behind every good font is a good designer.

the genius behind the glorious moonrise kingdom font is san francisco based "letterer, illustrator, and crazy cat lady" jessica hische. the dreamy, hand-hewn lettering was inspired by ed benguiat’s edwardian script, but eventually grew into a font all its own.

and the best news is...the font will be available for purchase next year! yes - you, too, can craft your own title card similar to that of wes anderson, bill murray, and tilda swinton. camp's in session!

hint: i do not consider the ladies the "trick" part of this equation.

happy halloween, kittens! enjoys the seances.

this past weekend, i boogied on down to the cinerama dome for a special screening of the 1976 sci-fi feast -- logan's run.

in the film, citizens of a utopian society live a life of complete hedonistic pleasure (and awesome fashion) until they turn 30-years-old. upon turning 30, a blinking red crystal on the palm indicates your time is up and it's time to "renew" (aka die) in a public ritual known as "carrousel." if you don't want to die, you can run, but most likely you'll be hunted down by a sandman.

go for the premise, but stay for the fashion and production design. it's a feast of bubble decor, feathered hair, bra-less babes, spontaneous orgies, disco dudes, farrah fawcett, and michael york in a kimono to die for.

oh, and the film is social commentary on over-population (in case you were wondering).

kittens, the fine folks at the criterion collection released the cover art for the various books and magazines featured throughout the royal tenenbaums film.

perhaps one day, actual text will grace the pages within and we'll be treated to a performance of margot tenenbaum's play "erotic transference."

you know i'll be front row center.

{see all of the RT covers at criterion.}

kittens, we've all fantasized about mad men extending into the '70s, haven't we?

and, when we imagine a world with don draper donning polyester and joan dancing disco, we probably picture our darling pete peddling porn. with smut 'stache in tow and robe unfurled, mr. campbell has got the goods for raunchy, lucrative wares.

he's a mad man, indeed, and he looks damn good while doing it.

artist beth matthews designed the wes anderson film color palette (above) to illustrate the filmmaker's signature hues across six of his films.

despite the fact she spelled darjeeling incorrectly, it's pretty fantastic.

i always thought I was a tenenbaum, but according to this, i'm more of a fantastic mr. fox!

confession: my first concert was KISS. i was in the 5th grade and wore a feathered roach clip in my hair.

on that night, i developed a deep appreciation for loud music, glitter platform shoes, men in eyeliner, and of course...levitating drum kits.

it's catnip for the soul.
