sales and such


ok...i usually reserve sales & secret exclusives for my mailing list customers (because i love you all so much and you deserve it), but i decided to throw a last minute "Cyber Monday" sale, even if i hate the term itself, or any term using the word "cyber".  but enough ranting....select items are on sale for TODAY only in our Every Little Counts etsy shop and the Dreams Never End vintage shop. If you are looking for any special deals on the official Every Little Counts website, including the entire autumn/ winter collection, you will have to sign up for our mailing list...it's the only way;) OR become an adoring fan on Facebook. 

p.s..i hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving weekend. adam & i escaped the city and ran up to connecticut and massachusetts to visit with our families. we ate lots of great vegetarian things, played with our 2 adorable nephews, read the paper, stayed off of the computer (for the most part), and tried to relax until we had to get back in the car and drive ourselves back to brooklyn. i really could have really used a longer break. oh well.

My First Crush



it's not even 9am, but this morning has been a morning full of love. i stumbled upon this video by julia pott on efforescence, which put a smile on my grumpy, groggy face and has now become my new favorite thing. but there's more! before i saw this little video,  i thought this was my new favorite thing, and then this (via ducks like tea.)  i don't know about you, but crushing was one of my favorite past times...daydreams, letters, poetry, story writing. it is all now horrifically embarrassing but at the time it was so...serious.

gigi gaston: the black flower


 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 adam & i finally trekked over to chelsea this past weekend to see "Josh Gosfield: Gigi Gaston, the Black Flower." seeing this show has been on my to-do list since i heard about it the beginning of last month.

"Josh Gosfield has assembled the definitive archive devoted to the 1960s French pop star Gigi Gaston. Gigi’s music and the spectacle of her tragic life riveted the public through the 60s and 70s. The exhibition documents her life and loves with archival photographs, posters, record covers, magazine and newspaper articles, a music video shot by Jean- Luc Godard, documentary footage, and assorted ephemera. We see her Gypsy family’s escape from Bulgaria, her affair with her stepbrother, her first guitar, her rise up (and fall down) the charts,  the car crashes, funerals, love triangles and the murder trial. All this played out in a garish media spotlight before the insatiable eyes of her public."

 walking through the gallery, you become fully immersed in this ephemera and you begin to wonder why you have never heard of her, and then it all becomes clear- it's all fiction! but that video really did look like a Godard piece. this entire life that you just became consumed by was a creation. it was all an elaborate scheme directed by Josh Gosfield with the help of actors, stylists,  make up artists, and photoshop. genius.

you have 2 more days to see this exhibit before it closes.
