alice doesnt live here anymore

does anyone read this anymore?? leave a comment for me if you do.
everyone has a blog now, EVRYONE, its hard to keep up , i know.
well, last night, i couldnt get to sleep, my partner was snoring beside me, so i decided to put in a movie that i just got from netflix. directed by Mr. Martin Scorsese, this movie is so gritty, the camera work is so organic, you can see the camera wavering in every scene. now, obviously this movie is a true fashion inspiration, or i wouldnt "blog" about it. Starring the incomparable Ellen Burstyn, giving an Oscar-winning performance (one of the finest of the 1970s), this comedy-drama is tough, but never off-putting. After her husband dies, 35-year-old Alice Hyatt from New Mexico and her smart-mouthed 11-year-old son Tommy take to the road, chasing her girlhood dream of finding songbird success in Monterey, CA. They get stuck in Phoenix, where she meets up with a frightening Harvey Keitel. Later, waitressing at Mel & Ruby's Cafe in Tucson, she meets a gentle farmer who's had his share of heartbreak. Ellen Burnstyn's hair and outfits are so well put even though many of them involve the 70s favorite fabric, polyester. Lelia Goldoni plays Ellen's best friend in the movie and she is the cutest girl ever, i am planning on adding "Shadows" to my netflix queue, which is a John Cassavetes film from 1959 and stars Lelia Goldoni, has anyone seen this film????

you are my sister...

a lil Egon first....







so, its been awhile and i havent been good with this thing, but i was laying around after taking an exam tonight and decided that i had some free time...does anyone read this things anymore?? seems like we all have blogs now,,, and we are all wondering the same thing about them...who reads this anyway. but, actually for me, mostly, this is an escape, a preoccupation from the loads of work and emotional banter that involves a majority of my time for the past three years.
well, awhile back, the bf and i went to see antony and the johnsons at berkeley school of music in boston. this was about a month ago, but its been so long since ive been thinking straight and since ive downloaded the photos off my camera. ugh. seeing antony was wonderful, as always (ive seen him one other time in montreal)..i knew that this was a sit down show, and i knew that we werent too close, but not too far away either, i also knew that antony and the johnsons has had a serious reputation for causing my emotions to ooze with the most serious of oozes, needless to say, it did not fail to do so. i was a complete mess, complete. luckily i had tissues. i do have to say, through all of my tears, there were many times of complete laughter, antony is such a fabulous performer, just so talented. last time i saw him he proceeded to cover a whitney houston song, this time he did not disappoint by singing beyonce's "crazy in love" he did this so immaculately that beyonce herself would have stepped aside and let him perform her song SOLO.
pictures....(just of what i wore) couldnt take pics of antony.




HERE'S ANTONY DOIN' MISS BEYONCE:

Shepard Fairey


first, i still cant believe this is his real name....
my mama and i met in boston for the weekend to have "girltime" and amidst all of the wonderful food we ate, including a decadent swored fish- we took the train over to the ICA museum in Boston to check out the Shepard Fairy exhibit. The museum was nice inside, but as my mom put it, "it didnt have the best flow." the set up isnt as nice as other museums i have gone to, it isnt any fun to walk through a part of an exhibit and end up at a dead end only to have to turn around. regardless of this, people were flockin' like it was their job to check out Shepard Fairy's stuff. Now, i have never been a huge fan, ive always really liked his andre the giant stencils, and i like the fact that he got his start in new england with graffiti art. I was also pleasantly surprised at the amount of antiwar and pure political symbolism that he uses. i didnt really know what to expect,,,but one of the pieces surely blew me away. It was a large piece, covering an entire wall of the museum that displayed a Muslim woman's face with her mouth covered, an anti war logo, beautiful tapestry prints in the background and bombs witb flowers exploding out of them (i couldnt find a photo of it). now, if anyone knows me, the staunch anti war activist that i am....this one was right up my skinny alley. heres a video to look at, i dont feel like typing anymore :(
