On Saturday, March 29th, L'Art Projects (www.l-artprojects.com) is proud to present its inaugural exhibition Landmark - a group show of thirteen dynamic artists with work spanning painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, installation, light projection, neon and more. Each artist's oeuvre is concerned with the human relationship to the lived environment, whether it is the urban landscape or natural phenomena.

LEGALLY BLONDE at Dreyfoos School of the Arts Opens February 27!

Wicked certainly has an interesting reputation among theatergoers. Some theater fanatics love the show. Others hate it. I've always found myself somewhere in the middle. Wicked certainly has both flaws and merits, but to those who only see its flaws, I have this observation to share. Of all the long running shows currently on Broadway, there are only three that feature more than one female lead. Of those three shows, only one involves female leads who aren't merry murderesses and aren't singing ABBA tunes. So kudos to Wicked, and kudos to the touring production currently in Austin for making it easier to see the shows merits and more difficult to see the show's flaws.

I love me some Katy Perry. She has mastered the art of mixing sexy with quirky which is not an easy task. And no matter what, Perry always stays true to herself. I am absolutely in love with this Vivenne Westwood dress. It has a vintage, Stepford Wives feel but is also very modern and sultry. It hugs Perry's gorgeous figure perfectly and is giving her cleavage for days! Give me a corset, cleavage and a some draping around my stomach any day of the week and I am one happy girl.

Emma Watson is at it again. This girl knows how to make a fashion statement, push the envelope while always staying in within the classic boundaries. I know - kind of a contradiction but totally makes sense to me. Watson always sticks with classic colors and/or silhouettes but is not shy about going for it with her makeup, styling or some design in the garment. Her red Dior dress over black pants combo at the 2014 SAG Awards is a perfect example: it was chic, simple yet a totally bold choice.
