Bill Cunningham New York
Wow. I’m not a fashion person but I’ll run to see this documentary at the theatre. On The Street was always a fave when I read the print version of the NYT.

David Bowie. Serious Badass.
The Museum of Arts & Design in NYC is presenting “David Bowie, Artist:”
“a multi-platform retrospective re-framing Bowie’s daring, multi-discipline career as that of an artist working primarily in performance. From his roots in such performance-based practices as cabaret, mime, and avant-garde theater, to Ziggy Stardust, his revolutionary tour that synthesized theater, music, and contemporary art into a rock spectacle, as well as his innovative video collaborations, and his work in cinema and theater, David Bowie, Artist presents Bowie as one of the most iconoclastic cultural producers of the 20th century.”
And my head exploded! Guess I know where I’ll be spending my June nights this Summer as they’re screening most of the movies he’s appeared in. “The Hunger”, “Basquiat”, and “Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence” are faves.
Who’s your favorite Bowie? Andro Hippie Bowie? Ziggy Stardust? Aladdin Sane?Diamond Dogs Bowie? Thin White Duke? Berlin Bowie? Scary Monsters Bowie? Let’s Dance Bowie? Tin Machine Bowie?
My personal fave is Berlin Bowie (“Heroes”).

“Poses” 2011 Yolanda Dominguez
This is absolutely #brilliant.
Your new work Poses is excellent. Why did you decide to tackle the fashion industry in this way?
I tried to express what many women feel about women’s magazines and the image of women in the media – absurd, artificial, a hanger to wear dresses and bags, only concerned about being skinny, beautiful. We don’t identify with this type of woman – we are much more. I used the impossible poses to represent this type of woman and to show how absurd it is in a real context.

Morvelo are a sick brand with some great clothing & they’ve just made this awesome video of a bit of urban cyclocross. I need a cyclocross bike in my life next year.

Grimpeur Bros. Specialty Coffee: 9 DUB ESPRESSO - CLASSIC SENSIBILITIES
via grimpeurbrosspecialtycoffee:
A return to classic sensibilities. What does that mean and how does that relate to coffee or cycling? Well, here at Grimpeur Bros., we love coffee and cycling and often find correlations between the two. Coffee and cycling fit well together and complement each other—they even start with the same…
A must read by @sherpakid on espresso, fashiony citrus bombs, and the Grimpeur Bros.’ POV on what an American espresso should taste like:
“chocolate/caramel bomb, kissed with molasses and hints of leather and tobacco…”
It’s not just us…
Attention coffee shops: Over the past 3 months, in pre- and post-ride conversations, I’ve noticed cyclists and racers (massive coffee consumers & leading edge taste makers) in #ATX express being over/tired of citrusy espressos and macchiatos. Everyone loves light roasted, complex, and yes fruity coffees (like Grimpeur Bros.’ Greenbelt Single Origin that features a classic Ethiopian #BlueberryBomb). But puckering when drinking an espresso? #NotSoMuch
Oh…and check out this thread on “citrusy” espressos on CoffeeGeek.com.
DISCLOSURE #1: @sherpakid and I are Co-Founders of Grimpeur Bros. Specialty Coffee.
DISCLOSURE #2: @sherpakid was a SICK MTB racer back in the day. Today he is a SICK NYC club road racer. I’ll take full credit for starting him on the path of the latter…
