With a flair for dramatic oil and mixed media paintings, Carly Ivan Garcia's (CIG) work has kept the California native quite busy for a few years now.    From Miami Art Basel 09, to his current showing at Room Room Interior Art Gallery, and the upcoming Ed Harris movie (Touching Home), it seems like CIG's work is always on display.  But why not, the art speaks for itself.

HBO's latest and probably best new show about the young and the reckless delivers on all counts.  You don't even need cable to watch it. Plus, it's got an amazing opening theme song (see below).  Which, oh by the way, is a Stones Throw Records track. What's not to love.

In case you hadn't noticed, it's been ladies week all week on THL.  We hope you've enjoyed it, maybe even discovered something new.  So to close out the week, let's kick off the weekend with a couple of old school sets from one of my favorite DJs anywhere, DJ Sodie.  Here is a great Break mixset plus a solid mix of Drum and Bass from the multi-talented DJ, singer, pianist, and photographer, to get you jumping into Friday night.

"Style is an expression of individualism mixed with charisma. Fashion is something that comes after style." - John Fairchild

Style. Some of us think we have it.  Some of us wish we had it.  Some of us have no clue.  Fortunately, a few are blessed with it. Style is James Dean in 'Rebel without a Cause'.  Fashion is the American kids still jocking his style today.  Got style questions? Wily Wiley has got answers.  Ms. Wiley's insight on all things style, plus tips on apparel, fashion, flats vs heels, darks vs pastels, etc., are essential reading for the stylish and non-stylish alike.
