Aftermath

The shop was broken into last night, around 2 am. A heavy iron pipe to the door window. Neighbours heard it, thought a car had crashed.
They got in, took almost everything from the glass cabinet, tried on some leather coats and shoes and left with what they wanted.
This damage breaks not only my finances, but my spirit as well.

A Fabulous Find - Helmut Newton Portraits

I found a book of Helmut Newton portrait photography at the St. Lawrence Antique Market this afternoon. I had a poster of his when I was a young woman, the first picture I ever framed for my own walls. I look at his images with different eyes now that I'm (just a little) older, I love their direct sexiness. I don't care that he objectified the women in the photographs, and I don't think they cared either.
