DL & CO.


Finlay i get to post on Douglas Little. Up until now I'd been waiting on the day I'd take another step out of the stone age and buy myself a scanner so you could all see my years of accumulated cool. And having sat on my Douglas little article for a couple years, he and his company have FINLAY gotten their website up and running and I can share another interest of mine.

Although I couldn't find an image of a top hat by Mr. Little in a gentle dove grey, a black band, and a seahorse stickpin. It's one of my most treasured finds. Guess I do have to get that scanner, damn.

Here's a bit from his website telling you who and the what about Mr. Little, "Mr. Douglas Little is a sybarite of the senses who has created award winning images and ideas for the finest names in beauty. His appetite for rarefied pleasures has compelled him to bring Modern Alchemy into being...

Within the dim, opulent parlors of Modern alchemy, detail, craft and imagination are all greeted with a tender reverent embraced, and are cordially introduced to their lusty suitors..."

Well you get the idea. He is a very peculiar man with very specific tastes that happen to be fucking fabulous. He must lament being born into the wrong century.

I'll post more on DL & Co. later.
