Metamorphosis

Tim Labenda
I realize that we have posted almost nothing in days- Samantha is in the middle of her big move to New Orleans, I’ve been engrossed in the annual madhouse that is the Edwardian Ball, and on top of that every time I do sit down to look at my computer I get stuck looking at the Spring/Summer menswear lines, and am filled with an apathy so thick it curdles. Imagine my surprise today, when upon slogging into the morass of my Google reader, I found this gem of a collection from Tim Labenda! The boots are actually from last year’s collection, but were too saucy to skip posting.
How To: Tie a Scarf
Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock (or in Hawaii) for the last couple of years, you’ve probably noticed that scarves are really, really in. Which is great, because they keep you warm, you can wear them with everything, and they are a super-versatile piece of clothing that you can get dozens of looks out of. Unless, of course, you are me, and learned everything you know about scarf tying from Tom Baker in the late 70s.
Thank Heavens for the internet!

This Saturday in LA: Chet Zar’s Conjoined 2
This Saturday, Bergamot Station’s Copro Nason gallery will host the second installment of Conjoined. The event announcement reads:
The Sequel picks up where Conjoined 1 left off last year at this time. More classic sculptures, Life like models, Surreal assemblages, mixed media paintings, life sized toys and other conjoined works in 3-D. From the twisted and bizarre to the majestic and unbelievable there will be many unusual works!
Curated by painted monster maestro, Chet Zar, last year’s launch saw record attendance, numerous dropped jaws and abundant late-night lingerers, such was the entrancing power of the works displayed. Previews of art to be featured in Conjoined 2 have begun to surface on the Copro website to a similar effect:
