viktor & rolf.

so we all know i'm a fashion whore. and i mean it. give me good clothes and i'll love you tender. unfortunately, i've been so busy with the day job, mister, and other things that i haven't been keeping up with the shows.

fashion week baby!

i decided to spotlight viktor & rolf today b/c for one, who doesn't love the two? and plus, i stumbles across their collection and damn near forgot my own name! i love structure, architecture, and anything with an avant-garde flair. their latest collection (for fall/autumn 2008) made me purr.

i'll post more. ppl are interruptn my flow. heart u!

as i swoon.

for once in my life i truly feel like i'd have sex with a room.

A ROOM!!



Pentagram Architects designed this dope ass, fly ass, sexy ass home theater taking inspiration from Radio City Music Hall and 2001 A Space Odyssey


The theater has a series of round arches, which house 600 five-watt dimmer-controlled light bulbs that provide a light for when you need to find the remote control. And as in the Music Hall, the lights are positioned to glow away from the viewers. Pentagram has designed the theater to function like a TV room, but can also easily accommodate up to ten people. All of the surfaces in the room are covered in orange felt to help with the acoustics, and seating on the floor has been taken care of by Edelman Leather who custom made the beanbags. This house, which also boasts a large private outdoor space looking onto the Atlantic Ocean, recently won an American Architecture Award for distinguished buildings and a Citation for Design in the AIA New York State Design Awards.

madvillain- america's most blunted (koushik rmx instrumental)
i chose the instrumental b/c this is one of my favorite songs and koushik killed it on the production end. i just wish it was longer...i'm a length fiend.



BONUS!!!
a tribe called quest- lyrics to go
how can u NOT like this classic track. and the fact that it samples one of my favorite breaks and songs(minnie riperton "inside my love") makes me love it even more.

Apirat is a pretty dope visual artist and designer. he does a lot of self-initiated work as well as work for corporations and what have you. his work is pretty fluid and i love that. he's up there with chuck anderson (no pattern www.nopattern.com)

**and two of my faves!

4 Months, 3 Weeks, 2 Days.

I hated this movie. Plain and simple.
I paid $6 to watch a shit storm of a movie. Why did this get the Palme D'Or @ Cannes?
Now don't get me wrong, I'm all about "art" and "creativity" and the moving image but his film was slow.
Very slow.
I fell asleep twice.
There was a shot that lasted 3 minutes of my life (a boring shot @ that).
When I think about it now, the beginning was so effing pointless and...

*takes breather*

I just hated it that's all. My roommate also brought up the fact, "You fell asleep on Persepolis too. And the Savages."

I hated both of those movies too. She loved them.
I'd like to think I have great taste in films but those three movies are not worth seeing to me. What kills me is that AFTER i left the movie EARLY, I read the synopsis in the Midtown Art Cinema Movie Guide and I got pissed off even more. They called it "riveting" and a "thriller"...

Thrill these.

I digress.

I hated it.

if you're in LA.
