text-align: justify;">If you are interested in Soviet music history, or resistance practices in general, you may already be familiar with the advent of “ribs” or <b><u><a href="https://www.dazeddigital.com/music/article/32308/1/russia-x-ray-vinyl-music-soviet-union">black market records that were etched into discarded X-Rays</a></u></b> in the Soviet Union starting in the 1940s or 1950s. When music was heavily regulated by the Kremlin, banned music or sound recordings were lathed by hand onto the plastic X-Ray prints by underground practitioners. The readily available plastic was cheap (trash), and the process of etching was cumbersome, but doable- albeit at the expense of being imprisoned if caught:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><i>“Russian rock journalist Artemy Troitsky explains of the process that record printers up-cycled old phonograph machines to create their own crudely constructed record lathes.</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><i>X-rays were cut into 7-inch discs, grooved at 78RPM, and spindled using the end of a lit cigarette.”</i> (<u><a href="https://musicinfluence.com/vinyl-salvage/ribs-records-the-coolest-vinyl-variation-you-dont-have/">via</a></u>)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Though these are not X-Rays, but rather what appear to be photograph enlargements, these discs are undoubtedly part of the same underground music practice. I found these in my grandparents’ effects this past week, nestled and protected from dust in a midcentury record console. My grandparents were both survivors of Nazi forced farming labor in WWII. After marrying in a refugee camp, they moved to Canada and eventually the U.S. where they raised two kids, worked at a Ford plant, started a small catering business, and maintained a garden in their backyard where they would eventually build a swing for me, their only grandchild, on the strongest limb of their cherry tree.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">I never knew my grandparents Iwan and Maria very well, but they were kind and nourishing even through a profound language barrier. Finding these delicately crafted pieces of resistance gives me a small glimpse into the world they came from, and their survival.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div style="background-color: white;

The social worker on the other end told me that my mom had been admitted to the hospital, and they were desperately trying to reach anyone who could help them understand where this woman who shared my last name was coming from. After 10 years of estrangement through circumstance, I finally heard my mom’s voice again. She had never kept a phone and was lost in the throes of debilitating psychosis for so long. I was unable to see her for years. This time though, her memory prevailed and she was able to remember my phone number to share with the case workers.</span><br style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">Maybe it’s oversharing, but the story of my reunion with my mom has been one of the most harrowing and important developments in my adult life. Between her hospital discharge and today, I managed to get my mom a cell phone and she has been able to slowly figure it out. It feels like a miracle.

It's 2021 and I have shaved my head! </div><div><div style="text-align: left;">Extremely not circa-2009-blogger of me to eschew announcement via exploration of the process but this much I'll give as an overview: </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">My hair is naturally blonde, as you can kinda see now, and <a href="http://www.deluneblog.com/2016/12/self-care-beaute-picks-post-hormonal.html" target="_blank">as I have shared in the past</a>. I did some local modeling when I was in high school, and for a year or two, I was a hair model for hair styling expos that came to town. My hair was dyed copper and significantly cropped after one of those gigs when I was 16, and some version of that style stuck with me for over a whole! ass! decade! </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">That's right, twelve years of dyeing my hair once every three months. I had a signature! I loved it, and while I was building out my blog, one of the things that folks universally brought up was my red hair. Still, I had this feeling that one day, at some point, I would no longer choose to maintain it. I wondered what would cause such a big change in my appearance. Answer: a global fucking pandemic.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://captainjevins.com" target="_blank">Jevins</a> encouraged me to listen to my prodding thoughts to shave my head. We aren't strangers to leaps of personal appearance, place or time. We spent most of 2020 social distancing with his family in Idaho, relishing <a href="https://www.boredpanda.com/holly-blair-witchy-obituary/?utm_source=duckduckgo&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=organic" target="_blank">final visits with his aunt</a> and helping his mom move out of his childhood home. You live life once, try it. So I did with his help- holding all of my hair in a ponytail between the shears of a pair of scissors. In the wee hours of the morning, in our apartment bathroom, shortly after the new year, we lobbed all my red hair off. I looked in the mirror afterwards and saw my mom. She shaved her head when I was in high school.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">There's my year for ya! I started seeing a therapist and kind of fell back into myself not handling isolation very well. I suspect I'll uncover details for the rest of my life. In the meantime, I have been wearing cotton and linen and gold.</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: center;">•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••</div><div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: center;"><u style="font-family: "times new roman", times, freeserif, serif; font-weight: bold; line-height: 22.1px;">I<a href="http://instagram.com/clairegeist" style="color: black; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">nstagram</a></u><span style="font-family: "times new roman", times, freeserif, serif; font-weight: bold; line-height: 22.1px;"> / </span><u style="font-family: "times new roman", times, freeserif, serif; font-weight: bold; line-height: 22.1px;"><a href="https://twitter.com/ClaireGeist" style="color: black; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Twitter</a></u><span style="font-family: "times new roman", times, freeserif, serif; font-weight: bold; line-height: 22.1px;"> / </span><u style="font-family: "times new roman", times, freeserif, serif; font-weight: bold; line-height: 22.1px;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/deluneblog" style="color: black; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Facebook</a></u><span style="font-family: "times new roman", times, freeserif, serif; font-weight: bold; line-height: 22.1px;"> / </span><u style="font-family: "times new roman", times, freeserif, serif; font-weight: bold; line-height: 22.1px;"><a href="https://www.bloglovin.com/blogs/de-lune-2585027" style="color: black; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Bloglovin</a></u><span style="font-family: "times new roman", times, freeserif, serif; font-weight: bold; line-height: 22.1px;">'</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman", times, freeserif, serif;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /></div></div>clairegeisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05203534651525055098noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5676061869890434266.post-40342314609150999732020-07-27T01:16:00.002-04:002020-09-22T22:01:14.373-04:00Poems | Lucille Clifton<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Life is undeniably topsy-turvy right now, and perhaps it's a cliché to talk about finding <b>escape</b> during quarantine, but yep, here I am with my maximalist fantasy moment through color, pattern and texture.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
I feel weird talking about how beautiful a face mask is right now, but I appreciate how Catherine over at <b>Onyx Matter</b> is making hers, and it's heartening to see so many makers, designers and craftspeople making their own masks to sell and donate. Not only does Catherine make her own shibori fabric, <b><u><a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/shibori-indigo-tie-dye-virtual-workshop-50-off-with-code-stayhome-tickets-104093582708">she also teaches online workshops</a></u></b> for dye patterns, shibori and other indigo-related stuff.

I have been collecting these porcelain ashtrays in the shape of be-gloved, cupped hands for years. They were a popular novelty item produced in Japan after WWII. And to be honest, I have even more of these than what you see here, they're just strewn about the apartment, either holding soap, holding incense, or holding the smoldering ashes that I couldn't possibly hold in my own hands, thank you very much.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
One finds these featuring an array of details that I love to see in each individual piece: sometimes the nails are painted gold to match the divet intended for a cigarette at the base of each hand, sometimes the fingers are long and elegant, or loosely arranged to intend a kind of casual "come hither" cup. I think the best thing about these is that they offer a chance to feel as if the thing in them are special, hence my preference to keep jewelry in 'em.</div>

These are challenging times, but I'm grateful to have health and the opportunity to celebrate.</div>

I have veins popping out on my forehead as I type this and avoid using the word <i>charming </i>to describe this thing with every fiber of my being.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
But look at it! It's so SMOL.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I have a habitual eBay habit, and I'd say a good 20-30 minutes a week is dedicated to pursuing postings for vintage charms like this one. I couldn't believe my luck when I nabbed this piece at a price I could afford, and shared this bitty on Instagram a few months back soon after it arrived in my mailbox. Further research led to <b><a href="https://www.abrandtandson.com/products/1-vintage-14kt-miniature-deck-of-playing-cards-charm">discovering that the same charm in 14k gold exists</a></b> which is insanity.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I'm not gonna lie, I did at one point drop the six of hearts card when I breathed too hard while I was holding it, but my vacuum found it intact.</div>

I have been reading over and over again how people are itching to get elegant and dressed UP once this is all (dare I even suggest) over. I hear this and I think of skirt suits in the 50's and early 60's and laugh.</div>

One of my favorite things about dressing in the spring is embracing the opportunity to wear practically nothing, or at least very light layers underneath a big ole heavy winter coat. The juxtaposition (again, here I go with the <i>contrasts</i>) of big clunky coats with elegant or flowy dresses and a bunch of baubles is my favorite kinds of thing to wear. Add a T-shirt and we're really in business.</div>

Awkward, a little funny, loose, and always undeniably human and alluring- or at least I think so.</div>

On a sidenote, I honestly dig the snapshot, but all I can think of when I see that fifth photo of the person clutching a copy of that (awful) newspaper is <b><u><a href="https://youtu.be/ZzwXZD1ejGw?t=3089">this</a></u></b> incredible moment from IDLES' Glastonbury performance.</div>

This weekend I opted for a silk dress and some punk-inspired (yeesh with my poser ass) accoutrement for....nothing in particular, just lounging in-between bouts of cleaning. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The dress is something I nabbed in college. <b><u><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bM_F_n5_ffs">Chloë Sevigny's collaboration with OC</a></u></b> leveraged a bunch of hard/soft contrasts: fetishwear-inspired leather separates with laser cut lace borders, babydoll dresses styled with big fuck-off platforms. I remember scrolling through the look books for the collection in my dorm room. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
A year after the first drop, when I was working with <b><a href="https://www.racked.com/2015/8/12/9144767/bib-tuck-crossroads">Bib+Tuck</a></b> (RIP), I was thrilled to find my favorite piece second-hand (this one). Now I find myself longing to put on something special, so I wear it around the house over a ratty cotton long sleeve, sweet and sour about it.</div>

It's nearly springtime, and as usual, I'm out here doing some outfit math to both keep cool and warm?? I got a bunch of knit textures, and a basic cardigan worn backwards- for "oomph", I guess, if you wanna call it that. </div>

<u><b><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BuCFdGRg0st/">My mom</a></b></u> was always a fan of cheap, handmade espadrilles like these. Always worn with socks in the garden. It's an unexplainable habit I picked up from her, but I scarcely wear espadrilles without a sock'd foot.</div>

<b>On this purse: a story</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have started doing this thing where I (try to) only bring a new thing into my life if I have a physical, almost inevitable and subconscious draw to it. This purse was one such purchase. Next thing I know, I'm proudly sharing my new pursette friend on a formica diner counter on my IG stories, and it happened: the thing I always wondered about life after second-hand consignment:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The previous owner recognized their bag!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I locked eyes with this little bag back in September and it got me, folks.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It's got everything I want in a thing: the danger of losing small items, mixed materials, and noticeable handiwork on behalf of whoever made it. It doesn't have a lining, although there is slight, shredded evidence of a cloth lining that was cut out at some point. PLUS! It's a neutral color. No tag, no idea who made it, ah well. Sold.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Shoutout to <a href="https://www.instagram.com/lastgoodmeal/?hl=en"><b>Emellie</b></a> who messaged and told me the purse is a one-of-a kind Loeffler Randall. Bought at a sample sale, it never made it to production, so it's a unique number that I am proud to carry the legacy on with. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This is why second-hand is great, folks. If you're got an urge to add more to your life, try a little treasure hunting, y'know?</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My parents were fiendish antiques collectors, so I know where I get it from. Interior design is a new adventure for me. I'm living in my first "adult" apartment, <b><a href="https://www.instagram.com/stories/highlights/18044980849106990/">which is a 600 sq-foot 1-bedroom</a> </b>that I share with <b><a href="https://www.captainjevins.com/">my boyfriend </a></b>and our <b><a href="https://www.instagram.com/stories/highlights/18031104415141719/">two cats</a></b>. Even after a year, we're still figuring out what we like and don't like when it comes to surrounding ourselves with things. That being said, I love our dresser, and I love the spooky fun stuff I have come to start my day looking at.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>The Hands</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It all started with one novelty porcelain ash tray in the shape of a cupped hand. I think I got it at a flea market when I was in high school. One ash tray turned into three, and now here I am with over fifteen! I love these things, and they have become a humorous staple of my bedroom decor, keeping everything from jewelry (obviously), to bits and bobs like old dice and devil figurines. Honestly, if I have learned anything, it's that ash trays make for excellent catch-all dishes; they come with personality and humor to say the least.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>The Sardine Box</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Another moment of crockery-as-vanity-staple is my porcelain sardine box, which is where I keep my hair ties and loose buttons. Why a sardine dish? Well, the trompe l'oeil factor is fabulous enough, but I find the shape and placement of the sardine as a sort of handle as too good. These were popular at Victorian tables and ensured that the salty cured fish would be kept moist. I just love anything that elevates something as humble as a sardine.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>The Candles</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You'll probably notice quite a few empty glasses that once held Diptyque scented candles. I have only really had the pleasure of burning about ~5 in my life. In fact, almost all of the glasses marked 'Santal' were found in a discarded box on the side of the road in Boerum Hill! I know one of these things can go for $30 on eBay, which makes that a score to say the least! My favorite candles and incense, which I replenish every year (if I can) are as follows:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
• <u>Le Labo Cade 26 </u>- You can only get this in NYC Le Labo locations, and you have to ask for it. It's the official fragrance of the Gramercy Park Hotel, which is one of my favorite places in the city, and where I associate the beginning of my "blogging career". That's for another post.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<b>Cloches</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Speaking of candles, and I don't have many on my dresser in these photos, but I have become a big, big fan of cloches as an accessory to preserve and keep fragrances fresh. Plus, they look like something out of a classic french apothecary or oddities museum.</div>

<b>"book" Box</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The paper box in the shape of a book with Venetian decorative paper edges, was my stepmom's. I inherited it after she passed away. I always loved how she used it as a jewelry box, so it's where I keep my delicate and special pieces.</div>

<b>Necklace Holder (which I use for sunglasses)</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My porcelain hands hold all the jewelry I want to have...erm...on hand. So instead of using a necklace holder for its intended purpose, I use the T-bar shape to hold 3-12 pairs of sunglasses, which I pile on with abandon when I'm feeling careless. Some opticians might suggest keeping your sunglasses in a case, you know, like an adult, but I opt for having them visible at all times. Plus, I like the idea of plucking sunglasses like fruit from a tree.</div>

One of these days I'll get around to waxing poetic about my favorite perfumes. In any case, I keep most of my collection available on my dresser, organized on top of a wooden tray to keep them all tidy, per <u><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Remodelista-Organized-Simple-Stylish-Storage/dp/1579656935?tag=viglink127147-20">Organized Home</a></u>'s suggestion.

My ittiest, bittiest film SLR camera. You can read about these incredible and charming cameras <u><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentax_Auto_110">here</a></u>.

Listen, when you notice that you have the chance to match your drippy, bowed and beaded sweater with an equally be-beaded vintage purse, you go fourth and show off your plastic. This angora blend monster, completely encrusted in dangling bits and beads, was an irresistible find at my local thrift joint. I immediately thought of this vintage beaded purse from the 50's/60's, which I nabbed back in Idaho earlier this year at the good 'ol Goldmine- which one Google review rightfully describes as a <span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/107582952709449629491/place/ChIJgwqVjbeCqVQRahFdaEKjIKU?sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwigoPq7_pLlAhXOmOAKHULIBM4Qv_QBMBp6BAgTEBA"><span style="background-color: white; cursor: pointer;">"Nice </span><span class="OaDgwd" style="background-color: white; cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none;">place</span><span style="background-color: white; cursor: pointer;"> to buy Rich People's hand me downs for </span><span class="OaDgwd" style="background-color: white; cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none;">thrift store prices</span><span style="background-color: white; cursor: pointer;">."</span></a></span></div>

And yep! Everything here is second-hand. That's gonna be my credo going into 2020: as few new purchases as possible- especially when it comes to clothes and accessories, good lord. I mean, I've been doin' a mean thriftshow since high school (as some of you who have been reading this thing for 10 YEARS???! OH MY GOD??! would recognize). And yeah, I think my eagerness to just try putting things together in a novel way has always been what gets me to enjoy style and fashion in the first place.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Took some time at my dad's place in Portland, New York last week with the lad.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The weather up near Chautauqua, being so close to Lake Erie, is sunny and cool. I enjoyed dipping my toes into the crispness of early autumn, while two days out of the week we were there ended up hitting the low 80s! I wore socks with sandals, threw my long denim duster over everything, and embraced bathing suit-as-top territory.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And yes, I even wore an open sweater under a linen romper without a bra! The cheekiness!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I was clinging to the warm weather for sure, but I'm ready for layers.</div>
