New Maxiga store location

Maxiga

This is the cutest store on the planet to go for smart and fun little gifts. They have all sorts of wonderful little toys, gag gifts and just creative novelties to make you smile. There is one location at 1204 Lexington Ave (between 81 and 82nd st.), but they have expanded and now have another store at 2233 Broadway (between 79th and 80th). If you have a friend or coworkers birthday and don't know what to get them, I am SURE you will find something here that they will love. Today I bought a book of dirty French words, hehe :X My suggestions is the cactus pens, so cute!! ;D xxo

Peter Woytuk's work on Broadway

I noticed new animal sculptures all over town and wondered if they were a part of a larger project. What an opportunity it must be for Peter Woytuk to have his sculptures displayed literally all down the most famous avenue of all time! Wow. Anyways, the sculptures are pretty cool focusing on natural things like animals, fruits and utility objects. As a whole it has a sort of nostalgia with the animals in bronze, recalling an older time when we actually lived alongside animals compared to only seeing them in zoos now. Its almost like a memorial to the lost species, yet there is Noah's Ark idea that the animals have been immortalized or protected by these metal casts (or imprisoned?). Woytuk uses several black birds or crows in the work as a subject perhaps conjuring the notion of death and the afterlife seen on a larger than normal scale, playing with their proportion. As with the apple symbolism, the crow pecks at the apple perhaps suggesting the death of knowledge or enlightenment. I really enjoy the sculptures compared to the flowers I have seen on Park Ave earlier this year, these have a quirkiness, a question, and curiosity about them. The sculptures will be up along the entire length of Broadway in Manhattan until April 2012. You should see them all! xxo

Happy End of the World!!! (as we know it)

Wow, we are almost in 2012 already. I don't think the Earth will just explode as soon as the clock strikes Midnight on December 31st, but who knows? I think it would be funny if everyone decided on a Mexican theme this year as an homage to the spooky calendar predictions. What will you be wearing this New Years a tux or a sombrero?

A clip from the Film "Mullholland Drive" by David Lynch ...

I love this scene for its conversation on illusions, but also its such a beautiful song..

Llorando

Yo estaba bien por un tiempo

volviendo a sonreír

Luego anoche te vi

tu mano me tocó

y el saludo de tu voz

Y hablé muy bien

y tú sin saber

que he estado

llorando por tu amor

llorando por tu amor

Luego de tu adiós

sentí todo mi dolor

Sola y llorando, llorando, llorando

No es fácil de entender

que al verte otra vez

yo esté llorando

Yo que pensé que te olvidé

pero es verdad, es la verdad

que te quiero aun más

mucho más que ayer

Dime tú que puedo hacer

¿No me quieres ya?

Y siempre estaré

llorando por tu amor

llorando por tu amor

Tu amor se llevó

todo mi corazón

Y quedo llorando, llorando, llorando, llorando

por tu amor

Crying

For a while İ was doing just fine

smiling again

Then I saw you last night

İ touched your hand

and your voice greeting

And we spoke

but you don't know

that İ was

crying for your love

crying for your love

Then, your goodbye

made me feel all the pain

Alone and crying, crying, crying

İt's not easy to understand

that if İ see you again

makes me cry

I thought I forgot you

but its true, it's the truth

that İ still love you

much more than yesterday

Tell me now what can İ do?

You don't love me anymore?

and İ will always

cry for your love

cry for your love

Your love has taken

all my heart

and left me crying, crying, crying, crying

for your love

God is a prankster.

Maurizio Cattelan in W, November issue

Tenga 3D

For all you jerkers out there.... this is pretty cool. Tenga has a variety of products that are on the cutting edge of the pleasure market and seem to be getting better and better whenever they release something new. I love the futuristic design of their products and the thoroughly thoughtful product usage and display. Japan is just so cool !! xoxo

Nicki Minaj by Francesco Vezzoli in W, November Issue

Okay, I totally love Nicki Minaj and I really love the whole concept of this photo shoot, but I gotta say, its not my favorite. Nicki is fun, spunky and so totally futuristic-like pushing the boundaries of fashion and music. I think this shoot goes against that and makes her look totally awkward. She is not a countess or duchess err whatever. She is a bad a** bi$#* from New York!! This goes to show there is too much attention on celebrities and injecting them into every damn advertising campaign. Let a model be a model, let a fashion designer be a fashion designer and singers should stick to freakin singing. Just because you get a star* to get in on a shoot, doesn't mean that it will work. Sowie :/ I want to see Nicki having fun and just being herself, thats what made us fall in love with her in the first place.. xoxo

Spring style already in W, November issue

Im loving these spring looks already. Prints Prints Prints. J'adore Givenchy and Balenciaga!! These models are serving it.

Debbie Harry in Nov. GQ

Debbie Harry looking fierce in GQ November issue. I love the layering layout of the spread and her makeup in the shoot. Its obvious she really knows how to work it in front of the camera and an audience STILL. Take notes kiddies, this is what makes a STAR= Longevity. xoxox

Jaguar C-X75

This Jaguar concept car is really awesome.
