FILMS The S From Hell is a short documentary-cum-horror film about the scariest corporate symbol in history - The 1964 Screen Gems logo, aka ‘The S From Hell.’Looks like a pretty interesting concept.
FINDINGS There’s a new fleet of 35 cabs in Mexico’s colonial city of Puebla that’s driven exclusively by women and don’t stop for men. The cabs cater especially to those tired of leering male drivers and comes with a beauty kit, a GPS system and an alarm button. Woohoo…girl power!
FILM This film is about a fashionable contemporary art gallerist in Chelsea, New York who falls for a brooding new music composer in a comic take on the state of contemporary art. Check out the trailer. Looks like it’ll be pretty interesting.
FILMS Seems like there has been a trend in films about fashion lately. Coco Before Chanel is a film featuring Audrey Tautou about the life and passions of Coco Chanel. Many people spend thousands of dollars on luxury branded purses, however, often times they forget that there’s a passionate artist behind a logo.

FILMS I’m familiar with O’Keeffe’s paintings. However, I really don’t know much about her as a person…only that she lived to age 99!! Lifetime will be featuring a movie about her life September 19th at 9pm. Should be interesting. Conveniently, the SFMOMA is having an O’Keeffee exhibit.
