Wrapping things up

2010-05-15T10:49:00.004+02:00

I found the OG British versions Harry Potter 6 and 7 at one of my favorite stores, Publicis, which I was obviously really excited about and wanted to buy immediately. They have some particularly amazing stuff at the moment, including the (ridiculously overpriced) Karl Lagerfield édition limitée Coca Light bottle and real absinthe with worm wood (which I will be buying May 17th as soon as I finally finish exams)... and I must try the, apparently, best baguette in Paris before I go.

Check out Illuminated Atheist... especially "Transvestite Jesus." It's just as good as it sounds.

This exhibit is absolutely amazing, wish I could have been there:

Hidden treasures

2010-05-03T18:06:00.009+02:00

The adorable JFK Jr. and chic momma O at one of my favorite places near my old apartment.

Lovely drawings, and I'm still obsessed with the Miu Miu spring prints (especially the cat shoes). Luckily I will soon be in possession of an almost as cute knock-off cat print dress from Zara:

I'm also on the hunt for a high-rise, vintage looking bikini, comme ça:

He is such a cutie, especially his shoes.

Monkey painter? Monkey antiquarian? Monkeys in coats? I died of cuteness today.

I have to brag a little more: these guys got accepted for the permanent collection of The AUP Fine Arts Gallery, so sad to give them up though.

Un mélange

2010-04-13T18:20:00.002+02:00

Currently loving:

Diego Bernal's "For Corners". Download it.

A painting I did yesterday:

I finally obtained a camera about a year after my old one got murdered at the beach in Santa Barbara, but the memory card doesn't fit in my card reader. So for now I'll make due with photobooth/cell phone until I buy a new one. And on another note, I am officially moving to New York in the fall :) Definitely ready for a change and I anticipate falling in love with this one.

“People go to art – willingly become an audience – to recover from unconscious breakdown of the sense of self and of the will to live, brought about by their inability to tolerate the world’s indifference to their inner life, and especially by their narcissistic need to be mirrored and to idealize. True art seems to care about inner life and respond to narcissistic need. It thus makes people feel inwardly alive, renewing their faith in themselves. More particularly, the playful unity of the true work of art – playful because it seems simultaneously a disintegration of old form and an integration of new form – becomes a hopeful model to the self. True art gives the self leave to become playful, leading it out of the wilderness of feeling like nothing into the promised land of feeling like something new. True art and true self seem in perpetual playful transition between old form, which embodies the feeling of being nothing, and new form, experienced as everything one could ever want.”
-Donald Kuspit

I love this quote (it used to be on my facebook) and I want to preserve it somewhere (but not there) because it ultimately just makes me think "Why so serious?" and then I think to myself "Well... I don't know, but it's starting to give me a headache."
SO, moving on, let this be the beginning of avoiding headaches and enjoying for the sake of enjoyment.

“And at some point, I thought that the smartest way to think about writing music and designing a stage show is to say to myself a) What do I want to listen to? and, second, What would I go out and see or hear that would make me really jealous if I didn’t think of it first? Those are the two paramount questions that I follow.”

These shoes are absolutely adorable and I NEED them on my feet immediately... almost as bad as I need the Hieronymus Bosch "Garden of Earthly Delights" pieces from the last McQueen collection:

It's all gorgeous, he is genius.
