The Gun Show, a group show of contemporary art at Space B gallery, focuses on art in the context of globalized democracy and the general Americanismus inspired by greed, the war on terrorism, and the second amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Within this environment of safety, via mutually assured destruction, contemporary art is born with a similar paradox to that of its considered subject—that of the artistic appropriation of iconoclasm. This show addresses questions like “How is it possible to make art that is avant-garde while living in a pluralistic society without restrictive qualifications?” Featuring:

No pants, thank you
My image of what California girls were with their big blonde hair, gleaming smiles and volleyball playing bodies clad in low-rise bikinis made from fabrics like crocheted yarn and faux fur with lots of padding everywhere, has been replaced with American Apparel-esque, fashion-less Lycra mini everything with cheapy slouchy boots and knock off stiletto strappy sandals without and an ounce of glamour. Shame on LA girls.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for a girl without her pants. There is just a proper way to pull off looking like a tramp without looking like a tramp. Unfortunately the masters at this are too far and few between so we end up with a bunch of photocopies of photocopies of collages of pieces that someone saw on someone that they thought looked good, but then upon their attempt to translate it at home it just came out all wrong. It’s like how a real nurse is kind of sexy. But sexy nurse on Halloween just hurts.
Nooo!
Okay… yes. We’re going to Teddy’s. What is wrong with us?
I will tell you.
Everbody sing, everybody dance
Lose yourself in wild romance
We’re going to party
Karamu, fiesta, forever
Come on and sing along
ALL NIGHT LONG! all night..

Art Show – TONIGHT!
Melissa Manning is an incredible photographer. I’m annoyed that I cannot go to her show tonight, but you should!
xo
word!
What’s better than thinking there isn’t anything to eat at 11p on a sad Wednesday and then finding waffles and nutella? Okay, maybe if my best friend didn’t fly back today and he was here eating this delicious creation with me. Nobody’s perfect!
Going out in LA is sooo boring.
When did going out get so weird? I went to Teddy’s on Friday and danced my face off with Alissa… there really wasn’t much else to do. Saturday my boyfriend came in from NY and we went to Bardot and Hwood and were bored to death… Not that we were boring (we have fun talking about luggage and peanut butter), but the most non-fun people ever were out… not doing anything. again. We either had more fun at the Bar on Monday – which by the way it is incredible that that place is what stands out during my stint of “partying” (only because after 4 years you would think it would be dull) or at Yamashiro last night drinking champagne alone. What gives LA? Someone have a pool party already.
Jason Rosencrantz is smart
and I like him a lot. He’s the best dancer I have ever met. And a good writer with some things to say
