Do you like Harry Styles? I sure do. While am a little old to have been a fan of One Direction, I have enjoyed his acting skills in films like My Policeman and Don’t Worry Darling — which was somewhat confusing in plot but nevertheless  quite visually stylish! Also, he was one of the best Host / Musical Guest combos on Saturday Night Live, ever. Just being serious.

Book Review: Tattoo Street Style By Nicolas Brulez
When I first moved to New York City about 20 years ago, I didn’t know many people, and so I spent a lot of time by myself, exploring my East Village neighborhood, and just people watching. On Sunday afternoons, I used to enjoy sitting at a window table at the late, great 7A Restaurant, having a cheap, boozy brunch while watching the parade of tattooed rockers and rock star wannabes that would pass me by on their way to their mid-afternoon adventures.

One of those friends was veteran rock journalist Vincent “Vinny” Cecolini, a Metal God in his own right, whom I have been friends with for twenty years. Vinny is the bomb.

Book Review: Art & Place

Hundreds of books about Art are published every year and it’s challenging for even hardcore Art enthusiasts like me to keep track of the best ones. But I don’t think I’ve yet come across a coffee table-sized Art book that I wanted to peruse cover-to-cover for hours in the way I do Art & Place: Site-Specific Art of The Americas — a comprehensive collection of public art, due out from Phaidon Press in November, 2013.
