after searching for a new place to live in, we decided to stop looking last friday night. not because we found a place, though. where will we be after january 31st? i'm not sure, really. yet i'm surprisingly relaxed about it all.
anyway, mackenzie and i had a pretty fun weekend. after mack came back from skating bercy on saturday, we did a little window-shopping. checked out colette on the very chic-chic, boutique-lined rue st. honoré. it's like a minimalist urban outfitters. they carry a couple of creative labels (like bob k's crownfarmer!) and a few cool books, but it's nothing that i haven't seen before. coming from the states, and moreso l.a., maybe i'm spoiled with having been surrounded by so many outlets for new ideas. an observation that was made after leaving colette: if, say, the likes of dior, chanel and louis vuitton are the old school of creativity, and colette is the house of all that is considered new school, then paris seems to be a bit limited. or, having existed for so long, maybe paris is just more established.
on sunday, we visited the musee de la publicité next to the louvre. they had an amazing exhibition called psy[k]é/off the wall: affiches de san francisco 1966-1969. they displayed some of the most beautiful designs i'd seen from that time period. we also sat in on a couple of amazing films, like the doors in europe in 1968 and jimi hendrix playing live at rainbow bridge in maui. mack and i hung out there for a few hours. it was a rejuvination session for our creative souls.
