LOUISE BOURGEOIS 25 December 1911 - 31 May 2010

louise bourgeois in her studio in 1947.
she created some of the most moving art i have ever seen. a genius.

her iconic sculpture 'maman' at the tate modern

Mavis

this is mavis, lead singer of the coquettes. she has amazing style. she loves black and white stripes and marie turnor. sometimes she makes her own clothes. she hates that people call her lady gaga - she's looked like this for a long time. lady gaga stole her life.




mavis is holding a turquoise picnic from here

CHOCOLATE FOR BREAKFAST

this is what people in holland eat for breakfast - chocolate sprinkles on bread. they also eat anise candy powder on bread and cheese and of course butter with all the above. do they know how to enjoy breakfast or what?
