Wunmi and the Ever-Growing P.S.1 Installtion

July 28th, 2007 -- posted in Newness, Where the Heathens Go

I’m exhausted but I know that if I don’t do this now, it won’t get posted. Notice my unyielding dedication to this blog! (cough)
Another fabulous day at P.S.1. After parking the bike, I had the pleasure of sitting in on a low-key rehearsal for Wunmi and it was a great way to lower my […]

Interpol Listening Party - July 11th

Where the hell have I been you say? Working my cute little ass off my dears… someone sane has to plot world domination! But I had to share this with you in an attempt to make up for my lack of attention.
One of my favorite bands (yes, I realize that they are not on […]

I was in Barnes and Noble this afternoon perusing the magazines when I was surprised to come across the latest tattoo magazine to hit the streets courtesy of the people behind Skin & Ink.

David, On Second Thought…

October 5th, 2006 -- posted in Newness, Visuals

Hmmmmm.
I came across a post on a gossip blog a few days ago regarding Courtney Love on the cover of David LaChapelles new book “Heaven to Hell” published by Taschen. Ms. Love is portrayed as the Virgin Mary with Jesus/Kurt Cobain cradled in her arms. It seems someone had second thoughts on the idea […]

Whoa-oh Black Betty!

August 16th, 2006 -- posted in ???, Newness

Well, well, well… I guess it was bound to happen, and so it has come to pass that BettyBeauty has devised a special hair colorant “for the hair down there” (great tagline!), though the thought of it makes me wince. Many moons ago I had a friend who was very proud of her Manic Panic […]

Brazilian Girls - Free Show 6/27

June 26th, 2006 -- posted in Newness, Where the Heathens Go

The only thing that can top summer days are mellow summer nights and you can easily make the transition between the two with the free concert series at the new and improved Hudson River Park. If you haven’t been down there since they’ve renovated then you’re missing out! Go watch a sunset and I promise […]

The Road to Guantanamo - labeled ” Hard to Watch”

June 19th, 2006 -- posted in Newness, Tick Tick Boom, Visuals

What impeccable timing that this movie should be released just when the world is reeling from the recent suicides. I’m really up in the air about whether or not to see it as I am sensitive about the idea of people in authority who need policing themselves, yet I feel obligated to better understand […]
