Many of our favorite Indies were out last night including: Sir Ben Kingsley, Shenae Grimes, Famke Janssen, Rebecca Minkoff, Billy Burke, Scott Campbell, Arlenis Sosa, Genevieve Jones, Waris Ahluwalia, Lance Bass, & Sky Ferreira

The exhibition was itself  fantastic.  Some of the films included in the exhibtion were Taxi Driver, The Aviator, & Vertigo. Our personal favorite attraction happened to be costumes from Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette. (Featured below)

The exhibition, which will be open to the public (FOR FREE!) starting today until June 19th 2011 at  Center 548 in New York City, celebrates the stories of obsessive craftsmanship behind some of cinema’s most iconic on-screen moments.  It takes 30 manual steps to create the perfect pair of Persol frames and  similarly this exhibit showcases how each instance of what appears on the silver screen  can take hours, weeks or even months of painstaking research and craftsmanship to develop and comes for a place of passion.

For some more art check out this video of Sam & I doing a wave in a flipbook we made at the event (below)

Sky Ferreira (Lolita/Britney Spears of the Y2K/Internet Generation) has recently opened up a Soundcloud account…

The 18 year old songstress has been posting clips from her debut Untitled album (Capitol Records this summer)  on her Soundcloud account in order to keep her fan-base up with the music/keep the silence broken.  We all know that Sky has been featured in like every fashion mag but she is a musician at the end of the day and music is obvs her #1 priority.

“Song 1 Snip”‘ is rumored to be produced by Bloodshy & Avant (Kylie/BoA), the beat made me imagine images of a  unidentified species of snakes slithering on Mars…I’m not crazy, you can really just listen to the clip and tell me if you feel the same way.

“Untouchable” was written when Sky was 14, so if it seems middle-school dance to you.. Maybe, that could answer your question.  Although, the bubblegum angst seems to get balanced by dynamic synths and a continuous but foreign bass drum.. “I am the dancefloor/I’ll play your innocent type that you’ve always wished for!”

It’s not every day that Bloodshy & Avant birth a teen pop star. In comes Sky Ferreira, almost too good to be true. Eh?

Bloodshy is back in the studio? What! He’s working with an 18-year-old girl out of Los Angeles? Huh? Baby Britney Spears is that you?! The blogosphere nearly had a mental breakdown when the news got out and everyone’s expectations raised sky high (no pun intended).  Klas Åhlund? Bloodshy & Avant? Five track EP?  Is this really happening? I would like to call her the underground pop revolutionist.

The AS IF! EP shows off nothing but sass, character and imagination. Whether Sky is channelling different gimmicks/egos during these songs is undetermined. However, it’s safe to say every song has its own personality and story to tell.

The first single, “Sex Rules” is an 80s’ themed floor-filler with witty lyrics that sum up a teen point of view on sex, although it isn’t a proper representation of the rest of the exotic pop songs on this EP. The electro/pop ballad “Traces” starts off in an honest fashion; Ferreira confessing and loathing about a boy who left stains in her bed. Colin Munroe’s production harbours an eerie ambiance with a dubstep-tinged chorus and melancholy piano based verses. “Haters Anonymous” could be one of the weirdest genuinely cool pop songs you’ve heard in the last 5 years. The song’s concept revolves around social commentary and the Internet generation; primarily the way we are able to rapidly comment and post foolish things without thinking twice. Bloodshy’s pet robot that makes appearances in almost every Kylie/Britney song splashes out a “Whatever!” like Cher Horowitz from Clueless in Tron shtick. “The Slander Machine kicks in full gear,” before a toned down but huge pop chorus. By the end of the song, every listener should conjure images of html codes, computers crashing and neon lights. “99 Tears” sounds like it could’ve been on Kylie Minogue’s X album. A cute reference to Johnny Depp cult classic, Cry Baby comes off to be completely necessary in a pop song or maybe she is just talking about a boy who cried wolf. Sky’s shiny vocals demanding a boy to “Drown in 99 Tears,” over a beaming Greg Kurstin beat is basically pop perfection. “108” concludes things in a strange way; the Teddybears utilized beat sounds like something that would be played in a robot graveyard in Sweden. “My Secret lover is 108/ I know it sounds insane, it’s really ok,” could be a play on teen girls dating older men or about an imaginary lover.

AS IF! Is as fun as the movie it was named after and is a must have for fans of Britney Spears’ Blackout

AS IF!— a digital EP that will be available from all digital retailers beginning March 22nd. The lead-off track, “Sex Rules,” is currently for sale on iTunes.

Just recently seventeen, singer/songwriter Sky Ferreira has a crazy sense of fashion (and braces!). As an early birthday present, EMI records signed Sky and are helping her put together her debut album.  The Guardian said of the major’s latest signing “[She makes] Lady Gaga look a bit, well, old and rubbish”.  That’s what I like to hear.

In addition to her music career, Sky is Waffles + Falafels ‘youngest in charge,’ and is filming a movie this summer called the Metal Gods…this girl is all over the map!
