The movie is predictable, but makes up for it's lack of originality with loads of charm, ass kicking roller derby chicks, an <a href="http://www.videodetective.com/movie_trailer/WHIP_IT-_FOOD_FIGHT/trailer/P00630419.htm">all-girl food fight</a>, and a great soundtrack. I particularly loved this dreamy song by Swedish troubadour <a href="http://www.jenslekman.com/">Jens Lekman</a> that played during Ellen Page's "losing her virginity in the pool" scene. The humorous/romantic <a href="http://www.lyricstime.com/jens-lekman-your-arms-around-me-lyrics.html">lyrics</a> are sexually ambiguous, involve avocado, blood, and a trip to the E.R. I hear a good dollop of <a href="http://theruralmodernist.blogspot.com/2009/02/decorating-with-morrissey.html">Morrissey</a>, a hearty scoop of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Richman">Jonathan Richman</a>, a few tablespoons of <a href="http://www.billybragg.co.uk/">Billy Bragg</a>, and a soupçon of <a href="http://www.damiendempsey.com/">Damien Dempsey</a> in Mr. Lekmans winsome warbling.

I know it's been some time since I offered my two cents on design and home decor. If you hadn't heard, I picked up and moved far, far away - to San Francisco. You know the place....gays, hippies, gays, fashion backwards people, gays, Golden Gate Bridge, gays, etc.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I thought I would check in and drop a few tips and treats to hold you over, as well as a few things I am obsessed with.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;">As the holidays loom on the horizon, I thought it would be a great time to plant the design seeds for the upcoming season. </span>Let's start with Thanksgiving. I think the ultimate tablescape for this holiday is the well-curated but totally mismatched place settings. Picture a crisp linen tablecloth with different, but similar place settings, splashes of color in various settings, and different shapes and sizes used in the same amounts across the table. Here's how: </span></div><div><ul><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">First, start with a solid color tablecloth, and gather solid (tone on tone is fine) color dinner plates. These do not necessarily need to match in style, but they should match in color and size. I prefer an all-white dinner plate as a base. </span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">On top of those, place your favorite collected salad plates (from eBay, from yard sales or from my favorite, </span><a href="http://www.fishseddy.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Fishs Eddy</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> (great place to start your collection). They don't have to match anything but the tablecloth or dinner plate color, and should not match each other. The commonality is the size. </span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Do this again with a smaller bread plate. Take inspiration from your collections and your taste; if you are into 50s retro, add some jadeite or maybe a few pieces of of Fiestaware. If you're more of a modernist, go for some graphic pieces or geometric shapes. The idea is to personalize it, yet vary it a bit. </span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">From the plates, you now have a color palette defined, and use that to choose napkins. As most napkins are the same size, you only need to choose colors and prints. This is a great place for a brighter color pulled from one of the plates or even a stripe that corresponds. Cohesively, the napkins should tell the color story, and you will know how many different ones to use. The idea is to look simple, not overly chaotic. </span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Top the setting off with glassware (flatware should be matching) - one water glass and one wine glass. If your palette can handle colored glass, sprinkle a few around the table. Ideally, you will make one of the glasses cohesive throughout, and the other can be variations of the same. Perhaps go for the French look of simple tumblers for wine and vary your water glasses. </span></li>

</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I have also recently worked with a few great brands and stores that I think I should share with you:</span></div><ul class="MailOutline"><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">For nursery and children's rooms, I love </span><a href="http://ducducnyc.com/index.php"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Duc Duc</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">.

While I have been taking time to immerse myself in my new city and my new pursuits, I still want to reach out to my old kinfolk as often as possible and keep in touch. One thing that my friends know I love is music. I love to discover it and share it whenever I can. So, I have been making downloadable playlists that I send around to my little network every few weeks, and I thought it was time to share some of my recent favorites with you all. Each playlist contains new music discoveries, rare gems you forgot about. one hit wonders from years past, and a few WTF was that??? moments. A true eclectic collection that is very me. I think you may find yourselves in some of these as well. Here are a few, in order from most recent backwards. I name them all after me, and hey even have artwork!!!</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

This is Tom. He runs my favorite barn sale right down the street from the studio. It's tucked away right behind the Stone Ridge post office and it's packed to the rafters will well-edited, well-priced, unusual finds. I swear half of my house has come out of this barn. He doesn't have a website, but he generally throws the barn doors open on most Saturdays (when the weather cooperates) and occasional Sundays, too. Next time you stop by the studio, take a stroll down the brand spanking new bluestone sidewalks (that's big news in these parts) and check out his wares. Well, whatever happens to be left over after I've been there.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_bXbN7UOh87s/TI-h9_dH6FI/AAAAAAAACCs/zu98H9VOftM/s1600/IMG_0650.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_bXbN7UOh87s/TI-g_Xkt0BI/AAAAAAAACCM/OA7SNl41JMg/s1600/IMG_0648.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_bXbN7UOh87s/TI-g_Xkt0BI/AAAAAAAACCM/OA7SNl41JMg/s400/IMG_0648.JPG" width="400" /></span></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bXbN7UOh87s/TI-iBbKHL2I/AAAAAAAACDE/2YICic9AGNI/s1600/IMG_0657.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bXbN7UOh87s/TI-iBbKHL2I/AAAAAAAACDE/2YICic9AGNI/s400/IMG_0657.jpg" width="400" /></span></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bXbN7UOh87s/TI-iAjeXnAI/AAAAAAAACC8/2XisjPB60No/s1600/IMG_0652.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bXbN7UOh87s/TI-iAjeXnAI/AAAAAAAACC8/2XisjPB60No/s400/IMG_0652.jpg" width="400" /></span></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bXbN7UOh87s/TI-itHogHlI/AAAAAAAACDc/3wZt2sM42Bk/s1600/IMG_0663.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bXbN7UOh87s/TI-itHogHlI/AAAAAAAACDc/3wZt2sM42Bk/s400/IMG_0663.jpg" width="400" /></span></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bXbN7UOh87s/TI-iqirbhPI/AAAAAAAACDM/EUjP3-q8BdQ/s1600/IMG_0658.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bXbN7UOh87s/TI-iqirbhPI/AAAAAAAACDM/EUjP3-q8BdQ/s400/IMG_0658.jpg" width="400" /></span></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_bXbN7UOh87s/TI-iuSA9mpI/AAAAAAAACDk/2P3NNrChb-U/s1600/IMG_0664.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bXbN7UOh87s/TI-mQAD0jBI/AAAAAAAACDs/8x3CSCjH3PA/s1600/IMG_0664.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bXbN7UOh87s/TI-mQAD0jBI/AAAAAAAACDs/8x3CSCjH3PA/s400/IMG_0664.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>Doodle Whorehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10254673285085203545noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8131523454272913385.post-24073598198902242782010-09-14T12:07:00.002-04:002010-09-14T12:10:43.656-04:00GILT Goodies on sale today<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><img border="0" height="144" src="http://cdn1.gilt.com/images/share/uploads/0000/0000/4266/42669602/orig.jpg?51_1283894558" width="400" /></span><br />

I'm still here. Really. Yeah, I've been a rotten blogger, but I've been super busy. I recently debuted my line of <a href="http://www.jasonomalley.com/gallery.html?gallery=Rural%20Modernist%20Ceramics%20by%20Jason%20O%27Malley">Rural Modernist Ceramics</a> at <a href="http://www.kmoca.org/">KMOCA</a> gallery in Kingston, New York and I've also launched a custom portrait business. I'll be sharing all of the gory details very soon. Anyway, I just wanted to post a pic of our modern easter basket filled with hand dyed eggs. Ok, it's actually a <a href="http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/cellphone/bf38/?cpg=froogle">Grassy Lawn Charging Station</a>, but it looks way cooler than a crappy pastel toned wicker basket from the drug store. Since we're on the topic, let's take a moment to remember Edith Massey's indelible portrayal of The Egg Lady in Pink Flamingos: </div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre; "><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/og_85XJTOac&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/og_85XJTOac&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object></span></div></div>Doodle Whorehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10254673285085203545noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8131523454272913385.post-77075797952414215872010-02-11T15:36:00.002-05:002010-02-11T15:43:34.889-05:00RIP, Alexander McQueen. So sad.<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">His last show totally blew my mind.

I was so looking forward to what he would dream up next. What a tragedy.
