  books of the week continuing reading on & by andy warhol , and i love how gen-z he sounds - in one segment, he speaks about how people that don't work directly in the factory say he has an aura . in the "by" portion, it focuses on interviews with warhol or his own work. it seems he tried to "dumb it down" stating he "only reads books with pictures" and did not have a deeper meaning when focusing on pop!  or consumeristic art. brief mentions of valerie solanas (now eager to read her scum manifesto ), many mentions of getting shot (duhhh).  i guess he was ahead of his time, considering he was obsessed with tv and media, had a vibe/aura" to him, and was just kind of there - making "art" (question mark for some).  is the reincarnation of andy - those artsy fashion institute kids we see on tiktok - with cybersigil tattoos, wolf cuts etc...? or perhaps, the vibe is the art itself... the irony of pop art is inherent, since the pop artist ...

hispanic heritage style icons in honor of hispanic heritage month (sept 15 - oct 15), i figured i'd share some fave style icons that are of hispanic heritage. jenna ortega . she is of puerto rican and mexican descent. our gen z scream queen, and a lover of the art of film, she seems to be a very serious icon in the making - talented and stylish. she is seen here at the emmy's red carpet, wearing sarah burton's   givenchy f/w 2025  broken chandelier dress. many compared it to isabella rossellini in death becomes her . while i no longer have netflix, wednesday addams season 2 sounds super exciting this fall. penelope cruz .  javier bardem . i've been interested in watching some  pedro almodovar  films, and look forward to watching penelope cruz in her prime. bardem's statement at the emmy's boldly calling for a ceasefire in gaza was powerful - love the keffiyeh. these two just seem like an ideal power couple - a gene pool in the win. paloma elsesser . fa...

  books of the week read some magazines, including cleveland art  (to feel superior) and the british grazia  (for latest fashion and celeb gossip). started reading on & by andy warhol  - a book i initially bought for sib for her birthday - but i couldn't resist. i was unaware that most of gen z internet hates andy warhol. i think i get why? rip andy warhol - you would've loved tiktok. music of the week in honor of hispanic heritage month  (sept 15 - oct 15), i figured i'd share 10 recent faves from hispanic artists. i like it - cards b, bad bunny, j balvin confident - demi lovato who says - selena gomez genie in a bottle - christina aguilera me enamoré - shakira experiment on me - halsey tipo raro - mexican institute of sound miserly - balkan paradise orchestra i'm into you -  jlo, lil wayne despacito (remix) - luis fonsi, daddy yankee, justin bieber movies of the week celebrating 100 years of art deco appropriately, watched lady windermere's ...
