With most galleries easing their way from underneath the after effects of Hurricane Sandy, we were more than happy to see our friends over at Lyons Weir get back on their feet. Reemerging from their hiatus with a bang, the gallery debuted their exhibit for the talented Melodie Provenzano. Titled Rock Center, the show features a series of selected works from …
Brand “New” Blue.
In what looks to be a case of ‘lost and found’, the James Franco directed visuals for R.E.M.’s single, “Blue”, have surfaced after mysteriously laying low for nearly a year. Starring Lindsay Lohan, the video is a pleasant surprise for fans–especially since it is for a song that is off of R.E.M.’s very last album together, Collapse Into Now. Retaining …
Booklandia.
Portlandia can be a strange place, but thankfully the Norse Gods have bestowed upon us, Portlandia: A Guide for Visitors.

Similar to classic View-Master toy, Projecto uses a special wheel roll to access these photos: “Through an iterative process, we optimized the focal length of the lenses and added a …
Right On the Monáe.
Janelle Monáe is the new face of CoverGirl® and we couldn’t be happier. Props to CoverGirl® for stepping outside of the box from ‘Easy and Breezy,’ Girl Next Door’ to pompadour hair, black and white wearing hipster. CoverGirl® is often known for the more traditional fair; however, their selection of Monáe is far from traditional. Her look is the exact revamp …
