keep breathing or it will seem like forever

Ciao, como estai lovies?

I'm having a grrrrreat weekend. I just fold into my weekend time. It envelops me and its cozy and rejuvenating and consciousness altering. Let me explain...

On Friday night I was asked to spin at The Reformation. Its this vibey boutique on W. 3rd St in Los Angeles. The lovely, gorgeous, funnnnyyyy Kelly Michelle Walker hit me up and was like, "yo, can you?" and i was like, "wordlife" and she was like, "challlllll". When I walked in Ms. Jen Rae and Ms. Katie Raines were there trying on cute clothes and getting fitted for things and being fabulous just standing there, mostly. It was such a lovely suprise!! So, I basically played THE JAMZ. Anything girls who love R&B might just lose their minds to. Plus I got a cuh-yuuute new top. Called Boo. So, there's that.

Thennnnnnnn Saturday was epic. Epically long. And just full of all kindsa people and activities and music and old friends and new friends. I spent the whole darn day with my old dear friend Mika. He's a Brooklynite and you should really look him up if you're out that way. He's a gem. He holds this event? festivus? bbq? I dunno whatver you want to call it, its a good time. Its called Consumption. It's held at his father's metal works. His father is brilliant. We watched the Labyrinth on a projector. We watched three bands. I spun during every break.. all kindsa stuff. I felt like I was making a scrapbook of all these different genres and feelings and moments. I'm discovering that DJing is not something I want to let go of just yet. In fact, I think I'm falling in love all over again.

This morning was yoga on the bluff with Dharma. Serious hangtime at portfolio. Then FLOORRRRRSETTT! Ew.grrrr. Looks like I'll be a vampyre in the least sexy sense of the word for the next few days. I'll keep you updated. I'm always happy with the end result, the process is just wronggggguh.

Anyway... fashion, right?! Pretty babies in pretty frocks? Ok, you got it.

Milla Jovovich was on the cover of the Los Angeles Times Magazine this past week. I kinda die over her. Something in her eyes. She's just dreamytime.... take it slow.

inkahoots.

i was hipped to this artist, debbie grossman. her work, 'my pie town' is based on farm security administration photographer Russell Lee's classic 1940 portrait of Pie Town, New Mexico, grossman appropriates and photoshops Lee's photographs to re-imagine Pie Town as a homestead community populated exclusively by women. (insert chill vibe here)

grossman's website is also worth checking out for a few more pietown images and a sad but moving work that's a poignant tribute to her mother.

it's like this and like that and uh

cast some light, it will be alright.

just been thinking about what light does. what faith does. what prayer does. how this transcends the physical and spiritual worlds. i always return to the image to better explain my heart. i have long been a a subscriber to the school of thought that believes that words consistently fail to accurately explain emotion or even what is 'real', being that they are a construct of man and therefore subject to human subjugation, etc. what we see, music we hear, things/people we touch... just works.











till next time,
bisous,
g.
