look ma! a giant purse.
chanel takes central park.
Being a lover of both art and fashion I can't help but appreciate how these two worlds intersect. But at what point does it stop being a fabulous marriage and just a gross display of consumerism? First is was Louis Vuitton at the Brooklyn Museum, now its Chanel in Central Park, I'll be waiting with bated breath for Fendi at the Bronx Zoo.

NZ judge backs girl over 'embarrassing' name
(CNN) -- A New Zealand judge has made a 9-year-old girl a ward of the court so that her name can be changed from Talula Does the Hula From Hawaii, the country's national news agency reported Thursday.
Family Court Judge Rob Murfitt listed a series of unusual names that New Zealand parents had given their children, and said he was concerned that such strange monikers would create hurdles for them as they grew up.
"It makes a fool of the child and sets her up with a social disability and handicap," the New Zealand Press Association quoted the judge as saying.
Among the names Murfitt cited: twins named Benson and Hedges -- after a brand of cigarettes; Violence; and Number 16 Bus Shelter.
Some parents had named children after six-cylinder Ford cars, the news agency reported. iReport.com: Do you have a unique name?
The Registrar General of Births, Deaths and Marriages said in a statement that it had rejected names including Fish and Chips, Yeah Detroit, Stallion, Twisty Poi -- a staple food in Polynesian cuisine -- and Sex Fruit.
A lawyer for Talula Does the Hula From Hawaii said the girl is so embarrassed by her name that friends know her as "K."
Last month, a judge in the U.S. state of Illinois allowed a school bus driver to legally change his first name to "In God" and his last name to "We Trust."
But an appeals court in the state of New Mexico ruled against a man -- named Variable -- who wanted to change his name to a two-word phrase that contains a four-letter expletive and expresses opposition to censorship.

reconstituted pop/garbage
Bjorn Copeland (guitarist/knob twiddler for BLACK DICE) is one of my favorite visual artists.
Colorslide 8-layer silkscreen print
run of 16
available here
some of his collage work
selected album covers
in a semi-recent interview with fecalface, Copeland states that his "main influence is just mundane pop culture. Crappy television, pop radio, advertisements. I don't go out to see very much these days."
How fantastic.

The latest installment of V features Naomi Campbell, a larger-than-life personality effortlessly sauntering about in larger-than-life fashion. I remember plastering pictures of Ms. Campbell all over my bedroom walls as a pre-teen in the early 90's and still fully delight in seeing her in editorials because let's face it... she's still one fierce bitch. She's also the perfect face and body for the '08, '09 season where designers like Viktor & Rolf seem to be going back to 80's excess, individualism and idealism, despite the fact that right now our economy is rather post 80's. Perhaps as always fashion is way ahead of itself?
