the flash was too bright and i lost your eyes.

the dossier launch party (fete-ing miss turner's cover/splendid collaboration with cass bird+daria) was another fun night at the national arts club...[speaking of, i'm getting glad that i've been there twice in as many months-hopefully this is a trend that will keep up.]
since i've been neglecting this whole photo blogger about town thing lately, i thought i'd take a couple scenester photos for you...
of the blindingly white kate Lanphear + friend (both very sweet+silly i might add)..and oliver zahm (who was running around foto-ing every little detail in the joint with his hot babe of the eve) with my buddies angela and leonard...but the top highlight had to be my run-in with a high school best babe-pearl lee! our circles overlap in a serious fashion but we haven't been lucky enugh to glimpse each other for years...a good night.

in the heart of a gold spangled mistress, we got drunk.

monica canilao's epic opening night..too many people to photograph well (+also my camera was acting drunk+wouldn't focus most of the time:(...followed by some fun (+yum) times at roebling tea room.

my art crush is in town.

monica canilao's 'we are dust' opens tomorrow night !!!!!!

as you dear readers know, i've been crushing out on monica's magical creations and her mystical mama ways for over a year now... so obviously, i'm MORE than completely-totally-radically-jazzed to finally get to see and experience her work in person..i anticipate feeling incredibly inspired (and mired with guilt that i'm not painting enough) as soon as i walk into the space.
[full disclosure-i plan to profess my artcrushlove to her at the opening but in reality, i'll likely feel a bit shy about actually doing it when the moment comes..(currently considering that perhaps some feathers and bourbon will help)...]

anyhoo-see you there!

oh and...
here are a few pictures of monica prepping for the show at her studio in oakland, california..
for those of you who've been to my painting studio-you know i can relate to this overwhelming life collage.

(so this one time, i had to sign a release for my fotos to be on celebrity apprentice..)

no big's..
it just my gal lisa (looking mighty-fine-as-always on her primetime debut!) and the (apparently-not-as-nice-as-she-should-be) ms. cyndi lauper shopping at court, with some of my tangled up in blue scene in the background.

p.s. i tried to make this a gif but after hours of uploading+resulting errors, they didn't work out..so sorry but you'll just have to scroll really fast+use your imagination:)
