Not all work gets made even though we think it should-a-been. This will be a regularly updated section on Foaming at the Mouth.

Everybody has a little Latin in them. Or a lot. Bringing out the Latin in you means bringing out your fun side. Or getting your party on. So go ahead. Latinize yourself. Latinize your family. Latinize your boss. Latinizing is about being proud of the Latin in you, and celebrating it every chance you get. Want to make the everyday less than ordinary? Latinize!

Damien Hirst & Tony Kaye Should Apologize For Wasting 8 Minutes Of Our Lives

Clearly the collaboration was a colossal waste of time and money and talent. Cow carcasses neatly hung on the wall doesn’t hint at Hirst’s former opinion on our collective state of denial when it comes to the animals we eat. And Kaye’s timid, formulaic filming of a cute ass thrashing about a hospital room is hardly reminiscent of American X’s poignant and brilliant depiction of an American tragedy. Not exactly Gilbert and George. Or the Cohen brothers. Sometimes, creatively speaking, it’s better to go solo.

Chanel Mobile Art

New York can always make room for more exciting architecture. The latest wonder belongs to Zaha Hadid. For the next couple weeks the Chanel Mobile Art Pavilion will be at Rumsey Playfield in Central Park. The pavilion was conceived of as a mobile gallery to house artwork inspired by Chanel’s quilted chain-strap 2.55 handbag. A true classic.

Inside, Karl Lagerfeld’s hand picked artists from around the globe introduce guests to conceptions such as a guitar and couch designed around the elements found in the 2.55. These pieces give the classic handbag fresh legs in the ever evolving worlds of art, music, design and fashion-showing that through the years the popular accessory has not lost an ounce of its everlasting brand identity.
