NEW LINK IN MY LIFE: Design Scene

10 Apr

I’ve added a new link to a blog I found called Design Scene. I like it cus it’s possible to flit across many fashion photo spreads with the greatest of ease.

I like that it gives a point-form breakdown of the stats, and also links to to other spreads you might like at the bottom.

Here’s one that I’ve been drooling over repeatedly: Prada Womenswear Spring Summer 2010 photographed by renowned fashion photographer Steven Meisel. It is all so gorgeous I can barely stand it.

(But somehow I find a way.)

I absolutely love the sleek retro-California beach vibe mixed with a whole lotta 1940s glamour. The photgraphic patterns are am-a-zing!I love the way the sheer fabric appears so structured and futuristic. Almost like it’s partially invisible.

Having grown up with a lot of relatives in California, I have a weakness for patterns with palm trees, sunset themes, beach scenes and tropical flowers. Classic California prints are so blissful, but with a hint of dirty seediness.

The blissful aspect reminds me of my gramma.

I need to explore the seediness more.

And I really dig the hard lines on the leather jacket/pants set in the second-to-last photo. Brilliant counterpoint to the other designs, which are very sexy and feminine.

It is only a matter of time until I own those sunglasses.

Happy flitting!

WTF IS THIS? New LCD Soundsystem “Drunk Girls”

9 Apr

Ugh. This song is terrible. Can someone please massage me until I forget the past three minutes, thirty five seconds?

It’s vapid, it’s derivative, it’s campy, it’s soulless… and it’s also just not a good song.

Hate it.

It is NOTHING like Someone Great.

James Murphy told us Pitchfork the song is “about drunk people and fun things and the fact that all of the boys of the L.A. mansion we recorded at were called ‘the girls’ by our chef. We were the ladies of the mansion.”

Uh, what?

May you have better luck with the track.
