Windowlicker (Special Summer Edition)

You have to let me know your thoughts on this one because I actually want it pretty badly (I think): Is this the exquisitely eccentric, "Baroness Elsa" objet I've been craving, or... not? PS The irony of my ambivalence is not lost on me! Please share your opinion in the comments.

PPS Also, a soigne, environmentally sound tip I've been meaning to share: blackle.com. Plus: Jenny Holzer's Twitter Feed (love her!).

And: Brittany Murphy models The Baroness "look" in "The Pilgrimage Issue" of the New York Times Magazine "Fashion of the Times" issue, Fall 2002.

Windowlicker - from the French for window shopping: faire du lèche-vitrine - appears on Tuesday and Thursdays at 10am EST. Note: regular posting at LuxLotus.com resumes after Labor Day.

I like the belt. It reminds me of the Alethiometer in His Dark Materials. Or it's like a utility belt, but say, beautility belt.

I had to look that one up, but gah! how brilliant. This is why I so endlessly adore Lux Lotus readers. Thank you for your comment, John! XX, LC

I was wondering if you had ANY suggestion on where I could look to get a custom made hat like that in the first pic?

Or is that a scarf?

Hmmmm, that is an old-fashioned leather aviators cap with a peacock feather pinned to it... try Ebay for the hat, any costume/craft store for the feather. And of course, send me a photo! XX, LC
