me and you, and you and me

there's a new spread in vogue hailing the reunion of amber valletta and shalom harlow- "together for the first time in almost a decade"!!... it's pretty and all but i undoubtedly prefer their 90's hey day images like the ones above (holy crapballs look how young kate moss was!)... does anyone else remember when they took over hosting mtv's house of style?! i thought they were sooooo cool but also soooo boring! ha! and omg anyone else remember todd oldham's do it yourself segments?!? weren't they called "todd time"?!

the chateau

when i was a kid, my siblings, cousins and i would create a "sand city" when we would vacation at our family cottage in the summer. each of us would use our favorite matchbox cars, rocks, sand, cement blocks and pieces of wood to make our own little mini metropolis. massive planning went into creating each aspect of town. and we all tried to outdo each others mansions with moss outlined go-kart tracks, dirt hole swimming pools, and pebbled helicopter pads. but there was a dark side to sand city. a dangerous, anything goes place far away on the other side of town from our elegant pristinely kept sprawls. a place where banged up, fire-blackened police cars (courtesy of flasher fireworks) lined the streets and shadowy white trash hooligans roamed free. the place was "chateau" and apparently barneys new york found some of our skeleton cars of yesteryear for their latest spring shoe catalog.
