belt out this song...

and have an instant happyplace.

music worth listening to

and a video too.  Raphael Saadiq is someone Kevin has been telling me about for a while that he was awesome.  sometimes it takes a video to really convince me.  this guys got it all.  ipod commercial dancing outlines, a interracial couple, happy lyrics and an all around awesome video.  enjoy.



thank you itunes for your free music video of the week.

frozen in time

Dennis Darzacq's exhibit Hyper looks pretty amazing.  it seems as though people are suspended in time in crazy positions that seem like there could be no way they got into them - unless they were tom cruise in mission impossible.  but he works with street dancers to do moves and takes pictures of them in mid air.  so they are basically the best jumping pictures you've even seen. 

dig it.  look. 

reason to travel: i'll go to amsterdam just for this hotel

hotel fox has artists do all their rooms in their own creative style. a really good reason to go to Amsterdam if you ask me. 

i especially LOVE the very cushy looking tent room.  book me a room!  found.  look.

typography tuesday

i'm setting out on a mission to create a lot of origami birds for the livingroom.. i mean  A LOT.  pray for my fingers.
and if anyone has magazines with sturdy pages and you live in the bay area, please give me a call or email and i'll come take them off your hands.

curious pages

Curious Pages is a hilarious blog about inappropriate children's books. 

go there, laugh, cry, read.  look.

magazine cover drawings

this guy is taking his collection of magazines - most of which i've never seen or heard of - and drawing the covers.  they look outstanding.  apparently there is a book and public viewing to come in 2010!  sweet!

 

 

found.  look.  

adorable porn stars win awards

cute as a button.. as long as their clothes are on.  click on links under the photos to see then without their clothes on.  enjoy :)

Kayden Kross

Shawna Lenee

Tori Black

they just look so endearing with their awards (clothes on)

nothing like a walking penis

German condom ad that would NEVER air in the US, but would actually make people remember to use condoms.  found. (at, i think, my current favorite blog theworldsbestever.com)

a kick ass: webisode

Very Mary-Kate, Episode 1 from Mary-Kate Olsen on Vimeo.

totally got a chuckle out of this webisode Very Mary-Kate.  Written and staring the super funny Elaine Carroll.
found.  look. 

a kick ass: pair of earrings

holy shit...

i NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED these!!  come oooonnnn!  anyone who hasn't gotten me a birthday or christmas present and would like to send me these.  i wouldn't be upset.  i'll even send you a package or music and pretty things.  promise.  found.  buy me. 

bugs up close

cause you know i love them.  and for once treehugger.com doesn't post about dying kittens and forcing people to ride bikes..  look.

this song played...

in my head all weekend long.  i'm a lucky girl.



q-tip & norah jones.  so good.

a really good piece of advice

again from keri smith.  and a really good reminder for everyone.  found.

just cause

it's no shock i love keri smith.  i want (but still do not have) most of her books.  in 2010 i want to try and do all 100 things she has listed on her site.  ok, it is really only a list of, 95.  but i can handle making up 5 creative things on my own and doing them.  this may require a new notebook, cause i think calling it a journal is pretentious.  you might want to do the same. if you do let me know.  it'll be fun!  promise!!  look.

vampire weekend - still cool

and the video is pretty awesome

a kick ass: postcard

flat packed wooden postcards that assemble when you get them.  neeeed them!  found.  look. 

today in san francisco

bob ross paints

and a great new diesel ad

best 2010 calendar

i am crazyinlove with the calendar printable from cottageindustrialist.  you can click on each calendar on her site and download the pdf then print for your own awesome calendar. 

these will be on my wall in 2010, so.. now.  found. 

one a day

i always wish i had the time/creativity to make one new thing everyday.  this jewelry designer is going to make one new ring everyday all year.  and so far they look pretty awesome.

i'd rock that rubber band ring.  wouldn't you?  found.  look.

did you know...
