Southern Cali Vibes
Finally had the opportunity to meet the lovely illustrator/artist Lisa Congdon at the cutest design shop Poketo in DTLA. Look at that penetrating smile! Her colorful works and uplifting messages are a longtime favorite of mine, and it was great to see her showing off her book Whatever You Are, Be a Good One. Her spirit and personality are equally as special as her creations.
I’ve blogged about the wonderful writer-artist Kate Durbin before, and I’m happy to be posting about a reading she did from her new book E! Entertainment at Pop-Hop book store in Highland Park.
I was honored to assist Kate in a performance element of her piece “Anna” which is a series of monologues based on
this disturbing video of Anna Nicole Smith in which she is pregnant, intoxicated, and having clown makeup applied to her. As Kate read the different character’s perspectives, I helped to transform her into a clown. It was incredibly intimate and special!
Here I basically needed to show off my amazing pants from Squaresville vintage in LA, but it’s kinda dark.
Just received my copy of the UK zine The Chapess in the mail! It’s an awesome feminist publication run by some great ladies. I can’t wait to contribute! This issue features some photos by Alexis Gross.
Went to see Obvious Child in the theater, and what a hilarious and touching film it was- I seriously recommend it! Jenny Slate was the most endearing, lovable little babe to watch and the writing was fantastic. A simple, intelligent and relatable romantic comedy with an actual dynamic, unconventional female lead!
I’ve been frequenting a new favorite shop of mine, Spellbound Sky, here in Los Angeles. They have beautiful crystal and mineral specimens, and candles and other magical things. It obviously has a calming and welcoming energy, and is beautifully curated and fashioned. These are some of my treasures.
The new Lazy Oaf Space Oddity collection is just divine!
