Gen Art Movie Premiere.

On Friday night, K. beau, Kim, and I are going to a movie premiere! GenArt holds the 7 night event in various cities, and New York City's starts this week.

The film we are seeing is  Elektra Luxx. It looks pretty good, with some legit actors and actresses (Alicia Silverstone (Cher from Clueless) , Emmanuelle Chirqu ( Sloan from Entourage, Justin Kirk (Andy from Weeds). And I'm really excited.

Even better, the movie ticket for the premiere also includes a subscription to NYmag, plus entree and open bar for the after party. On Friday night it will be at Hudson Terrace. I'll be sure to take a million pictures!

Artist of the Moment: K.O Kid.

Duh. I'm biased.


Y'all. I am the proudest sister ever. My brother Kenneth has had two shows and has excellent turn out. Now, he already told me that he was working on his first mix tape (Don't we *love* the title?)  But,  Yesterday he called to tell me so freakin awesome news:

But It wasn't real til I saw it here

That's Right. K.O Kid is the 2nd act! (Randomly I also know the other two performers very well--- townies).

Unfortunately, I can't go to this show... It's a Thursday night and I can't swing it. But... if you haven't yet go check out this lil talent!



Album Art: Taylor Kinahan

Minimalist Movie Posters.

Jackie over at The 20 Something Society posted these gems earlier in the month and I had to share them as well. I have always loved how people keep re-creating these. I really liked the ones by Albert Exergian, and Nick Tassone (who did these) did a pretty nice job. It helps that I love horror flicks and 'The Shining' in one of my favorite movies. ever.

Minimalist TV Posters.

I love these minimalist posters created by Albert Exergian. 

He takes a central theme or concept from the shows and creates a simple but stunning poster. I especially love the True Blood one (which is coming back on in June...!!)

Bedroom Plans.

I've posted pictures of my New York Kitchen, Living room and Bathroom, but have omitted the bedrooms because they are not complete. We only spent 1 week in the city, and with my mom there with us we spent the time focused on the common areas of the apartment. For my room, I have been struggling to figure out exactly what I wanted to do with it. The challenges I am faced with are, 1) I like things very simple. clean and neutral. That doesn't leave a lot of space for anything too out-of-the-box. and 2) my room is has a peculiar shape, which allows for numerous windows and natural light (a plus) but not much space for a whole lot of furniture, which is fine, since I opted out of downsizing my bed.

Each of these hurdles seemed to solve themselves, however, which is nice. Being a minimalist, I don't care for much bedroom furniture, I don't fold much of my clothes, so adequate/efficient use of the closet is paramount (my clothes and closet will be a post all their own....). The pictures are all pulled from the

"apartment ideas" folder on my desktop. These are things I've seen on this blog that caught my eye, and are more or less the direction I am going with my room. I have decided against a for

mal bed, I'm going for a platform base with storage cabinets and drawers (in lieu of a dresser or nightstand). I love picture frame collage as an alternative to a headboard. Also, My room had this perfect window nook at the south end, which would house a little simple desk. It outlooks the fire escape, which E and I will use for outdoor plants/flowers, making for the perfect view.

My next big task is figuring out what to put on my walls. The apartment has huge tall walls and seemingly endless wall space. E and I combined our art from our previous apartments and it filled out the common areas pretty nicely. More on my wall space later.
