Glam. Pink. Heart. Fornarina

Lindsay Lohan is the new face of Fornarina, which is apparently a clothing company? Manufacturer of magic triangles? Who even knows!

Check out my cool new boots!

Look how red they are!
I bought them on Ebay for, like, $50 with shipping and everything. They’re vintage and are from Nordstrom or something and are hardly worn and I love them.

24 Portraits by Lucy Knisley

Questionable Content is like some people you met back in 2004 when you were working retail over your summer break from your liberal arts university who were really cool and you all formed a big group and would hang out at Steve’s apartment and drink vodka and [...]

First, I dislike “My Life Would Suck Without U” because the techno [...]

Caturday, March 14

Hey! First Caturday in a few weeks. I’ve decided to take Caturday to a “whenever I feel like it on Saturdays” schedule, because I’m really busy with school and haven’t been taking a lot of photographs.

Friends in High Places (Nuit Blanche 2009)

It’s official: the curators for Nuit Blanche 2009 have been announced. My graduate program director, Jennifer Fisher and her art/life partner Jim Drobnick are curating Zone B (The Financial District).

Encounters in the Socialverse

On Friday, March 6, York University’s Art History department hosted Encounters in the Socialverse: Community and Collaborative Art Practices, a symposium I’ve been helping to put together [duties included: executive committee, communications lead, media liaison, and (badass) emcee].
And, hot damn, what a success! The presenters did an outstanding job, and the feedback we received has [...]
