For those of you who are pet lovers, this is especially cool. For $200 you can have a custom painted portrait of your pet. And My friends/readers these are so cool, they almost look like a "paint by number" of your pet, and hand painted by Kira herself.

I'd rather remove my gallbladder with an oyster fork then go through all my junk emails. BUT, NOT ANYMORE!
With a penchant for sassy humor and graphic design these two friends created this site to showcase artwork,, not JUST ANY OL' artwork, but artwork inspired by the headlines of spam emails! ( can we name a street in nyc after these girls please!)
Known and Missy and Kat, (the genius minds I speak of) have made going through your junk mail folder a pleasurable pain free experience. You can send in your artwork with the "inspired" subject line from your junk mail. What a better way to ignore your work and laugh your ass off.
Send in your inspired anything ( jpeg, video, audio, tone, poems) to spamblr@gmail.com and they will post it right away!
You don't need to be Dionne Warwick to see this one coming,,, you WILL become addicted!
When two girls, with genius minds, go on a mental vacation together, what do you get?

The DIA BEACON is in Beacon , New York on the Hudson. The Museum is in the old Nabisco Factory and is a collection of art from the 1960's to present. You can take Metro North and the train literally drops you off right there! No cabs needed what-so-ever.
The building itself is an art piece. You aren't allowed to take any pictures in the museum which blows but its still worth the trip.
For more information check out

With all the Pope coverage on tv I was inspired to inform you of a old movie that is a Goldie Hawn/Chevy Chase classic. If you want to laugh your ass off rent FOUL PLAY...... BECAUSE, the under plot is that someone is trying to assassinate the pope in the movie.
PLOT SUMMARY
When, unbeknownst to Gloria, a microfilm cassette is left with her by a dying agent, she becomes entangled in a complicated series of events. She's pursued by a dwarf and an albino, and becomes convinced that they are out to kill her. Finally, with the help of San Francisco detective Tony Carlson, she begins to turn the tables on her pursuers. It becomes clear that the nerfarious crew after her are plotting a dastardly deed indeed - to assassinate the Pope as he visits the city to see _The Mikado_. Gloria and Tony must race against time to prevent this terrible crime.

The Tag line for the movie "Ladies and Gentlemen the Fabulous Stains" reads:
This movie WILL change your life, its a cult classic.
Problem #1- Paramount never released it on DVD , so you have to put on your spy gear and think like John Stossel to find a copy .
Just the facts maam.
In the movie:
Diane Lane (was only 15 years old)
Laura Dern
Christine Lahti
Steve Jones and Paul Cook from the Sex Pistols
Paul Simonen from the Clash
Fee Waybill from the Tubes (** FUN FACT he was also the singer in the "battle of the bands dream sequence" from Xanadu)
Also, Sting makes a brief appearance
I swear on my pink nail polish, the mission to find this movie will be well worth it.
Xoxo

If you are removing your nail polish , and find out that you ran out of cotton balls , don't cry. We all know that toilet paper melts and that paper towels suck. Once again, as mom said NECESSITY IS THE MOTHER OF INVENTION!
Therefore , use a tampon. 1 tampon will work for all 10 nails.
Save the tampons that submarine in the bottom of your purse for a month and end up looking like they were attacked by a great white.

Honk Honk!
Every issue of Preen Magazine they have an artist design a "P" for a page in the front of the magazine. This current issue P is something I did. Check it out, and if you want to submit a P send your info to :
info@preenmag.com
fyi- My "p" is a sculpture of all my favorite childhood jewelry and knick knacks. (look for the 1985 swatch, Daddy Warbucks, Punjab, and Annie figurines)

My mom always told me "Blair, necessity is the mother of invention".
Well who ever invented this , I would like to meet. It's a tripod that you can attach your camera to and then screw it onto your beer! (or other bottled beverage)
Sorry to report that if you are a wine drinker you can't screw it to your wine glass, ... unless you drink right from the wine bottle,, and,..... if that's you ,.....I salute !
You can get this at UrbanOutfitters.com for only $10.00. AND PS- YOU CAN ONLY GET IT ONLINE, NOT AT THE STORES!!!! It would make a great gift for your snap happy camera friends! WWW.urbanoutfitters.com (search under "camera and accessories", bottle cap tri-pod)
Yes, while in Miami on vacation I did many things and I even went to a MUSEUM ....on a nice beach day!
I have to say that most contemporary museums bore me , but this one blew my mind. The Rubell Family Collection started in 1964 and is one of the leading collections in the world. The building that houses the art was actually an old warehouse owned by the Drug Enforcement Agency that stored confiscated goods! It's HUUUUUGGGGEEE.
My FAVORITES:
Artist Mai-Thu Perret " Apocalypse Ballet"
(When I saw this , I wanted to put on my tutu and hit the Home Depot lighting isle.)
Artist Jason Rhoades ( r.i.p.)
If this piece was for sale, and fit in my suitecase I would have taken it home like a lost puppy that day! His neon lights looked like a giant chandelier from Never Never Land.
The Rubell Family Collection is located at 95 NW 29th St in Miami Florida.
Admission is $10. website: http://www.rubellfamilycollection.com

If you are in Miami and hate Technomusic and just want a great dive bar, where you can actually hear yourself talk and don't have to fend of k-hole ravers then this is the bar for you!
THE DUECE in South Beach 222 14th st. 305-531-6200
I am telling you, this place rules, it smells in the bathroom, but as a New Yorker on vacation I felt right at home. .... and I needed it!
Also if you are lucky enough to be there when Keith Richards is there drinking then you should no doubt play the lottery the next day. One of the locals told me about Keith frequenting the bar , then when he walked in i FELL OFF MY BAR STOOL. ( side bar, NO, it's not the real Keith but take a look at this picture and you will agree I fell for a reason.)
Ps- The lighting in this bar is soo killer you will get drunk and walk out with the hottest pictures due to the tons of old neon lights.

A free sample changed my life... and it sat in my purse for 2 months... (WHY!)
I was at a party trying to cover up all my zits and had nothing in my beat-up cosmetic bag but this sample size La Mer product. ( I know, life is sooo bad ,,, NOT!)
Fast forward, my friend looked at me and said, WHAT DID YOU JUST PUT ON BECAUSE YOUR SKIN LOOKS EXCELLENT?
Since then I leave home without my keys, mind, cell phone, but never my La Mer Fluid Tint. It is not a foundation , so you won't look like the makeup whores in high school with the orange foundation line. ( I promise) it gives you a glow and makes your face the case
IT GETS BETTER,,,, it's only $65.00 ( surprised ? umm yeah, because La Mer Creme is a pricey product ) and it lasts you longer than your relationships for sure! I am not a expensive product whore, I wash my face with a Dove bar for heavens sake.
