Paper Rad- Trash Talkin’

Ever since I watched the Paper Rad “Trash Talkin’” movie almost a year ago, I’ve had this dorky yet rad version of “Jive Talkin’” stuck in my head. Now it can be stuck in your head too. You should totally watch that movie, by the way, unless you’re susceptible to seizures. A visit to their site will give you a clue as to why I make that disclaimer. There is an even more amazing video that goes along with the classic “Don’t Worry Be Happy” song, but there’s not a good copy of it on ye olde YouTube.

David Lynch & Isabella Rossellini by Helmut Newton

I love this photo which I can only assume was shot by Mr. Newton while Lynch was making Blue Velvet in 1986.

Misfit by The Bumblebeez

The costumes in this video are amazing. This was directed by the Glue Society, and the track itself was produced on a Nintendo DSi!

Peggy Moffitt, Leon Bing, Ellen Harth for Rudi Gernreich

This video is absolutely fantastic. 60’s fashion by Rudi Gernreich at its best.

I love how Peggy Moffitt still dresses like this. My husband and I were just discussing how it’s like “hey the 60’s were my era, and I know it… and I still want to live it.” She still looks glamourous and mod even though she’s 70 this year.

Ethel Smith on organ- 1944

Thanks to Chase who sent a link to this video this morning. How can you watch this and not be in a good mood?

Ascot Opening Race

One of my favourite scenes from a musical. Love the costumes by Cecil Beaton, the choreography, everything. I think I can say without a doubt that My Fair Lady is one movie that I know by heart.

Jean Pierre Jeunet for Chanel No. 5

I am loving this commercial shot by Jeunet for Chanel, with the ever adorable Audrey Tatou (soon to play Chanel in a biopic).  Il est tr?s romantique, n’est-ce pas?

Music Video: Marcel Dzama for Department of Eagles

Department of Eagles premiered their new Patrick Daughters and Marcel Dzama directed video for the single “No One Does It Like You” on March 25th at MoMA.  It’s like watching Dzama’s paintings come to life.  Check it out.  The song is good too!

Bodies of Water: Under the Pines music video

My good friends over at Bodies of Water just sent over a link to their music video for “Under the Pines” which was a long time in the making.  *Warning there is some fake violence and gore.*  Click on the image below for a link to the hi-res version of the video.  It’s been pulled, so the image will just take you to YouTube… sorry.
