gareth pugh sculpture 08 cube heads!

trashicist

i love her, think of her often, her medievalisms, occult studies, wedge shoes.
she is getting tons of work and attention and has a suitably jaded attitude about blogging. gareth pugh lover. victoriana.

lagerfield gold lion+BP oil mashup+DJ audrey napoleon

it seems other people are freaking out about the amazing soundtrack too
knight moves
chilly gonzales
gorgeous music!

or try the nicely filmed censored music version!



lovely piano overdub so original music is missing.
and try it with a very nice soundtrack to hide the actual soundtrack for gnarly copyright-freak blockers!!!
sad but concentrate on how quiet and elegant----

today made a song about how the karl lagerfield gold lion has a similar magnetic pull and a parallelism with the BP oil spill.

as i was singing i thought of how they are like two poles of the globe, paris, the grand palais with the magnificent grandiose lion, and the gulf of mexico, with all its amazing symbolism, the earth vomiting noxious hatred for our irresponsible custodianship of the earth and everything is drenched in the blood of chevron's nigeria oil war, the iraq oil wars, the ptsd of soldiers, the torched houses, the gassed civilians, white phosphorus.

the world cries for the oil and the earth, but what about the human beings plowed under the earth for this oil-blood-greed?
vampires, all . . .


this blog was born a few days from the spill. i think there was a tremor in the earth---of fear, indignation, outrage, solitude, terror . . .


and hey you know who is gorgeous is audrey napoleon who spins Avalon in hollywood!

tech stuff! robot talk! high neck t-shirts! she has great fashion! and she was so nice when i told her . . .

a slow journey through cancer to leo

seriously. not that i ever cared too much for chanel. new york times is all over this amazing lion---chanel was leo---and i am sick for this cheesy piano +disco soundtrack at the end---check the gorgeous architecture of the grand palais
and the remake of pseudo couture seventies---and the gold and shimmer

the crimson is grand

the lion appeared in a dream . . .
NYT is anxious to point out how lovely that "new media" will have the word out fast! oh yes we will! how lovely!! karl is the ultimat primate, with so many lovely ladies.
the artist coordinated 50 sculptors to craft the pieces of the lion on a steel frame. the lion surely beats the tour d'eiffel, but i worry it has been disassembled already?????
what is the golden lion's fate?
who made that cute music?

yohji yamamoto at barney's window los angeles

yohji swings the gothic cardinal look.  with all my black scarves lately i was going for a cross between a francis bacon painting, death from the seventh seal, and this cassock concept, or the sleeping beauty witch, my ultimate fashion heroine.

 check this

i love the drapey effect!!!

today thinking more like gothic fey pixie.  oh and limi feu, salut! and rei kawakubo


and check this her protege junya the hair looks like a remedios varo painting or like the recent dior
  Junya Watanabe 

Remedios Varo (1961)”La Llamada” Óleo sobre masonite

dior heaven (i get it the girls are flowers hence the cellophane headress)--this made it in to my collage book too---exciting---and heart surrealism and dada forever

lion at the chanel show

thrilling new man-lion is going into my elaborate new two-sided collage with motifs from a book from japan as francophilic and with lots of glass and turquoise, and lots of hokusai and the horrors and glam makeup and herbs and petals

chanel 09 fall

amazing lagerfield talks about a certain discipline in response to a question over the ecclesiastical tone---i love the severity of the high neckline and the low V-necklines (see fall 09 prada!) and the crisp monochrome---also the deadly bright orange hair

not even everything but yes, overall

inferno: strindberg, bergman red book: jung

thinking of august strindberg, for whatever reason, the scorpio full moon that was, alchemy, an inferno, strindberg and helium, and the mysitcism of the nick maybury aura reminding me of occult things in shadows

Henrik Ibsen kept a portrait of the younger writer above his desk, and is said to have remarked, "I cannot write a line without that madman standing and staring down at me with those mad eyes."


to read inferno again . . .

ane brun my dearest pisces, gillian, renfors, the tiny

held together by rubber bands, holding the dark folk aesthetic clear and strong in gillian's name, i wonder about the grey architecture in sweden, and your castle.  feel funny about what happens when i talk to people like her.  i told her she fixed my broken heart, and i sobbed straight through her hotel cafe gig 2008

and for the art direction of Renfors on ane brun's treehouse song

or here with wendy macneil
whenever that beirut cabaret thing was so fresh and arcade fire
the dark vintage


and vintage annabelle from the grand old opry gillian welch looking so 1940's and serious


and for art direction and  melody

the tiny
clearly living in the fantasies
ala prospero's books
