sigh. not good

i was soooo excited to see "where the wild things are..." and after seeing this trailer... i think it's gonna FLOP. this looks soooooo fucking stupid.

work that pole

i need to get back on that pole and work on my choreography!

amazing!

this is felix crane, 2009's miss pole dance from australia!

come again?

everytime i see this movie poster, i see the word: obese and not obsess. which makes me giggle cause i think this movie poster is an epic FAIL.

it is very cheesy and very tyler perry. that screams home made budget movie. oh well.

one of these days i'll watch dream girls and i'll let you know if i change my mind on her acting abilities.

ha ha ha... brilliant!!! cheaters sometimes do win!!!

grounded love

one of my favorite contemporary sculptors is german artist, katharina fritsch.

the image with the people around it is her piece, but the version i saw at the matthew marks gallery years ago was made entirely of just mirror pogs (no yellow or black) in it.

it's weird, because if you think about it, all it is.... is just pogs in the shape of a giant heart.

but gosh darn it, i almost cried because i thought it was so beautiful.

when you are standing there in the quiet of an art gallery, it might tip you off of any type of emotional equilibrium you are on.

my friend dana a. says that when she finally saw the sistine chapel, she started bawling.


the only other piece that has ever moved me to tears is picasso's desmoiselles d'avignon. first off, i am always shocked at the size of any piece of art i've only seen via textbook. i didn't expect it to be HUGE... larger than lifesize. i sat there on the bench and just took it in.



during the rainy season in los angeles, my backyard went nuts. so in a fit of obsessive thinking, i decided to try and mow the entire backyard... it took me two days to reach the image above...

although i wasn't thinking about katharina fritsch's piece, i thought about it two days later and thought that was cool.


initially, i was gonna try and mow the word CRAZY like in the aerosmith video of the same name.



but if i were to do that, i'd need a shirtless farmer to help me navigate the turns... and i was like, too much time...



so i ended up with a heart...

i've actually re-mowed it so make it a little bit more easy to tell what it is... but i need a ladder to get myself on my roof so that i can photograph it that way before i mow it away... maybe.

it's probably nice for the ghetto birds circling my hood to follow crackhead dealers during drug busts... i wish i had access to it so that i could see my backyard topiary...

maybe if i leave it long enough, i'll see it on googlemaps.

pop culture vocabulary word

chairlift - EVIDENT UTENSILS



the cool term of the day is DATAMOSHING. this is how the chairlift video is styled. i love it. it reminds me of 60's model and sexy icon/artist, verushka.



and the second video of the night is:

bat for lashes - DANIEL

Daniel - Bat For Lashes


it's just soooo beautiful.

absolut mango sex

click on image to enlarge.

i have been hearing great fun things about rupaul's drag race show.... so i decided to catch the first episode to see if it's worth it and i wholly agree. it is fun. i totally recommend it.

http://www.logoonline.com/shows/dyn/rupauls_drag_race/videos.jhtml

anyways, one of the sponsors of the show is absolut vodka, mango.

so every 6 minutes or so, there's a little mini commercial that goes on while it loads to the next part of the episode and i find myself staring at the ad... A LOT.

it's effective because it's so sensual. at first, i couldn't figure out that it was a mango. it was just too sexual and disturbing at the same time... and then once i realized what it was, it made me wonder why they would have used these images for their ad.

i mean, after all, it's a show on drag queens... wouldn't this work better on the spike channel? i initially took it to be very feminine... not gay.

i immediately thought two things: munch's the scream and a developing fetus in the uterus.... and then i thought georgia o'keefe because of the colors. it's so organic.

and then while i was collaging the images together to show you what i mean, i started looking at it again... and then i realized how GAY sex it was...

1. look at the positioning of the bottle... it looks a lot like anal sex.
2. the mango has a giant seed (sperm!). you use the phallic bottle to seed the fleshiness.
3. the word "comes" is exactly at the entrance of the ass.
4. the motto "true taste comes naturally" is sorta referring to bareback sex.

so i stand corrected. this is a very gay ad.

today on the tyra banks show...

so interesting.

the first one is sorta fake i think. but i will say that they all are plausible.

if anything, this will be a good conversation piece.

if you click to the youtube link, you'll be able to watch the other four parts to the show.

lost in translation

someone should tell this dude what molestar sounds like in english.

i know the phrase means don't bother me.... but seriously, i'd bother him to let him know what that means... and then tell him to shave a little bit. it's not a good look for him methinks...

nessie

i was walking to my car when i saw this bumper sticker.

first thing that kicked in was my ocpd (obsessive compulsive personality disorder, not ocd, which is totally different) and i was like, "hello.... it's on crooked."

i read a short story by david rakoff about the loch ness monster.

this reminded me of hope and being silly.

plus, the next day, the owner of the car parked near me and he was hella hot.

is this considered a subliminal message?

is it me or does the wave of rebranding that happened recently gone mad?

i think that pepsi has the best one so far... as patriotism goes... i think that new pepsi logo looks completely like barack obama's presidental race logo!

you can judge for yourselves!

the ride of a lifetime

hanging tough

ladies and gentlemen, i present to you... LADY GAGA!



i have to hand it to her. she puts on a show. she's kinda second rate when it comes to style... probably because she isn't backed up by disney and jive records like christina or britney... but i will say she puts her all in her shite.

i'm kinda annoyed with the fact that my favorite lady gaga song, DISCO HEAVEN, isn't in the US release. only the british. DUMB.

maggie k bought me a ticket to see new kids with her at the nokia theater in los angeles. omg, it was LOUD. the shrieks that stephanie tanner used to do in full house, times 7,000. it was insanely deafening! but enjoyable. i didn't expect myself to jump up and down and scream like a girl at the first beatles concert or setting my eyes on michael jackson.

i hadn't jump like this since i saw hanson on david letterman.

how fine is danny wood? superfine.











so cute. these guys totally aged sexily.

this video makes me smile for the entire 3:44 seconds. and i have to say, i was never a donnie wahlberg fan but i have to say, he's looking fine as well. ha ha ha.

the circus is in town!

great hair, great nude top thing, great song.

music is my boyfriend

i've been on a heavy country music binge. the rule with my alarm clock is that it sometimes get's jostled and then the radio station will change. so when the dial is shifted, i am not allowed to put it back to what channel it was on. the closest channel that is clear gets to wake me up (try to anyways).

for the last several months, it's been on Go Country 105 in los angeles.

things i've learned:

country singers are realllly into one night stands

country singers are very patriotic

country songs make the most romantic/beautiful songs for that kodak moment

tim mcgraw is this close to replacing jeremy piven as the sexiest sonofabitch i've laid my eyes on.

rednecks are kinda sexy when they talk about hot rigging a tractor, soft curing a ham, and all that nonsense you don't really care about because you live in a metropolitan city.

their music videos are about one decade behind... sorry, but they suck. most of them. ;)

sorry this post has links and few direct videos. those country singers keep a right tight leash on their video usage... which i don't get...

this taylor swift performance is FIERCE. so flash dance!
