Play - Lost A Girl

"The powerful femme fatale allure of Tahiti Bulmer’s voice never gets lost in the swirl of ethereal oohs and las. “Lost A Girl” is the first track to be leaked from their upcoming sophomore album, The Optimist, out on March 8th." - via flavorwire

What's Your 'Six-Word Memoir'?

Smith Magazine invited writers "famous and obscure" to distill their own life stories into exactly six words. It All Changed in an Instant is the fourth collection of very, very brief life stories from Smith. The tiny memoirs are sometimes sad, often funny — and always concise.

It All Changed in an Instant is full of well-known names — from activist Gloria Steinem ("Life is one big editorial meeting"), to author Frank McCourt ("The miserable childhood leads to royalties"), to actress Molly Ringwald ("Acting is not all I am").

I suppose I'd re-purpose my one-line bio - under 5'1 frame, was super tall.

Just Arrived, A Blurry Palette

Am suddenly inspired to go home and decorate. Kateri dropped off photographs that I purchased from her show last year. I won't show you which ones, you'll have to come see for yourself. They're rad. I forgot how much I loved them until I saw them sitting pretty on my desk this morning.

On top of that, the prints I ordered from 20x200 came in at lunchtime. I purchased two variations of Lauren DiCioccio's: color codification dot drawings. Her source materials are based from fashion mags. She assigns a color to every letter in the alphabet, lays frosted mylar over a magazine page, and applies tiny dots of paint over every character on the page.

Lovely. She calls it "a system of Braille for the color inclined".
