You don't have to be a Rockefeller to Collect Art
Lately, I’ve been addicted to my NetFlix on Demand. And this week’s movie of choice was HERB & DOROTHY. HERB & DOROTHY tells the extraordinary story of Herbert Vogel, a postal clerk, and Dorothy Vogel, a librarian, who managed to build one of the most important contemporary art collections in history with very modest means. In the early 1960s, when very little attention was...

Tis the season to block your ex.
Breaking up is hard to do, as the saying goes. What can be even more difficult, however, is removing all traces of an ex from one’s social network. That’s where Block Your Ex comes in, with a tool that’s specially designed to extract even the most stubborn evidence of past relationships gone bad from an otherwise pristine online existence.
Designed by Washington, DC creative agency JESS3, the...

I love this city: The Cat's Meow
Perhaps its an internal desire to be a tourist in my own city, but lately I have enjoyed doing some of the most ridiculous things. This week’s exploration led me to the Cat’s Meow. I’m sure you’re thinking, “Thats where all the drunk ass tourists go to sing Karaoke.” And, yes, you’re right, but thats a part of the fun. Its about the most un-fucking-cool...

By Jason Corbin I’m all over you. Deep breaths in quick succession, I take in the lavender releasing from your still warm pores. Splintered glass and moonlight cover the wet dirt upon which I kneel. With a patient smile, you retire amongst the silence. I’m all over you. Shiny shoes and whispers enter two-by-two. The shade chosen does not fit your face. Soft violins lead me to the crisp linens...
InvadeNOLA Issue - Dec 3
Now that I’m done eating Thanksgiving leftovers, I can move on to more important things… like mailing my Christmas list to Santa. With Mariah Carey’s pop classic “All I want for Christmas” blasting through my speakers, I am pleased to introduce the newest issue of InvadeNOLA.

The Proper Attire condoms (who’ve worked with Alexander Wang and Brian Reyes in the past) re-create the humanitarian message with distinct Haring imagery by incorporating his classic image of two figures holding up a heart into its packaging. His graphically expressive...

By: Braden Piper
Sex, lies, alcohol, music, and lots of whores - it’s hard to imagine Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill weren’t from New Orleans. The Cripple Creek Theatre Company/Allways Lounge co-produced ten-day run of Threepenny Opera by the dynamic, German duo opened for limited preview on Wednesday at the Allways lounge with a half naked woman belting all the gritty details that...

So I read this article at thehairpin.com about Modern Pranks. Author Carrie Battan suggests: “If a guy takes you out on a first date, Facebook friend him as soon as you get home. Then, when he accepts, immediately request to be “In a Relationship” with him. Quickly message him asking him why HE relationship-requested YOU and tell him you...
