Birthday Wishes from Fat Jew

Saturday, December 12 was my 17th birthday and we did it big like Spring Break Miami 1993. The Fat Jew took the courtesy of stopping by my wall and wishing me the best. Balling out of control. (Click the picture to enlarge).

PUTS: From Real to Reel

VIMBY - People Under The Stairs

Halston RTW Spring 2012 "Pure Metallic"

This group of mainly long and short dresses is a reinterpretation of the Halston patterns from 1978 and 1981. Some of my favorites:

Team Awesome

M.I.A. at the Jimmy Choo for H&M party.

?????????????????

Rihanna sucks anyways, but what's really good with her hair right now ??? She looks like a fucking ram, even her friend is laughing at her.

Ray Tintori

Ray Tintori is an up and coming director that I have a feeling is about to blow up. He has directed MGMT's "Kids", "Time to Pretend", and "Electric Feel" music videos, as well as The Killers' "Spaceman" and Chairlift's "Evident Utensil" music videos, which was nominated at this years VMA's. In addition, Spike Jonze just recruited him this summer to write, direct and produce a new film called "Light Boxes". His first short film is one named "Jettison Your Loved Ones" which showed at the Slamdance Film Festival. His sophomore effort is one named "Death to the Tinman". It was made for his senior thesis at Wesleyan University, from which he graduated in 2006. In 2007 it showed at the Sundance Film Festival and recieved an award. This film was brought to my attention by my English teacher, Mr. Illman, who was Tintori's teacher way back when. Tintori contacted Mr. Illman when he made this video because he wanred him to be in it, as Mr. Illman is critically acclaimed for his excellent reenactments of Shakespeare verbatim from memory during class time. He plays the character of Paul. He showed it to us in class the other day and I can't stop re-watching it. It's really a cool film. There's so many layers and you can tell it was extremely well thought out. I love the plot and there's a million different little aspects that add to its genius. Sooooooo.....watch it.

Carried Away

I'm conflicted about this album. The problem is that People Under the Stairs are so incredible, it's truly impossible for them to make bad music. They keep releasing albums almost every year and they're all consistently good. The thing is that they haven't really made anything mind blowing since The Next Step and O.S.T. It's like they've hit a pinnacle and can't go any farther. I don't want to be disappointed in Carried Away, and I'm not, just a little bored. Anyways, Carried Away is by far the dopest track on the album.

Chloë Sevigny for Opening Ceremony

I'm feeling this collection. Love the unisex aspect.

Christopher Kane Blows My Mind

This dress is so fucking awesome.

"Barbie has cankles." - Christian Louboutin

"Christian Louboutin to redesign Barbie doll without 'fat legs' 10.15.09:

High-end Parisian shoe designer Christian Louboutin is about to add fuel to the flames of complaints that the fashion industry's models are too thin by offering up a new version of Mattel's iconic fashion Barbie doll that will be actually be thinner than its original design, reported The Telegraph. The designer reportedly felt the doll had 'fat legs' and 'cankles' and plans to make them slimmer in a version of three new dolls, rebuking complaints Mattel has faced that the doll is unrealistically thin.

'They're completely wild and even come with mini Louboutin boxes for the shoes,' a Louboutin spokeswoman said, adding that Louboutin 'found her ankles were too fat.'" - From STYLESIGHT

Ghostdini

Ghostface Killah is performing at BB King's on November 11th at 9:00 p.m. Tix starting at $26.00. I'm going, are you ?

Ghost is one of my favorite MC's of all time. Although some people may call this album wack, it's far from disappointing. There's a lot of R&B and lots of collaborations, but he's already defined himself enough that he's able to release an album like this. He's older now so instead of just spitting about bitches and gat's he's telling stories of a more solitary life. Not to say that there isn't some of that classic in there, because there definitely is. Lyrically he's as on point as ever as well. He's almost 40 now and this album definitely shows a more mature side of him without losing that special Starks flavor. He definitely continues to live up to his self-proclamation as "one of the most creative niggas in the game."

SCREW THIS MOVIE

LaGuardia is the REAL DEAL. They should have filmed it at our school and cast only students whom attend. Plus, we're getting no credit for providing the means for them to even create this movie. We're poor and can barely keep our studio classes going. If anyone cared, a percentage of the proceeds would be going directly to our school.

Bored to Death

Bored to Death is a new HBO comedy series premiering September 20th at 9:30 p.m. It stars Jason Schwartzman, Ted Danson, and Zach Galifianakis. Schwartzman plays a struggling novelist with a drinking problem. After getting dumped by his girlfriend, played by Olivia Thirlby (she rocks), he decides to post an ad on Craigslist as a private detective. Ted Danson, best known for his role on "Cheers", plays his boss, who has recently discovered the joys of pot. Zach Galifianakis plays his deadbeat comic book illustrator best friend. I'm excited, to say the least. Plus, Jason Schwartzman (who in the past portrayed one of my favorite movie characters of all time in Wes Anderson's "Rushmore") fucking rocks.

Fall Tube

Premiered September 9th. Wednesday's @ 9:00 on Fox.

Fat Jew/Team Facelift/Baron Von Fancy/Murder She Tote

Fat Jew, a.k.a. The King of Brunch, Jew Diamond Phillips, Jewther Vandross, the bi-sexual/ugly Rob Lowe, the Sultan of Schmooze, Young Ted Danson, Jewbix Cube, Bobby Lobster, Baby Gap, Jewnafish Salad, is an MC in the New York-based rap group that goes by the name of Team Facelift. Famous for songs such as "I Wanna Have Your Baby" and "Lotion in the Basket", what more is there to say? They're almost as amazing as Fat Jew himself. He is, in fact, a fat Jewish man. Coming to you live from the Upper West Side, he's famous for his antics which he so publicly displays on his twitter. He's completely enamored with lounging in bathtubs full of assorted items such as cheeseburgers, cooked spaghetti, DVD's, etc. He has strange obsessions with Who's the Boss? and Golden Girls, Steven Seagal, and Fran Drescher. He also loves thongs, whether they're made of leather, denim, or fettuccine. His favorite words are "gangster" and "epic". He's constantly perplexed with the depth of his bellybutton, always pushing the limits of what he can exactly fit down there. Last but not least, he's known as The King of Brunch because, well, it's pretty self explanatory. He does brunch everyday, 7 days a week. But what's a brunch without the key ingredient? What might that be, you say? Cold cuts, of course!!! Wherever Fat Jew goes, there are always endless cold cuts involved. I was lucky enough to spot Fat Jew myself a couple weeks ago outside a bar in the West Village, and let me tell you, he's even more amazing in person. He is the epitome of a true New York City character. Which brings me to Baron Von Fancy. "Baron Von Fancy is the most elusive and sought-after artist/designer in the entire world. Nay, the universe. The New York Post once described him as 'The enigmatic face of the art world that is shrouded in a brilliant and mysterious shadow.' He is rarely seen, yet his impact is felt by all. He designs his garments while locked in a fortress made of live doves, often while getting hand-bathed by incredibly handsome heterosexual men. He burst onto the scene in 1999 when he unveiled his now-famous ostrich sandals at a cocktail party in Berlin. In Baron's world, luxury is an all-consuming passion. Slip on a smoking jacket, sip a cold glass of rare and expensive imported breast-milk beside a roaring hearth, and ask yourself 'Am I fucking fancy enough to indulge in the true swank of Baron Von Fancy?'" The Baron makes paintings, creatures, patterns, photographs, sculptures, and clothing. It's unclear whether the Baron himself is actually a member of Team Facelift or not, (which I suspect he probably is) but whoever he is he definitely loves them. They are often the center of his work, usually the photographs, which are pretty fucking comical. Sometime this winter Fat Jew began tweeting about his "new tote-bag line", appropriately deemed "Murder She Tote". The two are connected in such a way that Baron Von Fancy lists the patterns that appear on the totes as his artwork on his website. The bags are mediocre, but I recently purchased the only cool one, and it fucking rocks. The pattern is Andy Warhol's Marilyn Monroe portrait, except there are little faces of dogs in place of her boobs, and it says Murder She Tote on it. Yeah. I'd be jealous too. But basically that's the story. Here are all the links you'll want to check out after reading this:

Kanye West to design a line for Gap?

Kanye West has been interning at Gap, but the interweb is saying there's a possibility the man himself might be set to design his very own line for Gap. Read it about it here on The Cut: http://nymag.com/daily/fashion/2009/07/delightful_kanye_west_rumored.html

Sock Sandals

Ummmmm.......WTF??? I'm seeing these everywhere now and I really don't get them. I don't understand the concept. Are they supposed to look like socks that you cut holes out of??? They're so fugly...what's the appeal???

Jeggings

I just don't get it. First of all, this trend brings up the question of whether leggings as pants are socially acceptable or not. Personally, I say never, unless a treadmill is involved. I guess it's tolerable if one's ass is covered by a shirt or whatever, but still. Honestly, if you want to wear jeans, just wear jeans, not ugly leggings that will probably give you a camel toe anyways.

New York Mag on NYC Prep

^Hahahahahaha.

http://nymag.com/arts/tv/features/57763/

This article is brilliant (you should read it) and puts a very realistic POV on the show. They explain how the show is marketed as "a high-stakes drama about the 'elite of the elite'" but how it is actually "a comedy about the silliness of the rich"...so true. I love how they explain the way the girls speak, "a hybrid of Valley-Girl-speak and East Coast boarding school lockjaw, meant to communicate that a person in blasé, unconcerned, cooler than you". Personally, my favorite part was when they discussed how Kelli and this other chick are no longer friends because one of them didn't invite the other to their birthday. The article goes on to discuss the "Real Housewives" shows, and it really is just genius. Everything they say is spot-on, LOL hilarious. They even quote one of Jersey's housewives praising Bernie Madoff in saying that although "his country shit on him, he still loves his country, and that shows character." Are you kidding? We showed him mercy, he's lucky he's still living. I'm convinced more and more that all of these people might actually be mentally retarded. Later it lays out the Peterson legacy (PC's family), which includes a former CEO of Lehman Brothers, along with the founder of Sesame Street. They say "he feels humiliated, degraded, and hurt by the show." Awwww, poor PC.

More Brüno

Despite being extremely disappointed in the GQ interview, I was very much pleased to see Brüno in The Hot Seat in Time Out New York last week. It's effing hysterical. Some of my favorite questions:

Janice Dickinson asks: “Who is the world’s hottest model?”
It vould be Tiger Voods. He looks great in all his golfing outfits, und on top of zat he’s President of America.
Rainn Wilson asks: “What color is Tuesday?”
Vell, Tuesday is mein colonic day, so for me it’s every color of ze rainbow!
Joan Rivers asks: “Who the hell is Brüno?”
Who is Brüno? Zat is fine coming from you. You’ve had so much surgery ze question should be: “Vhat is Joan Rivers?”
