Prehistoric carnage + dog whispering

Isaac and I were walking along the bike path by the tracks this afternoon.  I was teaching the dog to be in a "follower state"* while simultaneously trying to spot beauty in the wreckage of quasi-industrial and supremely ugly Sterling Road.  Like this:

Anyway, suddenly, I looked up and noticed this disturbing scene:

It seems the one in the dumpster was shot in the forehead.  Very unsettling.  And here is Isaac being alert:

*After a total of two sessions walking off-leash down this horrifying bike path, Isaac is now 100% in a follower state off-leash (i.e. walking nicely behind me, never in front, never helter-skelter).  Miracle.  The trick was using a stick to block him and making the "shh" sound, you know - the Dog Whisperer sound.

Manhattan designer Michelle Adams (founder of Rubie Green) has this marvellously cheery line of upholstery fabric.  I spotted "Ann" in a copy of Vogue Living Australia this afternoon.  Fell in love.

Fashion Week: Paris the demure

There's Paris the she-wolf, and then there's the other Paris. (Lanvin is both and therefore quintessentially Parisian.)

It would take the likes of William Weaver to properly translate these ultra-simple stanzas.  L'Hiver Québécois by Jim Corcoran & Bertrand Gosselin:

J’ai envie d’sortir à soir, c’est l’hiver

J’veux voir tomber tous les flocons de neige

J’ai besoin d’entendre chanter le ruisseau

Sentir le froid pénétrer dans ma peau

Na-na-na-na-na-na

J’arrive du Mexique

Y’a fait chaud là bas

Na-na-na-na-na-na

Maintenant j’veux goûter l’hiver Québécois

J’mets manteau d’fourrure, foulard et mitaines

J’men vais dehors jouer avec mes deux chiens

On va courir et lancer (dancer?) en forêt

On va r’venir ben gelés mais satisfaits

Na-na-na-na-na-na

J’arrive du Mexique

Y’a fait chaud là bas

Na-na-na-na-na-na

Maintenant j’veux goûter l’hiver Québécois

Maintenant j’veux goûter l’hiver Québécois

Maintenant j’veux goûter l’hiver Québécois

Fashion Week: Paris the savage

If Milan was cheery and full of exuberant and sophisticated colour, Paris is dark and pagan, a wild beast in the night.
