umm Lady GaGa

First she was going on tour with Kayne West,who yes is a total douche, but still makes good music, and I was so excited to get tickets and see them both perform. I think both of their musical aesthetics would compliment the other. Then that tour was canceled. But, the Lady that is GaGa rose from the ashes and announced a new solo tour. Again I was so excited at the prospect to see her again on tour, but I was resigned to the fact that I most likely would not be able to attend this concert.

As fate would have it, M actually got me tickets to see the show in December but felt he had to tell me early so I could rearrange my schedule. I couldn't be more excited to see her since this will be the second time I have seen Lady GaGa this year. I saw her first tour, The Fame Ball, back in March, and now will be seeing, The Monster Ball, in December. I'm already addicted to her new single Bad Romance, and can't wait to see it performed live.

Bananarama

I love this song!! The new Bananarama song kicks ass.

new posting

Guess what a new posting from the laxed dandy flaneur. Who knew writing a blog would get so boring after a while? Anyway, I am going to try to start up again especially since lately I've been actually doing things. So here is to more current postings.

big bang theory

Big Bang / With U

This is a video from my current pop obsession, Korean boy band, Big Bang. Randomly surfing on youtube for Uhm Jun Hwa videos I came across the group. One of the boys, T.O.P., raps on Uhm's hit D.I.S.C.O. Anyway, I'm totally in love with this video and the song. The band members are G-Dragon, T.O.P., Tae Young, Dae Sung, Seung Ri. I ended up searching for their music and now have their two English language albums.

madonna and child

Check out the new images from Madonna's photo shoot for the new issue of W Magazine. Apparently the shoot was inspired by the film the Graduate. The young model, Jesus Luz, is also rumored to be Madonna's current love interest. I doubt the irony of Madonn and Jesus has been lost on the material girl. Hotness!

Happy Valentine's Day!

It doesn't matter who you love, just as long as you get love and give it in return.

b o u n d to art

This past Wednesday I attended the opening of a new exhibition at Clark titled " bound." The exhibition shows the work of sculpture Diana Cherbuliez, painter Naoe Suzuki, and installation artist Marguerite White. All three artists, working in their different respective mediums, confront ideas around the term bound and the idea of bondage versus infinite possibility and space. One of the artists, Marguerite White, is a personal friend and I was thrilled to see her work in relation to the work of Diana and Naoe.

White's installation piece which consisted of charcoal drawings of taxidermy birds, chalk drawn boxes, and silhouettes, titled "Archive" was an interesting look at the idea go between life and death transitional space. Images that reflect birds in flight while frozen and death and restricted to the boundaries of the paper, were an interesting juxtaposition to the small delicate paintings of Suzuki of conjoined twins. Cherbuliez's bridges and other sculptures were mind boggling in their intricacy and obsessive quality. The opening was a great success and I was thrilled to go out with them after the show for drinks and talk more about their work and other generalities.

Check out some of the images below from the show:

rando connections

So, last week I got a phone call from a really old friend of mine. I had totally forgotten that I had ran into her sister a week or so a go outside of Fusion and had given her my number to pass along to her sister. Needless to say when my brash friend called me out of the blue I was a little bewildered until I pieced it all together.

Anyway, it was great catching up with each other and hopefully we will stay in contact more often. Though I swear the phone call was a little serendipitous because my old BFF informed me that she is seriously considering going through the process of becoming a man. This had been like the fourth time I had a conversation that week about f2m transsexuals and now a friend was reveling her own inclination transform their gender. Not that it was a huge shock, I always suspected and even asked her point blank about it many years ago. Either way I am happy for her and hope it all works out.

I just hope she doesn't take it all to seriously like a lot of f2m and haves some fun with it. Speaking of which, how annoying is Max on the L word? I can't deal with his storyline any more!!
