Vintage Art Poster



Vintage poster for a Warhol & Basquiat art exhibition. In 1985, Andy Warhol decided to take advantage of Jean-Michel Basquiat sudden success to make a much needed comeback.
It didn't happen, the art they made together didn't sell, and the exhibition somewhat hurt Basquiat's career.
2 years later, Warhol died, and a few months after that Jean-Michel overdosed.

The Heathers!










''Last night was the grand finale of cult cable television docu-drama RuPaul’s Drag Race. In case you haven’t seen it, I’ll refrain from revealing to you which one of these two ladies won (Manila Luzon, left, and Raja, right). Saturday night, these two and their fellow “Heather” Carmen Carrera took to the stage at NYC’s Escuelita club in Hell’s Kitchen to give their fans the IRL performance they’ve been waiting for. One of RuPaul’s infamous taglines on the show is “Don’t fuck it up!” The Heathers heeded Ru’s words to the hilt. Ladies: never sashay away.''

Wang Disappoints


Alexander Wang's show was just streamed live online, and it was disgusting. I haven't been so disappointed by a fashion show in a long time.
I didn't like his collection last season, because there was no black. Black is back this season, but the designs are caca!
WTF was up with the silk sheets?
WTF was up with the purple and orangy leopard prints?
WTF ponchos?
WTF was up with the weird added pockets all over the place?
WTF was up with that weird yellow thing inside the zippered pockets?
WTF was up with those ugly bunny slippers?
WTF was up with those ripped dresses?
The show kept getting worse and worse and worse, i wonder how the critics will react. Such disappointment! Better luck next time Wang!
