Comment: Johnny Weir

Fur controversy aside (is there anyone PETA won't criticize?), we have an extremely articulate, and eloquent guy who can see and speak to our higher natures. Love him.



Go Johnny, go!

Art Art Art: Yvonne Lee Schultz

Why do I LOVE it when artists are so naughty with porcelain?

This is the work of Yvonne Lee Schultz, and I love it! A porcelain gun? That would be the name of my bad ass band if I had one. This is absolutely brilliant and confounding, and reminds me a bit of Barnaby Barford's work.
I want to hold one. I really do.

Music: Miike Snow

Addictive. Good music to draw to for me.

Check Out: Nicolette Mason

I love this blog, not just for the stylish aspect of it, but because of Nicolette's personal photos. I love how she captures a charming, gentle and romantic New York in her blog (flowers, cafes and close-ups of personal favorite items), and punctuates them with swoops and dashes of high fashion. My favorite pics are when she shoots food! Very intimate, and extremely charming work, and I'd love to have tea with her!

Classic situation of maker and muse....though which is which I will let you decide...

Kate Earl: Something BETTER from Alaska. Proof that the Northern Lights are not the only beautiful things from The Last Frontier.

Drowsy, sexy, sweet and intoxicating--- her music takes me to my first evenings in Manhattan--- fragrant, stylish cocktails... indulging in French cuisine in the candlelit, sleek lounges in the West Village at 3 am ... gorgeous, exotic young things with names like Lorien and Ericson.

And Gabriel Jeffrey... His photography work is sun-soaked whimsy, with a sort of NYC hipness that meets Malibu casual. Imagine walking into a a very hip vintage boutique and LOVING everything you see. Now imagine that everything you try on makes you look Incredible. Distinct. And so so so coo.


I want his portfolio to be my life. I want to live in his pictures. I've never said that about any photographer.

Ok, this is bad, right? It's not just my imagination, right?



It just seems so...unnecessary, so.. devoid of originality, so...tired. How is that possible when at first glance it seems so cute and weird and fun?

What went wrong?

My father and I were strolling through Central Park, when we heard them playing. My father being a musician, naturally took off towards the source of the song. After we climbed a rock, here were two lads ( I never use this word, but when you see them, you'll see how it fits) strumming their guitars, singing their hearts out.

Dad requested "Michelle" by the Beatles, they enthusiastically complied and I was smitten and filled with joy. That's what they do -- radiate joy. I was joy-smitten. I hope you are joy-smitten with them too!

Please see more of them at bruisercharles.com and if you're in NYC, try to find them in Central Park! Get joy-smitten!

A reimagined Snow White

Her drawings and designs look like objects that I wanted in my dream toybox. How can one create drawings so vibrant with such muted and gentle colors? Amazing.
