Say Yes To Pink

Mountbatten pink (or Plymouth pink or 997A8D) is a naval camouflage color invented by Louis Mountbatten of the British Royal Navy during World War II, developed to disguise warships during periods of dawn and dusk.

Interesting how changing social/gender conventions work out. Then again, a big old pink battleship can probably only hide you for so long..

KOH-VISION

Let's lighten the mood, shall we?













Inspired by this be-pearled red carpet look worn by Lady Gaga and designed by the Asian punk boy himself, Mr. Terence Koh, I decided to create a little homage-- THE FUTURE'S SO WHITE WE GOTTA WEAR SHADES:

Basically, I took a pair of light refractive lenses and Koh'd them the fuck up. Deceptively simple, however, as there was nothing basic about the tedious process of adhering different sizes of pearls and later masking the frankensteined results with white Liquitex.

Well worth the few hours of work-- a duration of time perhaps lengthened by the fact that I was appropriately half watching the icy splendor of the Olympic Men's Short Performance Figure Skating coverage. Of course I retired my paintbrush and suspended all work entirely for the fabulous Johnny Weir who so rightfully deserved my full attention.

And the best part is of course the view..

Want a pair? NAME YOUR PRICE, STRANGER.

On Death..

"In Sikhism death is considered a natural process. An event that has absolute certainty and only happens as a direct result of God's Will or Hukam. To a Sikh, birth and death are closely associated, because they are both part of the cycle of human life of "coming and going" ( ਆਵਣੁ ਜਾਣਾ , Aana Jaana) which is seen as transient stage towards Liberation ( ਮੋਖੁ ਦੁਆਰੁ , Mokh Du-aar), complete unity with God.

Sikhs thus believe in reincarnation."

NEGATIVE SPACE

 











So many crucial events take place behind people's backs, when they aren't in a position to watch: birth and death, for instance.

Avantissimo

Just recalled this beautiful Audi concept wagon from 2001, truly a masterpiece in masculine German restraint and a thoughtful execution of the brand's design philosophies. Wild to think this debuted nearly ten years ago, feels like just yesterday-- a thought not harmed by the timeless stretches of sheetmetal.

That said, the 'VAG' may have a way with style however nomenclature was obviously never their strong suit. Points for camp, though.

OH CAPTAIN

The word "selfish" gets thrown around a lot surrounding suicide, but isn't it fitting to not care what anyone thinks of you in death just as you did in life? Is that the ultimate fuck you?
