New Order, Retro, Art Direction by Peter Saville for Saville Associates, Photography by Nick Knight

Before Justin Timberlake's Future Sex/Love Sounds, before Helmut Lang's art à la deconstructed disco ball, was New Order's Retro.

Here they have an impressive library of album artwork designed by Mr. Peter Saville.

Chupa Chups shoulders Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2009 4ever

Noone really eats Chupa Chups in the states, huh? I used to love them as a kid in Korea. My favorite was the strawberry and cream duo.

I'm going to Seoul in 3 days. I haven't been to my home country in over 6 years, and my mom keeps warning me that I'll be a complete country bumpkin when I get there, lost in the whir of streets lined with intimidating highrises and fast-paced shoulder-bumping people. They don't even say, 'excuse me,' she says. I reply to her that I'll bump their shoulder back with a glare, and my mom ends this tiff with a simple comeback: You're so brittle, you're going to break into two even before you try. Thanks mom, I appreciate you raising me a strong woman you can believe in.

Y's by YY Campaign by Kayt Jones

'Stead of flipping the bird, why don't we do the hand gun? I think I'm into it.

I like this campaign a lot because it's cinematic and the tomboyish attitude is so great. On top of that this girl reminds me of Anna Karina.

I like Daul K's new hair. We all love us some bizarrely unique Korean models! Speaking of bizarrely unique, I still want to shave my eyebrows ...

The Pearl Sisters, music from Korea in the 70s

Hooray for hot summers! Hot summertime means time for vintage garage music from the 60s and 70s. My mom used to love the Pearl Sisters. For once I agree with her choosing. I wish my parents kept their old Korean records.

Yesterday I went to China Town in Los Angeles for the Fuck Yeah! Fest. It was kind of a mess! The queue to pick up/purchase tickets were long, the lineup was, though great at times, kind of painful to bear in blocks of hours, and I got cold when the sun went down. So my friends and I left before we got to see any of the headliners we'd paid to see. Whatever, I'm so over festivals. We went and got some Pinkberry froyo instead. That stuff is so good. Yumyum in my tumz.

O HAI again Pretzel. I see that you're becoming quite the hot spot for the ladies.

XIV by Nick Haymes

I like photographs that photographers take of their children. They're so endearing, pure and innocent. XIV is a photo series by Haymes of his seven-year-old step-son. I guess it's a few years old, but I just found it online today.

You can look through Hayme's work via Bespoke Gallery's online archive here and here. He also has a book, Between Dog and Wolf, published by Nieves.

George Michael - Freedom '90

Memorial Day Weekend. I had quite a lovely weekend in LA with my friend Pedro. Today we headed out to Malibu to visit Valeska at her amazing amazing amazing house for bbq. And this song was stuck in my head the whole time. LINDA, NAOMI, CHRISTY, CINDY, modelmania! Funkyass beats, too. George definitely knew how to make the best videos.

Since I haven't gotten a paycheck since mid February I am living a quiet and frugal life...kind of. Right now I'm shredding and tearing my old blue jeans. I've been working on it for about 3 hours while watching random youtube videos and bidding on a denim jacket on eBay. I also was perusing through the bookmarked eBay sellers' goods, when I came across this gem from luxNdesire clothing still on bid (I first found it in February while searching for Margiela airbrushed unicorn clutch, which has sadly been sold).

Michael Jackson poster(?) from the '80s, starting bid $20.00

No further explanation necessary. I want it.
