I know the whole 80's look was big for a minute...but you know that shit gets old. Yeah, get over it or kill yourself. New style always comes from older styles. In the 80's people dressed like the 50's. In the 90's people wore bell bottoms. This new/old style has been coming for a while...but people are just gonna see more and more of it.
Some might call it grunge...others might call it 90's...well pretty soon everybody is going to be rocking Pumas, Dickie pants, hoodies, Beenies and all that. People might also wear Speedo shorts with neon flashy colors. Homeboy’s dick hanging out…but let's hope not. Let’s not forget the overalls. That shit is happening as we speak. I’m checkin’ my head…are you?
CHECK YOUR NEW STYLE

Art in the Streets is the first major U.S. museum survey of graffiti and street art. Curated by MOCA Director Jeffrey Deitch and Associate Curators Roger Gastman and Aaron Rose, the exhibition will trace the development of graffiti and street art from the 1970s to the global movement it has become today, concentrating on key cities such as New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, London, and Sao Paulo, where a unique visual language or attitude has evolved. The exhibition will feature paintings, mixed media sculptures, and interactive installations by 50 of the most dynamic artists and will emphasize Los Angeles's role in the evolution of graffiti and street art, with special sections dedicated to seminal local movements such as cholo graffiti and Dogtown skateboard culture. A comprehensive timeline illustrated with artwork, photos, video, and ephemera will provide a historical context for the work.
Art in the Streets is made possible by The Eli and Edythe Broad Foundation.
This exhibition is generously supported by the Sydney Irmas Exhibition Endowment.
Major support is provided by Levi's. Additional support is provided by Mandy and Cliff Einstein, Nike SB, MOCA Contemporaries, Janet and Tony Goldman, MOCA Partners, Montana Colors, and Greg Escalante.
In-kind media support is provided by Ovation, Los Angeles magazine, and KCRW 89.9 FM.
Saturday in the Streets is presented by Ovation.

LOST + FOUND?
New York based fashion photographer Jonathan Leder is still using film when taking photos, and I must say, his portfolio is amazing. There’s a consistency in the feel and look, but within that he manages to show off an amazing versatility. His work has been featured in magazines such as A4 Magazine, Nylon, Sleek, and Mirage.

Saturday night Jess and I went out to dinner at my favorite little french cafe, Buena Vista Bistro. It was the perfect time to debut this recent acquisition from the Goodwill. The dress was in mint vintage condition and did not have to be cleaned, altered and barely even styled because it is dramatic just the way it is. I love the tiny polka dots, perfect silk fabric, cream color and especially love the asymmetrical hem.

VF Daily: Picasso had long-term relationships with, among others, a Russian ballerina, a Surrealist artist, and a naïve teenager. Is it safe to say he didn’t have any particular type?
John Richardson: Not entirely: he preferred his mistress to be submissive and no taller than him. Picasso’s mistress from 1935 to 1944, Dora Maar, had a theory about the changes of the women in Picasso’s life. According to Dora, when the woman changed, everything else changed: the all-important poet laureate, the circle of friends, the house, the pets, the nature of his work changed. In Marie-Thérèse’s case, his work would become more overtly sexual.
What distinguished Picasso’s relationship with Marie-Thérèse from his other affairs?
Marie-Thérèse was totally unlike the other women in that she was happy to remain hidden in the background, and for eight years or so remained unknown to all but a few of Picasso’s closest friends. People knew he had a mistress, but nobody knew her name, what she looked like, or where she lived. Since Picasso was trying to divorce his Russian ballerina wife, Olga, his lawyers forbade him to appear in public with Marie-Thérèse. She was the most secret of all his relationships, but she didn’t seem to mind. She was very active insofar as she loved kayaking, swimming, bicycling, skating, but very passive in that she loved to read and sleep, as we know from Picasso’s paintings. She had no social aspirations whatsoever.
In his article “Picasso’s Erotic Code,” in the May 2011 issue of V.F., John Richardson examines Picasso’s 14-year relationship with his mistress Marie-Thérèse Walter, which is the subject of a major exhibition at the Gagosian Gallery on West 21st Street, in New York, opening on April 14 (the exhibition is curated by Richardson and Diana Widmaier-Picasso, Marie-Thérèse’s granddaughter). VF Daily called Richardson—currently writing the fourth volume of his magisterial biography, A Life of Picasso—to ask about the artist’s romantic prowess and proclivities. Highlights from the chat:
PICASSO + SEX
"Picasso was trying to divorce his Russian ballerina wife, Olga, his lawyers forbade him to appear in public with Marie-Thérèse. She was the most secret of all his relationships, but she didn’t seem to mind."
And no professional aspirations?
Her entire life was devoted to being the artist’s great love and muse.
Why was Picasso so irresistible to women? Obviously his reputation as one of the world’s greatest artists helped, but was there more to it than that?
Although he was quite short, he had amazing charisma. Above all, he had what Spaniards call the mirada fuerte, the strong gaze, which, as Picasso said, enables a man to have a girl with his eyes. Picasso had fantastic eyes: enormous eyes that could indicate interest, rage, love, desire, impatience—whatever. I used to watch Picasso working a room. At dinner in the studio, he would get each person—male or female, old or young, friend or acquaintance—with those hypnotic eyes.
When you say he would “get” someone, what does that mean?
He was a bit of a vampire. You’d have a great time with him—you’d go to the beach or eat waffles on the promenade at Cannes—but at the end of the day you’d wonder why you felt utterly, utterly exhausted! What Picasso did was to take each person’s energy and love for him and fascination with him, and then he’d go off and work all night on the energy of his guests and his second wife, Jacqueline.

Brigitte Bardot at Picasso's studio in 1956. Athough I added these pics into this post, she was never his muse. She tried to be, for public attention. Picasso was never that interested. LOL
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.
