West Willard

So this weekend I’ll be visiting Los Angeles to see my dear friends that I greatly miss. Although, while I’m in LA, I must do a wardrobe makeover. Thank god I have fabulous friends that have impeccable taste. My dear friend, Blayke Kogan, recommends West Willard. I checked the site out. STAMP OF APPROVAL.

I’ll be stopping by.

Here’s the online store.

“Which Gay Harry Potter Character Are You?”

Not sure if you are into the whole Harry Potter craze….

but I just found a link on Out that I couldn’t help but resist to post. The quiz is titled “Which Gay Harry Potter Character Are You?”

This just sounds like the most ridiculous quiz ever. It humors me, truly.

Film of the Day-Boys Don’t Cry (1999)

Directed by Kimberly Pierce

“A stirring, emotionally true testament to foolish bravery as well as shameful evidence of the severity with which it is so often punished.”-Chicago Tribune

Adelmo’s

Dallas, Texas has way too many great restaurants.
If you haven’t had a bite to eat at Adelmo’s you must go.

Personally, I’m a duck fanatic. I love trying duck at different places (really disappointed with Aurora’s by the way). Adelmo’s had killer duck. They also have terrific pasta if that’s your thing.

You can check out their menu on their official website.

It’s located on Cole Ave.

Artist Alert-Lisa Solberg

Meet Lisa Solberg, a Chicago native who moved to Los Angeles. She makes incredible art that she describes herself as “energetic”. Watch the posted video and you’ll see how this magical energy is released. I was introduced to her by a friend from school that knows her and when I first gazed at her art I was astounded. Get this! She’s only in her early twenties. She credits Pollack as a huge inspiration. Here are a few pieces of her art:

Pick your battle and roll.

Film of the Day-Gimme Shelter (1970)

Directed by the Maysles Brothers

“There is one compelling reason to check out Gimme Shelter aside from wanting to wallow in nostalgic Flower Power martyrdom. It’s probably the best full-scale look at Mick Jagger that exists in the movies.”- NY Magazine

Oaky Doaky

Not sure if you guys are aware of the NYC based clothing company known as Oak but they have new items you can find on their online store. Some are really great. Here are a few items that caught my eye-

What do you guys think? I love them. If you ever feel like buying me a “thank you” or a generous gift you know what I want. Okay?

Film of the Day- Naked (1993)

“This is a painful movie to watch. But it is also exhilarating, as all good movies are, because we are watching the director and actors venturing beyond any conventional idea of what a modern movie can be about.”- Roger Ebert

Because I Know You All Love Chloe…

Our favorite indie goddess, Chloe, is now in this readily available music video for the band Coconut Records. For everyone that doesn’t know, Coconut Records is led by actor Jason Schwartzman. Hipsterrunoff doesn’t even know this music video seems to mean…I’m with them. It’s cute though. I guess. You can watch Sevigny skate around and flip her hair. That’s always nice, considering how beautiful she is. I wish I could be just as beautiful as Chloe…maybe one day when I can skate.
