TGIF [weekend suggestions*a little note from me to you]

1. be like TK and cook* the weekend forecast calls for rain in the tri-state area, so find your footy pajamas, a good book, compile a rainy day soundtrack (i suggest anything by keane, rogue wave or matmos) and cook something yummy. bubbly if possible. anything with gourds would be good too. it’s fall (ok, maybe it’s closer to winter)- revel in the tastes that the season has to offer.

2. be your own moma* with the moma opening to ridiculous crowds and even more ridiculous prices this weekend, screw the hoity toity design elite and be your own karim rashid (or, if you loathe him like i do, be your own lorena barrezueta or erwan bouroullec) and pick up a copy of ready-made magazine and choose an activity. even though we all celebrate people like charles, ray, verner and eero, everyone knows that there’s a fabulous designer lurking just beneath all our surfaces…

3. get to know your neighbors*no matter where you live, there’s local talent all around you just dying to get discovered. if you’re in brooklyn stop by kcdc for the sticker show, or the future perfect for well, anything. if you’re in manhattan, check out the goods at sublime american design and find yourself a great new designer to oggle. if you’re somewhere else? well, check your local arts paper and see who’s doing what around you.

have a great weekend you guys….see you monday!

xoxo,
