So today, in honor of my 666th post and life's incredibly cool chicks, today's installment pays tribute to the incredibly cool chick artist Swoon who sailed into Venice today on boats made of what might otherwise be known as trash. She and a crew of some of my favorite New Yorkers built the boats in Slovenia where they set sail, uninvited, for the (otherwise pretty dull if you ask me) Venice Biennial, docking and doing performances along the way. I am inspired by anyone unafraid to be perverse and leading an absolutely DIY life...aka balls of steel. Respect.
Check out Swoon's "Swimming Cities" projects here and meet the crew here...

Yar matey - I say the next boondoggle should be on the floating city. But will there be Italian lemony fizzy goodness and deviled eggs? That is the question.
OMG--how freakin cool is that? I have an old friend who I haven't heard from in wayyyyy too long who had made a vessel out of garbage and toured around the Atlantic coast in it...I think they also sailed down the Mississippi. thanks for reminding me.
