LISA SIMPSON WEARS MARC JACOBS

I was searching for something 'Simpsons' to post a picture for a recent blog entry when I stumbled on this image. For no particular reason, other than the fact, that I share my name with well known designer, MARC JACOBS, did I feel like posting this 2013 illustration today.

Swagger New York collaborated with Italian designer Michele Moricci to celebrate New York Fashion Week by imagining some of the most popular '90s cartoon characters in designer wear. 

The publication released a set of images featuring some of the most loved cartoon characters of the Nineties, wearing designers that -- Swagger New York and Moricci thought -- would suit their personalities.  

Here's how they wrote up Lisa Simpson headed to the Marc Show: "Lisa Simpson hits her bff Marc Jacobs' show 20 minutes late. It's okay because Marc wouldn't dare start without her, a Simpsonized image of the designer is tattooed on his arm after all.".

After my 55000+ steps on Saturday,  I wasn't sure that I had the energy or will to spend time on the elliptical machine on Sunday. Obviously I did.

And then I found the energy and the will to complete a second session after lunch.

And then I found even more energy and will to complete a third session after dinner.
