Isn’t Winter Dark Enough?

2011-11-11T19:09:00.000-05:00

I am pretty much stuck on black but maybe for someone...

THE three fetching young women behind Anywho.dk,  one of Denmark’s first and largest fashion blogs, have combined a  minimalist Scandinavian aesthetic with a style blogger street-smart  mentality to produce a collection of outerwear they call Brics. “We want  people to think of it as a brick in their wardrobe,” said Stephanie  Gundelach, who with her partners, Elise Born and Ingrid Munch, designed  the line. The coats are roomy enough to layer over chunky knits, even a  leather jacket. In pastel hues of burnt orange, blue and yellow, they  will easily refresh an otherwise muted wardrobe. “We haven’t seen winter  garments that are that colorful,” Ms. Gundelach said, “so we thought it  would be cool to do it ourselves.” They’re worth the international  shipping, we say.

My Mentor, BARBIE

2011-10-09T20:55:00.002-04:00

Instead  of throwing Barbie a 35th birthday party, feminists have been dissing  the popular, petite plaything. Yet far from being a bad role model,  Barbie could be a modern girl's dream mentor. O.K., so she does have the  equivalent of a 16-inch waist. Over the years, I still learned some  very important life lessons from Barbie.

1. Family Is Fundamental:  Barbie's my age and, as the long-awaited only girl in a suburban clan  of boys, I was Mattel's dream customer. I had 68 Barbies who shared a  pink plastic convertible car and split-level condominium, along with 12  Little Kiddles and 28 Dawn dolls so tiny that instead of changing their  clothes I just switched their heads.
2. Many Girls Have the Same  Name: There were six Susans in my second grade class, which caused two  of them, on the first day of school, to run home crying. Not me -- I'd  spent my formative years with Talking Barbie, Tropical Barbie, Color  Magic Barbie, Twist 'n Turn Barbie, Living Barbie and three Malibu  Barbies, which taught me that individuality was determined not by your  name but by what special activities you did best.

 A Shortage of Men Won't Ruin the Party: Whether it was an elaborate  prom spread out on the pink carpet or a Barbie beach holiday (where I  locked myself in the bathroom and hurled them headfirst into the sink),  the guest list always read: red-headed Barbie, Malibu Barbie triplets,  cousin Francie, Scooter, Skipper, Casey, Christie, Julia, Stacey  (visiting from England), Midge, Dawn, Angie, Twiggy, Ken. I heard there  was a Ricky but I could never find him. I did steal my brother's G.I.  Joe. But since my father was a doctor, G.I. Joe became an Army surgeon  who returned from a long day at the base hospital screaming: "I just  saved nine people from fatal heart attacks and you expect me to go to a  party later? Don't you women know I'm exhausted?" Thus I realized, way  back then, that women have superior social etiquette and most important  galas do not require the attendance of guys.
Alternative  Lifestyles Are Acceptable: In a doll domain with 96 eligible females and  Ken, unusual pairings were common. Sometimes Skipper and Scooter slept  in the guest room shoe box with Casey. One night I found the Malibu  Barbie trio in my desk drawer on top of cousin Francie. It was O.K. by  me -- as long as they followed one rule: Everyone shares clothes. And  since afternoon teas and disco dances were hard to attend if you had a  child to look after, each Little Kiddle was assigned nine mothers, who  rotated child care responsibilities.
It's Cool to Have Many  Careers: At different stages, Barbie was a ballerina, torch singer,  equestrienne, majorette, stewardess, astronaut with pink space pants  outfit, nurse, doctor and fashion model, which paved the way for my  subsequent employment as receptionist, poet, secretary, paperback book  critic, waitress and part-time teacher.
You Can Have Love and  Work at the Same Time: Throughout Barbie's professional soul-searching,  Ken was a constant. He didn't question why she needed fulfillment  outside the home. When she want Malibu, he got tan, too. When she was  Guinevere, he was secure enough in his masculinity to ware a silver lame  tunic, footed pants and gold belt with his scabbard and sword.
 Dysfunction and Deformity Are a Part of Life: In a full day of playing  in a pink-flowered room, accidents were bound to happen. The pink  convertible kept crashing into the pink stereo and once I stashed Midge  in my Suzy Homemaker oven, but G.I. Joe rescued her right before  meltdown. Another time red-headed Barbie wound up with half her nose and  hair cut off, hanging from the pull chain of the light in my bedroom.  But burned, squashed or decapitated, they were still included in all  cookouts, coed classes or slumber parties.
War Is Hell: Despite  repeated warnings from my (red-headed) mother, many an after-school  social war was marked by attack from my brothers and their snake, spider  and battalions of little green Army men. We were always on alert  because any minute they could bomb us with water balloon grenades or  Lucky Charms. After each battle, it took days to get everything back in  working order and for calm to be restored.
All Homeless Must Be  Sheltered: When in need, emergency sleeping arrangements called for  boot-box extra bedrooms, filled with my mother's sanitary napkin cots  and high heels doubling as bunk beds. Room was always made for such  transients as my cousin Lisa's Chatty Cathy, my neighbor Jill's orange  and purple alien trolls (visiting from another planet), and several  dozen little green P.O.W.'s.
Monogamy Can Work:Marriage was  one of Barbie's greatest achievements. Once she and Ken tied the knot,  Barbie did not play around. O.K., Ken didn't have much competition,  although Barbie was once tempted by the romantic antics of G.I. Joe, who  could twist his arms and legs around in a complete circle. He had a  fling with Francie instead, and Barbie wound up back with dependable  Ken. When he got on her nerves -- she just tossed him under the bed.

The book:I love this blog.
sophie blackall

: Brooklyn, New York; Messages in bottles, smoke signals, letters written in the sand; the modern equivalents are the funny, sad, beautiful, hopeful, hopeless, poetic posts on Missed Connections websites. Every day hundreds of strangers reach out to other strangers on the strength of a glance, a smile or a blue hat. Their messages have the lifespan of a butterfly. I'm trying to pin a few of them down.

"I am trying to draw every person in New York. I will be drawing people everyday and posting as frequently as I can. It is possible that I will draw you without you knowing it. I draw in Subway stations and museums and restaurants and on street corners. I try not to be in the way when I am drawing or be too noticeable. Whenever I have a new batch of drawings I will post them on this blog."
