Chloe Sevigny - Reading

It's Chloe Sevigny time! This time she's discovered the feunyomyuenom of rajading. Haven't we all! We actually love reading, but even more so now! We'll never think of the Bhagavad Gita the same way again that's for sure. And ooooo, what the heck is burnt bone massage? Not even google knows! But Chloe does! Naturally! Oh Chloe.

Carolyn Murphy for Vogue Italia September 2012 by Steven Meisel

We absolutely adore Vogue Italia's creative license when it comes to their all important September issue. Remember last year's stunning Ethel Granger editorial with Stella Tennant? When we saw this year's editorial cover Face The Future we almost spit our coffee out! It's an ode to Julie Masking and the whole masking community! We're terrified and intrigued at the same time! Goregous Carolyn Murphy is superb in these shots by Steven Meisel. WOW! Holy fuck! It's so good and elegant & we love the juxtaposition of luxury country life with the undertone the masks bring to the table. Watch the amazing fashion film below + JULIE at her best. For more masking click here if ya dare! Anna Wintour put Lady GaGa on her September issue as we all know, last year was Kate Moss. Pretty safe names to say the least. That's why we love Italian editor-in-chief Franca Sozzani so much! Bella! Update: And now Channel 4 has a whole masking documentary.

Chloe Sevigny wants your original music!

It's recently come to our attention that our beloved Chloe Sevigny is gearing up for two new videos! Be still our beating heart! Dare we hope for minimalistic vegan sandwiches macerated in wine from a 14th century Italian monastery? Eaten with the greatest of ease in the office of Anna Wintour wearing a body bib from Nakkna? Oh! The thing is she neeeeds your help with the soundtrack! She and her director friend Jim Hansen are looking for some original music - dancey, clubby, dubby, tracks that reminds you of Alek Wek on disco snow. So if you're a musician send us a Facebook message w your track and we will pass it along to her for consideration! Yes! Good luck!  

Update: Ms Sevigny sent us a message they have closed music submissions now.

Madonna - Nobody Knows Me - MDNA Tour Backdrop Video - HQ

Since Madonna is using the world's largest video screen on her current MDNA tour - she better fill it with some kickass backdrops! Last week we posted the Justify My Love film - and going to her show in Copenhagen last week it really stood out. So did her Nobody Knows Me - we love that M throws in some social commentary in all her recent tours. Remember her Get Stupid from 2009's Sticky & Sweet. Nobody has some real powerful imagery especially those who are no longer with us because of bullying that really hit home with us. Have a look at the HQ below!

David Bowie - Cracked Actor - A Sunday Documentary

We love David Bowie and music and personas have provided us with a flawless soundtrack for life and love throughout the years. We're hypnotized by this infamous 1974 documentary following David in Los Angeles during his Diamond Dogs tour. This was the year after the retirement of Ziggy Stardust and right after Alladin Sane and Pin Ups - right before his major American success with Young Americans. Wow! What an insane and productive period! The doc that remains to this day officially unreleased is famous for showing how frail his mental state was at the time as he was a heavy cocaine addict - which is evident we'd say in his apperance for sure. Alan Yentob who made this film is forever always remembered for his Bowie portrait - to this very day. It's an amazing time capsule - showing a legacy that influences artists heavily and will continue for decades if not centuries to come.

I was so blocked ... so stoned ... It's quite a casualty case, isn't it. I'm amazed I came out of that period, honest. When I see that now I cannot believe I survived it. I was so close to really throwing myself away physically, completely.  - David Bowie 1987
