The Jonas Brothers 3-d concert premiere

Unfortunately I was in Hollywood yesterday walking right by this craaaazy premiere for the Jonas Brothers 3-d concert. It was a mad house, streets closed off, mess of traffic, hordes of teenage fans and their mothers screaming for these boys. Now being a little too old to be part of this fandom, I keep asking myself why are they so popular? Anyone have any insight? They do have great style though! Love the three piece suit, the rolled up blazer sleeves and the bow tie (seen below).

LACMA exhibition: BMW Art Cars



Another interesting exhibit going on at LACMA right now are the BMW art cars. It is on view though tomorrow. So go stop by if you are in the area. The four cars are on display between the two buildings- near the BCAM entrance. The car seen above was done by Andy Warhol and was actually a performance piece because Warhol painted live before camera. He was inspired by the movement of a racing car and tried to imply wind blowing across the surface with the blurring of the multiple colors together. Click "Read more" to see pictures and more info about the exhibit.


Frank Stella took the most literal approach to his art car. His work is inspired by the cars blue print and technical drawings.

Roy Lichtenstein's car is clearly inspired by his usual art style (made up of Benday dots and flat blocks of color). But he was also influenced by the distance and area in which the car would be traveling, which includes a bright yellow rising sun on the horizon.


Robert Rauchenberg's inspiration for the car was as if it was a mobile museum. He painted the hubcaps as if they were antique plates and he reproduced two famous works of art, Bronzino's "Portrait of a Young Man" and Ingres' "Le Grande Odalisque"

Oscars Fashion Part 2 (The Worst of the Worst)

While most people were impeccably dressed last night, there were some who crossed the Culturista line.



Amandya Seyfried in Valentino Haute Couture. I don't know what she was thinking, but I have no doubt that the Mean Girls would not let her sit at their lunch table.



I am a big Beyonce fan, but I don't know what happened here. This tacky print is blinding.



Little miss Miley in a Zuhair Mirad gown. 15 year olds should not be wearing evening gowns. Does anyone remeber Leanne Rimes dress at the Oscars in the mid 90s?



Mickey Rourke, The Wrestler was a movie. We thought you were playing a character?
