Then and Now

 So you already know my trip to Panama was a return. I spent many happy years down there as a kid and today Mom sent me pics to prove it. So crazy to see the exact same places I was just standing a little over a week ago. Really messing with my brain right now. Take a look.

Back in the day we went to see Panama Viejo. It hasn't changed all that much.



Me and my dad sitting on a ledge that I walked past last week without even realizing and yet now I can picture exactly where it was. 


Me and mom*
Then......


and now (35ish years later now)



I think this one blows me away the most. Seriously? Almost the exact same shot 35 years later?






So crazy. Life is funny that way. 

*Ok seriously? Who's idea was it to put me in long sleeves?? It was HOT people!
But wow we were cute!

Hi! I was googling Panama canal zone images and your blog popped up. What years were you in Panama? I was there from 75 to 79

Oh my gosh, you guys I feel like a jerk for not responding to your comments. Yes, My dad was a pilot at Howard and we were there from 74-78 I believe. Monica where did you live?

Trapeze!!!!!

I finally used the gift certificate I got for Christmas from my little sis, Jill. She and I took Trapeze lessons when she came to visit me last year and she knows how much I love it. So last week I took another class and I am kicking myself for waiting so long. It is SO DARN FUN!!!! I have learned new tricks every time and they are getting so fancy and cool. Today I was so excited to try the set split. It just looks so circusy and trapezey! I know that neither one of those are words but that is the only way to describe it. I let me camera run and got a video that ,while it is crap lighting you can see my catch on my new trick LOVE IT!  Take a look.

Me and LD back in da day

My former assistant from Quiksilver was in town this week and she crashed at my place while she was here. It was fun to catch up and have girl time. As I was archive digging tonight I ran across this gem from one of our QS Waterman shoots. We always knew how to throw a little fun into an otherwise tedious project with our Mannies, Bryan and Chad. Oh the days.

Henri Bendel

I am in Love. It happened quite suddenly although I met him years ago. We rekindled our affair on Fashion's night out a few months back and now it's official, I am head over heels. :) His name is Henri and I love everything about him. I want to be a Bendel Girl for the rest of my life. All illustrations by Izak Zenou who does Incredibly beautiful work. Oh to be THAT talented....swoon.
