faux-eco


This truly has to be seen to be believed - a new apartment block on S. Hoover, very close to USC, called "Element" - and boasting panels of false grass.  Doubtless the wood is plastic, too.  It's architectural brutalism in eco-clothing.  It's almost the nastiest bit of falsity I've seen all day - almost, but not quite.  Jennifer Tucker, giving one of the presentations at today's VSRI event, showed an unforgettable slide of Donald T---p getting his likeness sculpted and primped at Madame Tussaud's - and the hair on his wax effigy is YAK HAIR (and, I find on-line, squirrel).  Could anything be more perfect?
