Vancouver-based designer Seth Aaron Henderson rocked it out and was named the winner of season seven on the latest "Project Runway" finale. With his edgy design sense and youthful vibe, Henderson was a strong contender all season, displaying superb tailoring skills, modern fashion sensibility and remarkable speed.
Announcing that his collection was an homage to 1940s German and Russian military looks, Henderson sent strong, bold looks down the runway...graphic zig-zags, bold lines, confident houndstooth and plaids tucked, folded, quilted, layered and belted into a cohesive collection of statement dresses, coats, and skinny pants. Super yum!
Below, the Fall 2010 runway collection by Seth Aaron Henderson...

lllustrations by MikieP...
SUPER fun and whimsical illustrations inspired by childhood treasures and super heros. "I remember having SuperMan PJs and cutting the feet off of them so I could run around the house. Then laying in front of a fan acting as if I were ssssoarrrring through the air on the way to my next caper. What fun thinking I could fly!" http://Mikiep.etsy.com

Hollis Hart, painter and illustrator... We are excited to show the wonderfully whimsical work of Hollis Hart, who is new to our gallery. "Something that interests me a lot is what happens when you put a utensil of any sort into the hands of a kid. Their only goal is to put down what they see in their mind’s eye." www.artbyhollishart.com

Quite the visual feast if yer into lots of makeup, half naked girls, cat fights, fashionable inmates and Gaga herself, which we ARE...
Lady Gaga recently unveiled her new video for "Telephone", her lastest collaboration with Beyonce featuring cameos from Tyrese Gibson, Jai Rodriguez and the “Pussy Wagon”, which was loaned out by "Kill Bill" director Quentin Tarantino. Tarantino was the inspiration behind the new video, but the "Telephone" video itself was directed by Jonas Akerlund...Enjoy!
Broken Bells is an American indie rock band featuring artist–producer Danger Mouse (billed by his real name, Brian Burton) and James Mercer the lead vocalist and guitarist for the indie rock band The Shins. The project was first announced on Tuesday, September 29, 2009. The pair decided to work together after meeting at a Danish music festival in 2004 and finding they were fans of each others work. Mercer and Burton began recording together in secret at Burton's Los Angeles based studio in March 2008 and describe their material as "melodic, but experimental, too".

BRANDI CARLILE
Named one ofRolling Stone’s 10 artists to watch in 2005, Brandi Carlile is an American singer-songwriter who crosses genres with her uniquely hued music - from pop-rock to alt country to folk.
Carlile's songs have a spare heartache that reflects her love for old-school country, but she loves new-school mopers like Radiohead and Jeff Buckley just as much. "I get all sorts of comparisons but never to one person," she says. "It's more like, 'Sheryl Crow meets Patsy Cline,' which makes me feel good. At least there's some originality there."

Lady Gaga is Elle Magazine's January cover girl. She dishes on how her body responds to her stressful new life:
“I get all the symptoms of a pregnant woman. I get headaches, I get tired, I get blurred vision sometimes during a really intense session with {her creative team} the Haus.”
On her former career {not the stripping, but waitressing}:
“I was really good at it. I always got big tips. I always wore heels to work! I told everybody stories, and for customers on dates, I kept it romantic. It’s kind of like performing.”
On her future family:
“In eight to 10 years, I want to have babies for my Dad to hold, grandkids. And I want to have a husband who loves and supports me, just the way anyone else does. I would never leave my career for a man right now, and I would never follow a man around.”
Drape these delicate garlands over your mantle, banister, or mirrors this holiday season and enjoy all the magic and beauty they bring to your decor. Many can be used any time of the year!

JUNIOR BOYS
Junior Boys was formed in 1999 in Ontario, Canada as a duo of Jeremy Greenspan and Johnny Dark. The two collaborated using their influences as their sounding board. After years of many rejections and near-misses, they were resigned to being bedroom beat constructors. Giving up, Johnny Dark left the band to pursue other interests. Then, in 2002, KIN Records heard the band's demo and commissioned more work from remaining member Greenspan who hooked up with his engineer, Matt Didemus, to begin writing more material. Here for your listening and downloading pleasure is just one song that has gained attention.
