We're repelling, how 'bout you?

Man Repeller: I'm wearing a plastic skirt because I found it appropriate for Miami...
Bird girl: Right on!



Yes, plastic she wore when she paid a visit to Miami's emporium of cool, The Webster. I didn't have time to count how many bracelets were part of those arm parties Leandra carried around while us flamingos sipped her magenta colored cocktails and chatted about fashion trends, her accidental cyber-journalism career and how to save the world.

Is Spring 2012 all about wrapping yourself in polymers? Or, was she wearing that skirt just in case it rained? I dare you to try it and look that cool!

We came, we repelled, we conquered.

Girl scout freaks (minus the cookies)

Girl Scout 1: Is it my imagination, or has my contour been drawn with a segmented line?
Girl Scout 2: Yes, you have indeed been drawn with a fragmented line around that mismatched body of yours. Ha!
GS 1: You monster! how can you laugh? Help me erase it.
GS 3: Before they cut you out... may I have my shirt back, please? I am hating this bore of a top they gave me.
GS 1: Hey! that's my top you're talking about!
GS 4: (Yawn...) You people bore the badge out of me. I'm out of here.
GS 1: Not before you return my shorts!
GS 3: What are you talking about, mismatchy? Those are MY shorts!
GS 1: And I hate these boots!!! it's not even raining!
GS 4: Geez... complain much?
GS 2: I believe the main problem lies in your inability to make the most out of your special condition. Yes, you have been drawn around in a line that surely gets interpreted as a sign that you will be the first one to go, in paper-doll world, but I can assure you that it is not likely to happen.
GS 4: You see? Now chill!
GS 1: I'm not sure about any of this... I'd rather... 

SNIP SNIP SNIP!!!
(Scissors cutting around Girl Scout 1).

GS 4: Oops!

This craze of an entry inspired by the beautiful and bizarre (just a tiny bit) display of Jill Sander Navy SS2012 Collection.

Ok, these are clearly not freaks, I just made them look like that for the pleasure of it.
What they are is wearing a collection that was INDEED inspired by Girl Scouts. No, they don't carry any cookies in their tote bags. No, they have not earned any badges that I know of. Yes, that is exactly the conversation that they would have if you were not looking at them right now.

Doggy style

I know! 
This entry's title is SUCH a cliché I can barely forgive myself, but it made you look, did it not? (you pervs).


But what is this about? tell us, tell us!
This sculpture, which was picked up in my studio today, will be part of the SmARTy Dogs for Smart Schools public art campaign, produced by Prince Media Developments. All the sculptures that are part of this public art festival will be auctioned off on March 28, 2012 at Pinecrest Gardens and 100% of the proceeds will go to the Smart Schools campaign to support technology at the Village's public schools.
More info here.


Bad doggy, bad!                                                                                 Good doggy.

Flesh was the reason why oil painting was invented

Of course that phrase is not mine. What do I know about oil, painting or... well...

In the spirit of the holiday season, let's cut some heads off!
Really, Broadway? Really???


*PS: by the way, it was De Kooning who conveyed that phrase.

Art Basel & the obsession with self-portraiture

Once again, Art Basel Miami Beach (and all the satellite fairs) came and went.
Oh, how good you were to me, leaving this body so tired, this mind overwhelmed and these eyes wider than ever. 



From the vault

There I am, dancing like nbdswtchng with Matt. Good times :)
