fine art

I kept asking myself why I was turned off by the exhibition "Walking in My Mind" at Hayward Gallery ... and then Futurism at Tate Modern.... 2 years ago I enjoyed finding the meanings behind those art pieces in museums. Today I feel like I don't give a shit about what's on your mind about yourself or what your childhood was like, Nara. I feel that the in your face like Banksy's or Steven Meisel's fashion editorial are much more appreciable. Simple, sarcastic, easy to understand, about people, about the world, for people and they are the voice of what's going on now... getting tired of some kind of fine art.. feeling kinda weird. We don't need to look for meanings in every thing.. it's too complicated!!

some thoughts

Some thoughts from watching passerby at weekends.

Some kinds of heels can make some women look so ridiculous.

Oh I really love your smelling-good-intendedly-rugged look.

Worn out is cool.

Cool people simply dress basics - tee, jeans and Converse because they know they are cool enough that they need nothing more.

About a Boy

A small hero.

A boy: Nan, you don't like rats, do you?
Nan: No, I run away every time I see them.
A boy: I will get a snake. And when the rat comes, I will tell the snake "Go After It!!"
Another old lady asked the boy, "Why don't you like rats?"
"Because they bite!" replied the boy.

What I would miss much about London

What I would miss much about London.

- A World in 6 seats. There are times when I see an Asian, Black, White, Indian, Middle-eastern, English sitting next to each other on tube seats. United Colors of London.

- There is nothing wrong with wearing ragged, ripped clothes. Kate Moss started it. Ripped stockings are cool. And you have to rip it at the parties. A tee with a broken seem is fine... perhaps they does it by intention?

- Drink Don't Drive. Because I own no car. My feet are my Land Rover. A bus driver is my chauffeur.

- Seeing people carrying papers while walking in Portobello market on Sunday mornings.

- An appreciation of sunshine.

- Tesco's Bagged Baby Leaf Salad

- Salmon & Mushroom

- People dress out of this world to show off on streets at weekends.

- Sunbathe in Hyde park

- Spotting the Americans

- Good taste kids

- Do you need a bag?

- Uncles/Grandpas in jeans and Converse

- Grandmas wearing pink lipstick with fabulous earrings


11:11 / 22:22

Most of the time I have a look at iPhone screen for the time, it appears to me either 11:11 or 22:22. It's been like this over ten times for the past month. Nice.
