Photographs by Italian Francesco Giusti of purveyors of “le sape,” the fashion-obsessed La Societe des Ambianceurs et Personnes Elegantes, or the society of atmosphere setters and elegant people, something found among Congolese (both in France and Belgium and on both sides of the Congo River).

I saw Nosferatu the other night with live piano accompaniment. It was amazing. "F. W." Murnau, you rule.

It's been a while, but I'm back.

Have you seen the William Kentridge show yet at MoMA? This is the best exhibition I have (I'm going to be bold and say it) ever seen before. There is a wonderful opera piece that he created with a puppet theater of sorts, that has me going back every day at lunch. I've spent over 6 hours in the last two weeks revisiting the exhibition, and I'm not tired yet. Basically, what I'm saying to you is, go to MoMA and see what William Kentridge is all about.
