patrick cariou and the brooke shield/tate modern fiasco had anything to do with it? or was it pop and purple’s fault?

not as beautiful and elegant as the XJ13 but still one of my favorites to lick before i die. by xy
stopped by after dinner at the coveted le bain which mirrors the legendary lame-o 80’s le bain douche in paris with an added 2 feet by 2 feet cesspool that i can not believe anyone would dare to enter. over rated place unless you’re getting free drinks, and have the right people with you like pp and kl to make any place fun… but i guess that’s how everything is. i’d go to the boom boom room before this and lord knows how much i hate the boom boom room. by xy

well, i guess everyones read about the gap logo issue, for those who live in caves, gap showed the redesign of their logo last week on the web. designers, along with customers and regular folks just trashed the design all over the world. all this pressure on the brand lead them to do an announcement that they would step backward and get their old logo back.
that is not a wrong thing since the redesign was actually a real crap but what is strange is that no-where on the net i found any article talking about the agency responsible for the redesign. when tropicana faced the same story few month ago and went back to their old packaging, peter arnel studio was clearly made responsible. on the other hand, who the hell would came up with such a lame logo? laird & partner that are in charge of their image? i don’t think so.
anyway my point is that gap never intended to replace their logo but to reinforce it, so they came up with the crapiest thing ever and let the buzz grow to eventually let their consumers think the brand really cares about their comments and involvement. is it making any sense? by pp
waris’ the tea room located under the NYC highline is set up through October 17th and it will surely be fun to stop by at tea time. by dd
not that the topic of the song is that invigorating but the delivery is indeed.
thanx to CM, i’ve been listening to the moldy peaches the past few days, and must admit they have something special. don’t love the unnecessary graphic verbage but they top the charts for not giving a shit and that is in itself quite cool. the favorite track by far is “new york city’s like a graveyard” a good one to get a sense of the band. the first time i heard “who’s got the crack” was by pete doherty on an unreleased copy of the babyshambles album, and was surprised to find it was a cover as it’s so relevant to mr. doherty himself. by dd
was reading about the the siberian tiger, dont ask me why, but i found an interesting point that led me to think… the rare siberian tiger is near extinction, and less than 300 remain in the wild. during the soviet rule, they were protected, and numbers controlled, but after the fall and the western style business endeavors their numbers plummeted, along with their long protected habitat, the siberian woods, cut down for lumber, all due to lack of government spending and high demand through the poachers on behalf of the tigers. it made me think, about big businesses polluting our world, dumping toxins in the amazon, depleting our oceans, buying out our governments, cutting down our forests…. everyone wants to be rich (not a problem, who doesn’t want to be comfortable and travel the world) but at what fuckin’ cost? as much as individual might is right, and a small government is good, it surely has its downfalls. you need a government to protect what belongs to us all, because individuals can be greedy, and that’s a key role of a government. now does that have to be socialism? or is it just being a human? hopefully a logical one. by xy
sean and kemp by terry richardson
looks like sean had better taste in women than john… well i guess that’s not so nice to say. i do like yoko as annoying as she sometimes is she made john a better man, i mean how one can go from writing “love me do” to “working class hero” is beyond me. by dd
was listening to lennon’s imagine and got to the bit about : “imagine no possessions, i wonder if you can…” and was picturing the footage of lennon and yoko in the back of their white rolls royce and thought… i wonder if you can, john? I suppose not. any how the man was amazing and the world is less great without him but this no-possession business just doesn’t work so well. the rest i can deal with and agree but I need a few of ma’ things around. by dd
