How amazing is this advert. Definitely inspiring me to create some art out of the ordinary and everyday.

My fella…
… writes better than me. He should be a writer. But yet he’s a mathematician.
Excerpt below:
Yo Columbia – I hope that you like that I put down Rei Kawabuko
Today I had my writing test for my Journalism MS application to Columbia for Fall 2010 entry. I probably have failed miserably, because it’s one of those tests that have no right or wrong answer. But I fail hardcore at logical shit. So even though it’s open ended – I just jumped way out of the acceptable box and just pwned my chances probs.
I applied for the Digital Media concentration, because that’s the future baby. And also I’ve been working with Digital Media for a while and I like it. Although I do have a soft spot in my heart for print, always. There’s just something about the sheen of a fresh new magazine, or the smell of a newspaper that leaves your hands all inky.
One of the questions that they asked was to name who the ten most influential people of the 20th century. How ambigious. 10 most important to me, or who they want us to put down. Such a conundrum. For some reason I put down Disraeli, which just proves how much attention I paid in History.
One of the people I did list was Rei Kawabuko, Comme Des Garcons designer and founder. She is definitely one of the most influential people in fashion, and has definitely shaped the way fashion has changed over the past two decades. I was thinking to put down Coco Chanel as well, which I should have, but I tried to give a wide variety of different people. Or perhaps I should have put down Coco Chanel. It’s more expected.
Crapulous.
Oh WWD, naming a piece on Chris Brown with a bloodied Jean Paul Gaultier "Bruise Control" was a feat of literary engineering. Still not right though.

Really, I’m disgusted. Any publicity isn’t good publicity, and glamourising domestic violence is disgusting and shameful.
Glasses, Alexander Wang AND Opening Ceremony. 2010, what are you doing to me?
Yes ridiculously overpriced, but all I want to do is poke the lenses out and put my prescription ones in. The top wayfarer style-y ones are my favourite. Pointy fashion just worries me. It hurts.
"Important blogger? Isn't that an oxymoron?"
Anyone can be a writer these days. I’m not gonna go on how blogs, Twitter and everything else has ‘revolutionised’ or ‘dumbed down’ the writing sphere. Anyone can call themselves a writer – it is true. How do you judge the worth of a writer? Whether you’ve had something published? I’ve had pieces published. But what of it, if no-one reads it?
My biggest coup to date is being published in Time Out, 3 weeks in a row. But they were small pieces, in a corner, I doubt anyone would have read them. But I’m still proud of it – because I’m on the up, I hope.
Blogging is, however, a great way to put yourself out there to the whole global community. However I think it should be your starting off point, diving board you are WordPress. Look at Ta’Vi, Scott Schuman (although his is a photo blog) and Susie Bubble, they have avid followers from around the world. However do people follow them because they genuinely are interested in what they post – or because everyone else does it? Same with books, magazines, popular music, fashions…
Anyway the post title is a line from this weeks’ “Bones” – David Boreanaz is sexier in it than he was in Angel, no lie. Didn’t think it was possible eh? At least as an FBI agent he can age, and damn does he age WELL.

American cousins, you must be truly green with envy.
The pun wasn’t that hard to create, but I think it’s not too shabby considering I just thought of it.
Considering.
I saw this mentioned in the Sunday Times Style a couple weeks ago, and I wanted it so bad. You don’t know how long I’ve been looking for a deep green polish. I have one from Barry M, and it’s a fail. Sorry Barry, I love Barry M nail colours usually, being cheap, and having sexy colours but alas it was not to be.
