Our latest addition to the altar of E.O.F. {STYLE IDOLS & DIVINITIES) was the impossibly stunning Mark Frechette, whose stardom originates as the handsome hero of Michelangelo Antonioni's 1970 counter-culture cult classic Zabriskie Point. We thought it apropos to delve into the fantastic and fundamental stylish-ness of this poignant and severely under-rated film. Whilst the flower…Read more {STYLE WISE} ANTONIONI’S “ZABRISKIE POINT” +BLOW IT UP!!!+

Music Minute: Krzysztof Komeda “Rosemary’s Baby Interlude”
“A chance to sit quietly and find out who you are; where you've been and where you're going.” -Ira Levin, Rosemary's Baby {published in 1967} I called this an interlude because of its sauntering sweet nature between the high stakes and drama that is"Rosemary's Baby". Polanski's iconic film had many claiming he had beckoned the…Read more Music Minute: Krzysztof Komeda “Rosemary’s Baby Interlude”

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Music Minute: “Perdita” by Rubber City (D. Lynch & D. Slusser)
We gave a mention to this seminal 1990s David Lynch classic in one our latest posts, a reblog from The Selvedge Yard regarding the September 1991 photo spread in American Vogue entitled "Wild at Heart". For me, it was easy to see the title as a reference to Lynch's film of the same name, released…Read more HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Music Minute: “Perdita” by Rubber City (D. Lynch & D. Slusser)
{STYLE WISE}{MUSIC MINUTE} “THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH” by Garbage PLUS Being Obsessed with Shirley Manson
+THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH+ Leave it to a band called "Garbage" to style one of the most iconic Bond songs ever made. We've profiled Adele's stunning take on the Bond song with "Skyfall" back in 2012, and still agree that it is one of the best, as well as a masterful encapsulation of the…Read more {STYLE WISE}{MUSIC MINUTE} “THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH” by Garbage PLUS Being Obsessed with Shirley Manson
Music Minute: “Penumbra” by Bobby Beausoleil and the Freedom Orchestra
Bobby Beausoleil has a bit of a bad rep. Bad rep could be an understatement, but it's true. It never helps to be friends with Charles Manson, or get caught up in a war against society, but its sad to have this overshadow some of his greater achievements, like music. It goes without saying that he…Read more Music Minute: “Penumbra” by Bobby Beausoleil and the Freedom Orchestra

Soundtracks of my LIFE: “HANNAH AND HER SISTERS” (1986)
No, not Hannah from GIRLS . . . "Hannah and Her Sisters" - one of Woody Allen's best and most classic films he ever made chronicling the eccentric lives of well, Hannah, and her sisters.
