jose parla rules! and so does his incredible new catalogue “reading through seeing” which arrived on my doorstep today. let me tell you, there is nothing quite as cool as receiving a special dedication from any creative individual concerning a particular career accomplishment. it reminds me how important it is to appreciate life and the milestones that continue to present themselves on a day-to-day basis. that’s kind of how i feel about jose’s work, its super-poignant and these flashes of color and texture make me want to learn about art and history and technique and, in short, jose is like some modern-day messiah of sorts, a real artist with a real outlook on life. respect, bravo and merci to jose!!

men.style.com just released their annual ‘women of fashion 2009’ listing and i have no hesitation whatsoever in stating that its the biggest load of wank you are bound to read this year. among the dull-as-dishwater, clone-looking line-up there are two black women in the list – we’re in america, wtf? clearly the list of panelists are either on crack, delusional or completely out of touch with reality (the general consensus among the female-dominated fashion industry is that it most definitely wreaks of the third suggestion). wake up boys, you’re wasting valuable online time! file under: lame.
