"1983" Prom King & Queen

2010 Prom King & Queen, again

These two dreamy dreamers are Oh So Good at dressing up to the nines.
They're also really good at surprises and dancing, and just, in general,
being the most cute couple out there.
J'approve et je t'aime!

Stacey's Photography

Santa Rita's very own Stacey Evans has a unique, gentle eye for colorful, intriguing photographs. She might be a bit shy about this being posted, but she certainly deserves recognition for her ability to capture beauty. Check out her flickr, and prepare to fall in love.

The Ramen Girl

J'approve of pretty much every movie involving food. And love. And movies with scenes of Brittany Murphy dancing by herself in a beautiful apartment. This is a perfect movie to cuddle up to watch on a lazy Saturday afternoon.

floral party on the deck at five

On Wednesday night, Chelsea and I made a deal to do a photoshoot at five o'clock the following afternoon, and sure enough, I was waiting at 4:59 with coffee on Santa Rita's porch. Chel-bell wore this outfit that day, and was the sun ever shining! She looks like a flower.


Our philosophy is sunshine. And coffee.

Mr. Francisco Camacho

This here gent seems to always be well turned out. I told him I'd be stealing his bag...he told me to return his scarf. And shirt...

I'm thinking a clandestine trip to raid his closet might be necessary: I've got my eye not only on the bag, but the blazer...and the pea coat... and a certain cardigan I know he's been hiding. If I were Frankie, I'm fairly certain I'd give the lovely Santa Rita girls my clothes, so as to avoid the sudden realization that my entire wardrobe has disappeared.*



*This may or may not be a threat

The Feircest

Miss Madeline, looking stunning as usual in a beautiful floral dress and supah cute kicks.
The only thing better than her outfit is her fabulous hair cut.
J'approve et je t'aime!

Art Teacher Chic

Juana Alicia Montoya, a dancer, muralist, and a teacher at Berkeley City College, has amazing style. As her student, I get to experience it at least twice a week in my painting class. I feel honored to be given the chance to learn from this astounding woman, who prior to becoming a teacher was active in Cesar Chavez's united farmworker's movement in the late sixties and seventies, and has been painting large-scale murals for most of her adult life. She rocks.
