Please note that Le Gaga is dressed like Le Napoleon.

Making art out of old junk requires a very particular economic profile that as far as I can tell belongs only to the old guard nations of industrialization. It’s neat to think about.

I’m so into this. Imagine if all of the houses on this hillside were built into the mountain—every house would enjoy a completely unobstructed view, and be perfectly insulated from weather, provided the entrances faced the winter sun. So cool!

Fried hominy with lime,

chicken liver pate on toasts,

duck confit with dates, pecans and dandelion,

rabbit legs with capers and collards,

panna cotta and raspberry sauce,

AND a Big Fat Bottle of Delicious Red Wine

(followed by three birthday cookies and three cups of syrupy thrice-boiled Turkish for breakfast approximately nine hours later).

Happy 26. YEAH.
