Prison Pussy at Le Baron, Paris

All I have to say is: "Sam" if every one's gotta muah muah kiss kiss you at the door, puuhleeazzz shave that prison pussy. NOTE: This term (prison pussy) refers to a specific kind of beard around a man's mouth, and comes courtesy of my friend Suzanne. Isn't your life better for knowing it?

Justin - What Goes Around Comes Around (Director's Cut)

Nick Cassavetes will never be his dad. Sam Bayer will never be a real movie director. Justin will never be Michael. THIS VIDEO IS UNEQUIVOCALLY GREAT.

Francois-Henri Pinault + Kanye West




BFFAE. Nothing warms my heart like seeing multibillionaire businessman Monsieur Pinault (of luxury giant PPR) and his bosom buddy, Mr. Kanye West, brought together for a night in Paris a la Stella McCartney. Sweatshirt is by L.A. label LRG.

In other news, Mr. Kanye West has also just become a partner in In-n-Out Burger rival chain, FATBURGER: http://www.fatburger.net/home/.

Grizzly Bear Tourdates


A far cry from those first concerts when we sat stoned &cross-legged in a semicircle of six at the Bowery Ballroom. Today, catch em on tour but they've definitely arrived so wade through the faux-hippie/red-lipsticked chicks because it's worth it. Grizzly bear 3 years ago, Grizzly Bear today -- rad rad rad.

Mariage Freres Tea




Mariage Freres (Rue du Bourg-Tibourg, 3e), get the 28 Euro classic tea menu: 4 decadent sandwiches (foie gras, crevettes, smoked salmon, cucumber) done immaculately and served with your choice of the kind of tea that gets you hiiiigghhh. Makes the Alice Roi-designed Lady Mendl's (www.innatirving.com) in NYC look like kindergarten snacktime. Unfortunately, the highly traditional French institution of Mariage Freres happens to now be owned by a Tawainese businessman. Or maybe Thai. Sorry to say, it's no longer the family affair it once was.

Gustavo Lins at Galerie Joyce, Palais Royal





"Défilé Statique" translation: instead of models on a runway, mannequins in a Galerie. Ah, yes, how... how do you say that in french? Ah right, conceptual. Gustavo left Louis Vuitton several years ago and has since been creating his own asian-inspired, sculpturally tailored clothes for men and women. Beautiful attention to materials, but not strikingly original in my esteem. Swarms of photographers in an itty bitty space. Free champagne and tea. Images of the clothes from Diane Pernet (http://dianepernet.typepad.com/diane/2007/01/gustavo_lins_at.html), ghetto photo of invite by me, Gold Molar.

"Barbe a Papa" - Cotton Candy & Obscure 80s Cartoons


Roughly translated as "Papa's Beard", "Barbe à Papa" is the flavor we Americans call "Cotton Candy".


Then, there is "Barbapapas" a wildly popular 80s cartoon about a shapeshifting family that grew from the ground. Though it was apparently broadcast in the US, I had never seen it and it's pretty sick. Check out this link: http://whoa-cool.net/barbapapa/fun.php, for endless hours of fun, including YouTube episodes. See the shockingly revelatory results of my quiz:


Which Barbapapa Personality Are You?




You are Barbidou! You love the natural world. You enjoy getting out of the city with an armful of kitties and/or puppies.

Tigersushi Records: Poni Hoax at La Boule Noire

Poni Hoax, My Sister Klaus, Theoretical Girls at La Boule Noire (120 bd Rochechouart 75018 Paris) the unmarked downstairs of La Cigale. Poni Hoax are high energy if not terribly unique. The lead singer is refreshingly ugly. Bug-eyed and balding like a frog. La Boule Noire is a very deep rectangular space, bigger than expected -- somewhere between Bowery Ballroom and Webster Hall. OK, minus the so-obviously-coked-out-that-she-wasn't-actually, aging hipster who kept climbing on her trucker-hat wearing boyfriend's shoulders and shouting.

Japanese coffee + Evangelism (William S. Clark)



How great: japanese single-serving coffee filter invention.

NOTE: The package reads, "boys be ambitious!", a phrase allegedly made famous in Japan by aristo- masshole politician and evangelist William S. Clark in 1877 when he converted a bunch of Japanese college boys to Christianity. Also, speculated to have been the mysterious "master" in many of Emily Dickinson's poems.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_S._Clark
