Pink taxi
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!
Untitled the movie
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.
Coco before chanel
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. If you’re interested in watching more films on fashion check out:

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.
Partly cloudy
FILMS Partly Cloudy is Pixar’s new short film and I think it might just be my favorite Pixar short…it’s a tie between this and Geri’s Game.
Objectified
FILMS I just came back from watching Objectified. I really enjoyed the way the film was shot and pieced together. The flow from one topic to another was very well thought out. However, I can’t pinpoint why but I still think I enjoyed Helvetica a little more.
Amos Kennedy
FILM This is a short film that features the work of Amos Kennedy, a brilliant letterpress printer in Alabama who’s fun personality is filled with spirit and humor. Through his colorful posters layered with strong quotes, Amos uses his art to bring complicated issues such as race and gender into the forefront.
