Günther is just about the funniest thing to ever come from Scandanavia.
Günther's web page states that his goal is to show the world a more sexual life through his music. gunthernet.com Somewhat jokingly, he lists the most important things in his life as "champagne, glamour, sex, and respect". [1] The sincerity of Günther's movement and music has been questioned and, with little other media coverage, it is difficult to know the truth. Most of his music videos show him… Continue

RoRo introduced me to Duffy a little while ago right here at the Met.
I'm not only a fan of hers bc I like the soulfulness in her voice, after reading various articles and watching videos about her, I appreciate Duffy, who's open and honest about, more than anything, herself - her experiences and her journey.
Spin magazine has her as their August cover - it's a… Continue
Sam and I saw his exhibit last October at the SF Moma - Eliasson's work is amazing bc he uses natural elements like light and water to create art that elicits an emotional response in people. Amazon…
Stacy Lee Webber on the Change exhibit:
Coins are more than currency, They are metal objects that hold historical tales as they are passed through the hands of millions of people on a daily basis. In my artwork I have highlighted the personal history of coins by using them as a material to make art objects. I have chosen to construct objects out of pennies, quarters,… Continue

Hilary is sportin one of the coolest bags I've seen in a while. Nice to see Prada steppin it up and playing with the big boys in appealing to a younger generation. (Though Murakami + Louis Vuitton got there first and was a pretty genius combo.)
Novelist Amy Tan digs deep into the creative process, journeying through her childhood and family history and into the worlds of physics and chance, looking for hints of where her own creativity comes from. It's a wild ride with a surprise… Continue

So you know I really believe in a place when I take my dad and his wife to it.
Grace (sis) had been dying to go to this place so when my dad asked us to dinner last night what did Sam and I shout out in unison but "Gyu-Kaku"! (Not really but that would have been cool....or really… Continue
Pilobolus takes creative dancing to another level. Here is a clip from Conan where they use shadows to trick your mind..
Pilobolus began as an experiment among three guys and one puzzled professor in a Dartmouth dance class back in 1970. It was survival of the giddiest, as the three non-dancers goofed around with the material they'd been given -- themselves -- and got entangled in science-inspired poses (think: "soft-belly protoplasmic thing") and movements.… Continue
Tara and I went out last night to dinner and tried out this Italian restaurant in West Hollywood called Terroni. Now, I am not a tough food critique - in fact, I'm pretty open to it all. I don't like my food too sheesh or my portions too small (that I am… Continue

After a very enjoyable afternoon watching Brian's group, happyfunsmile, at the Buddhist temple, we mosied our way to Chinatown to have some traditional Filipino food. Filipino food in Chinatown? Sure, why not!?
Apparently our foodie friend Vic told Arlene about this…
Sam and I were lucky to catch the last show of happyfunsmile's U.S. tour and boy are we glad we did. Brian, one of the main singers in this dancing and singing troupe was spectacular to watch. He is my husband's brother's girlfriend's sister's husband. They invited to see his show sometime this weekend and though we didn't catch it at the Obon festival, we saw it this… Continue
I've been really excited about this Korean restaurant opening up on the Westside since it is now up against Wharo in Marina del Rey. It's always good to see a little competition, keeps everyone on their toes. Also, I'm always interested in seeing how ethnic restaurants update their look to appeal to a wider audience.
Tansy was born and raised in Venice, California and received her degree in Fine Art from UCLA. According to her website - "Tansy explores the social constructs we use to define beauty and self." I really like the bright colors and sleek lines she uses.…
So after a morning run with Theresa (where she literally ran laps around me), we decided to try out Hogan's Heroes for some sandwiches. Now, let me just say that I love Yelp. That site has helped not only… Continue
