material concern

and so of course there’s all these cute pictures of Greta Gerwig wearing Band of Outsiders on the internet.

work and more about behind the shoots and his recent-ish book about west coast hip hop here.

my former assistant and my friend, Paley, shot last week’s shows for Vice. They posted her photos, as well as her email explaining her state of mind at the time:)

She’s killing it, guys, keep your eye on her.

I was in Peru when my piece on Highland Park shopping went live on Racked. See the whole piece here.

lots of articles, rebuttals, retorts and concessions last week regarding Richard Florida’s creative class that was supposed to rise all boats. Florida said in the Atlantic: “On close inspection, talent clustering provides little in the way of trickle-down benefits.”

Sociologists can be wrong, but this one in particular had a consulting company making a lot of money off of hard-hit cities hoping to use Florida’s theory to woo creative types (and the $$$ that was supposed to follow).

Joel Kotkin takes aim on Florida in the Daily Beast here. And then Florida has a good rebuttal here.

It’s all good content: and it’s fun to see sociology take the front stage:)

Anna Domino‘s super relaxed synth pop songs. Bummed I missed her show at Wombleton on Valentine’s Day, but, I ummm…had a date

Lovely lady Laurel’s literal line Welcome Companions is mentioned in Elle’s accessory round up. If you haven’t seen it yet: she does a whimsical extrapolation on a part time picnic that you could wear year round: seen through larger-than life accessories: super fun and funny: but the quality means your toast purse will become a mainstay.

my friend Isis and her Source Family are the subject of this documentary, which premieres in May, and then will have a limited run at Cinefamily.

Isaac is in the Samuel Freeman group show that opens this Saturday from 6-9pm.  See what he’s been up to lately here.
