I pulled this image off a website where all the text is in French. But you don’t have to understand French to know this is a photo of four Stormtrooper finger nails and their buddy Darth Vader Nail hanging out on the Ring Finger. Rad.

Katrin Sigurdardottir At the Met NYC
Boiserie (Detail), 2010 by Katrin Sigurdardottir
The Metropolitan Museum of Art has a couple of installations by Icelandic artist Katrin Sigurdardottir on exhbit through March 6, 2011, for which I enthusiastically recommend taking a brief excursion over to the Modern Art Wing (north and south mezzanine galleries) to check out if you happen to be at the museum. The exhibit consists of a pair of site-specific installations that re-create two of the Met’s eighteenth-century French period rooms known as boiseries from the Hôtel de Crillon and the Hôtel de Cabris. The one above can be viewed through one-way mirrors while the other (Image Below) can be physically entered. Both are very cool and kind of spooky, which I like.

Just being serious. Continue reading Gail Meets Chef Eric Ripert!

Amy Adams and Meryl Streep Star in Julie & Julia
If I were a wealthy woman, I would certainly be much more of a devoted Foodie than I already am. Because the availability of massive amounts of dispensable cash is really the only thing separating me from eating truffles and Kobe beef, followed by gold-leaf-flecked hot fudge sundaes several times a week. I am totally not kidding. Continue reading Julie & Julia: A Very Good Movie About Cooking and Love
