Realism at it's best.

As realistic as this looks...it's not.

JAMIE SALMON is a British born, Vancouver resident, contemporary sculptor. He specialises in photorealistic sculpture, utilizing materials such as silicone rubber, fibre glass, acrylic and human hair.

The themes of Salmon's work are varied. He says "I like to use the human form as a way of exploring the nature of what we consider to be "real" and how we react when our visual perceptions of this reality are challenged. In our modern society we have become obsessed with our outward appearance, and now with modern technology we are able to alter this in almost anyway we desire. How does this outward change affect us and how we are perceived by others?" (Source)

"Art is a lie that makes us realize truth."

Ahh, Mr. Treacy

Philip Treacy and Norman Parkinson

Phillip Treacy is notoriously known for his wacky designs and out-of-this world ideas. As Nedda Ebo would say,

Phillip Treacy = Mad Hatter.

Check out the Spring/Summer 2010 Collection on his website www.philiptreacy.co.uk.

Love this. Could YOU rock it?

It's not my fault, this is how my momma MADE ME.

Music Monday #4!

Who are the Semi Precious Weapons? Well, if you're a crazed GaGa fan, you'll definitely know who this band of eccentric males are. Headlining with the Lady herself, the band pushes male boundaries while widening their fanbase. If the Monster Ball is coming your way, check out the whacky Lady Gaga and her headliners, Semi Precious Weapons!

I've been obsessed with today's Music Monday song, Magnetic Baby.

I've been magnetic since I was a baby!

Nedda Ebo convinced me to post some of my own photos. I use a Canon 350D(First Generation Rebel), she's ma baby.

YvES saint laurent

Spring has arrrrrrrrrived.. and so has the Fashion. Well, it's always been there but now its back to light cottons and cardigans (instead of ze fur and heavy wool). Yves Saint Laurent always manages to keep his spring line looking sleek and sophisticated--with barely any colour. His spring collection this year consists of organic and pastel colours, with a lot of black and white (more ivory I guess).

This first piece is something I can imagine being worn on a sunny day out in Parié (totally just felt like putting the ¨é" in). The overlapping down at the bottom gives it more of an edge than just a plain-straight-down-skirt. Yahknowwhattimean?

I absolutely LOVE the little petticoat at the top. The colour adds zest to the outfit, which consists of highrise shorts and a brown leather belt to accentuate the waist.

Saturday Shades #1

I love Sunglasses.

So, every Saturday, I'm going to do a post on some sunglasses that I'm diggin'.

 It's...too...much...can't...handle...it...AHH!

This wonderful piece is by Richard J. Evans. Here is his blog: www.richardjevans.blogspot.com

His description: "What I tried to do was visually represent the way information is so easily leaked into today’s society, through the Internet and television. Pretty much anything you can imagine, you can get your hands on. With such an abundance of information, I feel as though it over-flows into our lives and the typography is purposefully hard to read to reflect this."

I think he presented this beautifully and did a fabulous job. Very profound! More photos below the jump.
