I love these. I got my boyfriend the Bernard Black one (and a lovely Bjork one!) for his birthday. I had a photo of him wearing if to post, but I’ve lost it =[ She packaged everything so nicely as well, Daisy’s Creations is pretty much my favourite Etsy shop.

Eep! I want the Bernard Black one :0

hungrylikethewolfie: I walk into a room, and for this...

hungrylikethewolfie:

I walk into a room, and for this industry, I’m impossibly tall. When they find it hard to pair you up with the opposite sex, then what’s left for a woman? Either you’re the ball-buster or the not-so-attractive girlfriend standing by the lead. I mean, traditionally not so attractive. Because you have your starlets and then you have their best friends who are these character actresses. When you fall within the cracks, you thank God for sci-fi, because they’ll give you a gun, and they’ll say, ‘Go over there and conquer that world. You kick some ass, girl!’

Tippi Benjamine Okanti Degré, daughter of French wildlife photographers Alain Degré and Sylvie Robert, was born in Namibia. During her childhood she befriended many wild animals, including a 28-year old elephant called Abu and a leopard nicknamed J&B. She was embraced by the Bushmen and the Himba tribespeople of the Kalahari, who taught her how to survive on roots and berries, as well as how to speak their language.

i am so jealous of this girl

But there’s more:

Born in Windhoek, Namibia in 1990, Tippi Benjamine Okanti Degre was named after Tippi Hedren, the actress who starred in Hitchcok’s ‘The Birds’.

“It was magical to be able to be free in this nature with this child,” explains Sylvie, Tippi’s mother. “She was a very lucky little girl - she was born and raised until the age of ten totally in the wild. It was just the three of us living in the wild with the animals and not too many humans.”

Living with her French parents, wildlife photographers Sylvie Robert and Alain Degre, the three of them travelled extensively through Africa on a unique and incredible adventure.

Raised up with an elephant as a brother, leopard as the best friend and African bush as her playground, Tippi shows an unusual bond and harmony between human and beast.

“Tippi always said that everybody was gifted and this was her gift,” explains Sylvie. “She was in the mindset of these animals. She believed the animals were her size and her friends. She was using her imagination to live in these different conditions. She had no fear. She did not realize she was not the same size as Abu the elephant. She would look into its eyes and speak to him”

Using her innocence and imagination, the young ‘Mowgli’ befriended one of the giants of the animal kingdom, Abu the African elephant.

Her mother added: “Linda, an ostrich from one of the African farms we visited, was so nice that we couldn’t even take a photo of Tippi riding her. Linda was so afraid of riding Tippi she didn’t want to move.”

However, despite the apparent ease and comfort with which they interact, Sylvie and Alain always put Tippi’s safety first.

“You can’t just meet any of these animals and act like this with them,” explains Sylvie. “Wild animals will either run away or attack you if they are frightened, injured or need to protect their young. But in the arid or semi desert regions of Southern Africa people have farms of 10 000 to 20 000 hectares. The farmers often keep orphan animals and raise them in their house. Sometimes they are tame or used to humans and so this is how Tippi was able to be so close with them.”

Now aged 18 and having just started a degree in cinema at University in Paris, Tippi is facing a different jungle - the concrete kind.

But for Sylvie, her decision to bring up her child in the African wilderness was the correct choice - and she has no regrets. “For me it was incredible to think you offer all of this to a child,” she says. “Because I was at ease, because I liked it and because we had lived with the Meerkats in the Kalahari Desert for six years before Tippi was born, I believed it was fantastic to have that to offer to a child compared to what I would be able to offer to a child living in a city for example.

This summer Tippi passed her Baccalaureate and entered La Sorbonne Nouvelle University in Paris where she follows her past two years of cinema studies at the Lyceum.

Sylvie added: “Tippi believes she is African and she wants to get a Namibian passport. She wants to become an ambassador for Namibia. It is like Mowgli’s story, but Tippi’s is true.”

Best childhood, best parents, best human being.Ever.
