RIP brian duffy, the photographer who not only shot the alladin sane cover, but also the photographer who made a stuffy british politician look cool...you will be missed!

saw this on the sartorialist blog, and love the way this girl has tied her hermés scarf. would love to have a male client dandy enough to rock this around his neck! guys used to do it back in the 18th and 19th centuries...

last night i had the pleasure of going to the opening of a lillian bassman show at paul smith, possibly the most beautiful store in la. not only did i get to see a bunch of old friends and meet and chat to the incredibly talented and nice gary oldman and his stunning wife alexander, but i got to see ms bassman's photgraphs close up. i love the illustrative quality of them. she was way ahead of her time...sadly she couldn't make it, she's 93 and a little frail. but wow! amazing work!

and to coincide with the premier, another great banksy piece appeared in a parking lot downtown. i think this is one of my favourites of his for a while...seems to be very old school banksy, and sits very nicely with baloon girl!
