement. Don’t blink, this woman is going places.

every time i post about something pertaining to a celebrity it feels so much like a punisher moment (phoebe bridgers ref 😕), because i’m like hey! idfk who you are but i painted you! wow! but it’s also that i just deeply appreciate a persons work, and think hey this is pretty cool i should share it! everything is a moral dilemma. anyway, enough ramblings, this is a portrait loosely centered around the image of sophie thatcher that i posted, which sparked this current train of thought.

like i said in my other post i don’t know many photographers, but she is another one that comes to mind. sometimes they all fit a theme or tell a story. i think a common misconception of various visual art forms is that portraying the “mundane” = not art/boring/nothing special etc and i think the popularity of her instagram page shows how artfully she is able to capture something as ”simple” as strangers on their commute and turn them into something so engaging

She’sa photographer named Sinziana Velicescu. I first saw her about nine years ago on tumblr and have followed her since. she captures the feeling of Southern California in a unique and true-to-life way. And her work has a sense of humor to it that gives it warmth and life even though her compositions are precise.
Also for photography, check out The Heidies and Brooke Holm.

Do you want to feel EXPENSIVE for FREE? I have discovered so many new favorite songs from listening to the monthly Spotify playlists put out by The Row. I am so attuned to their cadence that I even like to think that I can tell when the unseen curator is going through it. If you, like me, can’t afford anything from The Row just consider these playlists oatmeal cashmere for the ears.

I found this book on the shelf of a small lake cabin my family used to stay in sometimes (smells like moth balls, canoe paddles as decor, bunk beds) and devoured it during our stay. This book is slow in the way that Green Card (1990) is slow. The tension builds to a romantic crescendo later in the book and you’re like oh my god!!! Nevil Shute was an Australian author better known for his nuclear apocalypse novel On the Beach that scared the shit out of me in middle school. I recommend A Town Like Alice to people as the best novel you’ve never heard of with the caveat that it was published in 1950 and has an unmistakably colonial perspective. Read it if you loved Atonement.
