Wonder if strategically wore this dress without a bra because she knew her nipple would slip out, and she would cause more ‘blog headlines’ due to hornie bros ‘clicking thru’ to inspect the nip. Feel like this is a some what underwhelming nipslip, like you wish you could see a little bit more. But maybe that’s what makes nip slips so great. ‘The element of the unknown.’

Does n e 1 know if members of the paparazzi go to Coachella just to take pix of celebrities looking alt? Not sure how Los Angeles works. Feel like I would have ‘creamed my pants’ if I were a 16 year old bro at coachella, and saw an international super model with her nip exposed.

Seems like she is looking at the camera with a face that says ‘Why r u invading my space?’ but doesn’t realize that she has a nip slip going on.

Do u think is pretty?
Do u like her nip?
Should famous people be allowed to ‘chill’ at music festivals?
Should I start drinking Sprite so I can be a super model?
Will ‘crossover’ after she dates John Mayer?

Flowchart Meme: How 2 Select the Right Font for Your Project / Life / Brand

Just saw this flow chart meme that helps designers select a font based on a set of criteria. I think this meme might be a ‘hit’ in the design world, but it also might be ‘completely wrong’, constructed by some1 who ‘doesn’t know a damn thing about design/.’

What’s ur favourite font?
Do all roads lead to Helvetica?

SO YOU NEED A TYPEFACE is a project by Julian Hansen. It’s an alternative way on how to choose fonts (or just be inspired) for a specific project, not just by browsing through the pages of FontBook. The list is (very loosely) based on the Top 50 of the Top100 Best Schrieften by Font Shop.

What is the most authentic font?
Is Univers more authentic than Helvetica?
Is Arial the ‘Microsoft’ of fonts?
Do u h8 Times New Roman?
Is Futura the ‘next big alt font’?
Should I get a Comic Sans tattoo on my face?
What criteria do u use to select a font?
Do fonts ‘make or break’ brands / projects / businesses?
Do u feel ’sad’ when people don’t value the visual representation of their brand [via font selection]?
Is this flow chart ‘useful’ or is it ‘just another worthless internet meme’?

Official Video for “Drunk Girls” features James Murphy getting dolled up + tossed around ‘like a bitch’

Posted: 19 Apr 2010 10:50 AM PDT


Feel scared of the new LCD Soundsystem video. I think it is about not respecting women, how they are just a bunch of ‘drunk ass sluts’ that you can toss around. Just dirty, filthy whores you put on makeup and try to get groped by men. I am not sure what the abusive puppies / panda bears are supposed to represent. Possibly a collective of animals that are bullying every1 in the indiesphere around. James Murphy sees himself as a ‘drunk skank’ who is ‘a slave to the modern indiesphere.’

Feel scared that Animal Collectives are just a bunch of bullys who are raping every superficial indie fan in the world. Wonder if this song will ‘go mainstream’ then inspire a lot of puff pieces about how James Murphy is a sexist, and the song “” set back the indie feminist movement 20 years.

Do u have a rape fantasy?
Is this music video the best music video of 2k10?
Do u wish u had a cutting edge space in which to film conceptual videos?
Is this video ‘ready to show on MTV’?
Is there a ‘better song’ on their album that should have been their first single?
Is LCD Soundsystem a leader of ‘the d8 rape movement’?
Have u ever physically abused some1 in a conceptual way?

Uffie will attempt to ‘crossover’ by having Pharrell Williams on one of her tracks

Posted: 19 Apr 2010 08:23 AM PDT

Uffie is preparing her upcoming album, and she has a song with Pharrell Williams / The Neptunes in order to try to ‘crossover.’ I think they are mainstream producers, but I don’t think they have had a hit in a while. Not sure if this song is supposed to be ‘the single’ or something. Not sure if this song is even good, or if her album is ‘gonna tank.’

Stream:

French rapper/club girl Uffie (born Floridian Anna-Catherine Hartley) hooked up with Pharrell for this new single off of her upcoming debut, Sex, Dreams, and Denim Jeans. Mirwais, who helped out on much of the album, produced this track, and it sounds much more like something out of fellow Frenchies Justice’s playbook than most of the stuff Pharrell has been up to lately. Which is probably for the best. His verse is kind of lame and unimaginative, and is mired in a layer of Auto-Tune that sounds a little dated at this point.

Wonder if Busy P (Pedro Winter) and Pharrell had a lot to clean up after Uffie left the studio. Wonder if Pharrell is a ‘good match’ for the Ed Banger sound, or if they should have focused on ripping off / Lady Gaga.

Do u think this new Uffie song is good, or will she have to ’step it up’ now that the Crystal Castles album has leaked?
Will Uffie bring back blog house / French Electro?
Is Ed Banger ‘dead’ or are they waiting 4 a new Justice album?
Will always be the best female auto tune rapper of all time?
Is this song ADD SUV ‘good’?
Does “ADD SUV” mean that u want to buy a new sport utility vehicle?

Pix of some artists getting naked at MoMA doing some sort of ‘performance art’

The seems like a progressive place where some of the best art in the world exists /occurs / is stored. However, it also seems like the type of place where you probably see a bunch of stupid art, like people who just want attention, who will show their nude bodies, or possibly be racist + political in an over-the top kid of way. Feel relieved that these two people just decided 2 get naked.

Maria Stamenkovic and Matthew Rogers perform naked in the ’s eyebrow-raising new exhibit, Marina Abramovic’s “The Artist is Present.”


Wonder if I can be a performance artist when I grow up. Maybe I will find a woman who is ‘dumb enough’ to do this project with me. Might ‘get naked’ and get hard core erections.

Visitors to the ’s eyebrow-raising new exhibit have been getting a little too grabby with the show’s naked performers — earning some the boot.

Female performers in Marina Abramovic’s “The Artist is Present” have complained about groping, while other models say they have been pushed, prodded and poked.

Without giving specifics, MoMA yesterday acknowledged it had had trouble with visitors stroking the live art.

“We are well aware of the challenges posed by having nude performers in the galleries for this exhibition,” the museum said.

“Any visitor who improperly touches or disturbs any of the performers is escorted from the museum by MoMA security.”

An unspecified number of patrons have been ejected for groping performers since the exhibit opened on March 14, but none has been arrested, and there have been no calls made to 911.

The exhibit features 38 performers in rotating shifts of eight facing each other at a doorway or lying under a skeleton or posing in other pieces, mostly in the nude.

One performer, Amelia Uzategui Bonilla, told The Post last week, “We have a way to let security know if we’re having an emergency, but we’re all prepared for discomfort. You just have to suck it up!”

She said the oddest thing she experienced since the retrospective of Abramovic’s work began was seeing a man drop a scallion beside her as she lay under the skeleton.

“He said he wanted to add a little bit of life” to the work, Bonilla said.

Guards asked him to leave.

“It can be a little sketchy,” said Matthew Rogers, 31, who teaches Pilates when he’s not on display on the sixth floor. “Sometimes, there’s that feeling like, ‘Oh, this is a little gross,’ and then it’s gone.”

Do u think u could be a performance artist, or are those people too ‘hardcore’ / ‘weird’ 4 u?
If u went to this exhibit, would it inspire u / open ur mind, or would u just giggle and feel hornie? Would you just look at cock, pubes, and breasts, or would u find the human form 2 be beautiful?
Do u wish u could get naked for the sake of ‘art’ or would u rather be a porn star and get paid 2 have sex on camera?

All the “The Artist is Present” performers went through a mini-boot camp to prepare for the exhibit. For five days, they led a monk-like existence — fasting, not speaking and not reading — while doing exercises designed to help them develop self-control, including bathing in an icy pond, walking in slow motion and counting grains of rice.

Matthew Rogers (pictured), 31, who teaches Pilates when he’s not on display, says, “It can be a little sketchy. Sometimes, there’s that feeling like, ‘Oh, this is a little gross,’ and then it’s gone.”

Feel like I would have told one of the bros to ‘take my jacket.’ Wish I could be crazy conservative.

Sorta just want to see some art that inspires me, not just a bunch of memes on the internet.

Did this work of modern art inspire u / open ur mind?
Have u been 2 MoMa?
Is this work of art better than Animal Collective at the Guggenheim?
Should more indie bands get nude 2 create more memes?
Does this art ‘make sense’ or is it just art that is meant 2 ‘get headlines’?

Alt Celeb Bros: Diplo & Vampy Weeks ‘become bros’ at Coachella

Just saw this picture of Vampire Weekend and Diplo at Coachella. Seems like they really ‘became bros.’ Probably talked about their influences, Afro-beat stuff, and other great artists to sample. Maybe compared notes on ‘how to get a coachella crowd fired up.’ Feel like this picture gives me the right to ‘erroneously report’ that there will be a Major Lazer Remix of “Horchata” by Vampire Weekend.

Wonder if alternative celebrities are ‘authentic bros’ or if they are just gonna use one another for remixes.
Wonder if Diplo really cares about ‘the indie movement’ or if he is just trying to tweet out memes for music blogs 2 jump on.

Does n e 1 know Diplo’s real name?
What do u think they talked abt?
Is Ezra Koenig the hottest bro in indie music?
Have yall ever chilled with Ezra Koenig and Rostam Batmanglij?
Does Coachella seem like a place where authentic artists can unite?
Are music festivals the best place 2 meet new artists who will remix ur tracks?
