Originally a travel "(b)log" on my adventures in China. Now just a random, self-indulgent compilation of things I dig.
(Think: androgyny, rock n' roll, sports, sneakers, menswear, advertising, digital, Gaga.)
Definitely one of my very favorite artists, in part because I love portraiture (mostly of people and animals -- anything with a pulse). And I think it's also the athlete in me -- I'm drawn to the energy, dynamic movement, and strength that Ruben depicts in his subjects.
Coco Sumner: lead-singer of broody-pop group I Blame Coco, and daughter of Sting. No surprise that I'm intrigued - I'm a sucker for catchy tunes, and obviously the whole heroin-chic/androgynous-rocker look. Also digging her husky voice/vibe. Noticed she was opening for La Roux, will have to keep an eye on her.
Big congrats to Cammi Granato for (finally) being inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame. Captain of the '98 gold-medal winning USA Womens Olympic Hockey team, she was definitely a hero of mine.
Had this Wheaties box (sans autographs) hanging up in my room for years.
