WOMEN LOVES SKATE !! SHOW PACKAGE MARCH 2009 !
WHOSE THAT GUY ?!
Larry Clark was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1943. After graduation from Central High in Tulsa, Clark attended Layton School of Art in Milwaukee, Wisconsin for two years. He was drafted into the army and sent to Vietnam in 1966.
Clark's groundbreaking first feature film, KIDS was released in 1995. Based on a story by Clark and Jim Lewis with a script by Harmony Korine, one of the several teenage skateboarders Clark befriended in New York City's Washington Square Park and later cast in his film. KIDS was controversial even before it's release, prompting the then Disney owned Miramax to remove its name from the film and release it privately. The film screened in competition at the 1995 Cannes Film Festival and was a cause celebre at the Sundance Film Festival.
Following the success of KIDS Clark directed three more features, Another Day In Paradise (1997), Bully (2001) and Ken Park (2002), before discovering the Latino skate punk kids of South Central Los Angeles who would comprise the cast of his most recent feature, Wassup Rockers (2006).
Best known for his haunting depiction of teenage life on the edge in his photography volumes Tulsa (1971), and Teenage Lust (1983), Larry Clark remains a significant figure in contemporary art. His work is included in the photography collections of nearly every major museum, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Museum of Modern Art, The Whitney Museum of American Art, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Houston Museum of Fine Arts, the Museum Of Comtemporary Arts in Los Angeles, and the Frankfurt Museum fur Moderne Kunst.

MICHELLE OBAMA TO GRACE COVER OF VOGUE MAGAZINE ! MARCH 2009 !
First lady Michelle Obama is to appear on the March cover of Vogue, the first first lady to be on the famed cover since Hillary Rodham Clinton.
In the cover photo, taken by Annie Leibovitz, Obama is leaning on a soft beige sofa at the Hay Adams Hotel, where the first family stayed days before the historic inauguration. Obama is wearing a magenta dress by designer Jason Wu, who designed her inaugural ball gown. Her hand rests under her chin. Her left hand folded beneath her. She is wearing a diamond that you do not often see her wearing in recent appearances. Behind her, light streams in between curtains.
Inside, a photograph shows her in a black dress by designer Narciso Rodriguez. She is standing in front of open French doors. Outside is Lafayette Park and in the distance you can barely see the White House, the seat of power. Behind her are the props of her profession: a laptop, a cup of coffee or more likely tea. A notepad, pen. A folded newspaper. She is tethered to work by an old-fashioned telephone, the spiral cord stretched, the receiver at her right ear. She is not talking. She is either listening or on hold.

A NEW PLACE TO BE IN PARIS ! A NEW BAR TO DRINK ! THE CURIO PARLOR !
From the same owners as the always-packed Experimental Cocktail Club, this place has just opened to orgasmic applause from Left Bankers tired of crossing the river. Best Interior Ever is filled with taxidermized animals reminiscent of the famed (and largely burned) Deyrolle cabinet de curiosités. Expect the same level of funky mixology that you found at ECC (cocktails with lemongrass, basil and other unexpecteds), plus a serious whisky list. Speakeasy-style door is (for now) relatively easy to get past. That will change when this place blows up in the coming months.

THE KID, CHARLIE CHAPLIN, 1921 !
The Kid is perhaps Chaplin’s most potent marriage of comedy and high emotion. The story relates how an unmarried mother abandons a baby, which is found and unwillingly adopted by the Tramp. As the child matures to five or six years old, the two form a profitable business partnership: the boy goes round breaking windows, and his friend follows, earning an honest living by mending them again. The Tramp ferociously opposes the efforts of social workers to take the boy into public care, and finally he is reunited with his mother, now a successful opera singer.
