I’m always on the lookout for good role models, but I rarely ever find them. Yesterday I came across this video of Oakland based artist Monica Canilao. Seriously, I want to be her. She is amazing and talented and hot and makes amazing things out of arguably nothing at all. I’m so jealous. I’ve been super interested in dwellings and shanties and indian head dresses and gardening and things that are broken, and she incorporates it all into her life. Seriously major art crush. Develop your own by watching below!
So amazing.
My friend Sean just called and suggested we start our journey towards world domination, and/or doing whatever we want all the time. I totally agree. We were thinking of having a reality TV show. It will be kind of like a cross between the Kardashians’, The Hills (without the vapid drama), and Colorsplash on HGTV. We will be really talented at doing really amazing things, making art and food, and having the most elaborate parties. We are innovative, fearless, cultural producers who will spend other people’s money and make the world measurably more exciting and fun. We will also throw in projects people can do at home. It will be a reality tv show about possibilities realized.
In other news, I’ve been making a lot of pie recently. I think I’ve almost got the crust down, though I still need a pastry blender. Last night was vegetable pie with tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, onions, summer squash, mushrooms and goat cheese. YUM!

I want to eat that pie. And come to San Fransisco for a Gill and Ari day. Hugs. And I’ll produce your reality show.
Oh please come here. I’ve been trying to recreate our French dinner parties but it’s not quite the same without you, amazing woman!
