Baby girl you know what I want, let me do it to ya, do it to ya...

Currently avoiding to read all the novels that are piling up from French (I mean, really, I can't help it if I fall asleep every two lines...). Anyways, decied to browse Fashionising instead and looked through the spring trends to see if I can find some inspiration. I am in dire need of some spicing up. Nothing particular jumped (same old trends under different categories) but I was really digging a lot of the Topshop stuff (which btw is coming to Toronto!). Also falling in love with maxi skirts more and more but afraid it might make me look stumpy and short. I am also MADLY in love with Chloe's SS11 collection because it combines all of my favourite things: nude/cream colours, sheer textures and amazing flow. Now onto finding a rich husband to satisfy my love.

This Not That

As part of an assignment for my painting class, we were asked to go see one of the films that were shown at the 8th Annual Reel Artists Festival at the TIFF Bell Lightbox. Initially, my choice for the film was solely based on timing. Given the crappy weather on Saturday, I had missed the film discussing China as growing empire for contemporary art. Instead, I was able to attend the Canadian premiere of This Not That: The Artist John Baldessari. I am immensely satisfied after this documentary. Everything about him; whether it was his technique or his philosophy were really interesting. I was glad that this assignment pushed me to get out there. I am definitely planning on attending more of these next year. I was somewhat disappointed I had missed the one about Ai Wei Wei and Wanda Koop.

My absolute favourite piece Baldessari piece:

What Is Painting, John Baldessari, 1966-68. Synthetic polymer paint on canvas
