David Gomez DREAM
Two days ago I had this dream where I found myself in the mind of ‘David Gomez’…or at least that’s what I think it was.
This is how it sort of looked:
It was a ‘Being John Malkovich’ kind of dream. And it was a real good one.
As I found myself moving, the environment was transforming at the very same time into stages of drawings.
I wish to have the same dream again, only now with his Technicolor portraits.

Color Mountains
Someone ask me to do a landscape for a Christmas present… this is how it ended up looking.
–they liked it and it’s now hanging in their apartment
Eat your birth out
I’ve just find this poster I did back in may with my then roomie Leonardo for a Congress of anthropology contest, I created the concept, he made it real… we ended up winning second place.
Not bad uh?

The clothes are not dead... yet
Ms. Horyn
Yesterday I saw for the third time, via style.com, the Valentino show. Everyone was saying it was, beautiful, respectful, and right on the money. Yet, I couldn’t figure it out, why I hated it. I read everywhere, so many ‘La dolce vita’ references, that I had to see it, once more. It wasn’t that movie, they were all wrong … it do was Fellini, but it was 8 ½.
The clothes are not dead yet, as you said, but they are dying, fading, and becoming extinct, it doesn’t take much to relate this show to the movie plot, where an Italian film director, is suffering from “director’s block.” And it’s pressed and harassed by his entourage to create something adequate.
Adequate, it was for sure, but as Susy Menkes said, ‘There was absolutely nothing to frighten clients’.
Isn’t that sad?

Unicorn Girl
Bambi took these amazingly beautiful photos of my friend Margaux. She’s so pretty. Whenever I run in to her I can't help but gasp. Bambi it’s really stepping up and Mgx is killin' it. They’re so great. I love 'em!

The Beautiful Losers Film
Beautiful Losers film trailer from beautifullosersfilm on Vimeo.
This video makes POPULAR GEEKS FOR KIDS –the musical/arty project of my friends’s and I- sound normal. I love it. We are not actually ‘do it yourself’ people. But we do some stuff, and we do it nicely. It almost makes it sound normal when we do things like:
Put grass all over my room to have a suitable tea party
Put blue boxes all over my terrace just to enjoy the view
Go in stupid costumes to a burgerking parking space to fight and scare people
and so on...

The art of death, compilation
While running through the morning papers, I found in The International Herald Tribune, an article wrote by Susy Menkes entitled ‘From Milan: Sobering up after dress to excess’ and this amazing paragraph within:
Then, only a few hours later, in the University Library, after reading a compilation called ‘the decadent reader: fiction, fantasy and perversion’ that had a few notes on Barbey d’Aurevilly that will came helpful on my work about dandyism, I, accidentally threw out the novel ‘Lladri di biciclette’. The images of the 1948 adaptation by Vittorio de Sica, ran through my head, the whole movie actually.
Then I understand Milan and why Miuccia Prada was saying that her show was about “surviving” and that in order “to survive, you have to be strong". Her collection was beautiful and makes sense.
Dolce and Gabbana, where, talking about Sicily, -the last Sicilian collection was in 1991- Said Stefano Gabbana to explain Dolce & Gabbana's focus on a southern Italian homeland. It was less austere than Prada’s for sure but they were also talking about rough times. They have created –especially with Steven Meisel- a language where Sicily immediately evokes Italian neorealism, this one was no exception. It was pure transition between neorealism and symbolism, just like ‘La Dolce Vita’, even though, the guys where portraying more Anouk Aimée’s character than Marcello's one.
Jil Sander by Raf Simons also stood out, it’s the best I’ve seen so far, but he went Nordic,Scandinavian functionalism,and that’s another story.

Recession is in the air - and on the runways, where it seems that men can dress for the winter 2009/10 season in any colors, as long as they are shades of gray, black and white.

Diary
Nantes, Sunday 1th July
I started packing for my trip to Rome; I ate with Leonardo & Mariella in down town and came back. We had an Asian party, the house was draped with banners of gold, red, and purple, and the Oriental theme was displayed with a thousand-pound bronze statue of Buddha, laden with white cattleya orchids. The habitual strangers came up. The room ended up smelling like a mixture of fruit and spices: Mandarin orange, jasmine, rose, Lily of the Valley, amber, incense and musk, as well as patchouli.
Dimitri has an incredible nose, and he’s always telling me about scents. Hey! This time he was quite accurate. Anyway my friend Iria Benet showed me how instead of smoking hashish I could get the same effect from pinching a little bit off and swallowing it and well, I ate the whole thing.
When I finally went to bed I ended up having nightmares. I dream that I was walking down Cours de Cinquante Otages and all the puppies were defoliated creating a American beauty kind of scenario, where all the sky was of different color petals, it sounds sweet, but it felted sad.
Paris, Monday 2th July
Yves Saint Laurent died yesterday. We took the first train to Paris -Montparnasse was scary-cold- and the whole city was draped with the Paris Match cover, it’s surreal to see Paris mourning. We are staying at Sophia’s apartment.
Paris, Tuesday 3th July
Nantes and Paris are really bright cities to be so high in the map.
Sophia, Dimitri and I went to have brunch on the rue du 29 de juillet sushi; I’m obsessed with this restaurant. Then walk to the provisional Colette store in Place du Marché St-Honoré, and bought the amazingly beautiful Ola Rindal’s ‘the Beginning’ book. After that I ran into Scott Schuman, I’m always happy to see him. He was looking for some fashionable Stilts and I told him about a friend who’s selling them in a lil’ magazine near Palais royal. - We understand the need to have some good-looking stilts especially on fashion shows- He cracks me up, he’s probably the funnier straight-old-guy I’ve ever meet .

Candy Pratts Price
someone says:
"If you're using ground water, you can get bacteria,"
and Candy snickers, in response:
"Not if you put vodka in it."

Bye, bye, bye!
Este jueves arme un c.d. para el finde –las playlist murieron junto con mi ipod- el disco está lleno con mis nuevas obsesiones: Empire of The Sun & Emergency Pizza Party.
Muscles, nightdrugs y Bufi que no dejo de tocar y viejos conocidos como M.I.A. & MGMT.
El rollo era no solo hacer un c.d. para pasarla bien el sábado por la noche, si no montar uno de esos discos que se vuelven obsesión. La verdad me salté la barda, el disquito es la epitome de buen rollo y después de haberlo escuchado sin parar y ver la reacción de los cuates puedo decir que logra transmitir la vibra que cargo en estos días, además quedo perfecto para uno de los mejores fines del año.
El sábado nos reunimos en la mesa familiar para comer entre otras cosas, mis grandes favoritos: Nigiri de Atún aleta amarilla, Callo de hacha con azafrán y Langosta catalana… el postre lo sirvieron con un brindis de Veuve Clicquot y una de esas noticias impactantes –el menú no era para menos-
Así que les dedico este post a mi sistah y a mi cuñado, deseándoles muchas noches con buena vibra y muchos beats. Ahí les va el Playlist:
“Walking on a dream” de Empire of the Sun
“Taken Away (Bufi remix)” de Digitalism
”Half Mast” de Empire of the sun
“Crimewave” de Crystal Castles vs Health
“Triceratops (Acid Girls remix)” de Health
“Get a Life” de Emergency Pizza Party
“Homeless hero” de Bufi
“Paper Planes” de M.I.A. -ya sé,ya sé,pero no dejo de recordarla en clases!
“Ice cream” de Muscles
“Bonafide lovin’ (Surkin remix)” de Chromeo
“Carmencita (Toy Selectah ravertonrefix)” de Devendra Banhart
“Get’Em High & Heartbeats (A-Track remix)” de Kanye West & The Knife
“Kids (Soulwax Nite Version)” de M.G.M.T.
“Hoes Get Down” de Surkin&Bomba or High Powered Boys
“Flashing lights” de Kanye West ft Dwele
“Work out Plan (NightDrugs remix)” de Kanye West
Te voy a extrañar viejo!

Rei Kawakubo (Can I be your friend?)
Hace tiempo que me tomó por sorpresa encontrar el blog de Tavi una fashionblogger de tan solo 12 años con un genio y humor increíbles. La pequeña it girl, ha bloggeado para TeenVogue, ha sido reseñada por Bryanboy y siente fuertes sentimientos por Rei Kawakubo. Hace poco como muestra de gratitud por todos los americanos que salieron a votar y un poco para descargar la emoción que sentía por haber comprado la línea de Comme des Garcons para H&M en pura tradición de ‘popular geek for kids’ le hiso un rap a la increíble diseñadora japonesa. Al verlo no pude parar de reír y me sentí un poco decepcionado de no haber pensado antes en hacer algo así para marc fucking god jacobs.

My mom and I woke up at like 5 o clock
While walking to the EL, saw our neighbor down the block
She wanted to know why we were in such a hurry
Didn't wanna tell her "shoppin" so I said we'd better scurry
When we got down there we rushed into line
Surrounded by us were people of all kinds
Label whores, hipsters, grandmamas, too
Met a professor named Sam, we talked about religious views
Rei Kawakubo (H&M)
Rei Kawakubo (Can I be your friend?)
Rei Kawakubo (stalker fan letters I will send)
Rei Kawakubo (I love you with no end)
At 9 AM they opened the doors
Cue the sound of Marni heels running on the floors
I grabbed what I could, got looks from others shoppin
Though their glares were patronizing, I wouldn't be stoppin
They were older but my smallness was a plus
Being tiny helped me try and get the things I lust
I slithered on the ground and crawled through the racks
Took the clothing people dropped after I surprise attacked
Rei Kawakubo (H&M)
Rei Kawakubo (Can I be your friend?)
Rei Kawakubo (stalker fan letters I will send)
Rei Kawakubo (I love you with no end)
The jacket I wanted returned from the fitting rooms
A worker put it on the racks, about to end my doom
But an evil man stole it from my grasp with glee
I'M JUST A POOR BOY NOBODY LOVES ME
But my spirits were lifted when I met a girl named Claire
She said she read my blog, put you hands up in the air!
Let me know what you got, in the midst of all the LOONY
You're the sweetest person ever, thanks for saying hi to me!
Rei Kawakubo (H&M)
Rei Kawakubo (Can I be your friend?)
Rei Kawakubo (stalker fan letters I will send)
Rei Kawakubo (Readers, is this rap bugging you yet?)
I ended up getting not my favorite things ever
But I got out alive as a soon-to-be ebay seller!
It was a hectic day but worth missing school
No one in class got swagga this cool!
Comme Des Garcons (H&M)
Now you all gone (goodbye, my friend)
But I still love you a ton (for you I would have bled)
I wrote you this song (and now it's come to an end)
Word.
