Going to go from recent to old in this post. So much has happened so lets start with the Vera Wang sample sale:
My friend Monica works for Ms. Wang and invited me to bring a friend and shop. I brought my Houndstooth Tailor Shelby to experience a sample sale for the first time. We found her an amazing cobalt blue sheer silk jacket. Orginally priced at $1,050 to $65.......damn....
The showroom:
Working in my studio. May be going to Peru in July and want to get my jewelry samples for my father to take a look at.This piece is called 'Pesce'. It will be really really long and your supposed to layer it.
I love this piece.
My weekend vision for the store:
A dress that Donna has been commissioned to make: It looks very different now....
A memorial day backyard party that James Mulry has every year. It was packed:
A perfect dusk:
Jennifer Walshe at Listen Space with Fransesco. I caught the very end of it...
I GOT A BIKE! An early birthday present:
I love her....J. Morrison after his performance for the Homebase Residency in the LES:
The piece entitled AIDS IS NOT OVER, was a glow in the dark performance where J. Morrison
wrapped his studio in rope and hooks on the wall. We were all handed paper towels that he screened with the words "Aids is not Over" which he used for the Visualaids.org benefit for their gift bags. As the room became dense with rope it became harder and harder for him to reach hooks from across the room. Reminiscent of relationships that go through AIDS in their families etc....it was heavy....
I like this ladder....
Looking for a bike, didn't find one here:
New shoes for mah birthday. Slow and Steady Wins the Race with Damir Doma leggings....they're for men, but I love them and wear mens clothing alllll the time...
Hung out with Patrick Woods of the Phenominal Hand Clap Band. Nice guy.
I guess Colt 45 is trying to market itself to hipsters, so at the Sunday afternoon party at Studio B they were offering buckets of the stuff for cheap. I did not try one.
But it is Billy Dee Williams approved....The Dune at Studio B for the Sunday afternoon party. DJ Harvey was on, it was bad ass...
Performing for the Homebase Residency with J. Morrison. I used an amp alone, no turntable. It was good. Also part of the piece "AIDS is Not Over". I mostly sat in white noise silence...
Making those coils b-b-b-bounce:
After the show:
BEFORE:
Thomas Bullock or the Rub n Tug. Again doing a stellar set....
Frank Stellas old studio for a show a few days before:
NYC in the dew....
Real Tortise Shell glasses from Vietnam:
Rene Mele looking Fierce:
At a roof top lunch the helicopters were flying aroundand reminded me of the Frank Lloyd Wright drawing of the future:
Right??
Good glasses at the Guggenheim:
Standing in the center of the first floor....
Michael in Damir Doma:
The DJ's:
A drawing of F.L.W's vision of Bahgdad....the land is actually quiet beautiful. Looking at his city plans, I wonder if violence would have been created if they city had been built acoording to his vision. It was lush and thoughtful:
Me in Prada, again....
I actually have never been to the Guggenheim until this opening. It was oddly appropriate considering that the man that built the museum was Frank so it was interesting to see so much of his work, from private homes to public buildings. We started from the bottom to the top, you're actually supposed to see it the other way. But I liked it this way because it led to the building of the Guggenheim. Well done.
