One of my style icons is Anais Nin. Everything about her exudes elegance.

Fabulous blog My Love is a Stampede of Horses just tipped me off to Jim Skull. The images of his work really piqued my interest, the pieces with tea bags especially. Tea bags have a certain quality of being comfortably stained yet also convey an edge of decay.

Skulls have always been around, but I will never cease to be fascinated by them. Is it the Mexican in me?
