The ongoing search for the perfect pair of pants for my friend Jeff has been exhaustively chronicled here on this blog. Could the search be over? Jeff, what do you think of this one easy piece? Bonus: Only $45 for these difficult economic times.
"Last summer, master maquillage artist Peter Phillips drew on Picasso-esque “eyes” on model Sara Blomqvist, who’s all chained up in Chanel."
This is also a good technique for giving the appearance of paying attention in class while taking a cat nap. #ProTip

I need to save this photo because otherwise my future kids won't believe me when I tell them that overalls were once considered thug.

Vanity Fair interviews John Richardson on Picasso's sex drive & appeal to women.
Why was Picasso so irresistible to women? Obviously his reputation as one of the world’s greatest artists helped, but was there more to it than that?
Although he was quite short, he had amazing charisma. Above all, he had what Spaniards call the "mirada fuerte," the strong gaze, which, as Picasso said, enables a man to have a girl with his eyes. Picasso had fantastic eyes: enormous eyes that could indicate interest, rage, love, desire, impatience—whatever.
Memo to self: Get some mirada fuerte stat.

Someone recently painted this Soviet era monument in Bulgaria to resemble various pop culture characters then wrote what translates to "Moving with the times" below it.

Banksy is sponsoring free admission on Mondays at LA's MOCA for the duration of "Art in the Streets," which is "the first major U.S. museum survey of graffiti and street art."

McSweeney's Famous Opening Lines from Novels Updated for the Modern Age.
As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams, he found himself transformed into a giant insect. Not literally, obviously. He was playing an MMORPG and this was his avatar.
+10 hilarity.

Kostya Loginov and Vlad Yakovlev created this brilliant interactive website that allows a user to play with and alter Piet Mondrian's "Composition with Yellow, Red, Black, Blue and Grey."
It allows everybody deconstruct the original painting and form it again in whatever he or she wants. Lines are shiftable (just drag it with your mouse) and colours changeable (click on it). Texture of the painting was preserved for authentic look. One can play with composition, forms and colours, alter the harmony of the piece or even destroy it and compose something pictorial.
