Posted 2011-04-16 18:30:37 | Views: 13,304

"ARTISTS: DON'T MOVE TO NEW YORK!"

ACCORDING TO

PATTI

SMITH

Musician and author Patti Smith had some sound advice for fledgling artists thinking of moving to New York: don't.

 

According to Vanishing New York, in a discussion with writer Jonathan Lethem at Cooper Union this past Saturday, Smith was asked if it was possible for young artists to come to the city and find the path to stardom that she did.

 

In response, Smith told the crowd, "New York has closed itself off to the young and the struggling. But there are other cities. Detroit. Poughkeepsie. New York City has been taken away from you. So my advice is: Find a new city."

Irina Werning's Back to the Future

Posted 2011-04-12 13:28:06 | Views: 26,047

Irina Werning is obsessed with finding peoples old pictures and doing a photoshoot that mimics the old photo. She’s pretty damn good at it too! It’s amazing how many of the people in the photos look pretty much the same as their baby pictures. It sort of reminds you that you are always a kid at heart…sometimes at least.

 

 Nobody can deny Werning’s incredible knack to capturing the original photo, along with the correct wardrobe, scenery and facial expressions. She’s already worked on 2 projects with her “Back to the Future” series and she’s starting a new one. This time around she’s scouting for people in places like Berlin, Paris and New York City.

Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up, and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable - a most sacred right - a right, which we hope and believe, is to liberate the world.

August 2010 - With only 23 days of rehab under her belt, Lindsay Lohan was released from her treatment program over two months early.

 

August 2010 - Due to overcrowding at the women's Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, California, Lindsay was released after serving only two weeks behind bars. She was immediately sent to rehab for 90 days of treatment.

 

July 2010 - Judge Marsha Revel sentenced actress Lindsay Lohan to serve 90 days in jail  and also spend 90 days in rehab following her release. Lindsay sobbed as she heard the news and realized that she wouldn't be getting off scott free as she had hoped. Even though it was clearly too late, Lindsay pleaded with the judge to reconsider. Showing no mercy, Judge Revel said: "I couldn't have been more clear. There are no excuses."

 

June 2010 -  Lindsay Lohan's SCRAM device was apparently set off while attending a 2010 MTV Movie Awards after party. Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel found Lindsay to be in violation of the original agreement and issued a warrant for her arrest  and upped the bail to $200,000. The bond was quickly posted and the warrant was removed. The troubled starlet denied any wrongdoing and even posted a bunch of Tweets in her own defense. Lindsay is still expected in court on July 6.
