FRIDAY ART PICK: ELEANOR HARDWICK

Oh, if only we hadn’t wasted our youth sitting in social studies class...or smoking grass under the bleachers. Had we been more productive, we could have done a tenth of what photographer Eleanor Hardwick has accomplished at the tender age of 16! Reminiscent of Francesca Woodman’s haunted-ness, with a touch of vintage 1960’s appeal, Hardwick is on top of her game. She’s still figuring out college, and we’re still figuring out how she got so good, so early.

COOL LINK: YOUR FACE BLOG

Ah, the blog...such an all-inclusive mode of anonymity and literary freedom. With a swift jab of a key anyone can speak their mind. Becoming just as popular as magazines and easier than diaries, the effect the admission of the blog has had on the literary world is irrefutable. But with so many blogs to choose from and so many others that slide under the radar, bloggers have to wonder: “Is anyone reading mine? And if so who?” One blogger and illustrator, dissatisfied in believing real people don't read blogs, challenged his readers to renounce their anonymity and reveal their identities. Readers send a photo (face included) to Damien Weighill - the blog's creator - to be immortalized in the form of a caricature drawing. Your Face is a posted display of those die-hard Weighill fans as illustrations, living proof of the diversity and reality of blog readers. This website is a testament to connection. United we blog!

A TINY MACHINE MONDAY

Another post from our favorite Sci-Fi/Beauty Blogger and l'étoile cohort, A Tiny Machine. For more awesome posts check out www.atinymachine.blogspot.com

The Music Man

Any die hard Buffy the Vampire Slayer fan knows that Anthony Stewart Head (Rupert Giles) has a fantastic voice. In the huge cult episode "Once More, With Feeling," the dapper Brit sings circles around his co-stars. And in the season four episode "Where the Wild Things Are," the Scoobies stumble upon Giles as he performs Pete Townshend's "Behind Blue Eyes" in the Sunnydale coffee shop. The stage-trained actor also tackled the role of Dr. Frank-n-Furter (made famous by Tim Curry) in the London revival of The Rocky Horror Show. Sadly, Head's featured role as a ballad soloist in Tim Burton's Sweeney Todd was significantly scaled back when filming was cut short do to the illness of Johnny Depp's daughter. However, I found cold comfort in his next project Repo! The Genetic Opera.

Unfortunately, I first heard of this indie musical because it features the vocal stylings of Paris Hilton in a supporting role. But when I found out that Head would be playing the role of the Repo Man, I was sold. This dystopic rock opera also features Sarah Brightman (she of crazy opera singing and ex of Andrew Lloyd Webber fame) and the Goodfella himself, Paul Sorvino. Oh, and the girl from Spy Kids (Alexa Vega). And as for Paris, her costumes and makeup render her virtually unrecognizable. And I must admit, her participation in this future cult classic makes me loathe her slightly less. Slightly.
