Hungry Eyes, wait no, Wolves!

Nina, you asked me what you should do in Berlin...

Photos are from'Head On' by Cai Guo-Qiang at the Deutsche Guggenheim in Berlin. It was a fascinating exhibit to be up close to.

"The installation consists of 99 life-sized wolves, fabricated from painted sheepskins and stuffed with hay and metal wires, barreling in a continous stream towards - and into - a glass wall. Only the first ones crash into it, but the pack chases after the leader."

Hungry Eyes Wants to be Decapitated




The Decapitator: An anonymous London graffiti artist who "decapitates" humans, animals, cartoons or anything with a head that appears in street advertisements. He(BTW who says it's a he?) removes the head and replaces it with a neck bone and some splattered blood. Pretty genius really. It's probably some zit-faced kid who blew up animals in microwaves as a child. I'm not hatin! I'm congratulatin!

M.I.A Show With Glass Candy

Friday night we caught the 37th MIA show this year. I don't mean to sound bored, it's consistently a great show. She always lets people get on stage to dance with her and she climbs the speaker towers and stuff so it's pretty fun. Her back-up singer, Cherry, oozes talent and some cutie boy in Jeremy Scott pants danced like a nut-bag for the whole show. It was fun to watch.

"Paper Planes"

[x2]
I fly like paper, get high like planes
If you catch me at the border I got visas in my name
If you come around here, I make 'em all day
I get one down in a second if you wait

[x2]
Sometimes I think sitting on trains
Every stop I get to I'm clocking that game
Everyone's a winner now we're making that fame
Bonafide hustler making my name

[x4]
All I wanna do is (BANG BANG BANG BANG!)
And (KKKAAAA CHING!)
And take your money

[x2]
Pirate skulls and bones
Sticks and stones and weed and bombs
Running when we hit 'em
Lethal poison through their system

[x2]
No one on the corner has swag like us
Hit me on my burner prepaid wireless
We pack and deliver like UPS trucks
Already going hell just pumping that gas

[x4]
All I wanna do is (BANG BANG BANG BANG!)
And (KKKAAAA CHING!)
And take your money

M.I.A.
Third world democracy
Yeah, I got more records than the K.G.B.
So, uh, no funny business

Some some some I some I murder
Some I some I let go
Some some some I some I murder
Some I some I let go

Hungry Eyes Thrifting Adventures




One of the best things about where I live is the amount of really great thrift stores. I'm not talking about the overpriced Goodwill on Main Street, I'm talking about the mom & pop thrift shops where they don't extra over price things for being "vintage". Despite the photos taken I actually did walk away with some amazing pieces. I bought a ceramic Greek God bust that I'm cleaning up today and some new tops. I also bought a leather vase with gold lion door knockers all over it. Not the right look for my house but could make a good gift for someone down the road. Check out these oddities!
