Vincent van Gogh painted this from memory of a bullfight. Within weeks of painting this, van Gogh had cut part of his ear. I feel similarly about large crowds.

Looks like Lovejoy just told Jack Dawson Leonardo diCaprio is 40 today.
marshmallow world
Sometimes art is Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin singing “Marshmallow World,” the song that’s featured in Target’s latest holiday ad. Be still my beating heart, I love this song. When my mom texted me the news this morning, I just sent her a bunch of Santa emojis and wrote, “Greatest news of my life.”
Though this kinda makes me think of how I liked Kings of Leon back when I saw them playing at Iowa’s student union in 2007. And NOW LOOK AT THEM.
veterans day
Happy Veterans Day. May you find yourself swiping right and then cuddling with a man (or woman!) in uniform on the Metro today.
north by north west
I attempted ballet. Tennis. Softball. Violin. By the time I got around to the idea of wanting to drive a golf cart, my mom said, Absolutely not. And you know what, Mom? I turned out JUST FINE. But I will tell you, this idea of letting North West paint an Hermes goes above and beyond of my wildest dreams.
Watch me paint something that’s literally thousands of dollars, Ma! (Oh, and prepare me to bail me outta jail when it happens.)
‘yonce & francoise
Beyonce posted this picture on Insta last week of her posing next to a portrait of Françoise Gilet, Picasso’s lover, muse, and baby mama. Needless to say, I want both of these women’s voluminous hair.
manet
Manet’s “Spring” fetched a whopping $65 million at auction last week. Turns out the buyer was the Getty. “Spring” was meant part of a series of women representing the seasons, but Manet only completed “Spring” and “Autumn” before he died in 1883.
Spring’s way hotter.
dog sweaters
I have made complete peace with stores wanting me to celebrate Christmas a solid three weeks before Thanksgiving. I will go ahead and say that Omar wants all of these this year.
This one has a toggle AND an American flag on the back!
Perhaps the best part is these are all Ralph Lauren, and retail for about $95. Home Sale knocks 30% off though, so they’re a STEAL.
