Tweet I like art and I like history, but sometimes one distracts me from the other. I started writing a post about a painting I have in my apartment, so I took a picture of the wall where it was hanging. That made me think of Up Against the Wall Motherfuckers, the name by which [...]

Tweet When my gorgeous friend Debra invited me and designer/blogger Stacy Lomman to an art opening yesterday, I barely glanced at the invitation before saying yes. That was for the best because it was fun being surprised by La Boîte à Biscuits, which a gallery of sorts that offers a “seasonal biscuits collection and unique [...]

Tweet I fell in love with polka-dot-obsessed artist Yayoi Kusama after the New York Times ran a story about her in 2008. Today, Louis Vuitton confirmed Women’s Wear Daily’s November report that Vuitton’s artistic director, the often-naked Marc Jacobs, is collaborating with Kusama on products that include leather goods.

Tweet Last week, a busybody speculated aloud that my favorite red lipstick is full of lead that will give me cancer. (My reaction can be summed up by this 2008 post.) Right after that conversation, I saw that lots of news organizations were picking up a story about a pair of Dutch artists — Lernert [...]

Tweet I love this 16th-century painting by Raphael. The young lady seems to be throwing someone the side-eye. I bet she’s looking at the person who gave her that tiny unicorn to hold. She’s thinking, “No way this thing is housebroken.” And doesn’t it look like the unicorn is laughing? Yeah, I wouldn’t trust a [...]
