Haunting Dreams of Beksinski
Is it weird that I cried today while looking at the works of late polish artist Zdzislaw Beksinski?
That may seem a little strange considering the nightmarish qualities of his creations...like, why would someone of right mind be moved by images so frightening, yea? I don't know...but for me, I felt the pain of a child living in war, the silence of a gagged soul, the fantasy of a post apocolyptic world lurking with aliens, demons, zombies and skeletons.
Beksinski did not title any of his works and claims that there was never a reference or a meaning in relation to his paintings. He also didn't care to know how they were interpreted by his fans and followers. The artist even went as far as burning certian pieces of his own art in his backyard because they were "too personal". Although I find it hard to accept that these beautiful paintings have no story, I like that I get to make up my own meaning...imagine my own story.
Beksiński was never formally trained. He hated silence, and always listened to classical music while painting.
Zdizislaw Beksinski was murdered in his home on Febuary 21st, 2005 by the teenage son of his longtime friend and caretaker after refusing to loan the boy some money.
He will now be on the list of my all time favorite artists along with Salvador Dali and Camille Rose Garcia!
Who is your favorite artist?
Black Friday On A Sunday Morning
The great Klaus Nomi...if you don't know about him, GOOGLE him...so worth it.
I'm sorry for being so absent lately...inconsistent and unreliable. Thanks for sticking around and forgiving me for all of my wrong doings. I love you.
I enjoy Black Fridays so much that I am posting this even though it's Sunday...I just couldn't wait another week to be dark and moody.
Enjoy!

McQueen Funeral Today.
Today, the friends and family of our beloved Lee Alexander McQueen pay their last respects during his funeral in London. We will miss you and your genius. His latest collection is expected to show in Paris, early March...I can't wait.
Attendants included Kate Moss, Lady GaGa and Stella McCartney.
Check out this collection for McQueen's secondary lable McQ...it was originally supposed to be released on the day of his death announcement.
Runway Wednesday: Antonio Berardi
**UPDATE: It's noon and I just realized it's Thursday...not Wednesday. Sorry**
Some pieces in this collection were for me a little "old" but I really liked the sheer fabrics (my favorite trend right now) and all the sweet outerwear. Of course...I did NOT like the fur...c'mon people! Faux fur looks just as good, doesn't it?? Do people really enjoy wearing death? Stooooopid.

Also, I don't usually do this but have you ever heard of SWAGBUCKS? I hadn't until a friend told me that he uses SWAGBUCKS in place of google to search and he had already earned some prizes doing so. I checked it out and I love it. It is so easy to earn bucks...like really really easy. I search normally and I earn atleast 10 bucks a day. Here's a list of things I have gotten so far with my earnings:
1. $5 Ding gift card...they sell skins for your laptop, iPhone, xbox, etc....
2. 12 song downloads from iTunes.
3. Chapstick.

I have only been on SWAGBUCKS for like, a month! So, yea I am serious about recommending you sign up and start earning...I wouldn't post this on my blog if I didn't think it was super cool. Today is also their 3 year anniversary so they're giving out more bucks than usual. I earn bucks if you sign up through my link so hurry...do it!
