Trip Art.

This is an amazing Art Installation by brothers Nils and Sven Völker who built a giant art work of pulsing silver cushions at MADE in Berlin. Must Watch!






Captured - a Homage to Light and Air from Nils Völker on Vimeo.

"The installation by familial tag team Nils (the artist) and Sven (the graphic designer) Völker featured 304 framed “graphic pages” that rose up the walls of a vaulting art space around 252 silver plastic cushions. Nils programmed the cushions to breathe in and out like giant lungs while a light show (controlled by the same computer system) flashed overhead."

After the first 2 minutes of zoning out and being completely taken over by this I noticed my breathing was becoming precise to the video. It's pretty fuckin' crazy, Who needs drugs when you have art like this! Wow, Amazing.

Peace & Art,

Bikram Yogi

Last night I finally went for it and took the plunge. Meggie and I have been sitting on these groupons of one month unlimited classes at Bikram. It was the night before and I packed my bags like it was my first day of school. I was so excited! I was ready for anything and heard that Bikram was def pretty insane and you sweat until you cant sweat no more. I didn't think that I would be that sweaty just bc I really don't sweat. I mean, ill have a lil bead of sweat here or there at the beach but nothing where it looks like i jumped in a pool. Until last night. I could not believe the amount of water that was seeping out of my pores. (sorry to get all graphic but i did not think this was even a possibility!) It was so disgusting half way through the class I took off my shirt and just sat there bc first I felt like I was going to pass out and 2nd bc I just couldn't stand looking at myself in a soaked tee. (no I was not being a nudist, everyone is pretty much in underwear or bikini's and men in speedo's.. not my fav part.) However, being so disgustingly sweaty made me feel 150% better. I felt as if the toxins that have been building up in my body had vanished. and I want to do it over and over again. I did not go to the extremes with my first class. I wanted to pace myself so I didn't actually pass out. I did not leave the room once, which I felt very proud of :) hopefully with this one month of unlimited classes I will be able to get my flexibility on and almost be as flexible as Meggie.. even the teacher gave her praise :) Till next time, I'm off to my second class!

Sally Hanson & Chip Shop.

The other night I went out to dinner at the Chip Shop (they have AMAZING baked veggie mac and cheese and get this... deep fried Snickers, Twinkies, for Pete's sake whatever the hell you want. I HIGHLY recommend it.) with my lover Mika. As we were gossiping and doing the normal girl thang I spotted her nails. They looked like an amazing artist spent 10 hours on each nail to create this lacey masterpiece. Well, something of that sort. Anyway, they were so cool of course I had to get the full 411. They are called Sally Hansons NEW Salon Effects nailpolish strips. You can go with a solid color or spice it up with leopard print, zebra print, lace, fishnet, there are so many different styles to choose from. At first I was all confused on how to actually apply the strip or how it even worked. When Mika was trying to explain it just sounded bizarre to me. Right after we finish stuffing our faces at the delicious Chip Shop we headed on down to CVS. We searched the make up aisle and nothing, then baby Mika (I like to call her that because she is so tiny) found them on the tallest rack there is (ironic). It was hard to see the colors and prints to choose from because they were so high up but it's all good because I had found what I had been dreaming of (for the past 20 minutes). Me being the saucy diva I am went with the zebra print. I got home and immediately opened the box and gave it ago. The kit includes 16 strips in varying sizes, a cuticle stick and mini file/buffer. You actually file the access of the strip off of your nail. One must purchase this in order to understand the awesomeness of this new product. I have had them one for almost 4 days now, I did the dishes, went in the hot tub, and was in the shower everyday. No chipping, no lifting, just a perfect manicure. I read that it last for up to 2 weeks. I will report back and let you know the status then. Until then, go out and get them! You can find them at any CVS, Rite-Aid, Walgreens, Duane Reade and Target.

Speeding Bullets

Soulkhan feat. Akie -"Speeding Bullets" Official Video was just recently released. This is hilarious. What a great concept, admirable song, and amazing talent. I am pretty much in love with the both of them.
