Gold Pants Lullaby


Leslie Hall, gem sweater collector and conceptual/media artist. Such goodness!

I can promise one thing:

when the day comes that I spawn mini-Beckstars to dominate the multiverse with their inestimable radness...

...this will be the song that lulls them to sleep every night.

I work mainly in kittens...

I dare you. Watch these paper-cut-out-style animations of adorable kittens rocking out to classic hits, and deny that we're living in a wonderful age.


The kittens cover Emerge by Fischerspooner.


Chinchillas. DMX. Consider that this video, and the genus mammal, are likely the only links between these two creatures.


And the amazing continues - Joan Jett as played by a kitten. You know which song.

This is all the work of UK artist/experimenter Joel Veitch from rathergood.com. He also does commercial work [see below] much in the same vein, as well as some interesting experiments which can be seen on the site. He's also a member of the ska band 7 seconds of love. He also... what... can breathe underwater?


I'm not sure what they're selling... but I'll take three cases.

Let's Get Em. Let's Party.



So so so amazing. Just enjoy it.

You've probably seen this, as it's been passed around like crazy, but if not... it rules!

Erin + Dale: Argyle Extravaganza!

Saturday night saw us toasting Erin and Dale's engagement, an event which happened about a year ago, but which is obviously worth celebrating at any time!


Awww... such a lovely couple!


A small part of the infamous Argyle Gang, repping their pattern.


Eileen and Brandi share a laugh.


Eileen and Robin share a moment.


Here I am fearing Erin's alleged giant head.

Their wedding is going to be be even more fun, so... yay! Any event with a cupcake-pyramid cake is obviously tops.

How Friday Nights Get Out of Control Part III: Tickle Trunk!

So... what can you say about the spontaneous costume party that occured later back at the townhouse?


So cute.


So debaucherous.


So weird.


So adorable.


So Nickelback Roadie.

And a shout-out to K-Dizzle, the man on a mission to make the blog, and someone who clearly earned the title of Party MVP. So fun to have him in town!

What other photo could round out the evening?

So disurbingly hot and yet so very wrong.

How Friday Nights Get Out of Control Part II: Chill Winston

Watch closely now. The leather pants are stowed away tidily in their pant-cave BUT a large disco phallus and a dozen drunk friends have arrived. Witness the mayhem:


Bride-to-be Jelena wears disco phallus with luminescent pride.


For real though, WTF is up with this photo?


During this night, I found a camera setting that looks way better for clubs and night shots. Score!


KT and D getting their shine on.


KT and The Beckstar, roommates, friends, sister-wives.


Miss Moore (as her students, whom we ran into later, call her) and I work weekends as professional bangs models.


Brandon and Ken! Ninjas of obscure pop cultural knowledge!


Party MVP K-Dizzle, faced with the complicated situation of having a best friend's wife's tongue in his ear.

How Friday Nights Get Out of Control Part I: Leather Pants!

Obviously any night where the following stars are in alignment is going to get pretty messy.

Check it:

- Jelena in town from New Zealand
- Mel in town from Norway
-Kyle in town from Sunshine Coast
-Steve with new job to celebrate...

and The Beckstar starting the evening off wearing a mindblowing pair of leather motorcycle pants. Hotness!


It is possible that in a parallel universe, this is a typical moment for Beckstar 10892.


Re-tooling and finetuning of the replicants is a full-time job.
