Joy the Baker — I feel like I’m grasping tight to the things around me these days. I’m probably the first to shrug off the change of season, the change of moving cities, and the change of traveling a ton as no big deal…. but it all adds up to matter and I have to admit I feel a little crazy in the brain. This season I’ve started a new workout routine. I’ve also taken out my Tender cookbook (a Spring go-to) and am daydreaming my way through Donald Link’s Down South cookbook in an effort to acclimate myself to my new city and surroundings. Here are a few more Spring flings I’m into these days. 1•• I am very pale. 2•• I absolutely LOVE this Ellovi Body Butter. 3•• I’m thinking of sporting short fingernails with Blue Orchid Nail Polish as the weather gets warmer. 4•• Pale nude lipstick like this Pearl Lipstick blends with any outfit and is less noticeable when I forget I have lipstick on and smear the whole deal all over my face. 5•• When I was a teenager my mom told me that I had a ‘hat face’. I love you!

Phoo-d Surreal Art Update: Glass Garage Gallery "QUANTUM SHOT" #739Link - article by Avi Abrams "Artists that paint like Renaissance masters on drugs" ("The Machine in the Garden" series, by Jerry Wayne Downs; all images copyright Glass Garage Gallery, used by permission) West Hollywood’s Glass Garage Gallery is a bit of a contrary oddball. ("Hotel de Ville" and "The Refinery" by Arnau Alemany) "It used to be that artists suffered for their work. “The gallery is sort of a response to trends that have tyrannized contemporary art in the last 60 years,” says the outspoken Lien. Lien studied semiotics at Brown, worked as a litigator for ten years, and is clearly impassioned about the artists the gallery represents. ("Masks" series by Robert Peluce) “‘Beauty’ is totally a four-letter word these days. ("The Mirror" and "The Wishbone" by Steven Kenny) It’s as if artists think that if it’s visually hideous and utterly devoid of any odors of ‘technique’ or ‘effort’, it must be art.
