Pop-up + Street Culture = Love

Speaking of Pop-Ups, I am dying to get me arse to this gallery over lunch.

Somehow something always gets in the way.

Remember Pop-up videos? This is nothing like that.

insanely jealous that the Kate Spade London Pop-up shop is not my living quarters.

Bright Eyes

Some things last a long time.

I'm in need of a great red lipstick.

While searching, Beach House's Some Things Last a Long Time shuffled on my iPod.

Fitting, as Revlon's Fire and Ice lipstick is one of the most iconic and longest lasting shades in history having been around since the 1950's. It's one of Madison Avenue's legendary ad campaigns.

Your picture is still on my wall, on my wall.The colors are bright, bright as ever.Red is strong.Blue is true.Some things last a long time.Some things last a long time.

i need this snow white t-shirt.

We here in chicago are suppose to be bracing for the "storm of the century" {i just said that in a low and powerful voice.} eh...whatever.

This morning I laughed when I read this guy tweet, "It's important to remember today that cyclones bring you to Oz, while wardrobes bring you to Narnia. Plan accordingly."

Honestly, I'm just not really in the mood to go to Oz today so I decided to jump through the wardrobe and revisit Topshop's Autumn/Winter 2010 runway show from London's Fashion Week this past February.

mmm, me likey.

The Sound of the Sinners

sometimes it don't matter how honest or straight forward or

what your best intentions were or even how right your are....

haters are going to hate.

the bigots, the ex-racists, the fats, the losers,

those that need constant reassurance, and those that have to be right,

they gon' hate because that is all they know.

and that is when you throw your hands in the air and say

HATERS GON' HATE

and walk away.

We won't fight unless we're provoked.

I'm seriously in love right now.

So basically what you are saying is:

Annette-
I've done what I could to try and get you to understand you should be bowing before me. Unfortunately I've decided to find a young naive girl for our PR role that will actually kiss my ass.

Thanks for your commitment, but I need someone who will service me. Often.

If you still want to come stroke my 'ego', please do. Best of luck otherwise. Thanks.

she told me i could never be an actress because of my teeth

Das a lotta booty...

{Kim K for W Magazine}

Gawker just posted these nude shots of her -Photos originating from Egotastic.
I don't buy it. Why?
Why is her face flesh tone and her body silver?
It all just looks a slight bit off to me.

Guess I'll have to buy the mag to find out!

More is More

I spent my Friday night at The Post Family for the opening of Nancy Rosen's More is More and I'm rather tempted to make an appointment for a private showing and pick myself up a piece.

Anyhow, the people at Tremble Tremble spied me during their interview of Nancy Rosen. Can you spy me? Probably not because most of you don't know what I look like.

Oh wait....only my friends read this blog. Waaa Waaaaa

(Click here for the interview as there seems to be an issue with their embedded code.)

And all the pandemonium and all the madness, there comes a time where you fade to the blackness

Line Series No. 01

After 3 years of art stalking this artwork, the lovemate and I are finally purchasing.

I'm really quite thrilled!

It's by Chicago artist Jeremy Ehly

He's your average slacker getting a degree in Bio-Chemistry, working as a Cancer researcher and neuroscientist, then going back to photography and acquiring a Masters of Architecture.

I mean, this guy is like watching the television show Intervention. It's so annoying watching people waste their lives doing nothing while the rest of the world slaves away. {sigh}

Catch Jeremy Ehly's full collection at the gallery on 1932 S. Halsted.

This Friday is 2nd Fridays in Pilsen and is the last night he will be in this space.

Check it.

[title lyrics: B.o.B - Airplanes (Feat. Hayley Williams of Paramore)]

Find me here!

Spy me here this weekend.

Or lurking the gallery spaces in Pilsen for the Pilsen Art Walk.

Ah! I'm not a fan of fall but this could be one of my favorite weekends of the year!
