BARBIE'S ALWAYS IN STYLE

While Christmas shopping in the Toys 'R' Us Times Square Store, I stopped by the Barbie section.
It was amazing.
As a child I love love loved Barbies and it's only as an adult I can truly see why... They are sooooo fashionable! The variety of dolls at the store was immense, but I have to say, hands down, my two favorite colletions were the Fashionistas and the So In Style Roca Wear group.   The Roca Wear group is obviously adorable, but  in the Fashionista group, it's the accessories that really set it off!

3-D TAPESTRY

The world of tapestry recently received a breath of fresh air from Melborne artist Emma Sulzer.  Tapestry, the art of weaving designs and scenes into fabric, usually comes in the form of wall hangings.  Inspired by  her friend's sneaker collection and a desire to rejuvenate the art form, Sulzer choose athletic footwear classics as the subject or her recent Australian art show. Each model took 40 hours to create, breaking each sneaker down into pattern pieces that were separately weaved, then sewn together and finally crafted on a wire frame. While the replicas are not wearable, they are for sale. Purchase inquires can be sent to esulzer@victapestry.com.au.

FULL OF ONE LINERS

While I'm not ready to call his recent album a "classic", I do believe that Kid Cudi's britches are rather sung,  black people are sometimes black people's worst enemy, sharding is funny, and being judgmental is wack.
