Happy Times!

Score at the Hejfina sale! I bought...
A.P.C. 70's jeans (but in a lighter, more 70s shade) & A.P.C. striped top (but in a light beige color); both were essentially half off!!

Plus I found a fabulous pair of Charles Jourdan wedges, and 70's purple patterned button up from Crossroads. Today was a good day (:

Mirrors Don't Lie. Mislead? Oh, Yes...

"What is it about our reflected self that it plays by such counterintuitive rules? The important point is that no matter how close or far we are from the looking glass, the mirror is always halfway between our physical selves and our projected selves in the virtual world inside the mirror, and so the captured image in the mirror is half our true size..."

You & Me

The Walkmen's fifth album, You & Me, comes out August 19th, and it's fucking fantastic. Let's just say a little birdy told me so.

A.P.C. Fall '09

The first look is my absolute favorite...

More Jarvisness

Pitchfork 2008

I finally saw Jarvis! And yes, it was everything I hoped it would be and more - ineffably awesome! His new songs are, of course, fucking fantastic.

Chk chk chk's (!!!) performance was insane and nearly caused a riot, I've never been thrashed about so hard in my life - but all is well as I needed a good thrashing! I highly recommend seeing them live, it's quite a unique experience.

This is one of my favorite editorials of the year and I'm not even a Coco Rocha fan. Absolute gorgeousness!

Jarvis Cocker Needs To Be The New Dr. Who

I'm counting my days until I see Jarvis Cocker in concert for the very first time - 1, 2, 3, 4...at the Pitchfork Music Festival (no sniggering please I'm only going to see Jarvis...okay, okay, and maybe a few others.) Anywho, I thought I would celebrate with a clip of Jarv at the Mighty Boosh Festival. The clip, of course, would be far more exciting if Noel Fielding & Julian Barratt had actually done the interview, so just ignore the obnoxious pseudo-journalist and listen to the sheer brilliance that is the Yorkshire accent!

Double Projection

"It is hardly surprising that Alain Robbe-Grillet should have moved from his particular conception and practice of the French New Novel to the cinema. In literary works such as The Voyeur (1955) and Jealousy (1957), this nouveau romancier delighted in patterned descriptions of nature so plastic as to appear at first reading entirely devoid of any subjective point of view or psychology..."
