I've been watching this movie all weekend! Dawn Wiener is my newest hero, seriously. I loved her clothes, charm, painful awkwardness and quirkiness. I suddenly want kitten sweaters, big hair accessories, a shimmering altar, neon green leggings, bare back floral dresses and a DIY club house in our backyard.
Last night we got Vietnamese sandwiches from Baoguette on St. Mark's Place and after that my friend, Nina Choe, gave me boxes upon boxes and bags within bags of her art supplies! My friends are seriously too amazing! It felt like Christmas in July.

Today I drew a girl with pizza and unicorn tattoos. I think something inside me wants pizza and unicorn tattoos too.
That's my best friend, Michelle on the left and me on the right! She lives in California but goes to school in South Carolina. Drinking bubble tea together is so fun, except when we make each other laugh TOO much. Choking on tapioca is no fun!

I went to PS 1 earlier this summer and enjoyed it very much! You should definitely stop by if you have the chance! It's absolutely free for New School students (: My favorite exhibition was by the brave Laurel Nakadate, entitled "Only the Lonely." This body of work is comprised of videos and photographs that encapsulate the social disconnect between the artist and the strangers she encountered in New Jersey. My favorite piece in her show was a video series entitled "Oops!" (shown above) which records Laurel with three random male strangers she met by chance on the street. She asked these three men to take her into their homes to record a reenactment of Britney Spears' "Oops! I Did It Again" music video. I told you she was BRAVE! The exhibit also shows pieces about exorcisms, pretend birthday parties, dancing on the beach for Britney Spears, crying everyday for a whole year and photographing each session, making love to invisible lovers in Japanese hotels, morning strip teases, and so much more awkwardness.
I also found Nancy Grossman's collection of leather headpieces quite intriguing, but mostly scary. I love scary things.
