Today’s things (sort of)
This is what mattered today. I wrote “sort of” because some of it I thought of before, and most of it only mattered to me.
First, my editor-at-large is now also art directing the “Eat Cake” party posters.
Concept: Kevin Ritchie and Candy Samples
Photography: Graydon Sheppard (I miss the Dragony)
and others…

If I was in Toronto the poster would be candy to my eyes on my walks down Queen St West.
The night of the party I suggest they play M.I.A.’s Paper Planes to my memory; the Laura at the party memory, when she used to wear gold leggings.
I don’t know anyone in Paris who likes M.I.A., I think she might be too “ghetto” for this crowd. “Bonafide hustler making my name…”

The summer of 1968. I am so lucky to be in Paris the summer of the 40th celebration of this historic year. The French take it, to say the least, very seriously.
I will advise you if I witness any commemorative riots.
I want to point out that that same year in Mexico thousands(unofficial), 300(sort of official),4 (government) students and workers were killed by the government in “La masacre de Tlatelolco”. Since the Olympics took place in Mexico city that year the government, with the help of the good neighbours from the north, took care of hiding it from pretty much everyone. Lucky Tiananmen Square, at least the world cared for them.
On a lighter note, Louis Garrel from “The Dreamers” and “Les Amants réguliers” -both movies are set in 1968- is oh la la la la…dreamy?

Blog I discovered recently and like: Dejour Magazine.
The Woody Allen suing Dov Churnet post is pretty funny.
An add for a internet/telephone/cable server I saw that made me think I would love to say to my friends in Toronto: “I have a Darty box in Paris”.

And finally, another Canadian in Paris who so many of my friends in Toronto know but I only see in posters in the Metro.
P.S. Comme des Garçons for H&M this November. AAAAHHHHHH!!!!!
Rei is such a good business woman.
