I just finished a 4-hour long documentary on the Medici. I feel like I'm smarter than Einstein and all Asians combined!! Anyway this was the homework for last week. I just made a few tweaks to it. I took out her 80's purple eye shadow, put hooker eyelashes, made her eyebrows brunette and made her lips less pouty. I got an A-

Mixtape #7 Crushin'

2011-04-26T17:41:00.000-07:00

When your friends are done with you talking about the way he chews his gum, here are eleven tracks to listen to when you're crushing on someone.

Crushin' - Police Academy 6 (Feat. Cherub)
"Strawberries, my favorite fruit.
I'd like to eat some with you."
Bette Davis Eyes - Kim Carnes
"She'll let you take her home. It whets her appetite."
Favorite Colour (Punches Remix) - Tokyo Police Club
"So tell me what's, tell me what's your favorite color.
Tell me how's, how's your younger brother.
Tell me what's the first, very first record you owned."
Kick Drum Heart - The Avett Brothers
"It's not the chase that I love, it's me following you."
Young Folks (Peter Bjorn and John Cover) - The Kooks
"All we care about is talking. Talking only me and you."
Just a Boy - Angus and Julia Stone
"Girl, you make me wanna feel things I've never felt before.
Girl you make me wanna feel. Did I say I'm just a boy?"
Let My Love Open the Door (Pete Townshend Cover) - Sondre Lerche
"Love can cure your problem. You're so lucky I'm around."
Toothpaste Kisses - The Maccabees
"Lay with me. I'll lay with you. We'll do the things lovers do."
Digital Love (Daft Punk Cover) - Alphabeat"The time is right, I put my arms around you.
You're feeling right, you wrap your arms around too."
Two Weeks in Hawaii - Hellogoodbye
"You've got Polaroid, and you even know how to rhyme.
I'd be overjoyed if we could hang out some time."
Girl All the Bad Guys Want - Bowling for Soup
"'Cause she's watching wrestling. Creaming over tough guys.
Listening to rap metal, turntables in her eyes."

from Sixteen Candles heehee!

Having a Coke With You

2011-04-25T15:04:00.000-07:00

HAVING A COKE WITH YOU

is even more fun than going to San Sebastian, Irún, Hendaye, Biarritz, Bayonne
or being sick to my stomach on the Travesera de Gracia in Barcelona
partly because in your orange shirt you look like a better happier St. Sebastian
partly because of my love for you, partly because of your love for yoghurt
partly because of the fluorescent orange tulips around the birches
partly because of the secrecy our smiles take on before people and statuary
it is hard to believe when I'm with you that there can be anything as still
as solemn as unpleasantly definitive as statuary when right in front of it
in the warm New York 4 o'clock light we are drifting back and forth
between each other like a tree breathing through its spectacles

and the portrait show seems to have no faces in it at all, just paint
you suddenly wonder why in the world anyone ever did them

I look
at you and I would rather look at you than all the portraits in the world
except possibly for the Polish Rider occasionally and anyway it's in the Frick
which thank heavens you haven't gone to yet so we can go together the first time
and the fact that you move so beautifully more or less takes care of Futurism
just as at home I never think of the Nude Descending a Staircase or
at a rehearsal a single drawing of Leonardo or Michelangelo that used to wow me
and what good does all the research of the Impressionists do them
when they never got the right person to stand near the tree when the sun sank
or for that matter Marino Marini when he didn't pick the rider as carefully
as the horse

it seems they were all cheated of some marvelous experience
which is not going to go wasted on me which is why I am telling you about it.

-Frank O' Hara

How to Fold a Longchamp Pliage

2011-01-07T20:38:00.001-08:00

I'm a big fan of this bag. I have two. A pink one with a small handle and a blue one with a long handle which is totally ruined because I went to the beach with it and accidentally placed it on dog poop. So, if you see me wearing it, run. It still smells. Even after a month.

The font I used is Jersey Stories. Get it from here.

An Homage to Stephen Sprouse and Louis Vuitton

2010-12-15T11:53:00.000-08:00

The Stephen Sprouse was a collection back in early 2009. I actually had the privilege of seeing some of the pieces before they were released to the public. They're really really cute and really really expensive.

The Reason Why I Am Anti-social

2010-12-12T09:53:00.000-08:00
