Simphiwe Ndzube (South African, b. 1990), Even I Exist, 2015. Acrylic on card, 47 x 67.5 cm.
From Lala Albert’s elaborate night-swimming ghost-ritual, available here as an installment of Floating World’s post-Diamond single-artist newspaper series.
Incidentally, her older Diamond contribution “Budding” might be even better.
So….this happened. Still not able to sleep as I take this all in. I’ve been wanting see this band perform live since I was in high school and today that dream came true. It was a surreal experience seeing my favourite musicians up on stage performing songs that I’ve listened to on repeat for years. @thestrokes did not disappoint. The energy from the crowd being right at the front was electrifying. The only thing that was missing is that the sound could have been better for us folks right at the front. Could not hear Julian’s vocals properly. I’m trying to not let that take this experience away from me. I have my brothers’ videos who were seated at the back to relive the experience lol.
P.S. love you @alberthammondjr . Pls give me your yellow jacket.

Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure photoshoot/homage by Shiseido hair and make-up artist Tadashi Harada.
A big fan of Hirohiko Araki’s JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure manga series (as well as the Araki’s previous work, Baoh), Harada said that he grew up reading the JoJo manga series pretty much “in real-time” as it was being serialised in Shueisha’s Weekly Shounen Jump magazine, and that he was greatly inspired by the hairstyles, fashion, and poses as seen in the manga series.
He was so inspired that, as a beautician or make-up artist, he wanted to see what he could do if he were to apply his skills to recreating those iconic looks from the manga series in a way that would make sense in reality (quote via sgcafe.com).
