Sweet Face

1988 NYC – sandwiched between Chinatown and LES lived Kim and Thurston in apartment below ‘the famous artist’ Dan Graham. Real downtown punk rock living! Railroad style. Watch the 3 part interview here. Incredibly dry humored Thurston is very entertaining. Cat and Kim talk included. Thanks for the tip Brock Shorno!

RIP Whitney Houston. Before Whitney was famous for her voice, she was a fashion model. I Wanna Dance With Somebody was maybe my favorite video ever on MTV. The color palette–so striking, the vignettes–so graphic, the song–so danceable! Update: Why didn’t I see/mention her red overalls!?! Cute stuff.

Yesterday I was reminiscing about ESLEEP brand pajamas—oversized, jersey style sleep shirts accompanied with boxer shorts. Huge in the late 80s – early 90s. Remember? via Ebay I found the most unusual ESLEEP sleepwear—a button down, collared shirt with native americana style graphics complete with 2-D fringe! What?! Buy it now.
