From Dusk 'Til Dawn






Anja Rubik in Allure magazine December 2006. Photographed by Patrick DeMarchelier.

I wanted to share this particular editorial with everyone because it encompasses fluidity, elegance and femininity. I like the champagne, diamonds and bubbles attitude Anja has going on while she sprawls across the room in stilettos and gauzy dresses. It also reminds me to enjoy life, every happy moment is a memory that lasts a lifetime.......

Michael Jackson, Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough is one of my all-time favorite songs of yours, along with Thriller. RIP. You are my Angel in the airwaves, now and forever......

Cameron, of Stardust and Sequins contacted me to contribute my Michael Jackson playlist of favorites. You can see it here.

Personal Scans.

I can't believe I used to not like Anja. She's such a gorgeous girl, and it's a shame she is looking a bit too skinny these days.

I've got the radio on at the moment, and every station is playing MJ songs right now. Black and White is currently on, and that's one of my favourites.

DaisyChain said...

anja in that sequined mini looks amazing if only we all looked like that running around all day in sequined minis

Aileina said...

This is as modern today as it was in 2006. ^.^ And my radio is all about Michael Jackson today too.

butterfly said...

Virgin Suicides is about a group of teenage sisters whose extremely religious parents keep them protected from the rest of the neighbourhood and the boys who become infatuated with them.

Petra said...

What a beautiful editorial! So bright, fresh and feminine. It has me craving champagne, sleep-ins in crisp white sheets and bows and sparkles on everything :)

Hope you're enjoying your weekend

Delmy said...

I love Anja Rubik. That why I chopped my hair off!

Tessie said...

Love the layout...so feminine without being overtly sexual..as they so often do these days. Classic femininity never goes out of style.

Call Me Cat said...

Been meaning to tell you I loved the songs list you supplied Cameron's blog with. All really great choices. Thriller and Will You Be There are some of my faves too. I can imagine a little you on your bike singing along to it actually :) so cute LOL!!!

Great Anja and song in Michael's memory.. RIP.

Cat! x

KateMossFan said...

Oh no, blogger ate my previous comment! Anyway, I was saying that I really liked the clothes, the lighting and the overall feel of the editorial. I really like the style, this contrast between rock chick and feminine.
Oh no, it must have been tough for you when Michael Jackson died, as he was your favourite singer... My sympathy to you.
I saw the post in memory of Michael Jackson when I was reading Cameron's blog yesterday - you're really talented at putting together playlists and I loved your little descriptions to go with the songs!
I like it that you scanned the editorial yourself - I don't really know why, but it adds a more personal feel ^^

caylee said...

Elegance and femininity are the right words. Love this editorial.

This set is perfect !

M.J... ' Stranger in Moscow ' is my favorite but every song is a 'highlight'... and I remember so many choregraphies on his music... >____>

And now Pina Bausch died too... depressing, really !

Inside Mode said...

2006, was such a perfect year in fashion. I remember when I first saw that YSL dress, my heart fluttered. The ginormous bow in the back is just the world's most beautiful thing in the world.
