A Single Man – Those Glasses

admin — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 03:21:47 +0000

Finally cued up Tom Ford’s film on Netflix, and what struck me (and everyone else) the most were the glasses that Colin Firth wore. Simple and classic. Of course, no one really knows who makes them. You’d think they would be Tom Ford, but the story is is that Firth picked them out of a prop box. So now begins the search for a similar pair.

My 3 sentence review of A Single Man: To summarize, the story is about a man getting over a past love. It was slow at times, but beatifully shot. It’s worth a viewing, so long as you’re not a homophobe.

Andy Votel – Vintage Voltage

Came across this gem while shopping the Colette website. Apparently, it is off of Andy Votel’s Vintage Voltage album, described as a fusion of stimulating electro magnetic poly-pop, robotic rock and post war mechanical music. It’s just fun.

Drooooool. The texture of the taiga leather and the subtle monogram flower on the toe are stunning.

Bastide – The Last Supper

Wednesday Dinner at Bastide on Melrose Place.

I have a new name for SH. Other people call her Rin; I’m calling her Chucky’s Bride. Her meaness is that awesome.

Anyways, a bunch of us gathered to have one last summer dinner before Darth heads to the east coast for grad school. Because our party was larger than normal, we dined within the Assouline bookstore… had the room all to ourselves. They even had a white Goyard x Assouline case within spitting distance. You can see it in the above picture behind SH. Awesome.

so…. I started with the Squid….

Tried the Leek Risotto with poached egg, prosciutto, and croutons. It was mMMMm.

My main was the Pork Chop, which was surprisingly flavorful and not dry. Served with grain mustard potatoes, long beans, fried almonds, and an apple rosemary sauce, it was yum. The riesling worked well with this dish.

Finished with some panna cotta topped with mint and a rasberry consomme.

Misc….

Sooj brought her new beau, Rico Suave.. hahaha.

Madame started her own Jihad. Fun Times.

i learned a lot about women’s shoes. apparently, these are dior, jil sander, and nicholas kirkwood.

And then we called it a night…Bye Darth!

C’est tout.
