If you don't live in Joburg, my sincerest apologies.

I took these pics last week at the latest exhibition by Zimbabwean artist, Kudzanai Chiurai titled State of the Nation.  The opening was in Newtown but the exhibition has since moved to Goodman Gallery at Arts on Main.  The whole of Joburg came out (I even spotted William Kentridge) for this lauded and exiled young man's sometimes spiritual sometimes violent and fervently physical exploration into Africa's past and present.  It's a pity most of the people that were there probably can't afford to buy paintings for R95 000.  

It was worth it. The cherry on top was a moving performance by Thandiswa Mazwai and half of the Blk Jks Mpumi Mcata and Tshepang Ramoba as well as musician, restaurateur, artist and generally cool dude João Orecchia

Mad Women

These are not the best images of them but they will do. As I said in my welcome note, I am obfrikkinsessed with Mad Men and most notably, Betty, Peggy and Joan. I found these pictures in Glamour UK.

Paris, we love!

Comme des Garcons SS 2012

John Galliano SS2012

That thing she does.

I don't even have words to explain how much I love these art and fashion comparisons miss moss does! This is a comparison of Kenzo's Spring Summer 2012 collection, a first for Creative Directors Humberto Leon and Carol Lim of Opening Ceremony. I found this (much later) on Honesly WTF last week, when she posted this, I'm sure I was out of action and not reading any blogs because of fomo.
