This photo of Frank Lloyd Wright is spectacular. 

j'adore....

....Pelle Lights for the design of their thick cord suspenders and brass hardware. 

ersatz sensibility

  Guggenheim- check it out.

yum

Artist, Karen Kilimnik entices you with a Degas-esque stroke and then hits you with a smokey eye....



.... total yum.

Drinks Before Dinner, a Paul Davis work... is a gentle cocktail of Alex Colville and Spanish fly.  Love it.

Monograms

Personal tones of insignia are delightful.  Bill Crosby is known for his spinning wheel of dreamcoat sweaters, the Lone Ranger had Tonto and JFK for his Wayfarers.
During a Metro North snafu (and in a sly bid to grace the preteen grid) I tried on my son's signature navy ear muffins.  They are actually.... quite fabulous. www.urbanears.com.

best selling design of sunglasses.... in history

Gimme Moore

Gagosian is satiating Henry Moore enthusiasts with "Late Large Forms" .
Once the squad of perfect storms relinquish, the exhibition is scheduled to open this month in Lower Manhattan.  Bucolic settings are the usual digs for these pieces, fallow gallery space is not their typical "hamster wheeling" zip code. 
It will be curious to see how the behemoths play out when strangled in captivity.  

From hank to hendrix

...nothing beats a Joel Bernstein photographic essay of  the Harvest Moon legend.   London's Snap Gallery has dedicated it's walls to this stubble burning bomb.  Neil Young in  his glory.

Je Voudrais

1.  Black Chuck Taylors
2.  Poolside's rendition of Harvest Moon
3. To be in the glare of Bec Brittain's Shy 088
4. A generator with Snake Plissken endurance

Funestration

 For December, Disney will be usurping the piano nobile of Barney's position along the Madison Avenue landscape.  "Electric Holiday" is the theme for this season's annual window blitz.  Designed to assault pedestrians with a multi-platform score of music, lights and fashion... theatrics will carol the architecture of street life.
