From NY mag
"So some atheists are taking seriously the idea that atheism needs to stand for things, like evolution and ethics, not just against things, like God. The most successful movements in history, after all—Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, etc.—all have creeds, cathedrals, schools, hierarchies, rituals, money, clerics, and some version of a heavenly afterlife. Churches fill needs, goes the argument—they inculcate ethics, give meaning, build communities. “Science and reason are important,” says Greg Epstein, the humanist chaplain of Harvard University. “But science and reason won’t visit you in the hospital.”"

Designer Gas Masks

In my opinion the two elements juxtaposed here: Fashion and War, are equally mundane and also exceptional. But it talks a bout access to a situation. Maybe we are too used to the premise of exclusion by luxury brands, maybe that exclusion is the ultimate form of power, not for that more just than war. Economical power has in one end luxury as playground and in the other war as ways to secure the playground.
From the artist website: "We are in a state of perpetual war – with ourselves and with the eco-system that sustains us. Perpetual war breeds perpetual fear. In the present context, this fear stems from our extreme desire for authenticity and manifests itself in our collectively insatiable culture of consumption.
Deep down, we are afraid we may never be satisfied. An expanding archive of branded myths and icons feeds this fear. Designer Gas Masks is an attempt to visualize this state of mind. Because it is only by first acknowledging and then challenging fear that we will all be able to breathe a little easier.
The masks are currently made for gallery purposes only."

wild flowers
Little Edie, the glorious character of the cult documentary Gray Gardens has inspired a new line of jewelry. I guess crazy genious comes after long exposure to the shining jewels...I'm getting some.

You can hear the Mona Lisa say "I am the Mona Lisa. My true identity is shrouded in mystery."

BUY SOME PROPAGANDA
KSUBI MADE A GOOD OPPORTUNITY OUT OF MISS B PUBLIC COLLAPSE. PERSONALLY I THOUGHT THAT BRITNEY COULD SEND ALL POP CULTURE TO HELL AND GO PUNK...WHAT A MISSED OPPORTUNITY BRIT....WHAT A SHAME. BUT MY FRUSTRATION WITH BRITNEY IS NOT WHAT I WANT TO CARRY IN MY CHEST. ACTUALLY, LOVE THE IDEA OF FLAUNTING A HIT TO LEGACY OF REPUBLICANS! LET IT BE A POLITICAL SUMMER!
