looking out at ripples on the dancefloor

This my dear audience is me sans four wisdom teeth. I look like I played chubby-wubby-bunnies one too many times. But in my funny little attempt at disrupting the airbrushed nature of some blogs, here it is.

This amazing album cover is the work of Aki Miyajima, whose gorgeous works can be found here. I first saw her work in Japan last year at the digmeout exhibition in Tokyo.

And I literally just caught the tail end of a piece on the ABC about a relatively new modern Muslim women's magazine called "Aquila". Ever since discovering Under Urooba's Umbrella, a fellow blogger, I have been fascinated with the role of fashion within Islam.

Here is just one of the beautiful spreads.

Hopefully my face loses the swelling soon and I hope you've all had a lovely weekend :)
