ART AND ABSINTHE
LAST NIGHT MY DEAR FRIEND OLIVIA OF HIGH-RISE HOSTESS FAME INVITED ME TO THE OPENING OF THE 2011 ARMORY SHOW AT PIERS 92 & 94, AS WELL AS THE AFTER PARTY AT MoMA. I CHECKED OUT THE SHOW AROUND 7PM, AND REALLY ENJOYED WANDERING AROUND LOOKING AT ALL THE DIFFERENT BOOTHS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD AND LISTENING TO EVERYONE SPEAKING FRENCH, GERMAN, SPANISH, ETC. ISN'T IT AMAZING HOW YOU CAN TELL THE BRITISH ART DEALERS FROM THE SWISS, OR THE FRENCH, OR THE ONES FROM LOS ANGELES. PRETTY COOL, REALLY. I FELT LIKE I WAS ON A VACATION, OBSERVING AND LISTENING. IT GAVE ME SOME WANDERLUST. THE ART WAS OK, I TOOK SOME PICS OF A FEW THINGS I DUG. I MOSTLY LIKE PHOTOGRAPHY.
ELENI MET ME FOR THE AFTER PARTY AT MoMA AND TOLD ME A SECRET THAT I'M THRILLED ABOUT. I SAID I WASN'T GOING TO DRINK, BUT WITHIN 5 MINUTES I HAD WINE IN MY LEFT HAND AND ABSINTHE IN MY RIGHT. "NO, NO, NO ALCOHOL FOR ME THANK YOU.....OH WAIT...YOU HAVE ABSINTHE? OH YES I'LL TAKE A FEW OF THOSE." I'M HOPELESS. ANYWAY, IT WAS A LOVELY TIME, AND THE PARTY WAS DONE BEAUTIFULLY (WELL DONE OLIVIA). THERE WERE SOME CRAZY OUTFITS THOUGH. YIKES.
EXCUSE ME, BUT I THINK YOU HAVE A LITTLE LIPSTICK ON YOUR, ER, TEETH.
CHECK OUT THE VERY FIRST ISSUE OF THE NEW ANNUAL PUBLICATION EXHIBITION MAGAZINE. THIS IS THE LIPSTICK ISSUE. AND BY "LIPSTICK" THEY MEAN "ANYTHING THAT SMEARS EASILY ON BARE BREASTS."
OSCAR NIGHT
LAST NIGHT WAS OSCAR NIGHT, AND WHILE I PRETTY MUCH DIDN'T SEE A SINGLE MOVIE THIS YEAR, I STILL HAD A BLAST WATCHING THE DRESSES AND THE CRAZY SPEECHES. MOLLY AND NICO HAD US ALL OVER FOR CREPES - HAM, GRUYERE, SMOKED SALMON, CREME FRAICHE, MUSHROOMS, ONIONS AND THEN , BANANA, STRAWBERRIES, AND NUTELLA. DANA MADE ARTICHOKE DIP, AND SOMEONE BROUGHT CROP CUCUMBER VODKA, WHICH I DRANK ON THE ROCKS FOR HOURS. WHAT A LOVELY TIME WE HAD!
PENELOPE CRUZ, THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN IN THE WORLD, AND HE HUSBAND JAVIER BARDEM, THEN SEXIEST MAN ALIVE.

UMMMMMM.......I'M NOT SURE THAT I NEED TO SAY MORE THAN THAT. MULTI-COLORED STUDDED LEATHER BUSTIER WITH STRUCTURED SHOULDERS? I NEED TO FIND THE PERSON WHOSE BRAIN THIS THING CAME OUT OF AND MARRY HIM/HER. THESE PHOTOS ARE FROM VOGUE PARIS MARCH 2011 - SOME VICTORIA'S SECRET MODELS PHOTOGRAPHED BY INEZ AND VINOODH.
BY THE WAY, THAT'S WHAT I WISH MY HAIR LOOKED LIKE. WELL AND ALSO LIKE THIS PIC, WHICH IS THE EXACT ONE I SHOWED MY HAIRDRESSER WITH THE VERBAL DESCRIPTION: "I WANNA LOOK LIKE I SHOULD BE ON A POSTER, SITTING ON THE HOOD OF A RED CORVETTE, WITH A WET WIFE-BEATER ON." OH LORD I'M CLASSLESS.
PETIT POURS
I'M GOING TO VENTURE TO SAY THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SIGHTS I'VE EVER LAID EYES ON. I'VE NEVER SEEN PASTRY APPROACHED IN THIS WAY! THEY LOOK LIKE LITTLE SQUARES OF WOOD WITH A RAINBOW OF PAINT POURED OVER THEM. I AM SO INSPIRED!

I BE BACK
AFTER A PROLONGED HIATUS FROM BLOGGING, I AM BACK. YES, BELIEVE IT. AND DON'T ASK ME WHAT I WAS DOING ALL THIS TIME THAT I COULDN'T BLOG, BECAUSE I CAN'T REMEMBER. DRINKING CHAMPAGNE? OH YES, THAT WAS IT.
I WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU MY CURRENT MUSICAL OBSESSION: BIG JET PLANE BY ANGUS AND JULIA STONE. I HAVE BEEN QUITE LITERALLY LISTENING TO IT ON LOOP IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL. I'M ALSO DEVELOPING A LITTLE CRUSH ON ANGUS. HE REMINDS ME OF THE DRUMMER GUY FROM THAT FRENCH FILM WHEN THE CAT'S AWAY. ALTHOUGH ACTUALLY I DIDN'T THINK THAT GUY WAS HOT, SO I DON'T KNOW. REGARDLESS, I'M DIGGING HIM AND THIS SONG BIG TIME.
