One thing about the Rodarte sisters’ maverick status in the fashion world is that it grants them total freedom, a sort of unfuckwithableness that allows them to go as high or low as they want.

(via NPR)”At the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, museum goers can dive into the art — literally. They can actually swim in it. The pool is tucked into a dark, back corner of the museum. It’s 3 feet deep, the size of a mini-lap pool, and it’s ringed with small blue lights. An eerie [...]

Hodson separates her journey into tidy sections shorter than the time it takes a counselor to say [...]
Hobo FM is an awesome independent radio station based in Eagle Rock, CA. Their first events were DJ nights held at a strip club, but this promises to be a very special evening indeed.
