I Wonder What The French Think About Our

LE MACARON POSSIBILITIES
When the crazy for French macarons started it is hard to say but over the course of the last few years restaurants, specialty stores, and grocery stores have started to carry these delectable delights. Pinks, blues, and many other colors followed by a flavorful assortment of creamy tastes are dropping into the mouths of many Americans redefining the idea of what a macaron (not macaroon) is. At first thought most taste buds salivate at the idea of coconut but are quickly redefining their assumptions with every bite but are they keeping up with French standards?

Practical Diamonds Walk A Fine Line: Art+Phone=

THE ART OF PHONE 
Dangling from white nylon rope and tightly secured between two pieces of plexiglass technology hangs 51/2 ft above a cement floor at the Gallery Knibb, Venice. Who says we have to be practical! Why not a custom iPhone covered in bling or is this to hang on a wall? All anyone needs is a fat wallet and a taste for flair and they could be walking around with an Iphone covered in diamonds, gold, platinum, you name it. JUST DON'T DROP IT! OR LOSE IT! Need I say it is an expensive loss.

For Ink and Iron: Thou Shalt Commit Thyself

INK AND IRON 
Never was there so much colorful, vintage eye candy as there was this particular weekend. The Queen Mary hosts the Ink and Iron Tattoo & Kustom Culture Festival, which happened to be crawling with glamorous, Pop Rock colored haired females, decked out in their 40's/50's best, accompanied by more men with dashing pompadour's covered in gobs of grease. Warning: It's a sticky business. Cars, music, clothes and contests were just some of what inspired visitors to get their hands dirty. Here's another one... Mosh 

What! An Art Walk in Santa Ana

YES and IT'S A TRIP.
Art walks seem to be popping all over the place; downtown Los Angeles, Venice, you name an area and they'll most likely have one but if they don't they will shortly. The first Saturday of every month Santa Ana has their own art walk which, surprisingly, was much bigger than expected and definitely more interesting... Ran around looking at art with a drink in my hand while some good old southern food awaited my return.

A Desiree Day

DESIREE 
Though much of the art created this Memorial Day weekend happened at Lightning in a Bottle I had the rare opportunity to create art photography with Desiree Siahaan. If you have yet to be introduced to her you should. "Desiree this is Pop Culture Taxi's family. Family this is Desiree."
You could say she's a professional actress (which she is) but in my book she's a professional actress with a strong dash of sweetheart... She kissed me on the cheek! Sooo cute.

Yelle! if she wants to

YELLE
Hide and seek!!! WndrWrks threw an underground after-party for French dance-pop group Yelle this weekend at a secret location in Hollywood. She played The Music Box earlier in the evening and was meant to play a DJ set when she arrived at the party, but gods knows if she really turned up.... famine struck before there was any glimpse of her DJing skills.
There was a rumor that she showed up and played around 2 AM. Must have just missed her.

LA Auto Show 2010

LOS ANGELES AUTO SHOW 2010 


The LA Auto Show 2010 introduced a couple of crazy new eye-catching automobiles but in this case one of the prettiest cars of the show happened to be older than one of her many admirers. Who says men don't like older women...
