I saw Girlfriends directed by Claudia Weill at BAM last night. One in the series of girl centric films curated by Lena Dunham. Can’t stop thinking about it. 1970s NYC art girls rule!! Highlights: Susan Weinblatt, animal print sweater dress, wooden spool wire table, red walls, mauve, satchels.
Satchels should be the new tote.

Thurston looking through old issues of his fan zine ‘Killer’.


And here’s Madonna on the cover, taken by Richard Kern, before she was a well known chanteuse.

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.
