Yves Saint Laurent

The de Young keeps blowing my mind with their recent choices of exibitions. On November 1st, a forty-year retrospective of the work of the late Yves Saint Laurent opens at the de Young Museum. The exhibition will include over 130 accessorized outfits belonging to the Foundation Pierre BergĂ© – Yves Saint Laurent as well as Saint Laurent’s drawings, photographs and videos.



"In the 1960s Yves Saint Laurent made an indelible mark on fashion with clothing emblematic of the new modernity. Yves Saint Laurent, organized by FAMSF and The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts in collaboration with the Fondation Pierre BergĂ©-Yves Saint Laurent, explores the designs that made Saint Laurent famous, and his inspirations drawn from art, theatre, history, literature, and nature. This exhibition contains nearly 130 accessorized garments and sketches illustrating the lines, colors, and fundamentals of Saint Laurent’s work. This is the only U.S. venue. A catalogue accompanies this exhibition."

Funniest Baby Potential


My favorite celebrity couple had a baby!

Archie Arnett was born on Saturday and weighed in at 8 lbs., 1 oz., their rep Lewis Kay said in a statement.
“Amy, Will and Archie are all healthy and resting comfortably,” Kay said.

Friday

RIP Sim Card

My Treo totally screwed me. It was sitting on my desk, in it's usual hidden spot, to the right of my computer, when all of a sudden... it restarted. But this wasn't just any old restart- this was a system restart. I lost everything. EVERYTHING. My contacts, photos, videos, ring tones, text messages, you name it. Even my high score on the dumb jewel game.

I can't believe how upset I am. And the fact that I am so upset and reliant on an electronic device is making me even more upset. BLEH.

I saw this toilet on Friday, and screamed. Not because it was disgusting (it was) but because some super cool person made a slew of "Angela Chase" bumperstickers.

If you don't know who Angela Chase is, you must have been living under a rock in the 90s.

Quote of the Day

When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle.
Then I realized God doesn’t work that way, so I stole
one and prayed for forgiveness.

Rock 'n Roll the fuck out.


September 11–October 18, 2008
West Coast Premiere
Rock 'n' Roll
by Tom Stoppard
Directed by Carey Perloff


A rapturous, decades-spanning tale of Prague's rock revolution, Tom Stoppard's Rock 'n' Roll follows the passions and politics of a Marxist professor in Cambridge and his Rolling Stones–obsessed protĂ©gĂ© fighting for freedom in Soviet-dominated Prague. Nominated for four 2008 Tony Awards, Rock 'n' Roll pulsates to the beat of the Stones, Pink Floyd, and Syd Barrett, Floyd's disturbed genius, whose reclusive life becomes a haunting motif of the play.


"Triumphant . . . Stoppard's finest play"
The New York Times


*SO I saw this lovely piece of shit play, and the only thing I enjoyed was the soundtrack of classic rock playing during the scene changes. I don't want to hear a crappy dude rant about how politics influence music in real life, let alone a play. At least in real life I can pretened like I'm listening, smile and nod, and continue to scam on other crappy dudes.

It also could have been that I was so distracted by our crew talking and laughing the whole time, and getting evil eyes from other play-goers. We ended up leaving a third of the way in, only to gather in the theatre bar and be judged as "first years" by an older, harsh faced woman. Good thing I got the tickets for free.

I would still date a T Rex.

Dating has become pretty ferocious, so this is pretty legit.
