People We Love: Ver Sacrum

Canadians are the best! My favorite Canadians are Dave Coulier and my friends Laura and Trevor, who have recently formed a band called Ver Sacrum (pronounced Ver SAKE-rum). Dave Coulier in not in the band, fyi. Many of you are probably familiar with Laura, who writes for No Good For Me. She’s the girl who always manages to reference the Beatles in every single one of her posts. I lived with her for two years so you can imagine how Beatles-centric my life was. The other half of Ver Sacrum is her boyfriend Trevor, who resembles a young John Kerry (in the best possible sense) and has a really good sweater collection. They look like they walked straight out of an Elizabeth Peyton painting, although I’m sure that neither of them would appreciate that reference. But whatev, they’re cute and their music is really good too. I can't write about music to save my life, so you'll just have to visit their myspace page, where you can download their songs and be their friend and do other cool myspace activities. And yes, there is a Beatles cover.

People We Love: Sarah Wilmer

Yesterday I picked up the new issue of V (with a Miu Miu clad Gwen Stefani on the cover) and god is it good. Of course I was easily seduced by the Linda Evangelista-as-Laura Mars editorial and the photos of Ms. Stefani were pretty cool too. But I was most excited by the little feature that they did on my friend Sarah Wilmer, who is an amazing photographer/ musician/cat enthusiast/person. Check out more of her work here.
