Oh dang oh dang oh dang.
So here’s the most interesting film print I inspected today: “The Cliche Family in Televisionland,” a self-parody made by an ad company in the sixties (as an in-joke, definitely not for consumer consumption.) Many of these things: STILL SO DEPRESSINGLY TRUE. From the sixties, I did not expect actual acknowledgment of the absence of people of color on TV! I also did not expect the boobs. (… warning for boobs.)
Becca, you find the best presents.
Metrospective! Yessss. Taken with Instagram, but my phone was being uncooperative, so here it is the old-fashioned way. Super, super worth it, if you’re in the Loop!
![I’ve finally written up my feelings on Patti Smith’s autobiography, Just Kids!
This book is a biography of a friendship, though, and the most interesting thing to me about Just Kids as a period piece is how the mechanics of friendship have and haven’t changed. Patti and Robert [Mapplethorpe] are always making each other little gifts; they express themselves to each other with a lot of tactile effort and physical creations. They take long train rides or spend hours at diners together; they write letters and make collages or poppets or jewelry. Today, for those ordinary adorations, we send links or texts or posts on a Facebook wall. I found Patti Smith because of a podcast, on iTunes, on an iPod.
Includes Beirut, nostalgia, starving artists and punk rock. Read on at M&W!
I left this out, but another thing that gets me about Just Kids is that I am the biggest sucker for people who show their love for each other by making art with, of or for their person. Which is something the internet does so, so well, and which I love to see happen.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m72poxoK8G1r3antmo1_500.jpg)

I can’t begin to tell you how much I want these custom dresses from Nudeedudee.
One of the coolest things that’s happened to me lately is being mistaken for the lady in this photo.
I’ll just… leave these here.

SHRIEKING AND FLAILING
Guys. Guys. Do you know how much this needs to happen? And how much I now need to stay in Chicago to see it happen? Ohmygod, The Uptown Theater, I have wanted to see inside it for years. And now I might.
