Paul Lung and his pencil
From Beautiful Life:
"It’s hard to believe but these pictures are not photos but pencil
drawings.
Their creator is 38-year-old Hong Kong graphic artist Paul Lung.
A
0.5 mm technical pencil and A2 paper are all he uses.
He doesn’t use an eraser and spends up to 60 hours sketching
out his pictures.
As he often admits, people do not believe him
and he
has to make videos of his work
to prove that these art works are not
photographs."

Use your illusion dress
Wrote Armand Limnander in yesterday's New York Times "T" magazine, "Backstage after their spring show, the designers Viktor & Rolf explained that because of the credit crunch, they had decided to 'crunch their couture' — literally, burrowing tunnels and cutting away slices in their extravagent tulle dresses. In the spirit of fashion's new D.I.Y. ethos, they offered this simple guide to reproducing their results. Have fun."
1. Purchase 149 yards of fine tulle for the skirt, 44 yards of stiffer tulle for the underskirt and 2.3 miles of very thin yarn, which you will use to sew the garment by hand.
2. Dye the tulle pale green.
3. Create a stiff black inner crinoline-like structure, measured to your body, using camel's hair and boning, in the shape of the final skirt with a cutout strip below the hips.
4. Build up the skirt, gathering the tulle layer by layer, lightly hand-stitching the layers together. Work toward a solid shape that is airy and light; fine-tune the volume. Use sharp, slim scissors to cut a perfectly straight and uniform horizontal swath in the tulle to match the cutout in the structure underneath.
5. Move on to the bodice, which you should fashion to your body using metal boning and chiffon. Hand-embroider 547 white sequins onto the front panel.
6. Attach the skirt to the bodice.
7. You're done! And it only took 163 hours.
Everybody Knows (Wo)Man!!!!
He's an effing legend!!!
Yesterday, we posted some pictures sent to us of our new obsession: (Wo)Man, an amazing wannabe tranny, who enjoys riding his banana seat around Bevelry Hills with his banana out!
Well, apparently, our incredible Perezilcious readers have seen him out and about and sent us these PHENOMENAL pictures of (Wo)Man working the streets of El Lay. Some saw him working the corners of West Hollywood on Halloween, while others caught a glimpse of his coin slot while driving in Beverly Hills.
The man can wear a G-String like no other we've seen!!! And how the hell is he able to hold everything in with what appears to be a long strip of masking tape???
