Doll Human cloning! I'm in.

A doll company can replicate an exact face on a doll. Whoa! Like it? Of course this is not totally new. When I was little and we lived in Yokohama, Japan we had Kokeshi dolls that had our faces painted on by an artist. My kimono was pink. 

Do you remember the story when my daughter, My Assistant went to her Iranian pals house from Cal and met her mother? The Mother asked what I did and my daughter replied, "she makes scenes with little dolls". The mother who spoke limited English replied mystified, "Like Voo Doo?"   

Well with these dolls, Wikens practice your skills. CM

What are you doing next Saturday?

If you don't know Solano Avenue, you don't know your East Bay.

Half in Berkeley and half in Albany it is the hippest neighborhood of California bungalows, collection of restaurants and stores and galleries. And we have a new addition to announce.

           The Doll's House, which you can find more about at           
                              www.thedollshouseco.com

                                 By the old Oaks Theater

                      In a side alley is the new community space called Open Fine Art Gallery. It is an  Event Space, Gallery, hosts Meetups and holds classes. AND has the Doll's Houses of Naomi Kamiya

           Reminds me of this New Yorker cover, July 30, 2007.

Just so you don't make the same mistake...I

I did... I put "Boulle" in all my search engines.
It turns out 

Mr. Pierre Boulle wrote this book, Planet of the Apes. 

Now I get notified everytime it appears for sale. Hmm. How to fix. Shrug, CM

If you watched the opening season of Mad Men did you see the mini commercial???

 There I was soaking up all the mid century design and along came a commercial using mini furniture.

Pretty funny in a show about an innovative ad firm.

The plot was a guy walks up to his buddies in the park who were enjoying a ball game on tv.

 

 Which was his cell phone sitting on a miniature piece of living room furniture.

He took his nachos out of a mini stove.

 And opened his mini refrigerator to toss his buddy a mini can of beer!

l

Illustrating how the picture on his cell phone was as good as being in his own livingroom.

 

OK! Good add, point made by 1 800 watch tv. Made me sit up and notice. Would love to see the guy pitching that one...

What does this remind me of? A 2009 post I did of Mitchymoo's work from flickr.

Someone else used cellphones as tvs. Do you remember who? Hmmm I think PDR made an ipod station that looked like a tv wall unit, I better go check. 

 Thanks, CM
