Highbrow Fuckery at Its Best

This is the high class bullshit that i live for.
This Tuesday at the Louvre in Paris an Angry Russian Woman pulled a teacup from her purse and threw it at the Mona Lisa.

*PLEASE LET THAT SHIT SINK IN*

Now while I was not at all impressed with the Mona Lisa, at no point did I feel compelled to hurl a piece of tableware at it. But then again I guess art moves people in different ways. Whatever.

The Itsy Bitsy Mona Lisa; encased in glass behind a wooden barrier in its own separate wall.

What I admire most about this dashing display of raw emotion is that the "Angry Russian Woman" was prepared for the task ahead of her. She was not satisfied with the cheapness of a paper cup, nor was she barbaric enough to send a small rock upside Mona Lisa's head. She so thoughtfully chose a teacup: an ancient symbol of refinement, class, and sophistication. So take that you no eyebrow-havin heffa... Needless to say the "Angry Russian Woman" was clearly deranged and was promptly carted off to a loony bin for testing.

The crowds keep at bay behind velvet ropes

Clearly her actions could be deemed as art as well....I mean it inspired MY ass off the couch and got me bloggin again. So thank you "Angry Russian Woman".....and my 16 followers thank you too!

CoCo: Le Trailer....

Told ya it was coming....
Check out the trailer for Coco avant Chanel.
Well, I got my dates wrong. The Paris premiere will be April 22nd. US date is to be determined.



PS: Unlike Marie Antoinette, everyone does not speak English...Betta brush up on your French

Can't Wait!!!

Sound Trackin': Marie Antionette

Even if this were a silent film, Marie Antoinette would still be one of my favorite films.
The visuals alone are cavity-inducing-amazingness!!

The Pastries
The Champagne
The Hair
The Clothes
The Foot Rubs
The Glorious Excess of It All.....

In this scene, Sofia Coppola chose "Fools Rush In" by Bow Wow Wow to capture delightful and heady Morning-After Feeling.
The magical rush of butterflies taking over the tummy.
Sublime, to say the least.





PS: I love how everyone in Versailles spoke English!!

Coco avant Chanel

Get ready bitches.... if you thought the devil wore Prada? Wrong!!...he wears Chanel and many strands of pearls and 5 inch heels and pantyhose and fancies red lipstick.
...and 'no' Karl Lagerfeld is not the devil but he did style the movie.

It doesn't take a psychic or a genius or even a high school drop-out to guess that Lifetime wonked up Gabrielle Coco Chanel biography. Truthfully, they should be ashamed to have even attempted it...They casted Shirley MacLaine and the movie was in ENGLISH DAMMITT!!



So hopefully somebody got it right this time. Written and directed by Anne Fontaine, Coco Avant/Before Chanel focuses on the Chanel's early years: the people and events made her in to the icon we cherish today.

Coco at work.

Filming began in early summer last year and its said to premiering next month.
Looks like its gonna be FIERCE!!
Ok, now all in favor of permanently retiring the word FIERCE say Aye?
Aye...I'm actually quite ashamed that I even used it....please forgive me I know not what I do.

For All My Graffiti Lovin' Fashionistas: Marc Jacobs x Kaws

To commemorate 10 years of the Mouse Flat, taste maker and rampant lover of High and Low culture Marc Jacobs has collaborated with the street-art cult fave KAWS to release this beauty.

The MJ x Kaws mouse flat will be available at Collete in Paris, Original Fake in Tokyo and Marc Jacobs stores throughout the US & UK.

Happy Shopping!

Colette x GAP

I'm sure you heard about this one by now.
But feel free to file this one under Weirdest collaborations ever...

The boutique of Parisian cool, Colette, is teaming up the the chain of coporate American Lame, The GAP, to produce its first ever mini-shoppe in the US.
The Colette x GAP pop up shop will open for one month(September 6th to October 5th), adjacent to the flagship GAP on 5th ave and 54th street.



Now, I've been to Colette (International Snobette Oui Oui!!)and I've been to the GAP (regretfully so), and I still don't see how these two polar opposite enterprises are gonna mesh well. Hopefully, Colette will have all of the creative control and the GAP will simply foot the bill like a good ole' SugarDaddy!!


Looking homeless outside of Colette.



Lost like a true tourist.

The Pop up store will feature special collaborations by Andre x Neckface, Miss Tic x Claw Money, SO-ME x EPSO and Jean Phillipe Delhomme x Ruben Toledo.
