fashion police

Do you watch Fashion Police? I'm borderline obsessed with Joan Rivers (and they have segments called "Guess me from behind" and "Starlet or Streetwalker").

travel envy: montreal

I've been totally enamored with Anthony Bourdain's new show, The Layover. A recent episode had Tony enjoying bagels, farmers markets, food bookstores, smoked meat and orange juleps that is a small part of the beauty of Montreal.

museum of the moving image

Image from here.

The Museum of the Moving Image hosted a super fun exhibit on the work on Jim Henson. I especially like the footage of the his early commercial work, like Mr. Linit (below):

More info on the exhibit here.

brooklyn museum

It's pretty dumb that I haven't visited the Brooklyn Museum until now (and by "pretty dumb" I really mean "downright idiotic"). My mom and I went to see the final show from the winner of Work of Art (I think we might be the only people that actually watch this show) which was by far the the least interesting thing there. The museum was amazing - from the temporary installation by Situ Studio (below) to the incredible, super famous Dinner Party by Judy Chicago, we were blown away. If you've never seen The Dinner Party in person, it's truly one of the most special pieces I've ever seen.

All photos by me.

evergreen winner

Heather sent me a photo of herself in the shawl she won - looks great! (photo by Anna Hurley)

Oh - and there is a pretty funny interview with Isaiah Mustafa (aka the Old Spice Guy) on NPR. Click here to listen and here for a bevy of You Tube videos where he personally thanks individual fans. Hilarious!

third and delaware

Third and Delaware is an entire Tumblr site dedicated to the awesome 90's fashion of Rosanne. Check out Sandra Bernhard's saucy leopard number!

nine-oh

I'm a little embarrassed to admit that I've probably seen every episode of Beverly Hills, 90210 so when I found these European display windows, I was more than a little excited. I think Dylan is my favorite (he's soooo deep...):

pee wee's playhouse

I loved the live version of Pee Wee's Playhouse so much, that yes, I might want to marry it.

lost underground art show

I'm usually not a big tv watcher, but I love LOST. Unfortunately, I just found out about the now closed LOST underground art show at Gallery 1988 but here are some of my favorite pieces...it will have to tide me over until February 2nd when the last season premieres!
