originally conceptualized for los angeles in 1977, this titular quip from the one and only ed ruscha is coming soon to new york. it will be on w. 22nd street & 10th avenue, right near the highline. this is ruscha’s first public nyc project; a silent soundtrack with playfully distracting vernacular. i don’t drive, but i’ll certainly be strolling by to take a look with my fellow pedestrians. by sv
l’odyssée de cartier, the elaborately conceived film by bruno aveillan, is a fantasy trip where the cartier panther comes to life and travels the globe. cleverly, he makes key strategic stops along the way, in the sales-rich developing markets like china and india; undoubtedly guaranteeing a consistent flow of sales from these new wealth customers.
nicely imagined and shot as only bruno aveillan could. my only criticism is that the obvious pander could have been a bit more artful. by uh

stereophile 101: ok we all know that the weight of a speaker and its components/equipment can substantially alter the sound coming out of them. this occurs mainly due to lack of jitter and aided resonance, creating a tighter base and minimizing vibrations… but hell, i had never seen a stereo system made out of pure marble, now that’s pretty awesome to look at and it can only sound just as sweet… by uh

because those gals, all together (christy turlington, cindy crawford, claudia shiffer, nadja auermann, stephanie seymour, carla bruni, naomi campbell by avedon for versace and by meisel for vogue, 1994)
because yes, avedon was still alive (claudia shiffer & stan nelson, gianni versace ad 1994)
because everyone had plucked, dark painted eyebrows (yes even you, helena christensen. and you, drew barrymore).
because our teen-idols actually had pretty decent behaviors (ya follow, miley?)
because kirsten dunst and I shared a hairstyle
because this movie changed my life
and to end on a nerdy note, because armies of tamagotchis ruled the world.
so, dd aside, are you now convinced? by lil
