I popped into her gallery in the French Quarter last November when I saw all of the beautifully embroidered birds through the window. But she’s an amazing fabric artist who has also composed appliqué tapestries evoking the spirit of music, art, and creativity. She has a gallery in Santa Fe as well. I hope I’mContinue reading “Chris Roberts-Antieau”

Chiso Kimonos
I just watched a short op-doc on YouTube about this amazing kimono manufacturer that’s been around for nearly 500 years. Trust me, you should watch the video and check out their website.
Drama Queen: Story of Pearl Girl
I’ll cut right to the chase: you can skip this one. But you might not want to for reasons I have no control over. Say you’ve heard all the scuttlebutt around Zhao Lusi’s health and want to support her, or just want to ambulance-chase Pearl Girl, the last drama she filmed before she was hospitalized,Continue reading “Drama Queen: Story of Pearl Girl”
And Merry Christmas from ATEEZ
You likely won’t make it all the way through this one unless you have as many sunk costs with these guys as I do, but fast forward to 17 minutes in and watch the adorable sibling energy between Seonghwa and Yeosang
Merry Christmas from Gosha!
Hang out by the fire with him and steal pomegranates…. Then take a snow bath when you need a break!

A throwback for anyone who watched late-night TV in the 90s…. I get the biggest kick out of these shorts filmed by a mom of 2 (now 3!) sighthounds, so I thought I’d share silken windhound Cleo’s Halloween production with you. (Make sure to tune into part 2 as well. Boo!) youtube.com/shorts/4bTH5-ayvD4
Drama Queen: Black Knight
I actually watched this one a year ago, I think, but never posted on it. But after I watched Officer Black Belt with Kim Woo Bin, which was awful, I went back and rewatched Black Knight to remind myself what he can do with a decent script and director. Black Knight is based on aContinue reading “Drama Queen: Black Knight”
Loading…Review of Spiritfarer
You know when you don’t want to say goodbye to a character in a video game that you’re having a special experience. That’s the main strength of Spiritfarer: the designers at Thunder Lotus have put so much effort into crafting the various spirits you pamper, cajole, and coax into the afterlife that it’s hard toContinue reading “Loading…Review of Spiritfarer”
