PopCornucopia

PopCornucopia is all about free associative pop culture tidbits as they strike my fancy, just like kernels of corn exploding into fullness at a random and unpredictable pace. And of course, the cornucopia is the horn of plenty.

I'm Ver-Klimt




Wowza! Check out my marvelously fierce friend Emily Kenney's modeling debut.

She and I met during our stints as Rotary scholars in Cape Town and we shared many experiences together. The woman is, as you can see beautiful inside and out. She's big on justice and transformation issues in post-conflict societies, whooping arse and taking names doing some great work at the Open Society Institute. I heart you Em K, WAY TO GO!

If you look at the website, you'll notice the designer she modeled for used to work for several others, including Anna Sui, who's worked with Lily Cole, the supermodel I think Emily evokes so closely here. I think she's reminiscent of Gustav Klimt's porcelain-skinned muses, don't you? It totally looks like a cool visual mash-up of his paintings and 2046 in monochrome.
