What a guy!

I went to the KCRW studios today and saw this great portrait of David Lynch. He was a guest on Morning Becomes Eclectic there recently and he sounded far more normal than one might have guessed. He also sounded as completely wonderful as you'd have hoped too.

By far the most magical, totally terrifying and hauntingly beautiful show (ever) is Twin Peaks. I watched a few episodes recently and its strangeness stands the test of time, still sending chills down my spine.

God Save The Queen

Coming soon to a retail space near me! So very English and yet so perfect for LA, she'll be right at home just like the rest of us.

Some Family History

Earlier today my Father sent me some pages of our family tree. I had been told about John Emary, a Mayfair tailor who established the British brand Aquascutum in 1851 and who by all accounts invented the trench coat. Greta Garbo wore them and she knew a thing or two about style.

Looking through the pages this afternoon I worked out John Emary was my Great-great-great-Grandfather. Perhaps that's why I've always had a thing for the trench coat.
