riggsjohnny: “Brett Anderson of SUEDE. Or London Suede, if you're in the U.S. and you let them dictate what you call the band. Ha. I'd introduced them onstage back when Bernard was still in the band, I'd seen them a handful of times. loved them. Bernard was gone and they'd gotten a young new guitarist and they visited WHFS where I was working. The band came down the hallway and I came out of the kitchen to welcome them, with wet hands because I'd just washed my hands but I couldn't find a towel. I shook hands with Brett and said ‘Great to see you again!’ and he said ‘You stupid git!’ because he had no idea what was all over my hands. It was the first time an actual Brit had called me a git. It was a great moment. I took this pic after with my Polaroid Captiva.”

burnt sienna, cobalt blue spectral, olive green, and black if you want !

burnt sienna; is there a painting that brings you peace when you look at it?

Ooo peace, specifically? 8 I have a lot of favorite paintings but trying to think of one that makes me feel peaceful…

So there’s the one piece of Marie Antoinette, when she was young, of her at the harpsichord. Her hand’s flipping a page of sheet music, she’s got a bit more of a smile than most portraits tend to, and it felt so like… candid. Like when you used to take old Polaroids or disposable camera pics of someone practicing something. And of course rococo paintings are always so lush and pretty and bright. I love it. It feels like you’re in a comfy chair next to her, listening to her play.

cobalt blue spectral; what is the most beautiful place you have ever been to?

There was this very beautiful beach on Captiva Island in Florida that my spouses family took us to once. It was like, the absolutely prettiest beach I’d ever seen

olive green; are you currently reading anything? how do you like it so far?

I’m currently reading The Tale of Genji, and I’m on the last stretch of chapters actually. It’s interesting, mainly from a perspective of getting to see what life was like in Heian Japan. The story is very soap opera but I kinda like that

black; post a selfie because you are so beautiful!

I’m in my pjs but I’ll post one from when I was more presentable how about that

Oh no…for f***’s sake…why…WHY….?! So incredibly sad about this. Rest In Peace, Scott Weiland. You were always so kind to me, you had such a good heart. Much love to your family, and much love to you always….

Poleroid’s History

1926 Edwin H. Land leaves Harvard after his freshman year to pursue his own work on light polarization. Two years later, he creates the first synthetic sheet polarizer.

The company offices move from Boston to 730 Main Street in Cambridge.
