SHOW QUEENS S/S '09

GONNA BE THERE!

WALTON FORD

The most exquiste artist I have seen in modern times...Walton Ford's work is so beautiful and breathtaking...Over the past decade, Ford's reputation has been growing as one of the premier naturalist painters of our time - indeed, of any time...LOVE his watercolors. HUGE FAN.

BEAT GOES ON

After a six-year hiatus from releasing compilations, Danny Tenaglia returns with the 2xCD compilation, ‘Futurism’.It’s techy, it’s tribal, it’s twisted, yet somehow timeless: It’s unmistakably Danny and constantly playing on my ipod... 

GET IT>>perfect opening for FALL '08!

JIMMYJANE

JimmyJane's Natural Emollient Massage Candles

The heady fragrances alone will put you in the mood - or snuff out the flame and drizzle the wax on a very lucky someone. Made with natural cosmetic-grade waxes and other plant extracts to nourish the skin and stimulate the senses. Candles have never offered more possibility. With such delicious hybrids such as Truffle & Gardenia, Lychee & Lapsang, and Ginger & Date and a burn time of 60 hours, I  say that's about right for some decent foreplay...www.jimmyjane.com 

ASANTE !

Asante stools indicate status, power and succession of chiefs and kings. Carved from single blocks, Asante (or Ashanti) stools traditionally have crescent-shaped seats, flat bases and complex support structures, which exist in many designs with symbolic meaning. Most had specific names and designated users. Asante stools are spiritual as well as practical. They were understood to be the seat of the owner's soul and when not in use were leaned against a wall so that other souls passing by would not settle on it. My current obsession, so on the hunt for right one...just love that hand carved detailing...so now!

ART DIRECTION D'AFRIKA

So...... OBSESSED & POSSESSED with AFRICAN art, design and its primitive cultures lately. Its really very fascinating, so bold and so sophisticated. These vintage book and exhibition catalog covers are just brilliant. I really love them and want them all...the art direction back then was so simple yet so effective...not to mention that FONT treatment! Really like the layout of the photos, done very scientifically. Just LOVE the look...Gonna see if I can find 'em somewhere...perhaps the STRAND, or even the main library....
