Out yonder

Here begins a new blog series, let's see if I can keep this up?  Photos of our clothes in all kinds of different settings. Shotgunning beers, doing yoga, river dancing at bar mitzvahs, you know all the usual life in the fast lane stuff.

First up our lovely muse Sarita took our Jenny dress to rock around the streets of Paris. Is rock even the right word? She is quite a creature, that's for sure.  There are only a few of these left, get one to live out the dog days of summer.

July Madness

July and August are busy times over here at Curator. I'm taking in a lot of sights and sounds on my work days. Here are some pics I snapped along my travels this week.

The Ikea bag i'm schlepping everywhere was way too happy to ignore.  I just snagged a Goodbyn Lunchbox for my son & a Bandit Bla Bla. Both of these goodies are now carried in store, such radical gifts for kids. The lunchbox comes with stickers you can decorate, and even has a sticker that say's "I'm allergic to ___". This sticker has a special place in my heart.

Next up the factory floor. One of the sewing ladies had the cutest apron on. I loved her style. She used to sew a lot in Hong Kong and this was one of her designs. Later I could see she was giving me the don't steal this idea eye. A pretty smart lady. ;-).

Next up T-shirts!

Here's a sneak peak of a Dolly Parton Tshirt we have in production. We were not joking about the 9 to 5 inspiration. Printed by the prolific folks over at Ape Do Good and designed by the one and only Adele Mildred. Lonnie and Burt will be keeping her company.

Lastly an upclose of Stacy's T-shirt - I love this for so many reasons! Classic. It's one of the code words we have going around my house....

Pastel Memories

Be still my middle school heart. This image made my hair stand on end.  Like the good old days. So much emotion and hairspray surrounding this pretty pink machine. I can still feel the mania to press record when a JAM came on KMEL that I did not have recorded!  It's on my daybed while I try to lay down, do my algebra homework and dream about dorky boys. I'm very certain more than one person was punched over it.  The volume so easily rolled down to tell secrets.

snappies

Here are a few images I snapped over the last week. School is out for a couple of weeks, so my three old Julian is ruling the roost! I'm beginning to understand my mother's face when we skipped home on the last day of school. Three very long months. Oy vey.

One day: Julian figures out how to scale island to access the food cabinet. He finds the gummy bears (vitamins, how can this be?) and chocolate bear kid laxatives. :-/. Proves to be an interesting day. Did I mention it was raining and I had a 9 month old in hand?

Another Day

We decide to go to Happy Hollow with Julian's bestie. All was pretty happy until it was time to leave.

I snapped the below picture in the middle of an epic tantrum. I wanted to fly away...

Yet Another Day

Dad's Turn.  Dad hooked up with a friend who has a small plane and they took an adventure to Half Moon Bay to eat lunch. I was told nothing I could come up with could top this day!

Over and out!

Meet Your Maker

Don't you ever just wish you could make shoes? I most certainly do. A good pair of shoes can really change things up. See these shoes for instance,  these shoes are inspiring me to wear calf length black skirts! I had no idea how deliciously comfortable this state of being is.  Leggings as pants with oversized asymmetrical t-shirts is my everyday kid uniform.

I do have a shoe inspiration thing. So recently when our model Rachel came in wearing these beauties, I swooned and wanted more details. Turns out she makes these bad rides. It's not every day you meet a shoemaker. Her version of the sandal below has "mohawks" (the leather jutts out ever so sweetly in back.) Really cutely punk.

Then she tells me that she's hosting a workshop at Gravel and Gold on the 26th to teach other potential shoebies how to make their own sandals. How generous of her! I hear there are only a couple spots left.

Lastly I really want these funnel neck boots. They are taunting me on etsy in size 6. I can only dream of what kind of awesome elfin outfits they would spawn.

Alrighty I believe that's enough nonsense for one day? Happy Friday.

Artifacts of Living

Thanks to everyone that made it out to our artshow this past friday. The photographs look amazing and are priced to sell ($40). So if you get a chance, come by and check out the new work.

The SF Guardian gave the show a little shout out:

“Artifacts of Living” photo show at Curator, 1767 Church, SF; (415) 970-9828: Artifacts of Living. 6-9pm, free. Check out the collection of photos taken with a 1960s Olympus Pen Camera by local photographer Andrew Martin Scott. His photography is contemporary, yet his photos have a vintage quality looking as though they were taken decades ago. Not so, and no iPhone Hipstamatic or any other make-my-photo-look-old-and-cool apps were used either. Get nostalgic for the good ol’ days with images of decaying signs, rusty old cars, antique bikes, and an assortment of old barns, pawn shops, laundromats, liquor stores, barber shops and coffee joints. And it wouldn’t be a proper art opening without booze, so no need to B.Y.O. since the smart folks at Curator have that covered.
