holiday gift suggestion. some of my friends could really use this

"A Child's Guide to Nihilism is an activity and coloring book designed to inform children and adults about the Russian nihilists of the 1860s. It asks questions like "what kind of monster would you choose to be?" and "what path would you travel to a better world?," and ends with the triumphant image of the destruction of everything we know."

weird and wonderful collages by a guy with a nice name: alexander hardashkanov






i love this photo of vika gazinskaya from self service mag. the bed, the bookshelves, vika's hair, the orange and nude...





this is a series of commericials for asience shampoo featuring the figure skater mao asada. most tv commercials are so contrived they make me sick, but i think these are done beautifully


i wish we could see figure skaters in long dresses more often


happy holidays!!!

work is sucking the life out of me

my head feels dusty and hollow like this




i woke up this morning humming "venus a a boy" in my head. i love most of bjork's music up til her vespertine album and i love this song because everytime i listen to it, i can picture a different venus...sometimes it's a boyish girl (although the lyrics suggest otherwise) in cropped pants and loafers.. and sometimes it's an awkward boy venus with curly golden hair and porcelain skin, maybe wearing a dress like this

and standing on a dark stage with thick blue velvet curtains, in a pool of blue light


speaking of bjork, ive been looking at a lot of photos of the japanese singer UA lately.
she's one of those people who have succeeded in projecting a very specific image throughout her career. her costumes are usually quite loose and have an asian feeling about them...i think it fits her music well















i especially love her music video for 閃光　senkou

i haven't mentioned this yet on the blog but i want to be a costume designer. im not sure how easy or hard this is gonna be but i figure if other people can do it, so can i. it was less of a decision than it was simply realizing that costume design was it. i like clothes and i like seeing people move in them, but it's when you have a story and characters that clothes really start to get interesting. in an exaggerated world where every second of every minute has some sort of aesthetic significance, clothes aren't just a tool to convey a feeling or set a mood, they are a living part of an person's body, as essential as an arm or leg. when costumes are done right, an actor clothed and an actor naked are really just the same....
clothes have the most power on stage or in movies, and rightfully so i guess, because life most days is complicated and ugly and too distracting for clothes to be of any real importance. but whether it's on the street or in make believe, clothing at its best is an extention of the wearer, it should feel naked. that's the sort of clothing i want to make.

1989 to forever

i want to make sculptures of pot bellied women with big hair

this is going to be another super quick post but i am obsessed with this japanese online shop called 密買東京 (mitsubai tokyo). they sell a small and strange selection of stuff, all of which are made in japan and super random, ranging from ceramics, bags and books to kimonos and 8000dollar sushi tables. all the items come with a pretty lengthy description (very personal too, almost like blog posts) so u can really get to understand the ideas behind them...and also get a sense of the effort and love that the buyers put into selecting them

i often find myself taking photos of faded or cracked walls so this book immediately caught my eye
"book of walls"












and i am in looooooooove with these earth bags by writtenafterwards (really interesting label worth checking out). the backpack is crazy no? they are made of leather so theyre a bit expensive but im hoping i can save up for the smaller handbag





they also sell anrealage's infamous gold button jacket from a few seasons ago, manga sound effect rings, cute paintcoated shoes, stuffed toy chandeliers, uneven bookshelves and other weird things

quick hairy midnight post

just found some nice images on hair salon bloc's blog from their exhibition

















i really need to do something fun with my hair...but i got another hat today, this time by reinhard plank. his hats are minimal but really interesting and they use a special sort of bendy felt. mine is a bit robinhood-y (minus the feathers) and dark green. lately i like black and green together.
