Communities talking about their homes: BMW Guggenheim Lab

August 3, 2011October 17, 2011

Today at Houston and 2nd Avenue, the BMW Guggenheim lab will be unveiled to the citizens of NYC. This project, which is a collection of designers, architects, artists, scientists, etc, has been established to create roaming “think tanks” that ask communities simple questions about how they live and, more importantly, how they want to live. By pulling together innovators […]

Coffee talk: Men’s Fashion Edition

July 29, 2011October 17, 2011

I have been made aware of the fact that perhaps content on this blog is too gyno-centric. Or, I talk about chick stuff too much. That said, I have invited a few of my readers to help contribute to this – the first post on men’s fashion. Looking at a Men’s Street Wear article from […]

Manchego Rachel

July 26, 2011January 19, 2014

In general, in life, I like meaning. Or rather, I like “things” that have meaning. This is what intrigues, puzzles, and repulses me about contemporary art. Is it supposed to look like that? Does it mean something to the artist? Does it mean anything at all? Am I supposed to get it? And so, even […]

Top 10 Shoe Wish List, Neiman Marcus (Fall)

July 18, 2011October 17, 2011

There is no philosophy or complicated art theory in this post, just a collection of shoes that I really really want but will not get to purchase this fall season. All prices are in Neiman Marcus currency. No. 1: Autumnal Goddess: I love these because you can either wear them with slacks as you demonstrate […]

We still love you, Jenny! Welcome back

July 16, 2011January 19, 2014

So, the news is out on Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony’s divorce, and, to be honest, I am happy. Happy because I think that Jennifer Lopez can come back from “Brave”, women’s razor commercials, and Paula Abdul replacement tv spots. Once she gets herself in order, she is going to Rock! I think “On the Floor” […]

But it’s art… iPlayboy

July 15, 2011

I have talked about nowness.com several times on this blog. I love it and so I must shamelessly steal content that they put out earlier this week. iPlayboy has released a more culturally refined and fashion oriented selection of celebrity favorites from the Playboy archive. From the article: “The idea is to give people another way to view the […]

2011 Fall Fashion Trends

July 7, 2011October 17, 2011

Even though we have 100+ degree temps, why not think about what we’re going to wear when the weather cools down a bit. Besides, sweaters are bound to start showing up at Macy’s any day now. Here are Refinery 29’s predictions for Fall 2011 summarized by yours truly: Brightly colored pants I love this. I also love […]

Red Hot + Rio 2

June 29, 2011January 19, 2014

Brazilian music should be a huge part of anyone’s summer soundtrack. So excited that Red Hot + Rio 2 was released this week. Of course, you can find it on iTunes but thought I would share some music so that way your day can feel less like a carnival and more like Carnival! Here is […]

Cry Me A River — Justin or Michael — you choose!

June 26, 2011January 19, 2014

Who does a better version of “Cry Me a River?” Justin Timberlake, who’s movie “Bad Teacher” placed 2nd on box office sales on Friday night? or Michael Buble?

Mathematical, collaborative, dancing genius — Merce Cunningham

June 14, 2011January 19, 2014

Saying that dance is mathematical is the worst possible thing you could say to an aspiring performer. Odds are, if you are good at barre, you are terrible in calculus. And yet what most dancers and musicians, for that matter, don’t realize is that both disciplines rely on more higher mathematical skills than a marketing professional […]

Las Vegas — Don’t forget the ladies!

June 12, 2011January 19, 2014

This post is the first of my coverage of my trip to Las Vegas. Although I don’t leave until later in the week, I am going to share some of my Las Vegas homework prior and then some photos, videos, etc from the City of Sin later. Let’s first highlight some women who seem to […]

The Phenomonelogy of the High Line (Phase 2)

June 9, 2011November 21, 2012

On Tuesday Phase 2 of Manhattan’s elevated park – The High Line opened. HOORAY!! For those of you not familiar with the project, here is a short summary from highline.org: The High Line was built in the 1930s, as part of a massive public-private infrastructure project called the West Side Improvement. It lifted freight traffic 30 […]

Unfortunately… Shakira [Rabiosa]

June 7, 2011January 19, 2014

So, I really want to maintain my love affair with Shakira. I really do. When I saw her at the W Hotel in Barcelona this past fall in her black mini dress and ridiculously high Christian Louboutin stiletto knee boots, she was so adorable standing there like a little princess on stilts. She is, indeed, […]

My feather fetish continues

June 5, 2011November 21, 2012

I made a plea for post ideas this weekend and received one from my LA-based artist friend Diana-Sofia Estrada. Thinking I was going to get a mental challenge, I was surprised when she answered with one simple, glorious word: shoes. How can I resist? So, in keeping with my feather fetish as epitomized by my […]

Oh! To dress for the French Riviera (hot glue guns encouraged)

June 1, 2011November 21, 2012

So although I have already started planning for my upcoming trip to Vegas and the opportunities I will have to wear those red feather high heels that have been sleeping in my closet since I bought them 4 years ago, that fashion opportunity pales in comparison to the GLEE of calling up your best friend fashion […]
