Would You Rock The Overall Trend?

Really though, soooo-eeeee?  I'm not sure how I feel about this.

What do you think about the overall trend?  Would you wear it?

My Mom Is Still Awesome!

"Before the fanny packs and Andrea Bocelli concerts, your parents (and grandparents) were once free-wheeling, fashion-forward, and super awesome."

Eliot Glazer's blog, My Parents Were Awesome, features photos of parents before they were parents, looking very groovy.  Really fun stuff to spend a few minutes of down time looking at. I wanted to share too...so below you can see an old photo of my dad and me, as well as some photos of my grandparents from way back in the day.  I'll update this post with a few more once I find them and re-publish.  Enjoy!

Artist: Mark Khaisman

Ukraine native and Philadelphia based artist, Mark Khaisman uses freaking CLEAR PACKING TAPE to re-create images of all sorts, and it looks so fucking rad, I can't stand it!!

Khaisman calls his work with tape "a conversation with light" and reveals that it all started working with stained glass.  I think it's all genius and I envy his creativity.

He's also working on a more recent project, deconstructing various random images and putting them back together to form patterns...I have to admit those weren't as intriguing for me as the tape art, but still pretty cool.

You can purchase a signed and numbered print for $200 plus shipping + handling.  I can't afford to buy toilette paper right now but I will definitely be bookmarking his site for when I'm rich...bitch.  Just kidding...you're not a bitch.  I was trying to be Rick James, yo.

Amazing...

Ladyhawke: Dusk Till Dawn

When you hide next to me
With your eyes up close to me
I hear footsteps in the dark
When you hijack my heart

Cool breeze down the hall
I can feel you breathe
Outside my door

Bang bang bang
On the wall
From dusk til dawn

Do do do do (2x)

Bang bang bang
On the wall
From dusk til dawn

Do do do do (2x)

Bang bang bang
On the wall
From dusk til dawn

When you sense you’re not alone
And the darkness starts to moan
Who’s There?

Shadows all around
But you don’t make a sound
Voices in my head
Playing like an echo, echo

Bang bang bang
On the wall
From dusk til dawn
Do do do do
Do do do do

 

"Singh" along!

Design Without The Ego?

This cool online shop offers all kinds of fun and interesting works by both established and emerging designers.  Cooper Hewitt, National Design Museum is the only museum in the nation devoted exclusively to historic and contemporary design.  Some of the very best on this site are way too expensive for my taste but fun to gawk at none the less.  All proceeds go toward supporting the museum.

Endless Necklace - $95

A wonderfully simple and beautiful necklace from the brilliant mind of Ron Gilad. No beginning, no end, just closure. Combine two to make a longer necklace, or take it apart and make a bracelet.

Tate Pleats Tote - $52

Kanazu Sen-i's environmentally friendly bags are made using mostly plant- origin materials, which are 100%, biodegradable and do not produce hazardous gases when burned. Materials include a base fabric of polylactic corn fibers, natural cotton threads and buttons made of biodegradable plastic. The fibers are pleated or scrunched to give elasticity, allowing the bags to be folded for easy storage.

Rados Candle - $250

These androgynous figures formed from beeswax are based on wave patterns in the ocean. The flame burns very slowly down the center so they glow from the inside.

 

 

DIY Wall Art Is Way Cool!

So...I am about as broke as they come, so I am always keeping my eyes open for fun and inexpensive ways to decorate my home.  I ran across this article on diyideas.com and there are so many knarly projects I could do for next to nothing!  Here was one of my favorites:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Utilize License Plates as Wall Art

To bring a bit of whimsy to a bare wall, add throwaway license plates (available at flea markets) as an eye-catcher. First map out where each plate should go, and then screw them all to a large sheet of plywood. Hang the grouping on a strong wall.
