Apologies...

I knew the day would come to quickly when I would realize that I have not updated my blog for a bit and then I come to the shocking realization that it has been nearly a MONTH!! So sorry. At this point it would be difficult to catch you up on all things I am consumed with so I will just put two things here and then try and play catch up later.

First and most importantly...



Can I get a witness? This is not only two of my favorite things slapped together but one of the best magazine covers ever. I know that sounds extreme but I am not kidding. And in case you were wondering I have scrutinized a lot of magazine covers. I have skimmed the issue and can't wait to read it cover to cover.

Second. I went to MIA the other night and have since been even more fascinated by her entire thing. Her upbringing is wild and I am so interested in her music and message and style and the whole thing. So here is her video to Paper Planes. Incredible song and so worth the Ad Rock and Mike D cameo towards the end if you are a Beastie fan.

Enjoy...

i've also kinda been re-obsessed with MIA since sunday. i don't usually get all up in arms about women public figures, but i think she makes an incredible role model for the ladykind. and what on earth--jude law, luella, steve mackey...? i had no idea.

Hey Dirk!!!! What are you up to these days? Dumb question since I am reading your blog, but really, do you still work at Anthro? or Urban? I miss your sense of humor and all the info on sweet new bands and films:(

Did I ever tell you about how I flipped through the photos in that story, then read this post, and that night had a dream that I became best friends with Marc Jacobs and he said he'd hire me? It was sad to wake up that day.
