greta gerwig....(information taken from papermag.com)
i saw "hannah takes the stairs" first and fell in love with this girl, i love her voice, her bedroom blue eyes and her talented ways. i suggest you chek her out.
Greta Gerwig could well be the muse of mumblecore. Immediately endearing and unaffected, the 26-year-old Gerwig has gone from playwright to player in the burgeoning mumblecore movement -- the low-budget, talkie-based, Richard-Linklater-meets-American-Apparel-meets-some-dude's-kitchen genre taking hold by way of filmmakers Mark Duplass (The Puffy Chair), Andrew Bujalski (Mutual Appreciation) and Ry Russo-Young (Orphans), among others. After agreeing to take cellphone pictures of herself for mumblecorian Joe Swanberg's film LOL, Gerwig left Brooklyn for Chicago to make Swanberg's next film, the beautiful, rambly Hannah Takes the Stairs. The film, which follows a college grad and aspiring playwright named Hannah (Gerwig), feels less like a movie and more like a collection of real-life scenes caught on tape by a hand-held digital camera. Of the mumblecore-ic tendency to elevate a random conversation into art: "People are suddenly like, 'Wow, there's a lot happening in my kitchen -- I don't need to go so outside of myself to find something that's quietly epic,'" says Gerwig. As all eyes in the indie film world look upon these young auteurs, Gerwig is fast emerging as the ingenue of the bunch with a laundry list of upcoming films. "I've always liked art that has come out of some sense of a movement. I always relish in these ideas of, you know, Gertrude Stein buying Picassos and introducing these people to other people. I like the idea of being part of a movement -- even if it's a badly named movement."

rumors

this summer has been a fleetwood mac, well every summer should be a fleetwood mac summer. i have always loved their uniqueness, they had a thing all their own. my friend monika told me once that i resembled the keyboardist christine mcvie, and even though these pictures really dont do her justice, i considered that a complete and utter compliment. PLUS check out their impeccable fashion sense!

GALLO

this summer ive...... been swimming once, shopping way too many times, been hurt by a few too many people, met some wonderful souls, drank way too much wine, got a sunburn, made love, met an adorable baby, listened to way too much zeppelin, discovered some dior, turned my hair blonde and missed some old friends.....
i still need to go skinny dipping and meet vincent gallo, i think the latter may be impossible.
hope you are all having a wonderful verano.
