I Got a Really Cool Book: Yves Saint Laurent Dialog with Art

April 24th, 2011

Today I got a REALLY COOL book!!!!!

This book is the catalog for the 2004 exhibtition”Yves Saint Laurent dialogue avec l’Art” at Fondation Pierre Bergé that chronicled YSL’s “dialogs” with art, beginning in 1965 with a collection of dresses based on Piet Mondrian’s compositions.

I had not known that YSL went on to design pieces inspired by Picasso, Matisse, Braque, Bonnard (one of my all-time favs), Léger, and Van Gogh as well as Pop Art and African Art in general.

From a NYTimes article at the time:  ”But I never compared myself with these artists — that would be pretentious,” said Saint Laurent. “I just tried to be an artist in my own métier.”

Happy with my book and wearing my own Mondrian Cuff.

I got the book at Mast Books on Avenue A and 5th St NYC.

Me and Prince

March 29th, 2011

So, I went to see Prince at MSG with my friend Jamie a few months ago.
A few things of note happened.
During one song, we saw a couple a few rows in front of us, the man was singing along to the lyrics to his woman. While lip synching he got down on one knee and opened a ring box. Apparently she said yes, because then they were jumping up and down hugging and kissing and we were all clapping.

The most significant thing: I rarely wear high heels, I never learned how to walk in them well, but I once found a pair I love at ARCHE, where my mom and European women buy their shoes. A pair of purple nubuck booties with mirrored wedges. So, I was wearing flats at MSG on this night, but someone else was wearing these very same booties. Prince! I am 99% sure that he was wearing the same ones, and he had a much easier time princing around in them. We both have them in purple, naturally.

Proof?

Update

November 17th, 2010

I took a break from playing shows this fall to focus on my jewelry line IMK Jewelry.  (Wow, I’ve become the character I was playing/sort of making fun of in Alec Coiro’s musical farce Fashion Party- one of my lines was “Can’t I just focus on my handbag line for now??”)

Anyhoo, I’ll be playing shows again soon, but for now, I’ve started a little blog with all my jewelry news!  http://www.imkjewelry.com/blog/

And if you or anyone you know is a stylist, fashion blogger, editor or buyer, please send them my way!  http://www.imkjewelry.com

What would Burt Bacharach Do?  I wish I knew while looking for this next chord.

Also, this is what Hal David looks like:

Hal David wrote most of the lyrics for Burt Bacharach’s music including “Alfie,” in my opinion and limited knowledge, one of the world’s most perfect “songs.”

I love Men (with a capital “M”.)

Lipstick Results

June 18th, 2009

The lipstick poll is tied at 44-44! Thank you to everyone who came out to vote. Honestly, when I left for the concert yesterday Red was up by one point, but since Blue had some serious support and was the more exciting option I went for it. It was more of an opinion poll or focus group. I swear if it were a presidential election I would obey the results!

I welcome more costume ideas for performing… Pics from last night coming soon.

Sorry, no midget fondling here.

Did you know that I can see what search terms people enter to find this website? Lately there have been several “midget fondling” queries! The words “midget” and “fondling” occur separately in captions on the Halloween pics page.

I will be playing at Lit on Nov 12. Details TBA.

I am on the cover of and inside this month’s Vice Magazine.

I am on the right and Lily is on the left. Lily passed away a week after they interviewed us for the article and it was too late to add or change anything but there will be a special tribute to her in the next issue.
