Video Lust: Jennifer Lopez's 'I'm Glad'


While we're on the subject of Ms. Lopez and Flashdance, let's take a look at the visual feast of Jennifer Lopez's "I'm Glad".

Lust on Film: Flashdance


It's the story of an 18 year old girl who welds at a steel mill during the day, dances at a bar by night, and dreams of one day being in the ballet.

Video Lust: Lady Gaga's 'Marry the Night'


I am mildly obsessed with Lady Gaga's "Marry the Night" video. I know, it was her last video but it's not very recent news. I'm making a conscious effort to blog about inspiration, new or old, it's far too much work trying to keep up with breaking news.

Lust for Music: Christina Aguilera's 'Bionic'


Christina Aguilera's "Bionic" is probably one of the most underrated albums of the last few years. It gained a lot of criticism for it's electric feel in comparison to Lady Gaga. Not that I don't love the Gaga, but she is hardly the only artist with an electric feel in the industry.

Brand Dominated Universe

All Photos from Guy Hepner

Um, can it get much better than this? I don't want to sound like a label whore, but this Ultraviolet Collection of artwork from Eric Hajjar and Meredith Rose, entitled "Brand Dominated Universe", is heaven.

Tom Ford + Paris


Mr. Ford, as I like to call him, has put his stamp on Paris with his new store for men. The three story structure is located in Ville Lumière, where the handsome icon lives when he isn't in New Mexico, California, or New York. Coming soon is a larger store for women, which I'm sure will be another visual feast.

Video Lust: Kylie Minogue's 'The One'


I get crazy obsessed with this video, and you should too! Not only is "the One" a great song [and tons of fun live], but this art deco inspired display of visual delight with Kylie Minogue is music video heaven. Take a look for yourself...

Madonna + Cocaine


The launch of the MDNA tour has bloggers buzzing and me pretty depressed I don't have tickets for the show in LA. Madonna is my muse! Evident in the artwork above which was created by me.

The Madonna inspired work of art [above] is a reference to both Madonna and drug use. I quoted a lyric from "Vogue", "You try everything you can to escape the pain of life that you know", and referenced cocaine with the bloody nose. Meaning people use drugs to escape pain, or their situations.

The Redburry at Hollywood + Vine


Hip Hotel Alert! The Redbury at Hollywood & Vine looks like so much fun. It's the latest project from sbe [the Abbey in WeHo, Hyde in Las Vegas] and is a curated by Creative Director and renowned Photographer Matthew Rolston.

Nineties Nostalgia

Photos from Homotography

I've been obsessed with all of the press for the Versace SS12 goods. The graphic baroque print is a must have for any fashionista this summer. Found these photos by Charles Quiles titled "Nineties Nostalgia" shot for Bullet magazine. Absolutely in love with the style; studded shorts, floral, leather, and gold chains [yes, please].
