Here is the “artwork” that was mistaken for trash and thrown away by some workman helping Courtney Love<\/strong> to move. It’s valued at $11,000 and Courtney is said to be furious.<\/p>\n

So am I! \u00a0 The moving guy deserves an award of some kind. This Art looks like a dead bird in a matchbox….because that’s what it is! \u00a0 Christ!<\/p>\n

The celebrated young artist is Polly Morgan<\/strong>, whose stuff you can see here<\/a>, but only on an empty stomach. Call me a philistine, but art made from dead animals is just bullshit, with all due or undue respect to Damien Hirst. Make it go away!<\/p>\n

On the same topic, sort of, is the Todd Selby Shop<\/a> at Collete, where you can get a dead mouse that’s been died yellow for around $500, or a collection of old business cards for $154. Or how about a creepy thriftshop toy for $85?<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a> $\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n

So pretentious was The Selby Shop that I felt it my duty to find out who Todd Selby<\/a> is. That’s how much I don’t know what’s hip, even though god knows I try!<\/p>\n

Todd Selby<\/strong> is a photographer who has taken photos of his friends (all “Creatives,” a word that is sickening enough on its own) in their very hip Living Spaces. Among these photos, you can find the ever-present Erin Wasson<\/strong>, and a whole slew of arty people like this couple:<\/p>\n

It’s stuff like this that makes me too enraged and depressed to go on living. I know I should just ignore it, but I feel like it’s crying out to be scorned and vilified! Quoting Hillel the Elder<\/a>, “If not I, who? If not now, when?”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
