juxtaposition 20.09.11: nueva wave

Today's juxtaposition is one of composition, texture, and tone. I don't have a story about anyone in these photos, because when I shot them, concurrently, again within a few minutes, I was with Sabine - after the Mark Fast show - in the kind of 'back stage' outside area. There was a whole frenzy of photo activity going on, and I don't remember if the girl in the top shot is a model, or simply a very beautiful girl. Or even, her name.

The bottom shot: I was behind these two who were posing for someone else. I didn't see their faces but they had the body language of beautiful girls, perhaps models. I loved the way one was apparently hiding the face that she was smoking from the photographer. I know that my mom will be pissed off at me for, once again, 'condoning smoking' but I"m really not. And mom, you'll be glad to know: I saw a lot less of it, this time, than at my first fashion week. I wonder if it is finally getting through people's heads: smoking is a really stupid habit, and it's easier than you'd think, to simply quit.

Oh speaking of waves: I've noticed a lot more of it, in hair, and in an hour, we're leaving for brunch at Aqua Nueva! It's my husband's birthday - the husband formerly known as Mr. Dot (he really hates that, 'the joke's wearing a bit thin, Jill'), and I loved their sister restaurant, Aqua Kyoto so much, that they've asked me to come as their guest and do a review!! Beyond Japanese culture and cuisine, Spain is one of my favourites.

Hope everyone's having a lovely weekend, que la gente encantadora! xoxo
