:::Felabration:::

saturdate, it's a saturdate!

my new goal is to go out on the town at least once a week. this weekend, i sauntered on over to Tantra, to catch DJ Destroyer and DJ Rich Medina rock the legendary JUMPNFUNK party. i knew what to expect, so i came prepared with a towel, water and IV standing by. i danced until i almost hurt myself, and the Mr. didn't do too shabby either! what a beautiful night! it didn't matter that it was raining. thanks to frolab and company for putting together a fabulous night! Ow!

viva FELA, originator and political agitator!

::: Yayoi Kusama::: artist you should know

Kusama has slipped under my radar until this moment. i am not sure how, but she is an incredibly fascinating artist who was at her height at the same time as Warhol. her story is an intricate weaving of mental illness and art. she allows herself to dangle on the precipice between genius and insanity for the sake of her calling. i look forward to seeing these documentaries when they are done. enjoy.

::: ABC's in 3D ::::

love it! this book won the Meggendorfer Prize this year for best movable book, and it is easy to see why! i have a weakness for pop-up books and this one is uber-fab! enjoy! :)
