jokes are funny

we saw ricky gervais do stand up in los angeles on saturday night. it's my belief that the original office is by far the funniest tv show ever invented, even better than seinfeld. the live show was real funny stuff but mostly when you could hear bits of david brent's character coming through.
stand up doesn't generally sound like a funny time. but c'mon guy, it's ricky gervais. the only other time i've seen a stand up comedian was mitch hedberg 5 or 6 years ago. and WOW, i hate to say it but he might win.

cory madley

every time i visit lydia in venice, we plan to stop in at the madley boutique before dinner. but every time things always happen like dress up parties or finishing a glass of wine, and we never make it before it closes.
but last weekend that all changed and i visited the shop not once but twice - and i might even have to say it's my new favorite LA boutique. Every piece is gorgeous. luckily cory madley was there so i was able to meet her and fall in love with her and also place a wholesale order for some of her amazing knit dresses. i already bought one for myself off the rack because i really don't think i could have lived another day without it. i also picked up some of her beautiful handmade necklaces which will be up in the shop by next week. here are a few images of her work.

and here's the lovely cory herself. her skin is so white that it almost has a purple glow against her orange hair. she reminds me of an amethyst. have i mentioned that i'm really into crystals now? much more on that later.

she-bible

since forever i've been meaning on taking more photos of the she-bible treasure island top because it's much more beautiful in person - especially with high waist bottoms. but look, ranna from finland did it for me.

available in the shop, on sale for $22

the whale story

joe pease stayed home in his room the other day instead of going skateboarding, and he made this little film clip. it's so beautiful it blew my mind. (turn on your volume)


the second time i cried in two weeks.
joe pease, you are awesome and i really hope you never go back to live in australia.

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.
