About the Author I was born in L.A. but am now in Decatur, GA and will be attending the University of Baltimore in the fall for the ubiquitous M.F.A. I'm excited to show people my work. I have a poem in the current L.A. Review, and forthcoming from Main Street Rag. Also, there are three posted on Madswirl.com. Hipster When it bubbles up out of frenzy – as if assured by something – that’s the best for him. The weight that was there has given away what it knows, and surrendered only to what will last. After all, we're all having a breakdown . . . ooooooh how it surprises, when it shows its grace! Undeniably, inexplicably, even with all that he can attest to! But there are other witnesses who have seen it, too. Neither tragic nor heroic – it is honest, like the way a song speaks to you, or how someone exists in their environment. It’s also romantic as hell, full of love, and to ignore that much would be a gross injustice. Growth, blessed life, shall not go unnoticed. Aestheticall

Blazing Heat Monokus ~ swimming into the shade its shadow follows ~~~ they shriek with seagulls wading in a rock pool A PHOTO OF YOU TAKEN IN MOUNTAINS, SOMEWHERE you, snowflakebearded you smile there forever in stainless steel light beneath an impossibly-blue sky your eyes follow me and i move just off-frame hoping you will step out of the paper and kiss me, sometimes in this tranquil room, i wonder if a morning will come when i dont think about you as memories are all i have to hold and when absence inhabits me, becoming too much to

You might know this house built in Santiago de Chile in 2007 by FAR Frohn & Rojas Office (Santiago, Mexico, Köln). I guess a lot of people like it a lot (actually I do) but no matter how much we like it, this architecture office just turned crazy ! In fact, they just created a website called yourwallhouse.net which proposes to sell you three different sets of drawings in order to have exactly the same house constructed any where in the world. As written: 01 Schematic drawing set This schematic drawing set contains nine 11”x17” / A3 drawings as pdf files. This includes the actual floor plans, foundation plan, roof plan and sections used by our office in the Schematic Design phase. Due to differences in building codes and other varying local legal constraints, these plans may have to be modified to meet – amongst other aspects - the local building design requirements for wind loads, snow loads, bearing soil pressures and seismic requirements in your area. Under international copyrigh

Hussein Chalayan last 2008 collection contains a set of laser dress as impressive as usual (see older post ). Red lasers are rotating and reflecting on cristals. Chalayan is still the only designer I know who is constantly looking for linking fashion and technology and therefore, to some extent to mix human body and technology (if someone knows another one, comments are open !). Here is a video where you can see the entire collection but if you are only interested by these technologies dress go directly to the 8th minute. Here is another one with a making of

After visiting Le Havre, I felt obliged to go to Le Raincy (Seine Saint Denis - Paris' suburbs) in order to see Notre Dame de la Consolation Church also designed by Auguste Perret and his two brothers Gustave and Claude, fifty years before the incredible Saint Claude Church in Le Havre (see older post ). In fact Notre Dame du Raincy was constructed in 1922 in order to represent an homage to La Marne Battle's (1916) casualties. It was by then the first religious building designed by Perret's office and in order to make the construction happen, the office even had to put some money into it ! Thanks to the slightly conic posts, facades are not structural and are allowed to receive Marguerite Huré's (same than in Saint Joseph) stained glass. Ceiling crowns are very unusal and structuraly rational. It definitely worth it to cover the 20km between Paris and Le Raincy to visit it !
