"Respect for life has to include respect for how that life is lived, enhanced and protected — not..."

“

Respect for life has to include respect for how that life is lived, enhanced and protected — not only at the moment of conception but afterward, in the course of that life. That’s why, for me, the most “pro-life” politician in America is New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg. While he supports a woman’s right to choose, he has also used his position to promote a whole set of policies that enhance everyone’s quality of life — from his ban on smoking in bars and city parks to reduce cancer, to his ban on the sale in New York City of giant sugary drinks to combat obesity and diabetes, to his requirement for posting calorie counts on menus in chain restaurants, to his push to reinstate the expired federal ban on assault weapons and other forms of common-sense gun control, to his support for early childhood education, to his support for mitigating disruptive climate change.

Now that is what I call ‘pro-life.’

“The most terrifying fact about the universe is not that it is hostile but that it is indifferent; but if we can come to terms with this indifference and accept the challenges of life within the boundaries of death — however mutable man may be able to make them — our existence as a species can have genuine meaning and fulfillment. However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light.”

- Stanley Kubrick

“When companies are growing quickly and they are having a lot of impact, careers take care of themselves. And when companies aren’t growing quickly or their missions don’t matter as much, that’s when stagnation and politics come in. If you’re offered a seat on a rocket ship, don’t ask what seat. Just get on.”

A peek at The Hellers’ latest collection: it’s one-part tea party, one-part rave with kaleidoscopic prints and structured silhouettes that feel both whimsical and armor-like. For the full, jaw-droppingly beautiful collection head here.

I hit the opening of Os Gemeos’ solo show at Prism, “Miss You”, last Saturday night. An explosion of sequins, vibrant palettes and upside-down tear drops growing out of the floor, the Brazilian twins’ LA debut was quite a show. It stands as one of the best translations of street art into a gallery space that I’ve seen.

My personal creation—and it took less than two hours!

As I’ve mentioned here before, I’m not a fan of fickle plants. I love succulents for this very reason: They require little water, not a lot of sunlight and are generally pretty difficult to kill. Plus,…

“Ms. Winehouse may seem a strange symbol for couture, but like her, couture is fragile, rare, free-spirited, ornery - and when it’s gone, it’s gone.”
