LACE Gallery, Friday The 13th!

LACE, Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions holds its infamous Valentine's Day benefit on Friday the 13th, making the lovers' day seem more like Halloween. For those of us who already tend to view the chocolate-heart holiday as truly horrifying, it's sufficient cause to celebrate among like-minded, art-loving skeptics. The multimedia mayhem kicks off with a video screening, followed by DJ sets courtesy of Dublab, Wildness, and KXLU. Sir Heffington and the Fingered Dancers hold an impromptu dance class, and a Korean taco truck awaits curbside. Thematic costumes in the "Bloody Valentine" vein are strongly encouraged.

I love these tights. I love black with gold. I want to make them and other black things with gold bits glued to it.

Artist to Watch: Lyndsey Lesh!

Lyndsey Lesh is an artist I found on my favorite website to find inspiration, FFFFOUND! . I pulled some of her work to reference in my own technique and have since been a huge fan. I love her fun style, bright colors and blended mediums of watercolor, sumi ink and colored Prisma and graphite pencils. I admire the way she illustrates people; capturing them in a happy, silly mood. Her work is light-hearted and full of humorous surprises in every corner.

I was so lucky to have a certain special someone to pick up on my admiration for this rising talent and thus received my favorite present ever. LOOOOOOOK, IT'S ME!!!

Lyndsey was a recently featured artist on Beautiful Decay , a go-to website for emerging and established contemporary artists. Please give her a warm welcome as she just moved to Los Angeles and is working with Beautiful Decay now! Congratulations Lyndsey!!

Love At First Step

Oh my eyes and whiskers, these are toooo cute!

Vivienne Westwood teamed up with fellow Brit, plastic footwear queen Melissa to create the Vivienne Westwood Anglomania for Melissa Lady Dragon. The collaboration resulted in a pastel aray of adorable plastic slingback peeptoe heels topped off with a shiny plastic heart. I would wear the Peach and Black with a poofy girly black dress and black tights. They all look so delicious! Just like candy, but sooooo much better then waxy Valentine's day box candy!

Onra: Chinoiseries

French-Vietnamese DJ-producer Onra visited his grandparent's homeland in Saigon and returned with a crateful of old Chinese and Vietnamese vinyl. He cut and mixed them up with beats that make this wonderful new album, Chinoiseries.

I discovered Onra from a Dublab set. I listen to their webcast all the time. It's such a nice break from my music sometimes. Listen at DubLab.com

Am I Going To Be Like This Forever???

Found this video on Holy Taco, a funny guy that writes for guys, but is pretty hilarious and has mean Photoshop skills. It's basically porn. Thought this bit was pretty hilarious.

"Is this real life dad??"
