Friggin’ Solange, y’big babe

This is probably like the fifth or sixth blog I’ve started. But that’s fine I guess or maybe it’s not really. I don’t know, anything; I’m in the worst mood ever. I have some time on my hands now so I’m going to just post a bunch of things I like. Mainly cos I haven’t got around to/am way too lazy to create and maintain a real life diary that I can hold in my real life hands. So anyway I’m just really tired right now and I just aggressively yelled at my parents for watching McFly being interviewed on tv.

Right now, at this very moment, the person I would most like to look like in the whole wide world is Solange Knowles. Actually it would be so good to BE her because then me and Beyonce would be ~sistas~ and I could babysit Blue Ivy when Beyonce and Jay Z needed to go to the Grammys or whatever. Anyway Solange’s recent body garments have been amaymay! The colours are so good and the patterns too. I’m sorry this is written so badly I’m in a weird delirious state and I don’t really have any appreciation for the English language at the moment, because all my appreciation is busy appreciating Solange’s afro. 

I’ve decided t…

I’ve decided to start a new blog ~for realsies~ this time!  

Jesus Christ girl, what are people gonna think?

I watched this clip last night and ever since I haven’t been able to stop listening/watching it. Both the song and clip are so good and perfect together, and Aubrey is a babeus majorus!

 

Yayoi Kusama

How good is Yayoi Kusama! She’s a Japanese artist that was born sixty two years and one day before me. I really like how she uses patterns and colours in her self portraits.

All these people drinking lover’s spit

It’s kind of drizzling today and there are so many clouds in the sky that when you look up all you can see is grey. It reminds me of this video clip for Lover’s Spit by Broken Social Scene. I’m going to try to keep posting things on here because I think it’s nice to document the things you like.

Casey Weldon

I really like these paintings by Casey Weldon, from Brooklyn. Art that incorporates pop culture has always interested me, but I think the main reason I like these is because I’m creepily obsessed with both Bill Murray and Steve Buscemi. I feel like I’ve been using the word ‘obsessed’ too much on here already…

Andy walking, Andy tired, Andy take a little snooze

On the 6th of August 2011 Andy Warhol would have turned 83 years old. In remembrance  artist Edgar Askelovic has made a sculpture of what Andy would have looked like if he was still alive today. For some reason I find the sculpture quite sad. I guess when famous people die young, they’re always remembered as they were in their prime. I think this sculpture reminds us that Andy Warhol was just as human as we all are, and I guess in that respect it’s pretty nice.

Bette Jagger

My thinking was that ‘bette midler for president’ would be a temporary name for this blog, but after watching this video I don’t know if I can bring myself to change it. Am I right?!

Villa Mairea

Recently I’ve been a bit obsessed with nice buildings, and Villa Mairea is one of the nicest I’ve come across. It was built in 1937 by a Finnish architect Alvar Aalto in the middle of a pine forest in Finland as an ‘experimental house’ for his friends Harry and Maire Gullichsen. I wish I had amazing Finnish architect friends that would build me houses in the forest. Maybe one day.

Franz Xaver Messerschmidt

I’ve decided to start writing about cool things I find on the internet so I don’t forget about them. The other day I stumbled across this guy – Franz Xaver Messerchmidt – a German-Austrian sculptor who was around in the 1700’s and he made awesome sculptures of extreme facial expressions! I really like them and want one for my room so if anyone has some lying around let me know. Thinking about attempting something similar but way worse sometime in the very distant future. Anyway here are a couple for you to look at. I think the main reason I like them so much is that they could easily be so modern.
