¡claro, a que me gusta! puedo más claramente ahora ver

i've been working on the besosyfotos book all day today...it's getting muy bueno. but it may still take a few more edits to get it perfect+affordable for selling..i'm hoping to get a draft finished by the end of the week+send it to print by this weekend..fingers crosssed
anyhoo, in doing all sorts of trekking through my ifoto, i turned up a TON of fotos from madrid, which i never got around to blogging (perhaps you remember, i had to get myself out to new mexico fantastico for weddings immediately upon my return)..so i thought i'd share some with you.

+ yes, this is more wishful thinking about summer. sometimes it's good to look through sunshine filled, short shorts pictures when the sky is grey and dripping...st this point, i am so looking forward to packing my new chanel flats for their maiden voyage to españa......because we just found out that mi senor's hermano will be getting hitched this summer in mallorca (majorca)!! i'm so fucking jazzed-i've always wanted to go to a spanish island:).....

**perhaps, you could come meet us--you know who you are--i'll be there in the middle/end of june..my dream is to spend some time in the basque region, go back to barcelona for a few, see the island, AND get to know madrid better..(a long to do list, as usual)..

the human equalizer.

fotos from saturday afternoon's art collaborative, which was shot on our roof...we are to become a film by a nice guy (link coming soon).
stills by adam on my iphone
p.s. my quads are still sore..oi vey. got to get back to some exercising..

cadillac grills, dexedrine pills, photoshop skills.

finally back from loads of familytime in jersey+georgia + now, here in brooklyn, i'm finally back on my meds+ back to work- i've been photoshoppin' all day (or trying) for the COURT show... tentatively called 'tangled up in blue'.
i've spent loads of time on lots of ass, old cars+assorted detrius of northeastern/southwestern adventures..here is a sweetass to ponder as i carry on..
(p.s.doesn't this make you long for some summertime swim?!)

oo la la...

might have to have these little chanel cuteE's..this afternoon, i heard the infamous sounds of brooklyn summer..it went above 50 degrees today+it's clearly time for ice cream trucks+new strappy spring shoes..
**addendum..i won them (albeit for more than the $50 starting price but c'est la vie, la vie de chanel).

her saturday morning funnies..

(click to enlarge)
i can't remember whose blog i snagged his from..but it made me feel rather glad...i've been wainting for some fotos to be hung for quite sometime and mi amor has been waiting for me to cook tacos..c'est la vie. i might eat a brownie)

a night alight, unfortunately the drinks weren't free.

here's a teensy slice of the armory show opening night preview that went down on wednesday...i was lucky enough to get an invite through ms. barthelme..so i tossed on my chloe's to go get some a. kapoor, arbus, or rather, just take some crappy iphone fotos+drink champagne+sangria. that. we had to pay for-thumbs down. i give the economic downturn a fail when it comes to no more booze at openings..

oh+speaking of saving money. i did not purchase the damien hirst i've coveted for ages. because, you see, upon viewing it in person, i realize, i should + could fairly easily/probably just make on my own. while kat put in an order for the wire hanger imprint on cardboard...easy peasy. hmm, perhaps, that's how to make a buck..start imitating easy art+sell for cheap.

p.s. art is so f-ing subjective, or maybe it's taste that i'm curious about. bad taste... all i'm saying is there are so many ways to waste a lot of money (not that i'm one to talk but still) there is certainly some seriously curious crap over there.

p.p.s. one of the installation highlights was this subdued man in a trench (top foto) holding a full length royal blue faux fur grover coat for his someone special, while she was in the ladies..priceless.

p.p.p.s.please see kathleen's genius dinner outfit accessory-her bowtie really steps up the everyday t+jeans combo. godspeed woman!

p.p.p.p.s.vintage wool dress from circa now, h+m tights, vintage (5inch long) afghani earrings, chloe's

a dream of a way of life not my own

if i could afford a 50,000 dollar couch, it may well be this one on view at the armory show...i would love to nestle up in the crook of this rabbit greatness with my sunday times..i'd be more than happy to take the blinking love installation as well.
sugar momma/daddy..art grant. anyone.

southern star

finally back from the south..unfortunately, it was a longer trip than intended, due to the snows that conquered the east coast by storm...i've never been so happy to touchdown at laguardia--possibly ever..(to give you an idea of why-someone yesterday was trying to get real with me about the war of northern aggression..i.e. "the civil war"..wtf?! that's not how i get down)
anyhoo, i took a ton of polaroids-so hopefully i'll be able to scan those + get them up soon.
**but in the meantime-check out my favorite new accessory: haddy's STARcap!!! i want one so bad.

dress up+bro down

the purge party was a success, not a smash $uccess-but surely+truely a divine time for all who came...ginger cocktails, banter, trading, bestowing, buying, bowls, + dried cherries...
many more fotos to show you..but not now..now, all you get is this darling foto of my lady bringing the whiteheat of whitelightning to east billyburg..
apologies for the lack of fotos--you'll have to subsist on lots of virtual besos, for now..(you see, this was shot on mi senor's fancy pants camera+not my simple point+shoot, as it's still broken:(.. +well-it takes longer to upload+whatnot..)+i gotta go to bed as i got a wicked pinched nerve in my back 2 days ago+early flight out.
going to georgia manana for my mum's birthday+a visit with my grandfather+relatives+little lucas!..i'll be shooting loads of polaroids. hopefully, i'll show you some when i get back.
xL
p.s. i might shoot some kinda shotgun this weekend--stay tuned.

underground at the tribeca grand.

i finally picked up the moschino vintage top at the post office (which took an hour+a half!! i'm just saying-there should really be a better system..6 windows with 3 people working+a line out the door/sheesh)..anyhoo, i wore it to the samantha pleet party (which morphed into the surface to air party) with a faux fur vest by phamous+ yellow h+m skinny's+ vintage combat boots...a comfy+fun outfit for what turned into a wild ride of a night.

watch it twice...

seriously.

my closet overfloweth..so i'm hosting a

hey hot stuffs,

i am hosting a spring cleaning sale this sunday (+maybe monday)..
:feb. 22(+23)
:7-11pm or so.

feel free to bring some friends (but no straight dudes-it's a try on party) + any clothing/jewelry/shoes/small junk you want to get out of your apartment!!...along with booze+some cash...
+on tuesday, i will call a charity to come pick up the detrius.

i'll likely be setting up a few different zones..
-clothes swap pile
-.$10 fill a bag
-reasonably priced jewelry+shoes+clothes--from $5-$55.

*really it's an excuse to have all of you over, have drinks, play dress up+purge our closets of unnecessary belongings...

**while hopefully making off with some vintage (and some new) treasures.

***win-win all around.

mass.august 2007.

oi vey. i've been organizing negatives, filing, editing+scanning for the past 4 days. the COURT show is rapidly encroaching+i'm in the midst of a digital crash course.. but i gotta say, it's getting good folks...(not the photoshop skills but the editing.)
so, get pumped to go to a fun foto show soon!
(i'm gonna try to make a catalogue too--we'll see how it goes)
