dreams do come true and other annoying things.

this image has been floating around the interwebs and blogs i occasionally peek at. i saw "sophia coppola's essentials" [$5000 silk peejays; $1000 cashmere socks...etc, etc, blahbity blah blah for $4500...] and the first time i saw it, i thought hey, okay whatever. but now that i have seen it 5+ times on various sites, i'm like, SERIOUSLY PEOPLE, let's get seryoos - can't we focus on other awesome things? it inspired me to this really awesome "art" piece, please, i am really vulnerable about your reactions to this piece cos i've spent 9+ hours on this huge project of mine. i took me one hour jus to pick the appropriate color in the paint application circa PC's 1990, don't judge my abilities, but i think this is sheer artistic genius:

how cool would it be if these "big" people talked about BIG things? like real essentials?? like something of depth. would that make a shift in consciousness?

don't get me wrong, i love fashion just like the other lady, but the fact that people are finding this "awesome" is just ludicrous.


IN OTHER MORE IMPORTANT NEWS-- A TEN YEAR DREAM OF MINE IS COMING TRUE ON JUNE 16, 2011. I AM FINALLY GOING TO SEE BILL CALLAHAN aka SMOG LIVE!! TEN YEARS, I'VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR LIVE SHOWS & OPPORTUNITIES TO SEE HIM!!! I SOOOOO PUMPED!!!

he has been one of my FAVORITE musicians and lyricists since my first year in college. since i was introduced to him more extensively by a dear handsome friend, jeremiah, i've listened to him every week since.

we got tickets for his LA show and we are tempted to follow him up the coast to big sur where he'll be playing here. [what?!?!?]

read a recent inspiring/fascinating [!!] article on him in the NYT here.
if you have a chance to catch him on this 2011 tour, you most definitely should, seeing as how never tours and may be won't again. look here for his tour dates. that is also where i purchased his album.
