a visual collective outlet of inspiration
it was long overdue, but it took berlescuni to bankrupt half of europe, not to mention rob italy before anything happened. not that i expected the italians to get anything done, they have been too busy sipping espressos and chasing skirts since WWII. i suppose we can thank the many pissed off women in italy and the rest of europe for berlescuni’s sad and comical end. we don’t wish for anyone’s revengeful demise, not even a dictator’s, but some sort of jail sentence would be in order, if not for all his crimes for just one of them. maybe the gentle type of sentence dished out to lindsay lohan at least, no? by dd

lame lame lame… lady gaga for supreme
now why would you do that? lame on you man… why would a great brand like supreme, which we all love team up with biggest and most successful pop loser this side of mississippi? this is what scientist would call a genetic disaster of crossbreading brands… a donkey with cheetah. the offspring is bound to be slow and chromosomally deficient… even if geneticist involved happens to be dr. terry richardson. take it off or we’re never standing in that stupid line of yours. by xy

one place that remains true to its form in new york city is the anthology film archives. i myself was there a few months ago at their “garage sale” and managed to pick up some essential literature. this weekend they are featuring some classics from the twenties, including this masterpiece from man ray (with help from our friend marcel duchamp and sculptures by pablo picasso). the original is silent, so turn your volume down and maybe you can understand why at its first screening in 1926 a brawl broke out. nothing says fisticuffs like soft-focus and rayographs. by sv
