VANESSA MINNILLO
you rule VANESSA! CELEBRITIES who ADOPT and don't SUPPORT PUPPY MILLS are few and far between. a picture like this can help change the world of ADOPTION for ANIMALS. please EDUCATE yourself and take a SHELTER STROLL. see all the INNOCENT animals just waiting to be RESCUED. PUPPY MILLS and BREEDERS are the EPIDEMIC. do research. LOOK at PUPPY MILLS online. look at what the MOMMA pup ends up looking and feeling like. WITHOUT DEMAND there will be NO SUPPLY. please ADOPT,DON'T SHOP!!!!!
P.S. ALL BREEDING IS WRONG in my OPINION. i challenge anyone to argue with me.when 800 healthy and beautiful pups die a week in this city..don't even get me started
COACHELLA HEEL?
if you are going to be BRAVE and rock a HEEL at nite for a FUN COACHELLA POOL PARTY...grab a PAIR of BALENCIAGA brown and pink woven heels. they would work well with a BRIGHT dress BEACH HAIR. add some thin GOLD BANGLES, and you have a sexy NITE TIME look for your VACAY. i also see these with shorts and a BOYFRIEND BLAZER when you're out and about in LA or NY. hapyy hunting. available at BARNEYS AND NEIMANS, as well as KIRNA ZABETE, NYC
SHORT SHORTS
with COACHELLA approaching i can't help thinking about tan GAMS in SHORT SHORTS. VOGUE ITALIA did this right, take a peak. IF HEADING TO THE SPRINGS this weekend, throw on a pair on denim shorts with a crisp white shirt and NUDE GLADIATORS, a wide brimmed HAT for good measure and you are ready to ROCK! SAFE TRAVELS

TAR STAR
MATTIA BIAGI was born in Italy in 1974, and is a graduate of the I.R.F.A, an Italian art and design school. In 2001, Biagi moved from Italy to Los Angeles, California. Upon his arrival, he was inspired by one of the city's most famous landmarks, the La Brea Tar Pits, which would provide the inspiration for Biagi's current body of work. As it happened, the prehistoric site elicited a visceral reaction from the artist. Entranced by the texture of the mysterious substance, he also was immediately intrigued by the dichotomy he had uncovered: a natural, primordial element existing within a modern, urban environment was a transcendent concept to the artist. Clearly, Biagi is drawn to tar for simple and tangible reasons as well as complex, conceptual ones. Initially, he gravitated to the medium for its aesthetic qualities: the depth and dimension of its blackness; its richness of texture. Yet, as he began to work with the substance, he discovered it was the medium's unpredictability that mesmerized him. Biagi appreciated that while the material resists control, it can be coaxed and manipulated, the resulting drips and imperfections creating a cocoon-like "second skin" which imparts depth to whatever it comes in contact with. Biagi believes that the tar has such a strong physicality, anything it touches is forever transformed. The artist's first project involving tar was focused on children's Teddy bears. The combination of such a powerful and dramatic medium used to encase the ultimate symbol of childhood innocence resulted in a loaded and charged image, which would come to serve as the artist's hallmark. The body of work that has followed builds on the use of tar to embody the juncture of nature and the modern environment—and what results when those two, often divergent, entities collide. Importantly, the artist's work stimulates the viewer to consider objects, in a wholly new light. The use of tar stirs the viewer in a way that may be disturbing and may evoke spontaneous reaction. In fact, it is Biagi's ability to infiltrate the psyche with his use of tar and its applications that generates an otherworldly aura around his work.
