Karl-ini

All film makers have some competition coming up from an unlikely source, one of the world's most famous fashion designers,  Mr. Chanel himself, the one and only  Karl Lagerfeld.  He has proven he may be able to become a successful filmmaker. At 25-minutes long this mostly black & white film titled  "The Tale of a Fairy" is a great beginning from Mr. Lagerfeld for what his film career may bring to the table in the future. The film was screened at Chanel's 2011-12 Cruise show on Monday night before an audience of several hundred fashion insiders,  it is a story set in a French Riviera Pukey mansion and it shows amazing clothes and relates to socialites who can afford nice things.  The stars of the show are mostly Chanel models but they also included actress Blake Lively, Ms. Kristen McMenamy (one of  my favorite models of all time), Chanel adviser Lady Amanda Harlech & Freja Beha Erichsen, Chanel's current it girl  who happens to play the fairy of the title and spends much of the movie topless!  Karl describes the film as a sort of homage to the legions of wealthy women who grab up his designs, without any thought on how much they cost. "In the movie, they wear dresses from the Chanel collection, so it's kind of a narrative around the kind of women who buys these clothes," Lagerfeld said.   The Chanel creative director has become an  accomplished photographer and  has shot most of the campaign ads for years for the label.  Karl has collaborated with Italian shoemaker Hogan, he's done a series of ads for Magnum ice cream bars too.  Looking forward to seeing more from Mr. Lagerfeld.

The Man

"A man"  This is a really old drawing, this piece was a trip. There were no specifics.  This was done after a hard core party weekend and this is how I felt the following week.  I saw lots of things and I put them together thinking in a new universe.

Fetish

I looked into all the Fall Winter 2011/2012 collections and I still think that Marc Jacobs did the best job at making an amazing harmonious runway with very wearable yet avant garde numbers. His textures are amazing and the colors are exhquisit. I really think this whole Louis Vuitton's, Mr. Marc Jacobs "fetish" collection is the one to watch for this fall. I really loved that he showed 65 reinventions of the label's famed "Lockit" bag, on 65 different models, including supermodels Kate Moss, Amber Valletta and Naomi Campbell, all those bitches still look soooo good!!

Black heart

I was very close to Rozz Williams from Christian Death for the last year of his life..
He was an amazing human, he was jaded, bitter and excepting.
He understood life in a way no one else did,
He made me feel special and he was always there.

He was perceived as someone who he wanted to be, but he wasn't just that, he was much much more.

"Rozz Brain" This piece is a combination of everything that in my mind made Rozz, after he died, my life changed and my universe did a switch, this painting symbolized the end of an Era.  Rozz face is made of black ink, just black ink.

Spoon me

"Spoon me"
This piece had lots to do with acrylic nails and plastic spoons. I will give you the scoop, I had worked making fashion for a clothing company. I was obsessed with clear things.. so I decided to put on some acrylic long ass clear nails. I loved the way my fingers looked. However, typing and living was a whole other world. Anyway.. I had a bunch of extra nails and I made this painting. If you look closer you can see the bitch in it, that would be me and how I felt while wearing my nails :)

Stein all the way

 
Young American's living in 20th century bohemian Paris were the Steins.   Gertrude, the writer, her brothers Leo and Michael plus Sarah, Michael's wife.  These lovely peeps were among the first to recognize the talents of avant-garde painters like Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso. Through their social activities and amazing and important friends they helped spark an artistic revolution. This landmark exhibition draws on collections around the world to reunite the Steins' unparalleled holdings of modern art, bringing together, for the first time in a generation, dozens of works by Matisse, Picasso, Paul Cézanne, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, and many others.  This collection is just making me go bananas!!!  The Steins get to share a rare, in-depth encounter with part of history and the extraordinary people behind the birth of modern art.  San Francisco MOMA is the place to be for this amazing chance to witness first hand the first of the first.  The exhibit starts May 21st - Sept 6th.  GO GO GO!!!
