MV::ACE NORTON DIRECTS MOUNTAIN GOATS "SAX ROHMER #1"

**Hit play or video will not load properly.

It’s inevitable that with the endless supply of creative media to be released into our world, that some work will be “seen” and “done” and therefore, not that refreshing.
However, even though this video may feel familiar, it still has a rather unique take on spelling out lyrics for a viewer….sort’a like a hipster sing along?

EVENT::MILOS FORMAN RETROSPECTIVE AT MOMA

Czech director Milos Forman has had a long and prolific career that has been both controversial and successful, and now the Museum of Modern Art is honoring the iconic director with a retrospective to be held February 14th-28th.

“The international commercial and critical success of Milos Forman's films is a testament to the uniqueness of his blend of passionate, personal interpretation, a remarkable ability to capture the zeitgeist, and a healthy dose of black humor. This complete retrospective celebrates the "Formanesque" vision he has sustained over forty-five years.” -Moma

Shooting everything from band photos to editorial, her work evokes an array of sensations that looks as though it could’ve been more of a collaborative effort than a one-woman show.

DESIGN/BOOKS::TASCHEN PARIS INTERIORS

Unfortunately, the innateness of Parisian style cannot be taught! But it can be copied.
Putting aside personal style (which I’ve attempted to achieve with messy hair and pout-y lips) I’m also referring to interiors.
For the many obsessed with Paris homes, you can skim through the pages of Taschen’s Paris Interiors book. After the first few pages, you’ll be on a hunt for eclectic findings and new color swatches to emulate that Parisian je ne sais quoi.

BUY::TASCHEN PARIS INTERIORS $19.99

BEAUTY::ARMANI LUMINOUS SILK FOUNDATION

Foundation has a bad rep for those with oily prone skin. Using the wrong product can make you greasier than an oven baked pizza.
Thankfully the genius of Armani Beauty has just the right product to balance and illuminate your face without that dreaded shine.
Luminous Silk Foundation is an oil-free fluid with exclusive Micro-fil™ technology suitable for all skin types.
I live by this stuff. It’s a product to easily become addicted to.

AD::SUPERBOWL '08 COMMERCIALS

Sure, some may watch the Superbowl for…what is it? Oh yes, football.
But some of us watch it for the advertisements, which are the most expensive, creative, and sometimes the most out of this world spots to ever be produced.
And in case you missed any of them (shame on you), then you still have a chance to watch them thanks to our crazy culture of Internet media.
