Kris Atomic Magazine Collages

I love me a bit of Pinterest as much as anyone (you can follow my boards here, yo) but I came across these old scrapbooks of mine and got a bit nostalgic for some actual cutting and pasting. Hard to date these now, but I would guess they’re from at least three years ago based on the last time I can remember sticking stuff in. I’d go through all my magazines and tear out images I liked every few months, then faff about arranging them moodboard-style in these A3 sketchbooks. Nowadays I read (far, far fewer) magazines on my ipad and do most of my collecting on Pinterest or in Dropmark without even touching a piece of paper or pair of scissors in the process. Technology!

You Deserve the Best of Everything!

Tuesday, October 23rd, 2012

I haven’t done a movie screencap post for ages!  This is The Best of Everything, the 1959 Hollywood adaptation of the excellent 1958 novel of the same name by Rona Jaffe (you might remember it from Mad Men). The movie is visually wonderful, but imo dramatically soulless, so I would recommend giving it a read instead. Depressingly, it recently got itself a bit of a reputation for being “the original Sex and The City”, but don’t let that put you off…
