A week ago. Me and Pete at the opening of Damon and Paul McCarthy’s “Rebel Dabble Babble” (the title is supposedly a dig at James Franco, who appears in one of the videos) at the Box gallery in L.A.

From the L.A. Times review:

“His newest work, “Rebel Dabble Babble,” takes his great subject — the emotional anguish of being stuck in a rut — to new heights, fleshing it out with psychological nuance and queasy empathy. Made in collaboration with his son Damon, the loaded show occupies every square inch of the large downtown gallery run by his daughter, Mara. The family values that unfold in “Rebel Dabble Babble” are worlds away from those trotted out by politicians who pretend that America was at its best in the 1950s — and that the clock can be turned back.”

Watching the #eclipse from the summit of Capulin Volcano National Monument, NM. For a moment it seemed the clouds would ruin the view, but they broke just in time, clearing to show the moon inching in front of the sun until it was almost completely obscured. Truly epic vision un-capturable on camera (without frying my lens, that is).

I only wish these were metal, not paper. Still a lovely idea.

Got a Girl Crush On: Paige Smith and her Urban Geodes

Artist/Graphic Designer, Paige Smith has been a busy little bee installing these paper gems all around Los Angeles for her latest art project called ‘GEODE’.

The 3D paper sculptures are placed into existing spaces to mirror natural mineral formations. If you follow the link here, it’ll take you to a map the artist provides so that you can hunt down one of these urban treasures yourself.

I don’t really care that this is the “first-ever Instagram high-fashion shoot by Nick Knight.” I do care that it has kittens.

One of the few things I bought in Seoul last week were a bunch of these collagen face masks from The Face Shop. Apparently women in Korea use them 3-4 days a week and they are good for you. I have a big supply now, so I suppose time will tell.

Givenchy Couture Spring 2012 is just so subversive.

It’s bondage, it’s a jeweled chador, it’s even a high-fashion Hannibal Lecter moth in the mouth.
