I'm still waiting for Britney to dance like she used to, but the video to her new single, "Hold It Against Me," manages to keeps you engaged in true Brit Brit style.

SOUNDS LIKE: LADY GAGA'S "BORN THIS WAY" & MADONNA'S "EXPRESS YOURSELF"

It was first brought to my attention while watching Access Hollywood that Lady Gaga has done it again!!! She has managed to create another song that sounds just someone else's song. Her new jam, "Born This Way," sounds like Madonna's "Express Yourself." Not a good move, in my opinion, since Gaga's been accused of stealing practically everything from Madonna.


LADY GAGA "BORN THIS WAY" VS MADONNA "EXPRESS YOURSELF"

STORE CLOSING: ARTIST-XCHANGE GALLERY - UPDATE

Artist Xchange


As I mentioned in an earlier post, the Artist-Xchange Gallery, in the Mission, has closed. Shortly after this announcement, I visited the gallery to pick up items I had for sale. I spoke with store manager Catherine Tacorda, and thankfully, the website will remain active. There you can buy the unique art, jewelry, pottery and other items you've come to expect from the Artist-Xchange.

LOOK FOR ME ON KOFY TV'S "DANCE PARTY!!!"

The popular San Francisco dance show, "Dance Party" is BACK on KOFY TV, and I was on the episode which first aired on February 5!!! (I hear it's on rerun, so you might be able to catch it--I'm still trying to find an online clip to post.)



I was dressed as one of the girls in the Robert Palmer videos, and plan to have some kind of theme with each show.


I love to dance, I love the 80s, and I love being on television, so it's a blast. Look for me on future episodes, starting in March!!!

MY PHOTO WAS SHORT-LISTED FOR INCLUSION IN THE SCHAMP SF GUIDE!!!


"Hi V. Alexandra de F. Szoenyi (ALEXTHEARTISTE),

I am writing to let you know that one of your photos has been short-listed for inclusion in the ninth edition of our Schmap San Francisco Guide, to be published mid-December 2009."

I relish the fact that my work can be used to help inform people about San Francisco. Unfortunately, I read this message late for submission in the latest edition, but my photo of The Cliff House will be considered for a future release, which is great!!!

KATE SPADE ALWAYS HAS THE CUTEST WINDOW DISPLAYS




For real. This is the Kate Spade window at the Westfield San Francisco Centre. The store always goes all out and full force with their windows. If there's a theme, you'll know it. It's a definite inspiration to me and a must see for any visual merchandisers or any artists for that matter.

LOOK I LOVE: OLD SCHOOL PRODUCT LABELS

I was grocery shopping at Safeway the other day and saw this adorable little box of seasoning. I live for those old school labels from brands that have been around for ages. They're colorful, ornate and give a glimpse into the past, plus they make the cutest decorative and collector's items!!!

SEEING DOUBLE: MILA KUNIS AND SARAH HYLAND



Mila Kunis and Sarah Hyland from "Modern Family" look very much alike--so much so, that Hyland dressed up as Kunis' character Jackie from "That 70s Show" for Halloween.

STORE CLOSING: ARTIST-XCHANGE GALLERY

Artist Xchange


I am SO sad to hear that the Artist-Xchange Gallery, located at 3169 16th Street, in the Mission, has closed. The owner, Scott Mitchell, and store manager Catherine Tacorda, were great to work with.

Artist-Xchange was truly a place where artists could feel supported and promoted. The first Friday of every month, they'd host an "artist opening," where artists could mingle, the public can interact with us and buy work, and everyone could enjoy a drink and live music courtesy of a DJ. I almost always got a monthly check from items I sold there, including vintage curtain tote bags, jewelry, crocheted bangles and Portable Pockets.

I'm hoping that their online site and store will stay up (will keep you posted as I learn the deets; click on the logo above to visit). I will miss the eclectic, artsy presence of the Artist-Xchange on 16th St. and in the Mission in general.

GORGEOUS GRAFFITI: EL MAC, 16TH & MISSION, SF

*second photo lightened to show detail

I saw this gorgeous piece of art on the back of a truck on 16th and Mission. You see a lot of graffiti on local delivery trucks in the City, but nothing like this. The artist's name is Miles MacGregor, a.k.a. El Mac, and his work is exquisite. El Mac paints realistic portraits, which are usually surrounded by vivid backgrounds from other talented artists such as Retna. His work can be seen around the world, and we are blessed to have some of it here in San Francisco. Homeboy is sick, y'all.



Turns out he also did this piece, on Turk and Gough, which I've admired for a long time!!! I'm officially a fan.

SEEING DOUBLE: "THE ROOMMATE" AND "SINGLE WHITE FEMALE???"

I just saw the trailer for "The Roommate" on TV today. It looks watchable, maybe even good, but I couldn't help but think of another movie that references psycho-ass roomies--"Single White Female." Let's hope "The Roommate" brings something new to the table.

REALLY RENTERIA?!?!

Edgar Renteria, former shortstop for the San Francisco Giants, and World Series MVP, has signed a one-year contract with the Cincinnati Reds. He is set to make up to $3 million, versus the $1 million, one-year contract the Giants offered Renteria, which he called "a total disrespect."


As a Colombian and rabid Giant's fan, I'm upset that Edgar Renteria is leaving the team. I understand that more money is more money, but Renteria is a fool to walk away from such a powerhouse. Hopes are high for another World Series win, and it's likely the Giants can make it to another post season. I'm sad that the only Colombian has left, and the once hero is now looked upon with disdain. Where is his sense of loyalty?!?! What the heck am I supposed to do with my Renteria World Series MVP T-shirt now?!?!

HOW CUTE IS THIS?!?! BABY CHRISTMAS TREE

I saw this adorable mini Christmas tree on 16th and Church while I was out walking yesterday. It features all the fullness and style of a 6 foot tree, in a shrunken, apartment-friendly version. Too cute.
