Seattle's own M. Women play Chop Suey tonight with Grass Widow and The Raincoats. We don't do a lot of bolding around here but I don't think I've ever been more bummed to miss a show. At least in recent memory. (I'm out of town.) What a line up....

Cover for photographer Cass Bird's new book Rewilding.

In the summers of 2009 and 2010, Bird traveled to Sassafrass, Tennessee, with a group of young women, a wardrobe of diaphanous dresses and a camera. These women - studio assistants, friends, or women cast from the streets of New York - had been selected by Bird for their ease with their sexual identities, but also for their relative awkwardness in front of the lens. The result was Rewilding, a joyous portrait of modern femininity and a frolicking celebration of women's camaraderie.

Book signing tonight 6-8pm at LEADAPRON (8445 Melrose Place, Los Angeles, CA, if you happen to be in the vicinity). More info at OH WOW

I can't believe that I am just now watching this show for the first time. I feel like someone should revoke my Green Card. If I had one.
