The public is more familiar with bad design than good design.

It is, in effect, conditioned to prefer bad design, because that is what it lives with.

The new becomes threatening, the old reassuring.

POP Rocks for MOCA
Not so reserved Rose McGowan in scarlet Donna Karan
There she was, the second coming, Miuccia Prada, and not one paparazzo paid her notice. Even as she sauntered into her waiting town car, ear to ear smiles at 2 a.m., those goombas had their lens pointed at Wolfgang Puck. Certainly, chef Wolfie is a superstar in these parts. But come on, people.
Wolfgang's wife Gelila Assefa and I had a big laugh as the moment unfurled while we all awaited for our cars outside the outrageously fun Saturday night bash hosted by Pop Magazine's new editrix Dasha Zhukova, Ed and Danna Ruscha, Rodarte sisters Kate and Laura Mulleavy, Rosetta Getty and Chloe Sevigny at the new Prism Gallery in WeHo. Given the spot's long distance from downtown, it was incredible how many guests hightailed it over there following the major gala celebrating three decades of the Museum of Contemporary Art. Yes, that party with the highly touted performance
Chloe Sevigny (in Miu Miu) and pal rock on.
Atlanta de Cadenet with John Taylor and Gela Nash-Taylor (in McQueen)
featuring Lady Gaga and members of the Bolshoi Ballet (who scarcely made it into the country Friday due to visa issues). Even with the Damien HIrst-painted pink piano (which Larry Gagosian paid $450K for at auction that night!), a freewheeling survey at the afterparty leaned toward a less than enthusiastic response for the single-song "installation."
"I think expectations were sky high," mused Gela Nash-Taylor, herself teetering in some obscenely high Louboutins. The Pop party was another matter altogether.
The patio was wall-to-wall throughout the night: artists Takashi Murakami, Barry McGee, Raymond Pettibon and Tierney Gearon over here and there; Pharrel Williams finally cracking a smile when he joined Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale; James Franco pretending not to be himself, and hotelier Andre Balazs being his handsome self; Guy Ritchie striking a pose a second time after he cheekily decided he didn't like my first snapshot (oh the digital age and instant photo review!).
Pharrell Williams really is having the time of his life.
When Andy wasn't filling in the back stories on all these folks to our pals John Bruner from Hong Kong and Sheree Folkson, a recent London transplant flexing her directorial talents now stateside, there was plenty of bumping and bouncing thanks to Scott Oster's vinyl prowess.
We spent the last bit of the evening chatting with Shirley Manson about our hood, including the expansion of our favorite cheapy manicure salon. She looked so Golden-era glam in a tight-tulle Marchesa. I was channeling more Japanese goth in my Thomas Wylde silk robe and skull-speckled scarf-turned-obi.
Besides Signora Prada, a whole fashion pack descended like locusts on this fair city like it was Oscar night: Margherita Missoni, Peter Dundas, editors Carine Roitfeld, and Hamish Bowles, Hedi Slimane and Tom Ford. The new film director actually had come, not from the MOCA event, but from honoring Lauren Bacall at the Academy of Motion Pictures And Sciences' 2009 Governors Awards Gala. Like us, he arrived before the storm. He proceeded to regale me with some crazy tale about a gun--totally from a cowboy Southwest perspective--and my cousin Jerry Apodaca during their high school years in New Mexico. I decided I needed a stiff cocktail after that one.

The program is mind-blowing. Accompanying the key logger is a superior monitoring function - everything and anything that happens on the machine is captured via snapshots. film izle There's also web page filters and application blocks (example: instant messenger), but the most convenient function is the capacity to be sent regular email updates if you are not home. Very valuable to hard working moms and dads.

The College Board reported Monday that both public college costs and private college costs are rising faster than inflation. Rising costs have also outstripped increases in financial aid, leaving students paying more than ever before.

A new report reveals that the tests states use to determine reading and math proficiency under No Child Left Behind are giving people a false impression in regards to the success of NCLB. Many states have dumbed tests down to increase proficiency rates, and created disparities that insure at least two-thirds of American children attend schools with low expectations.

Some schools ban cell phones and junk food, while others prohibit recess tag. But the latest ban sweeping the nation - a ban on hugs, high-fives, hand holding, and other forms of PDA - has students, and some parents, frustrated and angry.

snapshot of the moment
Love this snapshot of Nina Clemente, proof that the girl chefs in heels! In this case, Calleen Cordero's soles, in celebration and regard to her host, for whom she was cooking up a storm that night from the back of a mobile kitchen. A week later, Andy and I practically licked our plates after the delicious three-course meal she fixed us at her Hollywood bungalow.
