Pony Show opens this Friday at Part Time Studios. A collaboration between Halligan Norris, Josh Goleman and Maura Ambrose, Pony Show is described as "three great friends, who used different mediums to create one magical event." Sounds good to us.

Reward is having a busy week: stop by tomorrow for a performance by The Soft Pack, and on Friday, for the opening of Slow Wide Turns, a solo show of mechanical pencil drawings by 27-year-old artist Jason Andrew Turner.
Photographer David Mushegain's work frequently has a bit of a bohemian feel to it—albeit some, like this editorial with Devon Aoki, captures the hippy vibe in luxe designers. He's also shot modern-day gypsies like Erin Wasson and Irinia Lazareanu in beautiful barefoot style—perfect for spring.

The new video for Cold Cave's "Life Magazine," and catch them this Thursday at Mercury Lounge in NYC.

Janis Joplin was the embodiment of the 1960s: passionate, free-spirited and excessive to a fatal flaw. Her bluesy, throaty voice and powerful stage presence put her on par with male contemporaries like Jimi Hendrix, Mick Jagger and Joe Cocker, which was unprecedented for a woman in rock 'n' roll.




Forties-era beauty was all about sleek pin curls, flawless skin, and bright red lips. The look was epitomized by sirens Lauren Bacall and Rita Hayworth, and could be seen on SS10 runways such as Christian Dior. So the perfect accessory for peplums and Peter Pan-collars? The perfect pout. Shop The Golden Age.

A Place Near Here, a solo show of work by Isaac Tin Wei Lin, opens tomorrow night at Fleisher/Ollman and includes two sculptural installations: a cardboard house made to resemble bricks, which houses floor-to-ceiling prints and paintings, and a rigid-installation landscape, in addition to a gallery full of friends' photographs, on which Lin has lovingly drawn.





Slim Hawks was a model, well-known socialite and fashion plate in the 1940s and 1950s (There she is with Jimmy Stewart, above), and her legend was a big inspiration for some of our retro looks this season. Hawks was pursued by Clark Gable and had a fling with Ernest Hemingway, and Truman Capote even used her as basis for a character in his novel Answered Prayers—it wasn't a flattering portrayal. But Hawks was not the type to care what others thought, and in her autobiography, she wrote "God blessed me with a happy spirit and many other gifts. What I was not blessed with I went out and got. Sometimes the price was too high, but I've never been much of a bargain hunter." You go girl.
