Cleanse

Twelve days ago, I started an eleven day cleanse — drinking only juice some days, other days eating a small salad and supplementing nutrients with protein shakes. Here are my observations, post cleanse. 1. THERE WILL NEVER BE A GOOD TIME TO CLEANSE. I opted to start mine the Sunday before Valentine’s Day. That meant Valentine’s dinner with [...]

Car Horn Concert

We love the idea of playing with dissonant sounds – morphing them into something potentially beautiful. We also love the idea of making play out of a daily activity for most Angelenos that is at once stressful and boring: our commute. Enter artist Zefrey Throwell,  known for his birthday suit antics on Wall Street. Part migraine inducing noise, part [...]

Anatomical Cross-Sections in Paper

First it was anatomical heart embroidery. Now it’s anatomical cross sections in paper. Clearly, I’m obsessed with anatomy. (blame our work with Cedars-Sinai) But how can you not obsess about this craftsmanship by artist Lisa Nilsson? Her work puts my piss poor giftwrapping non skills in the corner … for life. Enjoy.

The latest objects of my obsession are silk shirts – I have one (or two) in every color of the rainbow. And no, polyester that looks “silky” will not suffice. Anyway, I found this little gem today and [...]

Valentine

In honor of Valentine’s Day. Via Cult Classic, Not Bestseller

Funny in the free bin.

I love looking through the free book bin in the public library. It’s just a real barrel of laughs. Especially when I found YA gems from the 90′s like the ones below. Enjoy!    

Silver Lake

Silver Lake is a neighborhood in Los Angeles. If I wanted to fit in there, I’d have to shop exclusively at Urban Outfitters. Even as outsiders, we had fun exploring (tour courtesy of The Gans‘). First we went to Spice Station, an aromatic subterranean respite from oh-so-hot sidewalk jungle. Outside Spice Station is a wonderful [...]
