A.L.M.
I have been thinking about Lee today. Lee's mastery and total understanding of interdisciplinary practice involved the translation & connection of the human psyche. He used many methods: fetish, appropriation, historical figures, myth & 14th to the 21st century imagery that resulted in a body of fantastic fashion; how astounding. ♥ A.L.M.

CLOSE UP AND PRIVATE's etiquette for the modern classicist
CLOSE UP AND PRIVATE's etiquette for the modern classicist,
a loosely compiled list of scrupulous style cues for gentlemen
-
Slim cut suits with short legged trousers go a long way.
-
Buy a pair of wingtips and loafers.
-
The Beatles sir, listen to them – and do so regularly.
-
Owning at least 3 oxford shirts has never done a man any harm.
-
Be a gentleman towards women.
-
Own several ties – n.b. Four-in-hand knots only – mix things up with a bow tie.
-
Watch all movies by Andrei Tarkovsky. Re-watch them.
-
Always consider a well-fitting navy blazer with gold buttons.
-
Serge Gainsbourg looked smart in a trench coat and so do you.
-
Own a classic cashmere v-neck and a round-neck pull-over.
-
Kaki chino trousers are as essential as they are basic.
Choose your pair meticulously.
-
Cherish a good relationship with your parents.
-
Sometimes looking at a nice black and white picture of your grandfather
as a young man wearing his Sunday-suit can learn you more about classic style
than reading 20 fashion magazines.
-
A watch – you do own one do you? - should be flat, vintage, and have a leather band.
-
Be punctual.
-
Ray Ban sunglasses matter.
-
Stay current.
-
Trust the classics.

Artist D*Face + Skateboarding = LOVE
Artist D*Face hooked up a crazy-ass spray paint skateboard system. “What better way to paint the pool then letting everyone get involved? With high-tech remotely controlled spray can apparatus mounted to the underside of skateboards…every line a skater took became the paint job of the pool.”

Mediocre thoughts- Saturday at Intelligentsia
NOTES:
1. the gym makes me: sad, happy, angry, excited, feeling thin, then fat, then almost the right weight
2. 1 chi latte and 1cappichino make for a productive an speedy afternoon
3. I really like Katy Perry she is my teenage dream
4. blogs and tumblr are the new creative outlet for self publication
5. Is romance dead?- this is a sex in the city reference - well gays, it's only dead if we stop it and I wont let that happen, flowers, poems, blushing boys on the street: let's keep it going.
6. I have a friend who charts her moods - I think i just might start this action as well- to see if I am really "happy"
7. I am going home 3 times this summer; Superior in summer is more amazing then the Pines
8. Orange was my favorite color for about 10 years..I now prefer gray as my daytime hue.
9. I live with 2 women. These 2 ladies are smart, sexy, powerful and ambitious, this is a true motivator.
10. I have been trying very hard to smile and be kind to strangers, wow am I jaded, this is my summer challenge.

Gay of the Day: James (Arthur) Baldwin (1924-1987)
American writer, noted for his novels on sexual and personal identity, and sharp essays on civil-rights struggle in the United States. Baldwin also wrote three plays, a children's storybook, and a book of short stories. He gained fame with his first novel, GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN (1953), a story of hidden sins, guilt, and religious torments. In this and subsequent works Baldwin fused autobiographical material with analysis of social injustice and prejudices. Several of his novels dealt with homosexual liaisons.
I First read GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN in 9th grade, I had no Idea Who James was or what he was about. I had to pick a book out of a reading list & I randomly chose him; the irony of this choice was almost fate like.
