THAT'S A HORSE OF A DIFFERENT COLOR...


...OWN A COLOUR AND HELP SAVE A CHILD'S LIFE. DELUX HAS LAUNCHED A WEBSITE INITIATIVE WITH UNICEF. THE CHARITY IS SIMPLE...THE AVERAGE COMPUTER, SMARTPHONE, AND TABLET CAN DISPLAY 16.7 MILLION COLORS. THEY ARE SELLING EACH AVAILABLE COLOR STARTING AT £1 ($1.56 U.S.). YOU GET TO PICK YOUR OWN COLOR AND NAME IT WHILE THE PROCEEDS GO TOWARDS HELPING TRANSFORM CHILDREN'S LIVES. PRETTY AWESOME!

NO BRUSHES INVOLVED - AMY SHACKLETON







FIRST: WATCH THE VIDEO!! TWENTY-FIVE YEAR OLD, TORONTO BASED ARTIST, AMY SHACKLETON PAINTS THESE VIBRANT DRIPPY PAINTINGS WITHOUT THE USE OF A BRUSH OR FINGERS, INSTEAD YOUR FRIENDLY NEIGHBOR, GRAVITY BRINGS IT ALL TOGETHER. SHE WILL ALSO OCCASIONALLY USE STRING TO CONTROL THE FLOW OF THE PAINT TO CREATE SOME HARD LINES. I LOVE HOW HER WORK JUST BURSTS WITH VITALITY AND CREATIVITY. BEAUTIFUL!!

DRIVE






MY APOLOGIES TO THE BLOGOSPHERE FOR MY HIATUS. I KNOW MY ABSENCE LEFT A DEEP VOID IN YOUR HEARTS. WAIT FOR IT.........YOU FEEL THAT?....THAT'S YOUR HEART BEING REFUELED BY MY EXCESSIVE USE OF CAPS LOCK, EXCLAMATION POINTS AND AN EXORBITANCE OF THE WORD "AMAZING". SO OVER THE WEEKEND I WENT OUT AND WATCHED THE FILM, "DRIVE". I HAVE TO SAY...I WAS THOROUGHLY ENTERTAINED AND CAPTIVATED!!! THE STYLE AND DIRECTION WAS JUST FLAT OUT COOL. IT WAS FILM NOIR POETICAL VIOLENCE. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO DISCUSS THIS FILM WITH EVERYBODY, BUT NO ONE HAS SEEN IT (BY EVERYBODY I MEAN MY CAT, DONKEY. SHE HAS NOT SEEN IT...SHE IS LAME). RYAN GOSLING AS THE NO-NAMED DRIVER IS A LACONIC, SUBTLY CHARMING CHARACTER, AND YET WIELDS BRUTALITY EFFORTLESSLY. IT'S A JOHN HUGHES ROMANCE WHERE SOMEONE GETS THEIR HEAD CRUSHED IN BY REPEATED KICKS. ADD IN AN AWESOME SOUNDTRACK ALONG WITH A PINK FONT AND YOU GET ONE AMAZING FILM!

CIVIL WAR UNIFORMS


SO I RECENTLY TOOK A TRIP TO VIRGINIA TO HANG WITH THE FAM FOR A WEEK. ASIDE FROM COLONIAL HISTORY, THE VA IS STEEPED IN CIVIL WAR RELICS...I KNOW..WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT, RIGHT. ALTHOUGH VIRGINIA AND THE REST OF THE CONFEDERACY DECLARED SECESSION FROM THE U.S. AND ULTIMATELY WENT TO WAR BASED UPON A PRINCIPAL THAT I CAN'T AGREE WITH..ON A TOTALLY SHALLOW LEVEL I CAN SAY THEY WERE DRESSED QUITE WELL. YES, I HAVE TAKEN ONE OF THE BIGGEST EVENTS IN U.S. HISTORY AND DUMBED IT DOWN INTO MINDLESS FASHION. NICE. YOU HAVE TO ADMIT, THE EMBROIDERY ON GENERAL LEE'S JACKET SLEEVE IS PRETTY DOPE! I'M JUST SAYING.

BLACK SWAN


I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH ABOUT THIS FILM OTHER THAN IT'S FLAT OUT AMAZING! IT WAS DARK, BEAUTIFUL, AND JUST PLAIN MADDENING! NATALIE PORTMAN'S PERFORMANCE WAS CAPTIVATING...HER VULNERABILITY WAS UNSETTLING. AND THE DANCE SEQUENCES WERE SO GORGEOUS. 2 ENTHUSIASTIC THUMPS-UP!!!
