Skelewags

I love, love, love random public art. The Skelewags are cartoon characters that live among us.

Read about them here.

Lykke Li

I can't stop listening to 'little bit' by swedish chanteuse lykke li.

It is pop-y, dance-y and fun. Listen to the song and watch the video here.

Re-arranging

I have been wanting to establish a dining are in my apartment for the longest time. Trying to cram six people in my tiny kitchen nook around a 36" round table doesn't work so well. I'm thinking about partitioning my living room so the front can house a larger table for projects and dinner parties. I like this, this this and this.

I wish I could get like a danish modern wooden table but I am on a fairly tight budget and anything new will be a splurge.

By request...

I tried to explain this video to a pal tonight. It didn't translate.

For those who haven't seen it this is a video Michel Gondry did for Beck last (?) year. I don't like the song too much but I can watch the video for hours.

Hannah Clark

I am digging these 'saint' pendants from Hannah Clark. I don't know if I would actually wear one.

I'll ponder for a bit. I think St. Sartre is my favorite.

The Hood Internet

I'm a sucker for blogs that have download-able tracks in-line. I'm also a sucker for crappy mashups. Furthermore, I'm a sucker for improbable pictures.

Welcome to The Hood Internet. A place where I can squander away hours, learn nothing, have no sense of accomplishment but laugh consistently at the ludicrousness of the musical combinations. And, the mashup band photos.

I mean seriously, St. Vincent and Mac Dre?!?

R.Kelly and Jens? Kels and Broken Social Scene? R.Kelly with anoyone.

I'm in love.

(Have no disillusions. The mashups are awful. But the entertainment level is towards the end of exhilarating.)

Ulla Johnson

I don't know why stores think that it is a-ok to go straight from holiday wear to spring. I'm not talking resort either. This is straight up spring.

Granted they are the spring lines but it is like 30 degrees and rainy here. It is not the open toed shoe - shorts season.

But I want it to be so I can wear looks like these from Ulla Johnson.

Built By Wendy Patterns

I forgot all about these! I wish more designers did their own lines of patterns.

I want to get this one and make the outfits for the summer. Such a great idea for the sewing savvy.

All Over Coffee

My friend Kate told me about All Over Coffee by graphic artist Paul Madronna yesterday. I like the old fashioned-ness of the renderings with contemporary lingo and themes. I have to figure out where to find it.

My Scary Baby

Free up 45 minutes, grab a glass of wine (i think a cab sauv goes great with fake baby) and the watch this, this, this, this & this.

Let's discuss.

I think these women are the ignored performance artists of our time.
