girl of my dreams.

this past weekend i treated myself to the new issue of lula. and how could i not seeing as it was complied exactly for me. i swear it had to of been! an interview with yayoi kusama {with accompanying horse photo}, joanna newsom in that dream of a marc jacobs dress {a double whammy}, an ode to shelley duvall, a little bit of darger, and a salute to strawberry shortcake {!!!} all wrapped up with their always amazing editorials that make me want to run away {in a good way}. luv u lula.

qui est GIGI?

as evidenced through josh gosfield's collection of magazine covers, snapshots, advertisements and album covers, gigi gaston had her meteoric rise and fall in the 60's-70's french pop music scene. however, this amazingly thorough archive covers something that never actually happened. gigi is a fictitious character 'played' by modern ye-ye sweetheart mareva galanter of the always amazing do you scopitone? i loooove stuff like this.

the eye of the world.

it's like if buckminster fuller and a huichol had a baby.

the idea of gluing something onto something else.

i've been making more collages. it's really fun and helps clear away the cobwebs (and piling magazines).

face lifts. {giveaway}

just in time for my birthday {tomorrow!}, i'm giving away a fancy-schmancy face lift, err, i mean advanced face firming activator! actual face lifts seem so scary {surgery!}, so it seems best just to be healthy and smart and nip it in the bud while i'm still {mostly} young! leave a comment here about why you might need a non-surgical miracle like this and maybe something nice about getting older {please}. the winner will be chosen randomly friday september 18th!

color by letter.

"i make each piece on a sheet of frosted mylar laid over a magazine page. after assigning a color to every letter in the alphabet (numbers are in grayscale, 0=white and 9=black), i apply tiny dots of paint over every character on the page." lauren dicioccio

take away shows.

the arcade fire play neon bible live in an elevator, complete with magazine ripping percussion. this video was directed by vincent moon, who has created a series of take away shows where bands play their songs acoustically in strange places and situations. the one with the animal collective singing into plastic bottles and banging on railings is also quite amazing.

"play it real pretty."

not of the white man, not of the black man.
that will be the day of man as man."

desk reads.

here are 7 online magazines to 'flip' through. chocked full of great info, they are all FREE and won't clutter up your living room.

neet magazine is all about the d.i.y.

prim magazine just came out with it's first issue and has a little bit of everything, including swear words.

slash magazine's tagline reads: a quarterly for the extra observant and is maybe a bit "smarter" than the above two.

art krush is strictly about art. it's like getting artforum sent right into your inbox twice a month.

vice magazine is one that everybody loves to hate, but it's updated everyday and it's writing 90% worthwhile {just don't read the user comments}.

the believer is from the mcsweeny's conglomerate, but it's never updated enough and teases you with half-articles, but they usually have interesting"online exclusives".

harper's is like readers digest for geniuses and you might as well just subscribe to it. it's only 17$ for the year and your guests will think that you're really smart. plus, once you're a subscriber you can read articles on website that date back to the 1850's.
