James Spader..

James Spader is one of, if not, my favorite actor. He may not have been in the most amazing films, but his performance and ability to get into a characters skin is mesmerizing. His voice, eyes and mannerisms are swoon-worthy. He chooses unusual roles and I notice myself thinking about these characters long after the film is over..

Stef McGee - Pretty in Pink. Andie probably should have chosen him. I have youtubed scenes of Stef loads of times, there are so many awesome vids.

Yeah Andie.

Swoon, intense head shot.

David Cronenberg's Crash. Strange, very strange.

 Stargate. I loved this sci fi film.

Gah! Super-swoon. Secretary.

 

 

James & Maggie

Alan Shore from Boston Legal. Amazing character, amazing lines & delivery. Boston Legal is probably my all-time favorite show. It's very clever.

Filler

Okay, to be honest, I've just ripped a bunch of images that I like from ffffound and posted them here. My laptop is fraaatzed. It keeps overheating and switching off all by itself. It also smells like burning. I've done a full software update and now the fan is a lot silenter, but the fan won't go over 800rpm. The CPU is around 70oC. The CD drive just broke, because I accidentally shoved a piece of popcorn inside it, with a disk. The mac is around 4 years old, and I've dropped it and lugged it around the world & never had a problem with it before this. It's the best computer I've ever owned (oh except for the commodore 64 & hundreds of fucking sick games I had, such as montezuma's revenge and frogger). Anyhoo, the guy at the computer shop said it will likely cost loads to fix and I should just upgrade. Meh. My friend told me a story that a work collegues computer overheated and had fan problems, so he spend hours opening it up and found that the fan was clogged with pubes. Ew, yeah, so thats probably why my fan isn't working properly. Because pubes are choking it.

Oooh trippy

Dapper

Cool matchbox

Indeed!

Cool innit, it says Dior on the band

Meowy. I found this pic on a page dedicated to 'cat fur art'.

If you go to japan, you'll see a few thousand of these torii gates

The 70's snuggie!

Cuuute bunny mug

Probably the most amazing tattoos I've seen in my life. These belong to Remy. She's funny & naturally hot & has great tattoos.

Miss Van - solo

Following on from Miss Van's solo show 'Sparkles', in hometown of Paris, is new show 'Bailarinas' in New York. I'm excited to see new works from this show (on the internet of course, as I'm in Australia).

 

Miss Van has also recently collaborated with Cirque du Soleil to produce a print depicting their show Corteo.  The print will be shown in Madrid on April 29-30th, at  Espacio Valverde as part of the SAFEWALLS exhibition, cumulating the Cirque du Soleil collaborations of El Mac, Shag, Jon Burgerman, Jason Limon, Sweet Toof, Glenn Anderson, Nuria Mora and Ricardo Cavolo. 

 

There is a print run of only 300. They are selling at $55USD, which is amazingly cheap for a Miss Van print.

Fruit - Foods - Nature

This looks delicious. I love hamburgers. I would say that hamburgers are my favorite food. Hamburgers from all different countries. I love Japanese chain Mos Burger. Singapore had most excellent upscale hamburger boutiques. Melbourne has Grill'd. London has Gourmet Burger Kitchen & pub burgers. Drool.

Fruit - I'm so glad to be back in Australia, if only for the fruit! Amazing variety, freshness & deliciousness. I virtually stopped eating fruit in England, but made up for that back here. Mmm, look at the dragonfruit & juicy watermelon. Can't wait to scoop out a kiwifruit.

Mmmm, Bompas & Parr, the jellymongers. 2 creative young men whose main medium is jelly! They create amazing sculptures, glow in the dark jellies as well as other food experiments/art installations. They also have created feasts, with highly experimental menus. From their website: "Bompas & Parr designs spectacular food experiences often working on an architectural scale with cutting edge technology.  Projects explore how the taste of food is altered through synaesthesia, performance and setting. " They also provided expertise to Heston Blumenthal on his Feast series - not a surprising fact, as B&P's food feasts often have a Victorian era theme, resurrecting long forgotten recipes. Its worth looking at their website !

Emma Bridgewater. I love her pottery due to the amazing graphics.

More Bompas & Parr. The boys also tour the world, often recreating famous landmarks with jelly. They've recently toured Australia (& Melbourne).

Awsmazing Viktor and Rolf gown - look at the cut outs! This is nothing, the whole collection is similar, but with even more crazy dresses. She looks like a delicious fluffy dessert.

Delightful homewares

Dinosaur Designs started as a jewellery line, using polyester resin as a medium. They also do homewares, and I luff them, and want to fill my house with their colourful uniqueness. Inspiration for the designs come from nature & art (as you can tell from the title of the collections). Looking at the items below, you may think they are plasticy, but they are not - they are heavy, quality, smooth and solid. A very nice medium. Weeee.

Their jewellery is pretty too. All chunk & colour block-y. These items are all handmade.
