“Art has been used to express feelings about every kind of situation…I was happy to be able to do something that helped the Brown family even in a small way. And it’s not over. It will never be over until black lives matter as much as white lives.” – Mary Englebreit

Photographer Sandro Miller uses John Malkovich as a subject for a new exhibition that honors some the artists that inspired his career. Just when I didn’t think I could love and cherish John Malkovich more for his classic SNL holiday monologue, this happens! Love, love, love.

Top to bottom: Malkovich as Che Geuvara and Muhammed Ali.

what’s the mada

mada

No actually, I’m loving these bad puns for titles. However, I’m all about Mada’s entire look here. The saucy stance, these saddle shoes, that BOW?! Holy moly, Mada. You are everything I want for my own look, and you’re only nine.

worry ’bout yo’self

no thank you

I wish I had more time in my day to spend surfing YouTube videos, so I’m sure thankful for friends that pass along gems like this. Rose is probably a.) the cutest thing ever, and b.) me in a former life. No question about it: Time travel exists.

quadriga

I won’t delve into the details, but I’ve been studying the architectural marvels of Germany lately. With that said, the Brandenburg Gate’s quadriga is one of the most famous of quadrigas ever created: It’s manned stationed by Victory, and was once taken by Napoleon during his occupation in Berlin! The word can refer to the chariot alone, the four horses without it, or the combination. I know, thrilling.

Did you know that Apollo delivered daylight in a quadriga? Uh, duh! Fantasia, anyone?!

Jeanne Samary looks born ready for Friday, doesn’t she? Turns out she used to go out with Renoir, who painted her post-break up in the Luncheon of the Boating Party that you can see at the Phillips Collection in DC. She’s the one being a major flirt with the two men at the back. And Renoir’s new girlfriend is playing with the dog. Whaaaa?! Renoir, you so crazy!
