Space Suit Couture

From Thom Browne's Spring 2011 collection...




















































I really like the individual dressing stations: just a hanger and a shelf.

















Bam! Shark print velvet shorts-suit! Glitter lips! Not in our world at all, but dang, space suits are so handy for reveals.

The Memory Doctor

Just came across this series in Slate about Dr. Elizabeth Loftus, a scientist who studies and experiments with memory. She was instrumental in debunking 'recovered memories' of abuse in the 90s and ironically she has now been experimenting with how to implant positive false memories in patients to promote better eating habits.

Really fascinating -- and there is something strange about the way it is written that I can't put my finger on. Somehow it makes her sound like a fictional character.

Maybe that's why I was so strongly reminded of the psychiatrist in "Lathe of Heaven" -- and the mysterious 'doctor' character that Marc kind of played early on in UV (now that I think about it, maybe the doctor should come back as a stronger character in round two).
