The statement being: "I'm too rich to drive a Morris Minor, and too poor to buy a Jaguar." I knew a fellow who bought one of these, only to discover none of his extensive collection of hand tools fit. Not metric, not 'Murican. He learned a new word that day. Whitworth.

Well I’m darned if I know what that means…maybe they appear on a bank statement? Who knows?
Anyways, this is my GLW with her feet up at our local watering hole after a couple of Asahi beers.

Yellow is a happy color and even more so with flowers. This is a “Cheerful Yellow Statement” as you can see. Flowers convey happiness wham we receive them. Gardens are full of color for sure. Yellow Flowers stand out so much they’re in a class of their. Thanks for viewing my photos.
The gatehouse to Markyate Cell, a 16th century mansion. The gatehouse itself is a 19th century building and its Tudor style just an architectural quotation. Leica M8, Elmar (collapsible) 4/90.
Random find. That's some serious statement right there. Suitably next to a discarded Lime scooter I'm choosing to ignore. Vague, oblique metaphors and such.
I have questions for whoever is responsible for this.
Not quite sure why I thought this was worth sharing. Maybe because someone decided it was worth defacing a building with, and I in turn am defacing your timeline. Or maybe because it made me snort, which lodged my chewing gum down the wrong pipe - how eventful- and I'm trying to feel better by making someone else snort. Or maybe because I'm destined to become one of those people who share memes because "This shit made me laugh, so I'll inflict it on the lot of you. You're welcome." Which makes this a pre-meme.
What can I say. I'm profound like that.
Luxe Paris Brings Mondrian's Vision to Second Life: A Modern Take on High Fashion
In the ever-evolving world of Second Life fashion, Luxe Paris has once again proven why it remains a beacon of innovation and artistry. Their latest release, the Mondrian Dress, is more than just an outfit—it’s a statement. Inspired by Piet Mondrian’s iconic abstract art, this dress bridges the gap between the storied past of modern art and today’s haute couture.
The Fashion History Behind the Mondrian Dress
The roots of the Mondrian Dress trace back to the 1960s when Yves Saint Laurent introduced his groundbreaking "Mondrian Collection." His designs drew directly from Mondrian’s grid-based compositions of bold primary colors bordered by thick black lines. This collection was a revolutionary blend of art and fashion, showcasing how garments could transcend their functional purpose to become walking canvases of artistic expression.
Mondrian’s art, characterized by its simplicity and balance, was an ideal inspiration for Saint Laurent’s vision of modern elegance. By integrating these abstract paintings into couture, Saint Laurent didn’t just dress his models—he turned them into living embodiments of modernist art.
Luxe Paris: Revitalizing Mondrian for the Digital Era
Fast forward to today, and Luxe Paris’s rendition of the Mondrian Dress breathes new life into this classic design within the vibrant landscape of Second Life. The dress pays homage to the original with its striking grid patterns and color blocking. Yet, it reimagines the style with a contemporary twist that fits perfectly into the virtual world’s dynamic fashion scene.
The Luxe Paris Mondrian Dress is a seamless fusion of past and present. While it retains the essence of Mondrian’s minimalist aesthetics, it also incorporates modern elements like:
Dynamic Textures: The dress features intricate, high-definition textures that give the fabric a sense of depth and movement, adding realism to its virtual representation.
Flattering Silhouettes: Unlike the boxy shapes of the original 1960s design, Luxe Paris has tailored this dress to accentuate the avatar’s form, creating a sleek and sophisticated silhouette.
Styling the Mondrian Dress
This dress is a statement piece that doesn’t need much to shine. Pair it with minimalistic accessories like geometric earrings or a sleek clutch to enhance the artistic vibe. For shoes, opt for bold, single-tone heels to complement the dress’s striking colors.
In the virtual world of Second Life, where creativity knows no bounds, the Mondrian Dress by Luxe Paris stands as a tribute to both the history of fashion and the limitless possibilities of modern design. It’s a reminder that great art never fades; it evolves and adapts, finding new ways to inspire.
Final Thoughts
Luxe Paris’s Mondrian Dress is more than an outfit; it’s a celebration of artistic legacy and modern ingenuity. By bringing this iconic design to Second Life, Luxe Paris has not only honored the spirit of Mondrian and Saint Laurent but has also set a new standard for digital haute couture. So, whether you’re an art aficionado, a fashion enthusiast, or simply someone who loves to make a statement, the Mondrian Dress is a must-have for your Second Life wardrobe.

Finally, in this short series… this is the view from Montacute House of the North Garden, which is bordered by clipped yew trees.
What’s interesting about this is the fact that the footprint of a parterre has been superbly mown into the lawn, creating an echo of the Tudor layout of this space.
The National Trust describe Montacute House, in Somerset, as “a statement of wealth and power, designed to impress both passing visitor and local villager”. Well, it’s certainly that.
The house and gardens were completed in 1601 by Sir Edward Phelips, a successful lawyer who, having made his fortune, turned to politics. He was involved in the trial of Sir Walter Raleigh in 1603, and he opened the prosecution against Guy Fawkes in 1606 when he was Speaker of the House of Commons. He died in 1614.
The fifties mixed with the nineties fashion?
