A BOHEMIAN LIKE YOU

A man must dream a long time in order to act with grandeur, and dreaming is nursed in darkness.

I’m afraid that if you look at a thing long enough, it loses all of its meaning - Andy Warhol

The result of me making my Andy Warhol paper toy with scissors and double sided tape! Warhol may have said “Im afraid that if you look at a thing long enough, it loses all of its meaning…” I say, “Im afraid that if you look at my Andy Warhol paper toy recreation, his head will fall off!” - He’s already armless… Don’t ask… ha!

I got crafty.

I’m the type who’d be happy not going anywhere as long as I was sure I knew exactly what was happening at the places I wasn’t going to. I’m the type who’d like to sit home and watch every party that I’m invited to on a monitor in my bedroom - Andy Warhol

PLEDGE TO READ THE PRINTED WORD

“It’s become fashionable to proclaim that print is dying, as if a medium that has been around for more than five centuries might, like a guest who has overstayed his welcome, suddenly glance about the room, see his hostess nodding off in her chair, and realize it’s time to call it a night. I have my doubts about the all-encompassing scope of the so-called digital revolution…-historically, the magazine subscribers of the future—still read.

…At Vanity Fair have learned to navigate the digital waters but don’t expect us to turn into the Huffington Post anytime soon. Americans have taken to inhaling their news in catch-as-catch-can fashion from whatever screens they happen to have at hand: televisions, computers, cell phones, even those little TV sets in elevators. But in this age of constant information availability, it’s important to take a step back every now and then—once a month sounds about right—to immerse ourselves in the stories that define our times.

A good Vanity Fair story should have at least a couple of the following elements: access, narrative arc, friction and disclosure. A great one has at least three and a truly great one has all four…

Commercial television is six-and-a-half decades old, the magazine is nearly 300 years old, and the printing press is five-and-a-half centuries old. But the art of storytelling is millennia older than all three. So if print journalism’s business model is changing, our only move as editors is to double down on delivering what our readers have always wanted from us: compelling stories and iconic photographs. And it won’t matter if they’re read on a laptop, a cell phone, or on paper.

You could argue that the magazine is as brilliant an invention as anything Apple will come up with. We take glorious stories, combine them with arresting photography, illustration and design, along with stunning advertising images, and bundle the whole thing into a package that is inexpensive, easy to use and available almost anywhere. It can be passed on afterward or recycled. And you don’t need instructions or batteries.”

LIP SERVICE

YOUTH IS NOT A TIME OF LIFE
IT IS A STATE OF MIND
IT IS NOT A MATTER OF ROSY CHEEKS, RED LIPS OR SUPPLE KNEES
IT IS A MATTER OF THE WILL
QUALITY OF THE IMAGINATION
A VIGOR OF EMOTIONS
IT IS THE FRESHNESS OF THE DEEP SPRINGS OF LIFE
