J. Mole, Is That You?

Joanna Goddard of A Cup of Jo linked to a very beautiful and inspiring blog by an artist named M. Dash, who presents a project by two photographers Eamon Lane and Carlo Nicora, called A Thousand Portraits.  I clicked over and was surprised to find a picture of our dear friend J. Maizlish Mole--or was it?

He'd be the one on the left, if it's him...

Here's a picture of Mole with his band, Marseilles Figs:

What do you think?  I was pretty convinced that it was him, except that I've never known Mole to have that much hair and I don't think he'd wear those glasses.

It turns out that it's not Mole at all, but I think that the mystery fellow must certainly be an identical cousin.  What do you say, Maiz?

By the way, Mole's band, Marseilles Figs, has a new CD out, and it is fun and super-cool and old-fashioned and modern and wacky and lovely.  I think someone out there should use the songs in a movie soundtrack...

It is conveniently available on iTunes...

Two Photos

India's birthday present. Her name is "Mama." I said, "Sweetie, are you sure you don't want to name her Sophie or Isabelle or Zoe?" Nope. Mama it is.

I am duly flattered, and it must be said that the resemblance is uncanny.

The next picture is of the back wall of our house with a light fixture that I love. I think my style can best be described as "Cath Kidston meets Industrial Modern meets Swedish Country meets Anthropologie meets Jonathan Adler meets Living, etc. meets Country Living UK."

I'm sure you can tell all that from this picture...

1972

Another of my favorite blogs is Meet Me at Mike's. I check in daily for inspiration and simple delight. This photo falls into the second category. It made me smile, so I thought I'd share it here. It's from a series that Meet Me at Mike's is doing featuring photos from 1972, as found on flickr. I don't know much about flickr, but it's some kind of photo sharing website and the crafty blog people seem to love it.

Who is He?

I am supposedly related to this man, but who is he?

Guesses?

Happy Father's Day

Here are two of my favorite father pictures of CMR--one with the very tiny, very yellow (jaundice) Willa and one with a sleeping Baby Bea.

I have, however, made a declaration that since Father's Day falls on or near CMR's birthday every year, we will hereby celebrate Father's Day on the second Sunday in July.

Bad Picture of a Famous Person, 3

OK, so, technically this was taken by CMR, but I couldn't pass it up--Ian Ziering, star of Beverly Hills, 90210 and Dancing With the Stars, in all his fuzzy glory!!

I'm embarrassed to admit that I am curious about the 90210 spinoff. In my defense, I'll say that it is being written by Rob Thomas, creator of one of my all-time favorite shows Veronica Mars. If you haven't seen it, you should put it in your netflix queue. This means you, the procrastinating girl!
