Sasha Grey At Brandeis University- Tonight

Brandise University, the only nonsectarian Jewish-sponsored college in the United States, will be screening the new Sasha Grey movie tonight at their campus in Waltham. As part of their installment of the Brandeis Meet the Artist series, they will feature Oscar-winning director Steven Soderbergh’s new film, “The Girlfriend Experience” featuring Sasha Grey. The Actress/Porn Star is the lead of the new movie about a $2,000-an-hour Manhattan escort. Soderbergh, takes you into the life of a woman who provides her clients the true “girlfriend experience,” not just your average date. Sophisticated, worldly, well-dressed, and well-versed in the topics of pre-election politics and issues, Grey’s call girl and her accepting trainer boyfriend (Chris Santos) provide us the storyline that guides us through the capitalist underbelly of our society. The screening will start at 7pm and has not be confirmed if it only open to Brandeis students.

Boston Gallery Review- April

This month has been full of new urban art openings in Boston, so we decided we would do a little review and fill you in on them.  At the beginning of the month a gallery called “Chorus” opened its doors inside the new bike/design/art space OPEN in Somerville. The show called “Keep it Down” features photography by Justin Keena, and will stay up until May 15th.

Next this month was the Paint Pens in Purses Pop-Up Gallery, which took over Marty’s Liquors in Allston after it permanently closed its doors after 60 years of business. The Paint Pens ladies temporarily utilize the dead space as a pop-up gallery, in an attempt to reclaim and reinvigorate the infamous space. The show includes a multitude of mediums filling up fifteen 7ft x 5ft window display boxes of the large storefront. We aren’t sure how long the pop-up gallery will be there so stop by soon!

Lastly, this past weekend was the much a waited Abstract & Decay show at LAB Boston. Curated by Kenji Nakayama, the art show features work by: Jessica Hess, Anna Trazaska, Katie Hovland and Rahul Shah. Windows for the exhibition were painted by Enamel Kingdom, Evoker & Kenji.

L.A. Fetish with Lana

During my most recent trip to L.A. I visited the Bordello club which was hosting a sexy, fetish Burlesque show featuring the lovely Emily Marilyn in a full latex ensemble. Also, on stage was Pyra Sutra who set the stage, and quite literally her nipples on fire.  The Petrojvic Blasting Company was the opening band before the show, and in my opinion was the real talent of the night. If you ever get the chance to see them you should definatly check them out. These guys sang, and played multiple instruments…. even playing the drums with their heels. What?!  Speaking of heels, I discovered this amazing Insa piece on the exterior wall of a tattoo shop in Venice.  Love those legs!

Road Tripping to Maine- Worumbo Mill

This past Sunday, Jenna and I ventured up to Maine to meet up with our friend Matt Moore about some business, and also to stop by my parents house for a little bbq and bike riding. On our way into Lisbon Falls, we passed the Worumbo Mill, which was once used for textile production & manufacturing. Being the textile nerds Jenna & I are, we had to stop at their outlet store and see what was there. The huge space was filled with vintage sewing machines, knitting looms, a ton of blankets & fabric and old pieces of machinery from the mill. You can check out more pictures of the outlet here. And, for anyone that is interesting in the production of textiles this is definetley a good place to visit.
