O Leaozinho, by Caetano Veloso, performed by the beautiful Zach Condon of Beirut. About a golden lion/boy on a beach in Brazil. Makes you want to be there.

Mona Loves…Jeremy Scott & ASAP Rocky
If you don’t know, Jeremy Scott is an awesome designer…and ASAP Rocky is the trillest hip hop artist right now who reps Martin Margiela and Rick Owens in every other song. Watch and ENJOY.

“To write a true map of today’s girl land, you need to see not just the vulnerability of girlhood but its performative audacity, the ways that wounds, even sexual ones, can add up to more than pain.”
From Meghan O’Rourke’s review of Caitlin Flanagan’s Girl Land. In New York Magazine, here: http://nymag.com/arts/books/reviews/caitlin-flanagan-2012-1/

I love to speak with Leonard
He’s a sportsman and a shepherd
He’s a lazy bastard
Living in a suit
But he does say what I tell him
Even though it isn’t welcome
He will never have the freedom
To refuse
He will speak these words of wisdom
Like a sage, a man of vision
Though he knows he’s really nothing
But the brief elaboration of a tube
Going home
Without my sorrow
Going home
Sometime tomorrow
To where it’s better
Than before
Going home
Without my burden
Going home
Behind the curtain
Going home
Without the costume
That I wore
He wants to write a love song
An anthem of forgiving
A manual for living with defeat
A cry above the suffering
A sacrifice recovering
But that isn’t what I want him to complete
I want to make him certain
That he doesn’t have a burden
That he doesn’t need a vision
That he only has permission
To do my instant bidding
That is to SAY what I have told him
To repeat
Going home
Without my sorrow
Going home
Sometime tomorrow
Going home
To where it’s better
Than before
Going home
Without my burden
Going home
Behind the curtain
Going home
Without the costume
That I wore
I love to speak with Leonard
He’s a sportsman and a shepherd
He’s a lazy bastard
Living in a suit
The question of whether fashion should be protected by copyright is an interesting one, but Louboutin suing YSL over red soles is a bit much. Louboutin did not invent the red sole, I’ve heard it was a French aristocrat thing. And remember Dries’ red heels one season? Someone said red heels originally signified that that the woman was a witch.
