I just got the last issue in the mail today. I see their "destination" feature is on Austin. Please read it, come for SXSW and buy stuff. Stuff is cheaper here than in NEw York.
god. no. please, again for the love of god not mark rothko, modern art's most notorious suicide - the only interesting thing about rothko is that old saw about how he ran into andy warhol on a street corner in soho and recoiled in horror, the old world meeting the new - for the love of christ when will people stop picking a notorious depressive who did the same damn painting... for YEARS.. as their favorite modernish artist, just because his paintings are colorful, recognizable and have no subtext until you read his biography? please, just make it stop
that being said - do you think smith will paint the white house, pink? no?
His unique talent is marrying Old World pedigree with a clean Californian sensibility. Think about what a grand English country house might look like if it were owned by a beach-loving movie executive who grew up worshipping the studios, and you get the idea.
This reminds me of the time I went to the Whitney to see a Terrence Koh exhibit that the Whitney described as combining the baroque and the minimalist. Based on that experience, I think its pretty likely that the Lincoln Bedroom will soon look like this:

That said, it would be kinda funny to take these photos and add "Where to buy" style captions with product names and prices.

Michael Smith (self-important douchebag)
Charlotte Moss (NYC interior designer; kind of a nice woman, but a snob)
Thom Filicia (good guy; loses weight with the "pickle diet" he invented. If you smell garlic and dill, you know he's nearby and hungry.)
Deb Needleman (smart, funny--but a constant conniver and vicious gossip)
William Yeoward (Brit dealer in overpriced decorating crap; charming con man)
Celerie Kembel (interior designer; dessicated spawn of Palm Beach; retard)
Had to work at a shelter mag for a time (with Deb also on staff) so I know this junk.
