I took Dashiell to the park the other day and there were so many crows hanging out by the picnic tables that I purposely avoided going to that area.  However, Dashiell was so excited to play with them that he ran over screaming at the top of his lungs.  I was screaming as well.  But not because I was excited but because I was frightened.  I imagined the crows attacking us just like they did in Hitchcock’s The Birds.  So when I spotted this Givenchy S/S 15 Look 47 on style.com, I was reminded of that dark day at the park.  Crows are terrifyingly smart according to this article.  Instead of being fearful of the crows, I’d rather have them on my side and fly around me all the time.  Keep your friends close but keep your enemies closer.  That way, I’d have constant voluminous, windswept hair and Dashiell will never be bored.  As appealing as that sounds, I doubt it would ever happen.  But anything is possible in my illustrienne world!
