So long, Xanga. It's been a (mostly) good 7+ years, in one place. Remarkable right? Hat tips to the few -- Brittany Jo, Alice, Tiffany, Brad, and Camille for sticking it out with me ;)
{VIDEO} Ballet performance by NYC Ballet dancers, Justin Peck & Janie Taylor for Canada's The Block Magazine. Fashion by Chloe. Music by Phillip Glass.
Typically you can only view ballet from a singular direction, from the front. It's extra beautiful as a three-dimensional experience.
{SONG} NORAH JONES "Change Is Gonna Come" (an original, not a cover of the Sam Cooke classic). Wasn't thinking I'd be that into it in the first 10 seconds but then comes the chorus, which I LOVE.
{SONG} SCARLETT JOHANSSON "One Whole Hour". Great jazzy smokey song. Better than you'd expect.
Both of these come from the soundtrack of the documentary film Wretches & Jabberers. Haven't seen it but it looks fascinating for sure.
{PHOTOS} Brigitte Bardot, James Dean. Photographers unknown (to me).
* We're halfway though April already, but it's a wintry gray day in New York, but I'm sitting in a cafe eating french toast, but taxes are due on Monday, but life is beautiful.
{VIDEO} Skateboarder Kilian Martin for Man About Town Magazine. Song by Ricky Nelson. Love the idea. Talented skating, superb style, brilliant art direction.
