“Gloria” directed by husband John Cassavettes, was one of my favorite movies when I was a teen.

Since a few years now, I don’t wanna do exhibitions, considering that it’s not anymore a pleasure to create unique pictures, not telling a story… I know I will change my mind one day, especially when I’ll be older and when I’ll be living in that countryside house with a great garage I could transform into a big studio. I would sleep in it, eat inside and gather my girlfriends for tea.

UNTIL THEN… I went up today to see my friend Adeline, owner of the gallery for lunch and a lil girls talk. I am not a super super fan of Swoon’s work usually, but I felt overwhelmed by her art as soon as I got in.

Her moneyless installations of cardboard, artwork mixed with cut-out paper meant a lot. Volume and a comfy sensation was created by artwork superpositions and space organisation. I really loved it. There’s a portrait of her father, he is beautiful, you can feel the love it it.

I drop a few pictures, but it’s really cool to see it with your own eyes to get the real feel, aight ?

UNTIL THE 4th DECEMBER !!

“Well it may be gray and gloomy outside today, but our Summer 2010 collection has arrived just in time to heat things up! This particular line was influenced by the vibrancy of Jamaican culture, giving nods to all our MOB Rude Girls and Sister Nancy’s out there. The lookbook was modeled by fiery starlet Faye Reagan, a real-life rude girl who by the age of 21 has already created a new standard within the adult film industry. Saucy mascot or not, the collection remains subtly sexy and focuses more on fun, laid-back pieces, like airy tanks, boyfriend tee’s in bright colors, striped beach dresses, and even a see-through tote to throw it all in. For those who prefer their summer with a little more glamour, we’ve also included a floor-length maxi dress adorned with an MTTM chain print, a gorgeous accent for bronzed summer skin.”

Also, they produced this short film to present the collection….

Right now, If I had to buy an artwork for my flat, I would defintively get a design piece which has certainly something to look at but also to live with.

BUY THOSE HERE !

Whatever… Here are some extracts from the blu-ray DVD’s you can buy online, explanations for each movie goes like this : “Girl in Miss Sixty leather pants stuck in snow with Nissan 350 Z, pedal pumping” or “Jill & Sue in riding boots make carstuck & mud wrestling“. Fabulous, Fabulous…

There’s no need to explain why I love Amandine Urruty’s work, I came upon pictures of her first show in Toulouse with an installation of a Tampax kennel and all her beautiful handdrawings hung on walls. Amandine is also working on a comic right now which is also one of the things I am dying to see around the next couple of years….

of course we didn’t need a circle, but this is the only picture I’ve found
