Andy Warhol Eats a Hamburger

Literally that is the total action of this video. Enjoy the simplicity.

The Girl in Cream




















With the what seems to be omnipresence of the Sartorialist-Scott Schuman- outside of the runways here and abroad, there is bound to be repetition within his photographs of the editors and celebs who go to multiple shows.

Consistently dressed in head-to-toe cream, here is one I noticed (L to R):
Pic 1: In NY outside of Ralph Lauren
Pic 2: In NY at Calvin Klein --I was there too, btw :)
Pic 3: In Milan at Prada

I don't recognize her-- (gasp. should I be ashamed of myself?) Anyone know who this is?

A Brilliant Heist

Heist is one of my favorite little galleries in the city. Recently opened, it features a lot of talented local artists. Exhibit openings are always packed as guests spew out of the doors and into the surrounding sidewalk and street.

These people are Vultures

Vulture Realty just released their EP. 

This two man electronic band is largely influenced by the Beatles (but who isnt). Needless to say they are great. And their music is free to download on their website. I personally like The Joke.

A Gem




I had never heard of Lorick until sleuthing for the source of these shorts (from Spring 2008 collection) featured on GG. I have found a new love.
Yes, I know it seems too late to buy these being they are a season old and it is now fall, but why don't we take a look at the rest.

Also, if you dont want to click through, a couple of my other favorites above^^

The Art of Rodarte


Yesterday's Rodarte collection began with simple nude ensembles and as the looks kept down the runway gradually more color was introduced.
Next: intertwined orange and white/ black and blue combinations--by the end, an Aurora Borealis-type whirl of an evening gown (see right for look, left for the beautiful AB). I love the way the strokes of orange, purple, and blue ad shape to the dress and tell your eye where to look.

The Jazz Age and a Great Woody Allen Film

I just stumbled upon one of T Magazine's video interviews of Penelope Cruz, part of her publicity for Vicky Christina Barcelona. Reminded me of one of my favorite Woody Allen movies, Zelig, a hilarious mockumentary starring Woody and also Mia Farrow.  Trailer below...

"I'm not sure I'm autistic anymore... I think I'm just a thief"

My favorite college professor introduced me to the 'Modern Love' column in NYT. I have been reading it ever since-- this week a mother teaches her son to grow up by sending him to jail.
