Janelle's recommendations

I went to LACMA over the weekend and came across a photograph. At first I thought, okay, this looks like something a three year old had drawn. A double, triple, quadruple take, it was actually a photograph of a paper and wire skeleton built to resemble a light bulb. The piece is called "Paper and Wire II". Sorry I couldn't get a picture of it..

There's also a cool fashion exhibit there right now (which you may enjoy). A lot of the designers they feature are from Japan and, to me, have seemingly influenced a lot of today's stuff. Well you know.. today's fashion is just copying revolutionary designers. Again, I wish I could post pictures.

Daniel Edwards is a controversial American sculptor that's known for somewhat satirical work such as Britney Spears giving birth, Hilary Clinton's breasts, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes's baby's poop. The sculpture of Clinton's breasts (not actual size of course) was, to him, supposed to remind the nation that Clinton, in fact, is a woman that still has sexual appeal (according to magazine Mother Jones).


Some good movies I saw for a dollar:
The Prestige. A lifelong, obsessive competition between two master magicians. Complete with soap opera-like events, real and fake magic, and the like. Starring Hugh Jackman, Christian Bale, Scarlett Johansson, David Bowie, Micheal Caine

Marie Antoinette. A loosely based movie on the French monarch directed by Sofia Coppola. I liked the costumes and the fact that they shot the movie in Versailles. 50-50 chance you'll like it. Starring Kirsten Dunst

Pan's Labryinth. A Spanish movie directed by Guillermo del Toro. Said to be "the best fantasy film since Wizard of Oz" (Ad in OC Weekly). Starring: Ivana Baquero
