Pebbles van Peebles’ Top Ten of ‘09

Tuesday, December 15th, 2009

2009. What a year, the end of decade. A big ol’ mess and a big ol’ party. This was a weird one, from lots of insane, fun fashion, to a health care mess and no money all around we at least had fun poking fun. Octomom, Sarah Palin’s book, Tiger Woods, lots of loss and Zach Galifinakis. We seemed to have the best luck laughing at ourselves and keeping it humble. So, in that vein, let’s dive in, fashion first and see what we come up with. Hop along and let’s see where we end up. Look out, ’10!!!

…

Jeremy Scott’s Flintstones Collection

Anytime you can dress in Jeremy Scott and pay hommage to the one, the only, moi, that’s a win/win. But seriously, this was a great, fun and silly collection by one of my favorite designers.

C’Mon Son!!

And speaking of me, I had to include one of my absolute favorite things of 2009/one of the most useable phrases of the year… “C’mon Son!” Power 105 resident and Yo, MTV Raps alum, Ed Lover uses a cardboard sign better than the guy on 14th street who claims his family was killed by ninjas (you know him). From Young Bird to Tiger Woods, from Tila Tequila to the balloon boy, Ed Lover knows exactly who to rag on and when to throw up his sign. For future reference, most of my popular culture news comes from this man alone (to be fair, Michael K or DListed is my other OG source).

A morir by Kerin Rose

Meanwhile Cottontail fam, and my own platonic hand holder and best friend Kerin Rose, has pretty much taken the eyewear world by storm this year. In case you haven’t seen her magnanimous work on the eyes of New York’s glitterati and on her own fine self, you may have seen them on a TV, in a magazine or in a live show near you. Her creations have graced the faces of Rihanna, Mariah Carey, Katy Perry, Snoop Dogg and Lady Gaga.

Lady Gaga

Speaking of Lady Gaga, this really was her year, wasn’t it? Her cray cray latex ass was everywhere, from playing at suicide at the VMAs, to getting caught in a bad romance, wearing a sparking metal brassiere and meeting the queen of England with tranny make up on. No matter how you feel about Ms. Gaga, you have to give respect for the gurrr’s hustle. Worrrrk.

Jay Z’s Empire State of Mind

The song heard most often out of open windows while walking own the street? Check. The soundtrack to Lil’ Mama’s forever ingrained moment of insane disgrace? Check. The anthem of 2009? Big ol’ bold check. Well played, Jay, well played.

Michael Jackson

The day Michael passed has already become a signpost of our generation, with people comparing stories of where they were when they heard the news, what they did that night and how they celebrated the life of one of a handful of true legends. We were all fortunate to have been blessed by his talents and tender heart. We miss you.

DJ AM

And, although the summer of 2009 was a hard time on lots of us, as we lost so many who were dear to us, we remember another shining light, Adam Goldstein. Not only a trailblazer but a man who cared about community and helping those in need. A friend, an inspiration and a pure hearted person, you left us too soon.

District 9

And you thought prawns were just delicious over grits with bacon. Think again! They are towering alien freaks, taking over the slums of South Africa, against their will, teaching their children good morals while devouring cat food and using weapons cooler than every pimply-faced tweenage Star Wars fan could imagine. This was an eye-popping gem and I talked about it for days after it was over. Well, played, Peter Jackson, you sly fox, you.

Major Lazer

Never has the act of “daggering” been so closely associated with sloppy Adult Swim fans who enjoy a good public access spoof. If you have no idea what I’m talking about you should probably get involved with Tim & Eric, Awesome Show, Great Job, or maybe just Eric Warheim’s “Pon di Floor” video. Or maybe just Diplo and Switch.

Roxy’s Playhouse

Oh, and talking about Diplo reminds me of the illest new venue/party of the year in Brooklyn at Roxy’s very own Roxy’s Playhouse. Diplo, Drama and Eli Escobar DJ’d and Maluca performed and if you weren’t there, then shucks, I guess you’ll have to wait till something this insane pops off next year. Or you could just watch Tone’s video of it here. Either way, enjoy and Happy New Year, rabbittos!!

Nadja does Basel

Tuesday, December 15th, 2009

I’m very happy my friend Roxy asked me to report for all you bunnies from Art Basel. It motivated me to go to as many exhibitions as possible instead of just party down in Miami, the party’s were sick btw.

On the first day of Art Basel I met up with my friend Florian Böhm from Munich, a very talented photographer. A gallery was showing his work so I was very happy he was in town. Anyway, we had brunch and he gave me an invitation for the Design Miami. The Design Miami was in a very small tent but they showed nice works of Maarten Bass, an incredible designer from the Netherlands. He won the Design Award 2009 for this chair.

I really liked his so called “Drawer.”

It looks like a spaceship has landed on planet earth.

After that Kenise, is my oldest friend in NY, and I went to see the Wynwood Walls.

Shepard Fairey had a huge wall space which was stunning. I love him so much. He has reached world wide attention since he drew Obama during the 2008 election. The public nature of his artwork, on walls, street signs, T-shirts and in various ad campaigns, allows anyone to see it. On his website http://obeygiant.com/, he sells his prints, shirts, books and stickers at affordable prices. Which is rare in contemporary art.

At the Wynwood Walls I then spotted ‘YONE‘ Yasumasa Yonehara a well known Japanese photographer and art director, I adore his work so much, I went up to him and said hi. He was very friendly and amazed I recognized him, we talked and he gave me a flyer of his exhibition and said I should come:)

I was even more excited, because I didn’t even know he was showing his work.

My friends from Berlin were in town for Art Basel they run the monthly event ‘THE BROKEN HEARTS CLUB‘. They throw parties in Berlin, for Paris and Berlin Fashion Week, Stockholm, Miami and it’s always something special. They’ve got themed parties like ‘the Mask Ball’ or ‘Chinese Ball’ where all the fabulous freaks come out and dress up. The idea behind The Broken Hearts club is that friends, DJs, designers and drtists play their favorite love songs all night.

The party was at 721 Bar on South Beach and Peaches was the guest of the night. It was a special karaoke performance by Peaches and she seriously killed it the place was packed.

On the next day I went to check out Yone’s exhibit it was in an old fashioned Miami Motel in 2 rooms, I loved the atmosphere right away.

I saw his work all over blogs, French press as well as in Self Service and lots of other magazines and I thought he did the American Apparel ads. When I asked him about it he told me that American Apparel was interested in him doing the ads so he met up with “The Chief” and he took photos of Yone’s portfolio of every single image. Soon his style was copied by American Apparel and yet they never hired Yone. I was literally shocked! I asked him about his images and which camera he uses, he then pulled out a small FujiFilm Polaroid Camera and said, I take pictures with this and then blow ‘em up!

If you got curious read his interview here.

That night we were pretty pretty busy partying first we went to see Kid Sister at the Delano. She killed it of course, Rocking Kerin Rose’s Sabotage Glasses.

I was so busy dancing I couldn’t get a straight shot. Her dancers rocked golden Pantomime masks- AMAZING.

After we were all hyped up by Kid Sister’s performance we went straight over to the Raleigh Hotel where I met up with Alina, Moonie and Tatiana. Junior Sanchez and Atekniq threw a rooftop party. It was exactly what I expected to be an amazing house party.

After that we wanted to rave some more, since I peeked in the Club Le Baron the night before, we all headed over to the Delano again. Le Baron is a club in Paris. I’ve been there twice and it’s so Parisien, absolutely lovely. André the owner, who did the Le Paris Paris Club and runs the amazing Hotel Amour, opened up ‘the little brother’ the Club Le Baron just for Art Basel. As we headed over we ran into SO ME the Art Brain of the Ed Banger Crew. We hung out and had an amazing night, danced a lot. I would say we danced into the morning.

After a looooong nap I met up with Alina and we all headed downtown to see the Pulse Art Fair, it was just too much good art to all be taken in, the thing is with big art fairs you are so busy with how much is around that you can’t really enjoy it, but I found some nice things. Like Glitter Vinyl how awesome is that!

I especially loved the neon lighted books too.

We all wanted to check out Photo Miami as well but then this huge cloud of frightening hurricane gray came over us.

It was only a few hours away until Alina’s 30th Birthday, her friend managed to put us on the list for David La Chapelle’s exhibition after party at the Raleigh Hotel poolside. It was rad, posh, overwhelming, A,B and C celebrities freaks, gallerists and party people all came together. They served free everything, it was amazing. They even had a live jazz band and old fashioned dressed swimmers who performed.

After that it was another long night out, we headed over to Downtown where we celebrated Alina’s 30th Birthday at the Ghostly International 10th Anniversary at the White Room. I sadly ran out of battery so no pics from there.
That was about it! I must say Miami rules hard, the weather, the people, the food the parties. It was a trip I will never forget.

Can’t wait till WMC 2010!
