Brushed fur. Union Square, Manhattan, NYC. Spotted by Amber Garvey

This coat reminds me of brush strokes in an impressionist painting. Yesterday I saw the fabulous Impressionism, Fashion and Modernity exhibit at the MET, featuring men’s & women’s clothing seen in paintings by Renoir, Monet, Manet, Baudelaire, and more. These painters were capturing the look of the period in much the same way we do with street photography. A glimpse of a moment, just with a different medium. If you are NYC before May 27th, I highly recommend it!

Back to Louisville tomorrow!

We are so ready for summer here at The Pretty Gritty! With the Forecastle line-up announced, and tickets on sale, we’re remembering how fun last year was, and look forward to the warmer weather, sunburns, and great shows. It can’t come soon enough!

Miss Navajo! Leandra Thomas in Window Rock, AZ.

The Miss Navajo pageant takes place every year. As a leader, Miss Navajo’s role is to be a guide and role model of the Navajo Nation. Some of the requirements of the pageant include speaking Navajo, and butchering a whole sheep, by yourself!

There is a great documentary on Netflix right now about the Miss Navajo pageant! Check it out!
