Drills

This past Sunday, I went to Moma PS1 to check out an event featuring Future Brown (a new music crew consisting of Fatima al Qadiri, J-Cush of Lit City Trax, and Asma Maroof and Daniel Pineda of Nguzunguzu). DIS Magazine sponsored the performance aspect, which basically involved two basketball court stages with ballers doing choreographed basketball drills to the music. "Performance art" can lean towards the cheesy end of the scale more often than not, but this was one of the dopest things I've seen in awhile.

Topless

New York, this one's for you. This Thursday night, there's a photo show called “TOPLESS” opening at Human NYC, a gallery and storefront in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. It will feature shots of four women (yes, topless) as seen through the lens of Kava Gorna. She's done work with some dope magazines and fashion labels, and her personal work has an awesome raw beauty to it so looking forward to checking this out. You should too, especially if you dig boobs.

Living in NYC gives you access to some of the best magazine shops anywhere. When I'm pounding the pavement on my way to or from somewhere, I love dashing into a newsstand to flip through a couple of my favorite mags. I would have totally missed this great story in the F/W 2013 issue of Pop Magazine if it wasn't for my addiction to new magazine smell. It's so exciting to see the new Stella and Celine collections in print too, especially set in a street scene.

The latest edition to my infinitely expanding ring collection is this orbital beauty from German jewelry designer Saskia Diez. The simplicity, symmetry, and likeness to a piercing sold me the second I layed eyes on it. I'm stoked to have found it at Opening Ceremony's Ace Hotel outpost in NY- hoping they continue to carry her pieces!

Soft Rock

I always had a thing for cool, crisp white marble. Nevermind the fact that Balenciaga has us wanting to wear it now, you can also sleep on it too thanks to Safe House USA. Apparently the duvet "resists pet hair" - something I can't fathom with my boston terrior nugget, but willing to take the risk regardless for bedding this damn beautiful.
