Damien Hirst, The Anatomy of an Angel, 2008. This reminds me a lot of Jason Freeny's cutaway sculptures of various pop culture characters such as Barbie, Lego man, and Mickey Mouse.
Speaking of Mickey Mouse, did you know that that Wayne Allwine, the voice of Mickey Mouse, was married to Russi Taylor, the voice of Minnie?
A clever money clip from Paul Stuart. If you get clip, then you MUST, MUST, MUST also get this.

This neat quaint home has a fascinating architectural history.
This is what I've deduced about you:
You have a great need for other people to like and admire you. You have a tendency to be critical of yourself. You have a great deal of unused capacity which you have not turned to your advantage. While you have some personality weaknesses, you are generally able to compensate for them. Your sexual adjustment has presented problems for you. Disciplined and self-controlled outside, you tend to be worrisome and insecure inside. At times you have serious doubts as to whether you have made the right decision or done the right thing. You prefer a certain amount of change and variety and become dissatisfied when hemmed in by restrictions and limitations. You pride yourself as an independent thinker and do not accept others' statements without satisfactory proof. You have found it unwise to be too frank in revealing yourself to others. At times you are extroverted, affable, sociable, while at other times you are introverted, wary, reserved. Some of your aspirations tend to be pretty unrealistic. Security is one of your major goals in life.
Actually this is the "unique" personality analysis that was given to every single one of his student by psychologist Bertram R. Forer in 1948. This is called the Barnum or Forer effect.

At SFMOMA currently is Tauba Auerbach’s "50/50 Floor" installation that resembles a massive QR code. As its name implies, the floor is created with 50% white and 50% black tiles which have been randomly distributed.
In Focus selected 50 photographs with each representing a state in the union. Above are the two photos selected for New York and Alaska (I'll let you decipher which photo belongs to which), the two places I consider "home."
Ran into the photographer Terry Richardson last weekend in Chelsea. I've seen countless celebrities over the past 9 years I've been living in New York City. I've only bothered two of them for a photo. Terry is one and Chris Rock was the other.
I told Terry I was a fan of his work and also expressed my condolences on the passing of his mother. He thanked me and said, "I like your shirt, man."

Amusing correction in a recent Vogue.
This brilliant statue by the Algerian artist Adel Abdessemed capturing the infamous moment when Zinedine Zidane's (my all time favorite soccer player) head-butted Marco Materazzi during the 2006 World Cup final was installed recently in front of the Centre Pompidou modern art museum in Paris.
I'm a big fan of Abdessemed: I previously chronicled here my visit to see his surreal airplane installation a few years back.
I think this photograph has been circulating around for a bit, but it's the first I've seen it (Yes, I've been that busy). Very sweet and powerful moment.

Love the juxtaposition with the portrait of Lincoln as well.
