Feeling fresh n’ sassy because I got a grand total of thirty minutes to poke through the photos accumulating on my hard drive last night! This post is dedicated to the LA Noir art show – the one I made The Centipede and Rachael for. Here are a few photos I managed to snap between sipping Manhattans, ogling all the art and being fabulous in an outfit I really wish I’d documented.
As I’d mentioned before, the exhibit was held in a beautiful house in Echo Park, a house with rich, dark wood paneling, steep staircases, an aviary, and this view:
If I ever buy a house in LA it will be in Echo Park.
The night was a glittering blur of art, burning Bibles and laughs, as you will see for yourselves by scrolling down.
There were many of these guys, created by various participants of the show. This was one of my favorites – such a beautiful smile!
And speaking of beautiful smiles, this is Josh, one of our hosts and curators. Also bartender for the night.
The walking, barking terror that is Fernando – Josh’s unholy creation.
Josh made this delightful triclops, as well.
The chirping aviary on the back patio. There were literally mountains of baby birds in the back of the cage, huddling together in stacks, for warmth.
The aforementioned burning Bible.
Lumi taking this photo in the staircase dubbed the Chinatown section of the show.
Bernie – the stinky, sleepy, lovable beast.
The mirror-filled coffin at entrance lets you know how it is.
A quick tipsy photo of my make up and hair from the night.

Unrelated and awesome.
Time to make tea, open all the windows and inhale the cool October morning fog.

Nice makeup and hair. Dogz=funny! :)
seriously great photos! mine sucked so bad / but then again my camera couldn’t possibly measure up to yours / AND the manhattans were killing me. :) i wish i documented your outfit, too, but it came out blurries.
p.s. why are there no pics of your art in this post?! i tried to take some, too, but, again, blurry. ARRR.
Lumi, thank you!
And I didn’t take any photos of my pieces! Lame, I know but eh – they’re on this site, too.
Those Manhattans were something else, mm?
Oh man, seems like a lot of fun! I would have loved to see all the birdies. They sound adorable.
I think I’m quite honestly in love with Fernando…
Have been following your shenanigans for a while (or at least what you let us see on the Internetz!), but this post compelled me to finally comment. What a dark, intriguing explosion of talent! The house, the art and the artists together form a coherent, consistently stylized expression. Delicious.
The photos of the show are great. I wished that I had checked it out; hopefully there will be another.
