Kjoo
What Kjoo creates is so unique (although a few have been very much "inspired" since she opened her Etsy store), it just reveals a very personal inner world. She creates this "shambolic" shapes and textures and the result is mesmering.

Spotify!
Go here and download it now if you haven´t yet.
All the music of the world (approximately), for free, legal.
Downsides? You don´t own the music (it´s not on your computer, so it cannot be burnt or put unto your Ipod), and there´s an ad every half hour.
I can definitely live with this.

Put up a post with your ideal job, and who knows, an employer might fancy it and take you in.
A wonderful, hope-inspiring idea from The School of Life.

Regina Jose Galindo
Mr. M. and I checked out what's up in the Museum of Modern Art and again... umph!
The performance work of Regina Jose Galindo is not easy. It is actually rather brutal. She mostly works by inflicting on her own body the treatment others receive in war, punishment, prison, etc. She also has more social issues based projects, such as one where she is drawn with all the lines charactheristic of cosmetic surgergy.

Reader glasses
I know it's wrong. I know that if you don't need glasses, it's practically insulting to wear fake ones. But I really want some (especially the first ones, possibly in black). Like in Everything is Illuminated, but with lipstick.
Shown models from Urban Outfitters.

Doshi Levien
"My beautiful backside" sofa.
Different, daring, colorful and multicultural. Lusting all over it (I could do just with the cushions, really, The thin long one, the "oval" ones... they are stunning).
By Doshi Levien (who keep on getting it very, very right).
Rotozaza's Etiquette
ROTOZAZA'S ETIQUETTE on Bloomberg 'Muse' News from rotozaza on Vimeo.
Mr. M. and I went to play (and see?) this experimental piece. It takes place in the middle of a crowded cafe. You get a set of headphones, he gets one too. You have a series of props. An audio (different for the two of us) indicated what to say and do. It was a very weird feeling talking to him without knowing what he was going to reply (Or being told what to tell him, for that matter). Beautifully put together.

I'm over the moon!

Chuck Close
Another portrait artist that makes me shiver. You can read some more on him here. How can his pixelated effect be so mesmerizing when the pixels are nothing but random blobs of random colors? Ah...
Atypyk
Atypyk is a controversial French design company. They usualy play with little daily rutines (a bottle-shaped pastry roller) or challenging our perception of the world (see pics). Interesting to see (I like the twin -Eiffel- tower postcard).
I'm back
Oh, dear internet. I cannot believe I've finally made 10 minutes to log in. It's been pure madness lately.
In the meanwhile, Cloudery has posted Katherina in her super-cool blog, M V S E V M. Thanks so much!
