Attitude icon and former Canadian prime minister Pierre Elliot Trudeau. In three words, “just watch me.”

Happy new karma for keeps, peeps -

  • Spoonful of Justice - these kids mashed up my paper dolls to create cutlery themed superheroes. This made me smile! I love seeing people use paper dolls as they were meant to be used – for playing with.
  • Men’s Flair – Winston Chesterfield makes “A Case for Fashion Illustration”.
  • Travel Write Draw – I adore discovering that my blog archives are inspiring to other fashion illustrators, and that sharing my experiences is helping others overcome their own post-grad anxiety.
  • Wendy Ding - it’s amazing to me to see someone not only take inspiration from my blog, but take action. Well done on a banner year, Wendy!
  • Love At First Blush – Sabrina was top of the class at my fashion school, I love seeing what she’s working on now.
  • the stairs magazine - “a collage of words, looks, quirks and pics”
  • Styled Silhouettes - “Don’t say a word, let your clothes do the talking!”
  • Fits & Starts Vintage - “repeated bursts of activity”

Welcome to click click, the sporadic review of what I find worth clicking on the internet.

I love these photographs of teddy girls by Ken Russell. I particularly enjoy the duality of these two photos – a vivacious girl in a quartet of girls, and then again surrounded by Teddy Boys, in a scene of bomb wreckage. BONUS: teddy boys grow up.

Karma kisses under the mistletoe for all my teds -

  • the dexterous diva – Jo throws me a few questions about being creative and calls out for more – why not tell Jo about your schtick?
  • Thinking In Shapes“I post about vintage-inspired style and clothing construction.”
  • Rebecca Howden“Books, gender, fashion, culture, life”
  • f514 – this is a wonderful fashion blog by a Montreal makeup artist, I adore her enthusiasm, honesty and ambition.

While Occupy was occupying the media, I joked on Twitter that I was anticipating a “police state chic” Meisel editorial for Vogue Italia. Then I found out it happened five years ago. Hat Tip to The Grumpy Owl.

karma kickbacks to internet kindred…

  • FashionSchools – a recent interview I did on the subject of finding your role in fashion.
  • Joanne Faith“More than being ‘just a fashion blog’, she also loves to talk blogging, Auckland, and living a beautiful life.”

These lovely scans are from the JEAN SHRIMPTON tumblr, featuring the 1960s fashion model with that silent, sensual quality, elfin features and exquisite profile. The Shrimp is the spitting image of modern beauty – read some interesting comments on that subject here.

Welcome to click click, the sporadic review of what I find worth clicking on the internet.

Fellow Canadian-girl and model-gazer Lynsie Roberts took photographs of London Fashion Week in September, pretty virtual postcards that remind me of one of my favourite-ever fashion weeks to date.

  • Inner City Youth, London - (heads up, music autoplays) a compelling photo-essay about the lives of disaffected youth in London housing projects – the same kids who participated in the riots. Their clothing and music – Grime – is heavily American-influenced, but with a London inflection. HT The Grumpy Owl.
  • The Movie Set That Ate Itself – reality is stranger than fiction is stranger than reality. I’m curious about anti-capitalist cultural backlashes. This example is so far-fetched.
  • When personnel get personal – Gucci designer Frida Giannini has been coy about revealing the man in her life for a while, and now we know why. Romantic/business partnerships in fashion aren’t that strange, but this is certainly a high-profile one.
  • Diving for McQueen – a really stellar video of a conversation between Sarah Burton and Cathy Horyn. Both design and media revelations are made – the essence is that what modern designers are missing is attention to craft, and what modern writers are missing is unique information.
  • A skinhead’s journey from racism to redemption and Reformed skinhead endures agony to remove tattoos. An interesting story about going from subculture to mainstream, and how critical the transformation of appearances can be.
  • Anatomy of a Listening Event – what it’s like hanging out with Jay-Z, listening to “Watch The Throne”.
  • Vreeland: “I see this in lettuce.” Burrows: “Done!” – nice recap of the life and work of New York designer Stephen Burrows. This blog – On This Day In Fashion – is currently on hiatus, but the archives are well worth a browse.

Karmalinks for shared affinities -

  • Doll from the Attic“The Attic isn’t just where we left yesterday, it’s where we’ve relished in the company of a dream or two.”
  • Charlotte’s Notes“Professional Illustrator and Artist based in Surrey, England.”
  • Nextness“Your one stop shop for what’s now and what’s next.”

These photos by Mike Brodie “Polaroid Kidd” capture the lives – and looks – of modern migrants.

Karma for your mama -

  • Vitamin Daily – asked me to share some of my London-on-a-pint-budget tips.
  • Flare.com – features Canadian fashion bloggers wearing our favourite Canadian clobber. I chose Butikofer.
  • Another Garcon – my Paris fashion week friend, Jonathan, observed me sketching outside Balmain.
  • Top Fashion Style – dubs one of my tweets the top of the week.
  • Urban Updater“I just love to shop and love to share my fashion thoughts and ideas with you!”
  • MIGDALIA“My dolls can stand alone, their attitude allows them to be without support, without a man.”
  • Girls Are Made From Pepsi“Ummm…what it says on the tin.”

I was asked to render, in cosmetics, someone I consider a beauty icon. I chose Amelia Earhart. Thanks Sarah Nicole Prickett for an ace assignment. She’s doing cool and unusual things at the new Toronto Standard site – also check out Who’s Afraid of Kanye West, and the Uniform Project.
