Eartha Kitt, New York, 1952

This girl was meant to perform. Karmin with Questlove and Owen Biddle with one of the best covers of “Super Bass”… besides the one with the adorable 5 year old british girl.
I’m sooo on a pop music kick, how did I get here?
well look. at. that. found on dirtyflaws, originally via fashionising.
Douleur. Pain.
This shoot is what happens when makeup artistry goes beyond beauty. That’s not to say it’s notbeautiful, it is; but it’s not beauty as you’d expect from a fashion shoot. Stunningly photographed and directed by Niklas Hoejlund, emotively acted out by model Trine Hyldtoft, brilliantly represented by makeup artist May Næs, every team member pulls equal weight in the successful attempt to etch feelingsonto the skin in splatters of ink.
Hurricane dress by April Johnston. Read more about her next runway show here or click here to see more of her Mangled Courtesan line
I was just listening to a Blogging Project Runway interview with the fabulous PR-alum April, and she talks about her “Hurricane dress”- which is a gorgeous mess of multiple fabrics and layers. She has modeled her own wedding dress on the style, with tons of black and leather pieces. Seriously… if I ever get married, it WILL be in Mangled Courtesan. So sad she has been auffed on All Stars, but this gal is only 22 and already shown her unique style to millions of people, and I hope that fan base can really set off a solid career for her. Of any reality tv star I could see myself best friends with, it would definitely be her! I’m such a girl right now.

Stunningly gorgeous designer, stunningly gorgeous design (aka my future wedding dress) #huzzah
Seal… I’ll marry you. Gosh, what a well spoken, respectable gentleman. What celebrity in the history of Hollywood has ever given such a sincere, proper and warm interview such as this… I mean, the divorce hasn’t even been legally processed yet. I’m impressed. He’s a total dream boat.
</end first and last time I will publicly comment on a celebrity divorce… on the internet.>

Our own Zoe Strauss just opened a “mid-career retrospective” at the PMA, in honor of her under I-95 project’s 10 years. Living in Philly the past 6 years I have rarely felt such pride. Way to go, Zoe!

Yayoi Kasuma, who else?
“The Obliteration Room” at The Queensland Gallery of Modern Art
Built to appear like a typical interior of an Australian home, with every piece painted completely white. Over the course of two weeks, children were invited to run wild in the gallery, given thousands of colored stickers, and the free reign to decorate into oblivion with Kasuma’s signature dots.

Many photographs create diptychs, some times to help unfold a story, sometimes to for a compare/contrast analysis, sometimes to hold up an image that might not hold its own. I always loved the use of diptychs when done thoughtfully, and hadn’t come across a truly spectacular series of them until seeing this today. Check out the rest http://www.frauking.de/
Paolo Roversi
I always come across saved images of Roversi’s that are tucked away, accidentally packed up in some lost folder in my computer. Always a pleasant, beautiful surprise.
