Murakami made the list. He’s number 78 out of a hundred folks that Time Magazine calls the “Most Influential People in the World”.

Pick up the Mag or check the website for a nice little write-up that Marc Jacobs did in honor of his Louis Vuitton collaborator- the Love fest continues! The list is an interesting one… everyone from the Dalai Lama to Miley Cyrus. A good read!

Besides the Dodgers?

This should be any easy one for you if you read my blog:) By April, they’ll have both hosted the @Murakami exhibit.

It was at LA’s MOCA till just a couple weeks ago… and will be at Brooklyn Museum from April 5 to July 13.

There’s going to be a huge bash (like the one before MOCAs launch) on April 3 with Kanye West & Jay Z performing.

Love this quote from Fashion Week Daily:

“What’s more, the Louis Vuitton brand, which made retail history with its first-ever pop-up shop within MOCA to herald the exhibit, plans on installing a similar concept at the Brooklyn Museum of Art. “I will be introducing new characters,” Murakami promised”

See you there?

If you want to get in the mood… we’ve got some really cool authentic pre-owned Louis Vuitton Murakami stuff listed right now.

Or a Black Louis Vuitton Multicolore Speedy and a matching black Louis Vuitton Multicolore Keepall 45 listed here on our website. If you want a Murakami piece for less than retail… you’ve come to the right place!!!

No, it’s not a newly released Louis Vuitton Multicolore piece… it’s the Matsuya Department Store in the fabulous Ginza shopping district!

I love it! Matsuya has been given an Extreme Makeover! It now bears the vibrant hued fleurs, quatrefoils and famous LV logo of a Takashi Murakami for Louis Vuitton Multicolore Hard Case. Note the “brass” corners, and “S-lock” closure! It’s all lit up, and apparently- it changes colors every half hour!

You don’t say? It looks like the blue hair is here to stay. Obviously not for as long as his new red “M&M” character tattoo… but it’s permanent haircolor, none the less.

Anyway, the top picture is of course, Marcy Marc with Takashi Murakami at their party at MOCA. You know we bought as much as they’d let us (two items per person!) Here’s one of our purchases:

The ultra limited Edition Murakami Neverfull GM. Keep watching our authentic Louis Vuitton eBay/Murakami listings… we’re keeping some, but listing a bunch too!

OK… I thought it would be fun to play 6 degrees of Separation!  This is a game that became a spin-off with the 80’s trivia time blower, Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. You know, the test of the truly small world, where you pick any famous person and you have to connect them to Kevin Bacon in film roles in 6 degrees or less.

But, this is a luxe bag blog, so instead of Kevin Bacon, I’ll be connecting to Marc Jacobs in honor of his wildly successful collaboration with Louis Vuitton, and his engenius insight to bring Takashi Murakami into the mix, which has just been celebrated like mad this week in the @Murakami grand opening exhibit this week at MOCA in LA.

I wanted to pick someone who I could think of absolutely no similarities or connections with Marc.  I thought it would be timely to do some of the 2008 Presidential Candidates, as I figured all but H.R.C (who may just  be a close and personal friend, since MJ did a bunch of cool promo pieces for her recently) probably fall into this catagory!

As a nod to the amazing grassroots effort and insane but creative marketing methods put forth by the Ron Paul campaign- I thought I’d start there. I also thought it would be fun to see if I get any of those zainy Ron Paul rEVOLution postings on my blog as a result! Everyone else seems to be shy about commenting… so I thought I’d see if this would bring some comments out of the woodwork!!!

I won’t be using film roles for my connections, but just any pictures of two people together!!!

Here we go: Six Degrees of Marc Jacobs… Ron Paul style!

Here we have Ron Paul & Ronald Reagan on Airforce One in 1976.

Then of course you have Ronald Reagan and Steven Spielberg after the ET showing in the White House.

Steven Spielberg directed Drew Barrymore in ET. Why does it always make me kind of sad to see pictures of her as a little girl?

Drew Barrymore not only starred with Luke Wilson in Home Fries, but they had a little thing going on for a while.

Luke Wilson played alongside Reese Witherspoon in the Legally Blonde movies…

Reese is a big fan of MJ’s. Here she is at Kate Hudson’s Halloween party Saturday night. After seeing the MJ tutu pics, the cheerleading costume is pretty much par for the course.

Well, that was pretty easy. I’d love a challenge! Give me a suggestion, and I’ll try to connect them with MJ!
