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
