Did anyone else notice..

how the February VOGUE was weeks late to hit the stands? It was quite an unusual circumstance for Our Lady Wintour, who has been a meticulous magazine machine for the last few decades. In its absence, I created this image to get some answers.

It was, of course, not necessary to commit to further protest because Wintour came through and the 2/2011 VOGUE with cover girl Kristen Stewart (in Proenza Schouler chartreuse- accented blouse) was soon inhabiting magazine racks everywhere.

After Thomas Jefferson

As a recent graduate of 'the University', I feel it necessary to share with the world a sartorial quote by Thomas Jefferson:

"From the moment you rise till you go to bed, be as cleanly and properly dressed as at the hours of dinner or tea."

And also, an inspiring artist's rendition of TJ looking extra stylish:

Best,

Derek.

We had a photo shoot.

It's no big deal. The styling was a group effort: Meg Smilowitz, Kyle Kapaun, and Myself. Photography: Meg Smilowitz. All clothes are American Apparel.

Family tree!

I recently inhereted my father's computer and found some images that were stored on the hard drive. He is very much interested in making the most comprehensive family tree that he can via scrap booking.

It's actually all really amazing and he has some very beautiful photographs of my distant relatives from when they arrived in the United States from Ukraine. As well as a photograph of my mother's extended family, whom all live in Panama City, Panama. Other than that I can't tell you the details about most of the photographs or when my family made it over to the United States because I don't really know. But I'd like to share the photographs that I have found.
