Me: Go see the Sex and the City movie.
It addresses this topic.
Miranda: could you give me the clifs notes?
Me: Suuuper-abridged version: Wedding becomes bigger than the couple it's for; relationship goes kaput. Fabulous shoes. The end.
Miranda: hahaha
Perfect
You've saved me $12

I hate Firefox 3.

davidcho:
Will someone please email me (thedavidcho at gmail dot com) and explain how to downgrade my browser back to Firefox 2?
UPDATE: Got it.

What's with all the chunky upgrades?
Facebook, Tumblr now Firefox… I’m all for updating interface and usability, but seriously what’s with all these chunky buttons and toolbars? I want something razor-thin and streamlined. I feel like we’re going backwards.
Alex Prager photography.
Suzie and Friends (2008).
Alex Prager’s photographs make me feel like I’m staring at a deliciously campy film, on pause. The film in question was probably a Sofia Coppola remake of Valley of the Dolls; cast, wardrobe and illicit substances courtesy of Dov Charney. The vintage, neon day glow over-saturation and cinematic melodrama creates a tension between playful and eerie, making...

“Rachel Zoe from what I pull from the cultural ether, is a celebrity stylist for Lindsay Lohan and others who reportedly drugs her charges into skinniness. Is that fairly accurate? She’s a […] brined, deflated doll, a beige tarp thrown over a tower of bones all bungied together and animated by greed.” —Josh Stein sums up Rachel Zoe.

WatchSummer Song — by YACHT Directed by Judah Switzer.
If this doesn’t make you want to get up and dance (or at the very least clean your house), you don’t deserve to listen to music. And if you don’t love the song, you have to love the video’s shout out to Freeze Frame.
“Heterosexuality is not normal, it’s just common.”

“Everything we see hides another thing, we always want to see what is hidden by what we see. There is an interest in that which is hidden and which the visible does not show us. This interest can take the form of a quite intense feeling, a sort of conflict, one might say, between the visible that is hidden and the visible that is present.” -René Magritte. (via claytoncubitt)
WatchART TALK! > RICHARD PRINCE
When I hear him talk about getting up in the morning and working on different ongoing series’ in the same day, series’ we’re all quite familiar with, I can’t help but think of Damien Hirst. But somehow I feel that Prince, while definitely making boatloads of money, hasn’t quite lost his way the way Hirst seems to have. And he seems...

WatchGood Morning (teaser) — by Kanye West Directed by Takashi Murakami & Kaikai Kiki.
davidcho:
I forget why exactly this video was made (I don’t think it was for any specific promo because it was never released), but Murakami and Kaikai Kiki debuted it at the gala for the MOCA opening of his exhibit in LA last year— unfortunately they did not play the video at his New York opening. It...

Because the infallible tastemakers over at Pitchfork have decided that, in addition to fair and balanced reviews, they’re also above fact-checking, Björk herself has written a correction on their behalf (via bjork.com):

My new haircut makes me look like Buddha.
Specifically, one of the statues from the United Silla period in East Asia. He is depicted with short, tight “snail shell” curls, which represents his renunciation of the world.
Monks have shaven heads, but according to legend, when the Buddha cut his hair, the uncut portions snapped into these curls and he never had to cut it again.
Desperate haircuts, snail shells, renunciation...

FBI to Internet: "Hey, Do Any of These Priceless...
When patron of the arts William Kingsland died in 2006, he left a big stack of paintings behind. Guess what, some of them were stolen back in the 60s, Animal New York tells us. Now the FBI is—wait for it—crowdsourcing its investigation of the paintings’ origins. They put photos of the paintings on their website.
Quoth the FBI,
“But because of the overwhelming size of the...

hydeordie:
My name is Antsy Milliken. I’m an artist here in Britain. I studied at Goldsmith’s, worked behind the desk at Serpentine, helped Banksy spraying on the street a bit. I’ve been searching around for a way to produce some art that will get attention; it’s so hard nowadays with the diamond skulls and the balloon dogs and all the sex and money… but I’ve come up with the perfect artwork...
