kara walker at moma in nyc. ahhh, so much perfectly cut paper!
lonely day in new york means lots of wandering and lots of walking.

golden.

whoever uploaded this onto ye olde co-op computer years ago is my best friend. this is a great compilation. and now my soundtrack for the next two weeks. diane, joanna, jana, josephine, scout--- all my favorite ladies and more.
golden apples of the sun, indeed.

this is how we do it.

graduation party pictures!
so many friends and family... and FOOD!
hooray, adulthood!

it's not a party with the nguyen family unless the cops come too. and cousins hit on friends. and friends hit on aunts. and karaoke. and hot peppers. and... awkward.

parties starring yourself are major ego boosts. and also major look-at-me-times. i think i can only handle one such kim party once every four years.

pink macaroons and a million balloons...

"i want a party with rooms full of laughter...
ten thousand tons of ice crrrrream.
and if i don't get the things i am after..."

... i'm going to settle for a chocolate fountain and a houseful of family and my dearest friends?

don't care how, I WANT IT NOW!

well, i got it. pictures of the party to follow soon.

kiki smith, untitled.

at the grounds for sculpture in new jersey.
yes, it's true, new jersey has things other than super tan bimbos and the "situation".

grounds for sculpture is amazing, one day i'll post more pictures when i'm not so lazy...

ladies' night art show!
