I’m not the most fashionable guy, but I enjoy an occasional episode of Project Runway. BA Fashion Week happens twice a year, once per season. (Are there four seasons of fashion or just two?) Anyway, the coming season here is Spring and BAFweek is the place to see all the new clothes, and the beautiful people looking at all the new clothes. Most of the experience of BAFweek is waiting in long lines which meander around advertising kiosks, waiting to get into the runway shows. The one runway show I saw was by Cora Groppo, a designer from Buenos Aires, who presented her vision of spring with a lot of beige fabric and skinny models with wet hair. The part of the show that I enjoyed most was the music that accompanied the clothes, a live violinist and a drummer playing along with some ambient techno. It was a good time.

TippyToe & Trouble is a toy store in Provincetown, MA. I recently made a basic website for them, which is still in development. Thanks to my friend Crystal who helped me think of the concept. Click the image above to visit the site.

There’s always something cool/fun/trendy to do in Buenos Aires. Brett told me about the Urban Art Festival, so I was excited because I love the street art here. Some very talented kids live in this city, and the graffiti is more art than property damage.
I checked out the fest with Crystal on Saturday, and went back again on Sunday with more friends. We saw lots of cool art, a little breakdancing, interesting people watching. There were films (We saw part of one about Banksy where he goes to dinner at Joan Crawford’s house), a skateboarding competition, DJ’s, etc. On Sunday night a band finished off the festivites, called Él Mató a un Policía Motorizado (He killed a bike-cop). And they were pretty good.
Oh, and I also met a guy with home-made pants that told me about a good place to get my hair cut. So all in all it was a good time.
