This is Vanessa's personal tumblrzine, for family and friends everywhere. I like all sorts of stuff, and I like to share.
If you'd like to see my work work, skip on over to www.vanessaholden.com.
In my real life you can find me at vanessaholden[at]mac[dot]com; in studios and meetings & offices quite (but not too) often; most happily at the beach; at Pearl Paint buying stuff for a project; at La Colombe or The Adore, & sometimes (just quietly) at Beard Papa, but then I don't like to talk about that particular addiction.

Just watched Across The Universe. Don’t ask. But damn The Beatles wrote a lotta lotta great songs.
One Light N'Stormy please
Combine as much Reed’s Original Jamaican Style Ginger Brew with as much Pyrat rum as you like over ice. Couple slices of lime + a tiny splash of bitters. Hello sunshine! You’re so welcome.
Hells yes! Kenji Toma does dessert in the new bon appetit: me likeeee … pass the spoon …
Very happy accident this afternoon: happening upon Dunderdon on Howard St - they closed up on Lafayette months ago, and I thought they were gone for good, but they’re back, in a great, much quieter, space. The stuff is so great: APC-esque, more pared down, but not so stupidly $$. Love love love, esp. for the boys.“Honest, simple designs are timeless. Our products should represent the highest craftsmanship and innovation, while never compromising on fit and style. We respect the past, but we don’t rely on it.”

Home Delivery: Fabricating the Modern Dwelling is both a survey of the past, present and future of the prefabricated home and a building project on the Museum’s vacant west lot. Not since the mid-century House in the Garden series has MoMA built occupiable model buildings to demonstrate contemporary issues to the public.
E-x-c-i-t-e-d! Our invite just arrived for the opening night for Jeremy’s exhibit at MOMA: this microsite has a journal of construction and everything - very cool. He’s been working on this for months: it’s going to be amazing.
I’m loving these experiments by Tim Hodkinson: invented by numbers and machines, but surprisingly organic and lovely. Want.
» Permanent Vacation
So Burton has produced this ‘behind-the-scenes’ TV series - about snowboarders + photographers and the myth of the permanent vacation these guys are on. Jeff has done a bunch of voiceovers for it: I love how he sounds exactly like he really is in this teaser (seriously, the guy is more psyched about his life than most people I know, and can just as easily get you psyched about yours, too), and I’m wondering who is going to air it here? And when?
