dov charney: american apparel ads inner workings

 

o.k. this one above is really hilarious! i mean, what the hell is this?

we’re not exactly the vatican or the women’s front over here, and we have no problem with nudity or political incorrectness, but there is something called taste. unfortunately, you cant buy it in LA. i saw this and had to laugh. i must say dov charney has really set a new standard on how low a company will go to sell you environmentally friendly, american made, t-shirts. he makes olivier zahm look like a gentleman. the one nice thing about dov is that not only he poorly rips off terry richardson, both in appearance and exquisite know-how on the inner working of the art of photography, he proudly panders his co-workers into modeling for him. i wonder when will sexual misconduct knock on his door? maybe after the woody allen law suit finally settles over. at least terry to me, is honest and himself, a true artist you can love or hate but this… is pure bullshit… and there is a world of difference. by xy

tarantino: why top gun is the greatest hollywood script

hilarious clip from the movie “sleep with me”.  my favorite part however, remains to be the rap about the party though…“what is this party? who are these people? they make me sick. what is that? who are you? who ARE you? what is he wearing? some kind of like a dance jump suite, freakish, little guacho, lets go to spain and dance with our arms over our heads…” by ar

how to become a narsissist: the new interactive website with the same name as the book, where you can follow instructions and upload your picture for a chance to win 1 of 12 prizes


ok as always we are a bit behind schedule, recovery has its own perils… last tuesday nars cosmetics held their launch event at cedar lake in nyc to celebrate the launch of the book “makeup your mind: express yourself” (good thing there is no tax on word count) and its corresponding social media website makeupyourmind.com. the event was done as expected of nars, fully polished, and star studded with francois celebrity friends. everyone from the cheerful and talented simon doonan, to carol alt, elise overland, and anna sui turned up for a drink and a quick makeover. i ran into the lovely gender bender model andrej pejic who was charming and tall as usual. he looked rather flat next to amanda. the drinks were colorful and cold, i had a couple of champagnes, and eyed the under-lite trays of yellow tale sashimi’s swimming by. the event was from 7-10 followed by an after party which i wasn’t invited to. i dashed out at around 8:30 to make room for the ever flowing fans, as the party must go on… the instructional book “makeup your mind: express yourself” finally available was beautifully design by baron & baron and the website which contains the instructions “makeup your mind” was designed and produced by ceft and company new york by xy
