The Mad Ones.

The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!” - Kerouac.

"Success is a job in New York."
- Andy Warhol



It is mornings like this in San Diego where I miss New York City. Getting into the office just as the sun rises, black on black everything except for a pair of brightly colored Tod's loafers, hands full with all the "necessities" I bring with me to start my day, and a giant Starbucks I attempt to spill on everything coming within a 5 foot radius of me.

I finally put my assortment of items down, organize the piles of papers surrounding me (by pushing them to the farthest end of my desk in attempt to achieve a large enough workspace for a pen to rest), click my computer on, and sit staring blankly at the wall in front of me while I wait for it to start up.

Silence. All I hear is silence. Time to begin the day.

Coachella!!!

THE LINE-UP WE'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR!!!




April 15, 16, 17!!! Buy your tickets Jan 21, or fight the forces of Craigslist creepers the week before. Best 3 days of Spring ever, and if you think "three days of music and hippies" is all that Coachella is about, it only takes up maybe 20% of your attention that weekend.

Green Globe Awards.

It was a tie for the 2011 Green Globe Award,
and it goes to:
Catherine Zeta Jones and Angelina Jolie:



Green was hands down the power color of the gowns worn by the best dressed this year at the 2011 Golden Globe Awards.



We have Catherine Zeta Jones in
a stunning emerald green
Monique Lhuillier strapless gown.



Here's Angelina Jolie in
a sparkly Atelier Versace gown.
The floor-length, long-sleeved number
gets some added looks
with draped backless detail.



Anne Hathaway was dressed by stylist Rachel Zoe in a very similar spangled Armani gown. Sharing the modern look, long sleeves, shoulder pads and a high neck that worked so well for Angelina, Anne falls a little short on the color factor.
