Cliche as it may be - I am extremely excited for the royal wedding. It's a modern day fairy tale with a lot of expensive fashion. Furthermore, I am thoroughly enjoying all the hype and rediculous memorabilia to go with it.
I picked up some random magazine at my friend's place and came across the works of Lucio Fontana. Fontana is best known as a founder of spatialism, an art movement that grew in the 1950s from abstract expressionism's approach to rid art of the classic canvas and easel combined with the attempts in this period to represent movement and time within the pieces themselves.
In 2005, artists Cécile Colle and Ralf Nuhn exhibited "Cyber-Spatialism". This show works to address the concept of virtual space replacing real space in our ever increasing globalized culture.

Coralie Bickford-Smith,
who often designs book covers for Penguin, just published a series of
F. Scott Fitzgerald deco-inspired covers.
So Sgt. Pepper took you by surprise You better see right through that mother's eyes
Those freaks was right when they said you was dead
The one mistake you made was in your head
Ah, how do you sleep?
Ah, how do you sleep at night?
You live with straights who tell you you was king
Jump when your momma tell you anything
The only thing you done was yesterday
And since you're gone you're just another day
Ah, how do you sleep?
Ah, how do you sleep at night?
Ah, how do you sleep?
Ah, how do you sleep at night?
A pretty face may last a year or two
But pretty soon they'll see what you can do
The sound you make is muzak to my ears
You must have learned something in all those years
Ah, how do you sleep?
Ah, how do you sleep at night ?
I was excited to see on stunning blog, Inspiration Circulation,

Worn Fashion Journal covered the Toronto Slutwalk
A campaign protecting women's rights against sexual violence. The protest was prompted after a police authority made a public statement generalizing "dressing like sluts" and rape.
The crowd chanted:
"However we dress, wherever we go, yes means yes and no means no."
>Reading this story reminded me of a part I just read in Persepolis, when one woman is sexually attacked in the streets for not wearing her veil, dressing "promiscuously" and "asking for it".
This past weekend One Day Without Shoes took place at my favorite Frances Boutique in Phoenix. Many were more than happy to join in and go barefoot to help support the TOMS cause, gaining efforts to put shoes on underpriveleged chidlren around the world. Their purpose is to “raise awareness of the impact a pair of shoes can have on a child’s life by taking off your own today". Show your support - go shopping! Some new TOMS I have my eyes on...
