On a saturday afternoon in 1968, Robert Kennedy’s body, like President Lincoln’s 103 years before, was carried by a funeral train from New York to Washington.
Photographer Paul Fusco was aboard the train shooting photographs. Thousands upon thousands of mourners from all walks of life lined the tracks to pay their respects.
My sister’s got talent!

I am eternally inspired by fashions of the past! When I created this silver wedding gown for a Nov 2011 beach wedding (left), it really felt so classically old Hollywood- then I came across this wonderful portrait that I had saved some time back… I guess it’s clear that inspirations do seep into my head and pop up again later even when I don’t realize it directly!

When Mike Schropp set out to create a new computer, he just wanted something faster than his previous machine. On further thought, he decided to alter his plans slightly to donate his computer’s off hours to helping cure some of the world’s crappiest diseases. As a self-professed geek, Schropp felt that the best way to give his new machine a unique feel was to turn to the building power of Lego. The result is a thing of beauty that would be a fitting addition to any nerd arsenal. (via This Geek Uses his Lego Computer to Fight Cancer)

My copy of GIRL by Blake Nelson from 1994, with pages all worn & the inside cover signed by every girl in the 8th/9th grade who I forced to read it. Easily the most formative book of my life, and a perfect example of everything I love about coming-of-age fiction (Paranoid Park is another fantastic read by him of this genre).
I’m pretty excited to get my hands on GIRL’s college-age sequel, Dream School, which released just this week. For more on that, check out the interview with Blake Nelson in Rookie.
