it's Thanksgiving again! while some people eat birds, others - namely Carlee Fernandez - make installations with such creatures & other dead animals. many wear them too. fur is in! either way, i'm into it...
here in LA, it's a little chilly, crisp & sunny. in Finland, where my brother Eric Alexandre is, the Aurora Borealis illuminates the cold dark skies - here's a gorgeous pic he just emailed me:
