Midday Muse: Everyday Art

CasaSugar — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 12:00:07 PDT

French photographer JR is known for his political art installations, but that doesn't mean every picture he captures is rife with controversial content. Sometimes, the message is more subtle. While JR may simply be showing us the gorgeous colors and patterns of the clothing on this line in Monrovia, Liberia, I, of course, will use the image to urge you to create your own fabric art installation in your backyard - on your clothesline.

Photos on Impoverished Houses Show Women Are Heroes

LibertySugar — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 03:00:56 PDT

The Morro da Providencia favela is one of Rio de Janeiro's most violent neighborhoods. A French photographer named JR went to the Brazilian neighborhood to take pictures of women related to the victims of violent clashes between police and drug traffickers. He then placed the pictures on the facades of the houses as part of his global project called "Women Are Heroes." By shooting women in their daily lives and posting them on the walls of their country, he hopes to reveal female dignity.

JR has brought his project to Sudan, Sierra Leon, Kenya, and Liberia, and will soon visit India, Cambodia, Laos, and Morocco. Through his work, he believes the story of these women will travel around the world. He says, "We went to see women who had struggle in their lives. When you hear the story you're like woah, maybe the person is dead inside. But then when you ask her to do faces, then you can see life."

Mini Me: Harry Connick, Jr., Georgia and Sarah

LilSugar — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 09:00:38 PST

Crooner Harry Connick, Jr. and his daughters, Georgia, 11 and Sarah, 10 caught some hoops over the weekend.

The trio attended the NBA All-Star Saturday Night at the New Orleans Arena. Dressed casually in denim, leggings and tees, the fresh faced brunette beauties look just as much like their handsome actor dad as they do their model mum, Jill Goodacre.

The music man and his wife also have a 5-year-old daughter, Charlotte. And, there certainly is no shortage of talent in this family's genes.

Allie Merriam — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 18:38:52 PST

Gwyneth Paltrow hung out backstage at this evening's Grammy Awards in LA. She's on the long list of stars who will present an honor during the ceremony, and she'll take the stage in her cutout Stella McCartney gown. Gwyneth hit the Grammys with her husband Chris Martin. His band, Coldplay, starred in one of the evening's most anticipated performances when they teamed up with Rihanna. It's a big night for Chris and his group, since they were nominated in three categories. Gwyneth has a long history with the Grammys. Last year, Gwyneth sang "Forget You" with CeeLo Green. She presented at the 2009 show, and was actually nominated that year for an audio book she recorded based on the Bill Martin, Jr. children's books.

Check Out the Latest Trailer For The Avengers!

Becky Kirsch — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 07:47:06 PST

The Super Bowl wouldn't be complete without some blockbuster movie trailers, and this year's big game came complete with a fresh look at The Avengers. This spot is short and sweet, mostly focusing on seeing the team assemble and prepare for epic battling. Though the first Avengers trailer is more satisfying and in-depth, this little teaser is keeping us excited for the film's Summer release. Plus, we get a much better look at The Hulk (who actually looks pretty similar to the big green guy we saw in the Ed Norton movie.)
