!! OMG, she's having a melt-down: HK119's 'Iceberg' !!
Looking like Artemis Bell in a pair of mime gloves, Finnish performance artist Heidi Kilpeläinen embodies the iceberg she sings about: like the iceberg she's big, she's scary, and she would kill a boat full of people in the middle of the night if you accidentally bumped into her ass on the dancefloor.
"Im a little iceberg, floating towards you"
_I have to say Heidi you are so scaring me right now with your CARDBOARD CUTOUT WHITE-EMMENTAL-CHEESE-SLICE-CROWN
I can't tell whether she's just getting tired of prancercising at 4.00 or if she's actually having a full on middle-aged melt-down. Go buy her album before she looses it !

!! OMG, colouring [look-] book: Christian Grib in 'Ethnicolour' !!
Daniel Rodrigues' editorial 'Ethnicolour' brings to mind a multicoloured multitude of 80s icons:
Woolen Devo, amber-orange Leigh Bowery [& makeup], a neonised Laurie Anderson's 'Big Science'.
You can catch the WOOLEN WUNDERWEARS by Rebel Yuths after the jump where you can also seek the CABLEKNIT SNUGGIE and a Bugs Bunny carrot prop plus b-ball boots a la SpaceJam '96.

!! OMG, "tearing down that bitch of a bearing wall": Emma Finn's 'For Everything to Go Exactly as Planned' !!
ECA artist Emma Finn used to study Psych and then worked in mental health, which is obvious as her artwork is flipping off-it's-nutty-rocker!
"I'm drawn to film because it is a curious place regarding dimensions. It's sometimes referred to as the 'fourth dimension' because it contains time but it often appears to us on a flat 2D plane, on a screen."
In her above video piece entitled 'For Everything to Go Exactly as Planned', what appears to be an on-site planning meeting takes place between three workers, as narrated by a pendulating wrecking ball.
Much discussion and gesturing ensues as the executives look to make a difficult consensus which would have been a lot quicker had Alaska been there, because she "takes her job very seriously [and] by God there better not be any bullshit"!

!! OMG, oily skin treatment: The Vein's 'Magma' !!
Oh gees, I'd only just forgotten The Nome King from 'Return to Oz' had ever happened to my eyes and only through years of rearing different breeds of ROCK-PETS had I started to trust sedimentary formations with faces, and now this horror flick turns up in my inbox.
The Vein's new video explores oily magmarbling on a scale of fissured facial snow-scapes and meandering icy river routes.
I'm just hoping the next video doesn't explore The Wheelers!

!! OMG, that's knot knitwear: Philli Wood's Westminster BA '13 collection !!
Philli Wood's BA collection plays with flat cable knit print on neon peachy and pinky sporting nylons, with the silhouettes oversized down to the way-thicker-than-is-practical rubber tie-strings...I can just imagine trying to synch these garments in at the waist you would need all number of burly seafarers to tandem yank the rubber drawstrings..."and HAAAAUL and HAAAAUL", some guy beating a drum to keep them in time!
The colours, layering and VOLUMINOUS EXTREMES are so fun with this collection, including a winged-chiffon breazy top [after the jump] blown up to hang down to the knee and make the model look like one of those PEACHY BEACHY DANCING BABY STINGRAY!

!! OMG, New Yorkshire Terriors: HSNY's doggie portfolio !!
Check out Elmer here, he has a hollowed-out plaster cast carrot-colour-combo dildo for a leg, want to adopt him? Personally I'm looking simply to adopt his look...on me.
New York's Humane Society obviously has a faggle-rocker on doggie-styling duties because these fellas are adorned with all sorts of kinds of neck a-cute-trements.
There were some shots taken of some woof looking dogs also in need of homes and with normal bare necks but that's just not as fun or cute as having dogs with air hostess side-tie cravats and CRICKET PLEASANTRY BOW TIES, and you are NOT going to get adopted without the perfect spring-summer upper-spinal embellishment.
Follow the jump to see more of Richard Phibbs' puppy portfolio.

!! OMG, fantasmical furry fascinations: Maiko Takeda's RCA millinery collection !!
Inspired by the "futuristic mood" of Philipp Glass and Robert Wilson's opera 'Einstein on the Beach', Maiko Takeda's Royal College of Art 2013 millinery collection comprised of caterpiller-like rainbow facial fans and sea urchin-esque acrylic 'schoodies' and fascinators:
"I wanted to create ethereal experiences for the wearer through the pieces. Through the experiment process, I developed the technique to create a visual effect of intangible aura."
Follow the jump to view the remainder of Takeda's plastic fun furry facial fantasies.

!! OMG, Mr Potato Heads: Philip Haas' 'Four Seasons' !!
I remember studying Renaissance painter Guiseppe Arcimboldo in grade 4; we looked at his veggie-head paintings and then created our own version, of which mine was a voluptuous auntie-pantie with oranges for tits. Needless to say I got in trouble with my teacher -Mr Hollywood [despite the name, not a glamourpuss at all]- who believed it to be rude and inappropriate..."but it's art" I screamed, "I'm an artist and I appreciate the human form" I yelled from my 9-year-old face...of course I got into trouble for screaming [not painting] and my point went out the classroom window...what a tit of a teacher though, what a blooming prune prude.
Well fellow misunderstood child adult artist Philip Haas also appreciates the vegetative human form and has recreated Arcimboldo's painting quartet 'Four Seasons' in resin and fibreglass sculptural form for The New York Botanical Garden.
Jump below to see all four of his seasonal 15 foot potato heads, and if you're passing through, they will be on display until the end of October. I'm hoping if I head that way that Mr Winter Head pops up on my Grindr because I totally want to DT THAT TWIGGY DADDY HEAD!
