{ My Daguerreotype Boyfriend }

Now, don't worry, I haven't left the Loon. This is just the name of the cute new site I found with hot2death... like literally cause these photos are so old, gentlemen from the olden days when cameras become more widely available... I know! so silly! and definately worth the giggle time. I even love the site's tagline, Where Early Photography Meets Extreme Hotness... I lol'ed at that. They even have a calendar if pin-ups and beef cakes aren't your thing. {via}

{ Old White Guys are Everywhere }

Richard Meier x Massimo VignelliOn the Edge of Modernism With the Master Architect and the Genius Designer

Illustrious modernist Richard Meier and multi-disciplinary creator Massimo Vignelli reflect on their respective crafts, city life, and enduring friendship in this mesmeric film by Johnnie Shand Kydd. Shot at the minimalist offices of Richard Meier & Partners on 10th Avenue and West 36th Street, the two powerhouses discuss their collaboration on the firm’s forthcoming monograph, Richard Meier, Architect Volume 6, chronicling the stark, white, rationalist buildings that define the firm’s aesthetic.

{ Margaux's Mix: New Lana del Rey }

When I first heard Video Games, almost a year ago, it was an instant head over heels love. Then as more and more media hype started up, I become somewhat disillusioned with Lana. Not that I was the backlash necessarily, but I was a little judgemental for the lizzy grant to lana del rey transformation. But after the album dropped, I figured, what's the big deal? I mean, lots of artists transform themselves, and even if her songs (on the album) are redundant sounding at times, they are catchy tunes. Her coo-ing and purrs solidified her persona, the gangsta nancy sinatra, for me. Then there was the SNL debactal, which was hard to watch, and supposedly was the reason she postponed her tour... So I guess I figured I wouldn't be hearing too much from Lana in the near future.

That brings me to what I found yesterday, a leaked track, Never Let You Go.  And that brought back that love of her easy, lounge, 60's influenced hipster rock. Maybe it's the guitar track that reminds me of All the Young Dudes, or the easy soft strings, or maybe even the lyric, "I could be your Nancy, You could be my Sid" But I just can't get enough of this track! Enjoy!

{ Dr. Sketchy: coming to you }

So I've recently fallen in love with Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School. These gals basically set up life drawing classes in bars (it was started in 2005 by Molly Crabtree in a dive bar in Brooklyn) and it open to anyone who loves to drink and sharpen their drawing skills... or lack of skillz. Any and everyone no matter the skill level are encouraged to attend. I haven't been yet, but I've been watching vids and reading reviews, and am a little distraught there isn't a branch in good ol' Knoxville. But not to fear, I have requested more info! I'll keep you guys posted on that, but in the mean time let me know your thoughts. I mean who doesn't want to drawing gorg-half-nakie ladies? love love

{ Halloween Planning }

It's never too early to plan something bad ass! That's why I think I want to go as Kali, the 6 armed Goddess, for Halloween. What do you think? I don't want to offend anyone... and plenty of people go as Jesus (drunk or goofy) all the time. I just think this goddess is bad ass! Plus I need to get started paper mache-ing up those arms and maybe a severed head.

{ Hot and Famous Hubby Helps }

So jack white's lady wife (not meg... we all were confused by that at first) Karen Elson has released an album, and it's pretty good too... I don't have the whole album listened to yet, but check out this song. So far I like! Who knew this brit super model could sing? {via}

{ Hobo Chic }

Apparently this dude in China is quickly becoming a fashion icon and trendsetter. Refered to as Brother Sharp, he has a distinguished snarl, cig hanging out of mouth, his layering and mixing of woman's clothing is his signature, but I guess a homeless dude doesn't have much choice but to do so to stay warm. Many have tried to help him out, or even get to know his story, but remember .. he is homeless and straight up craz-zay!  {via}

Gimme Sympathy

who would you rather be? The Beatles or the Rolling Stones... Gimme Sympathy.

emily haines, I heart you!

Best Halloween Costume

and it wasn't mine, but I think its definitely worth making a mental note and putting aside of next year. Pop art come alive! (via)
