what it feels like for a girl

we watched the cement garden last night. charlotte gainsbourg killed it, even at 22 years old. there's just something about the way she moves and speaks that is so beautiful. this movie is based on the novel, and directed by charlotte's uncle. we enjoyed the movie and even jack's creepy adolescent character.
see her singing a song from her second album (the first one was put out 20 years ago), 5:55, here.

it would be great to see her as the new face for balenciaga.
i still think that her best performance was in one of my favorite movies, science of sleep.

you never know when your pet will go

it must be kitty season, cause i found the most amazing kitten party at the humane society today. these ones were so fucking precious that they made me cry real tears. do your life a favor and click on this one:
p.s. i also might have had tears when i watched sex and the city with hannah and christina on sunday. don't tell anyone.

harmony korine's new film

we've been waiting for mister lonely to come out in local theaters but it looks like we'll have to start waiting for the dvd instead. harmony korine directed and/or wrote the screenplay for kids, gummo, julien donkey boy and ken park. they all make you wanna take a rape shower afterwords, but are still must-see's.

new gang members

the southern gentleman just bought a brand new triumph. he's now one of the tightest new members of the scooter gang that's slowly turning into a motorcycle gang.

the funnest thing to do on a sunday.goat sesh

you're gonna miss me when i'm gone

the morrissey video for his new single "all you need is me" is finally out! our friend freckle face (lee) actually worked on this video last month and i was forbidden to blog about it. i've really grown to love this song, maybe because it was so exciting that day we watched the top secret footage of the million takes, or maybe just cause it's a good song.
i like this video cause it captures a lot of morrissey's charming facial expressions.

jesse kamm

jesse hand sews each piece of her line in her la studio. she also creates the drawings that make up her textile designs, and hand prints them herself. her pieces are actually numbered like works of art, and are available only to a handful of boutiques around the world.
another reason why jesse is cool: she spends half the year in panama with her boyfriend on an eco-conscous reserve because "there are no fast food joints and strip malls", and they have "50 cent cerveza's".

this must be the place

thanks john for taking me to the root on the back of your scooter.
thanks joe pease for wearing matching shoesthanks neighbor steve for singing my favorite carter family tune "you're gonna be sorry you let me down" thanks casey for making up this new drinking game. also, big news. casey asked rockytop to spend the rest of their days together.

she said yes!

herb and merlin

jeff king just got a couple of baby goats. no big deal. here's hannah (the designer of with hearts in my eyes) feeding them some delicious leaves. these guys are only three months old!

hannah's wearing her new rose top and judi rosen's stove pipe jeans.

casey collins

on sunday we sat in the park for casey's birthday. casey can make me laugh without even saying anything. but then he says stuff...

"life is just what happens when you're not drinking beer"
"could you please just let me get in the way of myself?"everyone loves some steve n amy

happy birthday casey.

when i saw you

a while back a girl named molly butterfoss bought a necklace from me. i noticed a link to her website, so i clicked on it to learn that she's an illustrator from minneapolis. i found this one drawing of the ronettes that i especially loved. i just finally got a chance to inquire about it and ask if she'd like to make prints of it for bona drag and she agreed! these will be up on the site by tuesday or so.
has anyone read the ronnie spector autobiography? just wondering if i need to read it.
