    New Orleans, part 2 

    out the window 01out the window 05

    Here are a few more New Orleans pictures. There is a cable car system running through the city, and you can take it anywhere for $1.25. It’s almost like a tour in itself, since it goes through some really beautiful parts of the garden district. All of these pictures were taken from the window of the cable car (in motion.)

    I think everyone has a favorite type of sight-seeing when they are traveling – some people go places for the food, some for the history, some for the nature; mine is definitely the architecture.

    Fashion week unfortunately has about as much impact on my life as a Canadian holiday 

    Perhaps you’ve already seen this, but just in case, Marc Jacobs Spring 2010.

    Honestly, I am not sure what is going on with about 90% of those outfits. I feel like the underwear-on-top-of-the-clothes look has been attempted a number of times before, and we can be fairly sure by now, it’s never going to look good. I do want to point out that, having purchased a fanny pack in the last year, I was clearly way ahead of the game on that trend!

    Here’s one I like: Donna Karan. I suppose it means she is bit tame, but I would wear every single outfit in this show.

    Finally, check out the first picture, here. Is it just me, or is there a trend towards giant, multi-colored feathered puffball clothing? And if so, why?

      Ok, I agree with everything – Marc Jacobs (and I’ve said this before) – what is going on. i mean, seriously man. stop taking drugs, thats my only advice. Also, I’ve see this big bird trend before too and i have to say – scary. And I also agree with Donna Karan love. I like just about everything and I don’t think this means that she’s tame. It only means that she appreciates the same things that we do. Pretty, elegant, simple.

      Yes, the fashions are pretty outrageous as always, but the New York Times webpages are nice! I just want the webpage design, forget the fashions.
