After work yesterday I went to the Steven Kasher Gallery with my friend Bryanna, for the “Andy Warhol: Unexposed Exposures” opening. The place was packed and everyone seemed to be as curious about the works as Andy Warhol seemed to be when photographing the various subjects depicted in the photographs themselves. From dogs to a photo of Andy & Victor Hugo (my favorite) to Diana Ross, Halston, Yves Saint Laurent and a ton more, everyone who was and is anyone is in those pictures! MORE AFTER THE JUMP!

Further details after the jump.

I’ve been pretty obsessive about watching Law & Order: SVU on Netflix as of late and yeah I know, it’s kinda sad. I should be in bed right now actually seeing as it’s 2:41 AM and I have to be up for work at 8:30 AM…ugh.

Anyway, I just watched this episode of Law & Order about this popular girl that got “murked” and no one could figure out who did it and they thought it was the fat girl because well the popular girl was always making fattie’s life miserable..blah blah. Anyway, it wasn’t the fat girl after all, it was…I’m not telling.

[Yes, this is the skank from SOUL PLANE.]

I was annoyed with this episode because in the end the fat girl ends up shooting someone in the school and it’s like, well damn, did they have to add that twist in the show? Like, what is the purpose…annoying. Fat girl finally gets a break when her main tormentor is killed and boom, before the fucking week is up she kills some ho in school that is making fun of her…

Tsk. Tsk. Moral of the story: Don’t fuck with fat ppl cuz you might end up dead.

[WAWA is so bangin'!]

I hung out with a friend of mine named Kylene a lot this weekend, she is such a

I like this picture of Heath. It’s playful and I like the perspective
and I like the curiosity it suggests.

The spelling and ill placed capitalization in Ms. WoWW’s name makes me ill, but not more than the fact that she considers Ed Hardy to be “fashion”. VOMIT. Haha. I feel bad for the sap that had to do the research for the chart below.

Poor thing. and LOL, it’s BeBe, who gives a damn about that “line”, haha. Bebe has what I consider the worst ad campaigns I have ever seen, ad campaigns riveled only by Strawberry’s and Limited Too.

Kardashian is hot though. Like foreal though.

The only reason I even go is to hang out with my friends…cuz like I know I won’t be able to dance to anything, sadly. The one guy with all the tattoos that dJ’s the Monday night party at the party, Tigerbeats, does a pretty good job. His sets usually feature “cohesiveness” and skill, while that cannot be said of the others. Not that I’m trying to bring anybody down, because I’m not, but damn, please please play some shit that people can dance too. I don’t care if what you’re playing is “cool” and I don’t care if your best friend from grade is in town and requested it…IF NO ONE IS DANCING TO IT I SUGGEST YOU SWITCH TO THE NEXT TRACK. So awful. I mean you know it’s bad when the only thing that really gets the crowd going is “Smells like Teen Spirit” ————-> I kid you not.

Maybe I should ask for a night there or something..even if it’s a one time thing to see if what I like to dance to somehow falls under the category of what EVERYONE likes to dance to. I think it will, I know it will.

Anyway, because the vibe was wack I wasn’t encouraged to take many photos, though I wanted to. Below are the photos I did take.

omg, Abbey Lee and Natasha Poly, like..how could you go wrong?

Tonight I watched Boyz in the Hood for the first time ever. I know what you’re all sayin’…”late to the party” haha, I swear it wasn’t my fault; my moms was trippin’. Anyway, the movie was fantastic, I mean wow! I can’t believe I am just now seeing this movie. It’s like when I heard that Cassie song, Me & You for the first time late last year and I thought it had just come out…so ridiculous. I’m mad late on this one. The scenes, the character development, the actors, the soundtrack, DAAAAAAMN; this movie is literally the whole package… Keep reading →

okay, so Donatella Versace is tan, really tan. Shriveled up raisin tan, why? For serious, WHY? Damn, this is just unsightly! It makes me feel so sad inside. Like, it just looks like her skin is screaming and all she can think to do is rub sunscreen on versus just getting out of the sun altogether. ugh, so sad.

also odd is how much the face she is making resembles one Karl Lagerfeld makes all the time. I couldn’t find a picture of what I’m talking about, but i thought this nice picture of Karl smiling was cool enough to post any regardless of relevancy. Haha.

When I first saw this face on this raisin I thought to myself, ” damn, Karl lost all that weight and still has titties; dang. But wait, this is actually Donatella, tsk tsk. A+ for being bold enough to just walk around all dried up with your mammies all over the place, I mean that takes balls, but Dona babygirl you gotta take better care of yourself. You’re not as young as you used to be and things are probably changing with your body and your skin is probably getting a little baggy on you and stuff but like, you have nothing to prove to anyone so like…take it down a 1000 with the tanning.

this is LOL on so many levels. haha. this is a picture from the night Switch of Major Lazer played the Girls & Boys party at Webster Hall. Haha. I love to see intense grinding like this, it’s hilarious! Haha, I love that one can tell that the girl “wants it” just by reading her body language, haha, just look at her! Haha, she is in no way planning to put up a fight; She even seems to bind her own hands beneath her body as her man and/or random dude proceeds to grind on her…while she ’s on the filthy club floor…or is that the stage? Haha, GLORIOUS. And ha, I love that the dude get even more “shine” with this photo, haha, throwin’ up dueces and stuff for the camera while he is still on the girl.

Sighs, I love grinding.

Haha, LOL on so many levels. Love it.

On Monday night Inked Magazine celebrated their 2nd year anniversary at Avenue and it was a pretty spectacular event. It was sponsored by Jack Daniels, so you know every scenester and “tattoed-mama” was out in full force. Ha, I had a drink or two, not too much, but just enough to “get right”…LOL. There was a dj, someone I had never heard of who played all the stuff that everyone knew, but not with any amount of talent that was noticeable…[i wont go into it, under the advice of a friend]

“When I’m Gone” – Vivian Girls

So many of you will have already heard of the ever-popular, über-hyped, Brooklyn-based Vivian Girls, who have begun their tour of the UK promoting their sophomore album Everything Goes Wrong (In the Red, 2009). Friday night I had the pleasure of seeing them perform in the small, but moderately-famous Jericho Tavern (the JT is where, perhaps most notably, Radiohead first performed). After a superb opening by Veronica Falls, the Vivian Girls stepped on stage and played a solid set: a nice mix of songs from their new album and their self-titled debut. They even threw in a beautifully done a capella number with tambourines! (pictured above)

Hello people of ITYS. My name is Stephanie Malik and I’ll now be contributing to this lovely blog with happenings in the UK . I’m currently based in Oxford– where I am trying to figure out this philosophy/life stuff–and so most things I write about will likely take place here and in London. I’m actually from the US of A (just graduated from Oberlin), but still please forgive any inevitable anglicization (i.e. compulsive tea-drinking and excessive use of hyperbolic adjectives like “amazing” and “brilliant”).

In the coming months I hope to cover some gigs, starting with the Vivian Girls who played an amazing (I warned you!) show last night, and also some special events, like London’s East End Film Festival etc. Ought to be a fun extravaganza!… or something

Was nice meeting you.

Stephanie

In the wake of all tragedies, of course an idiot has to rise from the pool of his own filth to say something ridiculous, ill-timed and inappropriate. Today, that idiot is Pat Robertson, a “televangelidiot”.

Pat says that while under French rule, Haitians “swore a pact the Devil” to serve him if he delivered them from the French.
He then goes on to say that “ever since, they have been cursed by one thing after another.”

23 year old reality tv “star” Heidi Montag is “self admittedly” addicted to plastic surgery, according to People Magazine, sighs. Apparently she had 10 procedures done in one day, damn. Like what is she doing to herself? Though not a fan of her old show and not someone that thinks she is “the hottest”, she’s not a a bad looking person. I mean, above average for sure, like what is she doing? Does she want to end up looking like Joan Rivers?

or that soap star Lisa Rinna whose lips look like some kind f mangled genitalia??

yikes, stop! it’s so unnecessary and like, you’re 23 and you don’t need anything lifted or tucked or poked or prodded, dang. Hmm, this gets me to thinking…maybe it has something to do with her husband, Spencer Pratt, maybe he is encouraging it? I mean, didn’t his little sister have some “work” done to her face? Like I know she looked like a bad version of Paige from Degrassi, but like then she had some work done and looked like a 2% better version of a bad version of Paige from Degrassi…

anyway, just stop before you end up looking like some of the brain-dead, washed up, “celebrities” of yesteryear in their 60’s that hang out on the Lower East Side in New York…I mean, that’s the last thing you want, trust me! I’ve seen these people up close and lemme tell you, even in the dark a worked on set of cheeks and a worked on set of lips are mortifying!

take care of yourself Heidi, life is too short!

My heart goes out to Haiti, a place I have no problem admitting I am not too familiar with on any level other than having friends whose origin lies within, but that is neither here not there; Haiti is a place full of people, people who are now experiencing a suffering many of us will never know.

On Tuesday, an earthquake of about a 7.0 magnitude struck just outside of Haiti’s capital Port-Au-Prince leaving approximately 3 million people affected and thousands unaccounted for, some of which are presumed dead. By many accounts the earthquake left Haiti in state worse than that of a war zone. With their archbishop, Monsignor Joseph Serge Miot found dead and many hospitals, schools, and the parliament all collapsed, Haiti is experiencing the worst of times. This earthquake is said to be the worst the country has seen in two decades.

Many countries including the US, Venezuela, Canada, and France have pledged to send aid workers and relief to Haiti over the next few days to help in anyway we can. We, bloggers, photographers, entertainers, those of us working 9 to 5, etc should do our part to help as well. Whether putting 50 cents or a dollar in the Red Cross box on the counter at 7-11 or going to the Red Cross website [here] and donating that way, every little bit helps.

because  “workin’ together we can make a change, workin’ together we can help better things”

You can also donate & show your support by:

>>> text “HAITI” to ‘90999′ and a donation of $10 will be given automatically to the Red Cross to help with relief efforts, charged to your cell phone bill.

>>> text “Yele” to 501501 you will automatically be donating $5 to the Yele Haiti Earthquake Fund; more info on that can be found [here].

>>> visiting www.unicef.com and pledging your support.

>>> http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/01/13/world/main6090814.shtml a list of ways to help; thanks David.

In a move toward solidarity I feel it appropriate to use this day as a day as a day to not complain about the trivial, menial things I, and I’m sure many others, find to complain about on a day to day basis. There are problems so much bigger than anything we will ever experience going on in the world and today is as good a day as any to really just sit down and think about what you have and appreciate it. Life is too short and things happen unexpectedly so take nothing for granted. Be grateful for what you have and for your friends and family.

Haiti needs our help, so let’s help.

-Antwan & ITYS.
