spectacular hats

Mallory Ortberg is actually like my Winged Nike of Samothrace. But with a head. And a beautiful, hilarious brain.

Sometimes art is a series of GIFs by Serbia-born, Denmark-based artist Vladimir Stankovic. I love these. Moth Pharoah?! Both darling and creepy. Just my style.

I made this dress for a college formal. I cried every day I made it. Bless you, Oscar de la Renta, for executing beauty and radiance in every design. This video of Carrie Bradshaw reading the Vogue in Season 6 is a beautiful tribute as well. I mean, I didn’t even line the darn thing. He’d hate it!

dying edith schiele

Egon Schiele sketched his wife, Edith, before she died in 1918 as part of the Spanish flu pandemic. She was six months pregnant. At 28, he died three days later.

It gets worse: Tomorrow’s Monday.

song of the lark

girl of the lark

“‘Well, there’s a girl who doesn’t have a whole lot of prospects, but the sun’s coming up anyway and she’s got another chance at it.’ So I think that gave me some sort of feeling that I too am a person and I get another chance everyday the sun comes up.”

Bill Murray, on The Girl of the Lark

The painting is on permanent display at the Art Institute of Chicago.

This video, called “Eyes of Hitchcock,” will easily be one of the scariest things I watch. And I pull up Kevin Ware’s injury on the reg.
