If you caught the MTV Video Music Awards last week, then you probably noticed how crappy the event was. Never seen much from the host Russel Brand before, but the lines never quite hit the spot. What else would you have noticed? Oh yeah, probably the outfits, but if you are in the world of Centre, then the biggest hype came with Lil Wayne’s shoe swapping antics. The dude changed Supra shoes three times during the show. Two of the styles are currently in stock at the shop and going fast:
(Lil Wayne with Kid Rock wearing the new Supra NS Slim Skytops in Red Patent leather)
 (Lil Wayne wearing the new Supra TUF Skytops)
If you aren’t familiar with Jeff Koons then you owe it to yourself to get familiar with his work. A definite icon in the world of pop art, Koons recently assembled his work at the Palace of Versailles. It’s so cool to see the juxtaposition of the old world and the new. So different, but they are both over the top artistic expressions:
Opening up at the Chateau de Versailles in France, American pop artist Jeff Koons continues his international success with a controversial exhibition showcasing some of Koon’s finest works.
“Mingling New York and Versailles, the 21st and the 18th centuries, the baroque and the pop, has presented a practical problem, as well as a political one. It cost more than £1.6m – mostly sponsored by the French billionaire and Koons fan, François Pinault – to transport the gigantic sculptures from all over the globe and install them in the largest royal palace in Europe.”
With a bigger than life approach, most of the works come in large scales with a select few having to be showcased outdoors. Highlighted is an enormous piece made out of mother natures finest including over 90,000 petunias and geraniums planted within the work. Definitely a must see show for those in the area.
