Well... its been a while since I have made a post here on this blog, and frankly I supose you could call it a loss of inspiration..(partially a lie) or lack of desire to write, spend the time or sweet pure laziness. I guess I became a little confused about the direction of the blog as well as whether I really wanted to write about fashion but more so the culture;so as I was sitting on the toilet when I woke up this mourning .. pants mid shaft I was thinking "I really should write today.." with the rements of the late night drunk bite sprinkled on my shirt , I was feeling refreshed..! As I stumbled into the kitchen (pants still down) because only then I remembered I am out a toilet paper ....still. (It be a slight drag to live alone.)

So.. I don't have much to talk about, that's a lie . But there are lots of things going on and this is an exciting time!!! , this is August 2010 which is an interesting time to be alive and of course as everyone knows the hype of 2012 has been growing at a steady pace. I have been watching documentaries, and listening to who's who in the spiritual guru world, and its all pretty well.... amazing. Another obvious situation to bring up is the Gulf Coast Oil "spill" , it has been a complete nightmare exspecially for those that live in the one of the gulf states. I mean my immediate reaction towards the whole thing is ...It just makes me pissed..and I feel human ..because it loads me up with sadness and anger towards these people the carelessness..the lives that had control of a situation like that and chose to turn the other cheek before shit went up in flames. Lets not indefinetly get into that whole pile of mess..(... but I will leave you with some news on that). I mean to be all serious and stuff...basically nothing else seems more relevant to speak of, and so conveniently so it appears that everyone is doing a fine job at keeping quiet about it and remaining ignorant to the situation ...not that you don't know because you live in Utah but that you hear it every time you turn on the news, but what restaurant you will eat dinner at tonight or what did Lady Gaga wear tonight seems to be a tad more titillating to the senses at the given moment. Well I guess whats new. Personally, I happen to live in Florida on the west coast...so yes it hits home directly for me but I would hope so either way if situation was otherwise. This is the new 9/11. (too soon?...) Ahhhhhh...
Anyways leaving you with some videos and stuff to check out.

The Millennials: Blogs, Myspace, the Mp3....

2010-04-11T15:10:00.000-04:00

A little Reflection on the Generation we have spun.

(hahaha.)

"People see rock and roll as youth culture and when youth culture monopolised by big buisness, what are the youth to do ?

Do you have any idea? I think we should destroy the bogus capitalist process that is destroying the youth culture."

-Thurston Moore

So getting a little away from fashion today because I wanted to share some thoughts that have had be cynically looking at the general art scene today. I came across this interesting interview a month or so ago with Thurston Moore ( Sonic Youth) , and it really got my mind buzzing with his ideas and take on the music scene of today along with the corporate control, contemporary art, and everything in between. He is an older musician about 50 or so but dont be misconstrued he still rocks. I guess what I mean by that is he has been around for you know a few decades. The music of the 60's, 70's has in no doubt made an immense impact on music verses the music of today, most elder rockers consider rock and roll to have met its end-game years ago dating somewhere around the late 70's. A statement to be argued with but then again, our "oldies" are going to be what? Britney Spears? Lady Gaga? ....Nickleback? Hopefully is there is a (GOD) our generation will not be known for those artist, (not to knock anyone's hustle.) This leads me to further investigate the situation, why are we a group of copy cats? A bunch of kids stealing music from the internet instead of rummaging through daddy's old records....taking what has been done and claiming it as your own . I mean everything has an inspiration , but to master something or create something new , you must look at the origin of the subject....which seems to be overlooked today since you can just as easily make a beat on garage band instead of picking up a real instrument. But thats not what sells...music has expanded in a sense and Big buisness , Corpotae Chains know that... you have access to more media and music then ever before , there are hundreds of more ways to SELL SELL SELL to you and get your attention to the masses, I mean everyone uses some source of social networking sites these days, which creates an extemem advantage. They want to have their own mark branded on the skin of the youth for their own selfish endeavors. So what are the Millennials?

:
The Millennials grew up amidst a time during which the internet caused great change to all traditional media. Shawn Fanning, a Generation Y member, founded the peer to peer file sharing service Napster while in college. Though the RIAA won a lawsuit and shut down the service in 2001, as a result of these innovations in technology the Millennials had access to more music on demand than any previous generation, and have forced the recording industry to adapt to new business models.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_Y

Snip-it from article at wikipedia

In some ways, the Millennials have become seen as the ultimate rejection of the counterculture that began in the 1960s and persisted in the subsequent decades through the 1990s. This is further documented in Strauss & Howe's book titled Millennials Rising: The Next Great Generation, which describes the Millennial generation as Civic Minded, rejecting the attitudes of the Baby Boomers and Generation X. Kurt Andersen, the prize winning contributor to Vanity Fair writes in his book Reset: How This Crisis Can Restore Our Values and Renew America writes that many among the Millennial Generation view the 2008 election of Barack Obama as uniquely theirs, and he writes about this generational consensus building as being more healthy and useful than the counterculture protests of the late 1960s and early 1970s, going as far to say that if Millennials can "keep their sense of entitlement in check, they might just turn out to be the next Greatest Generation".However due to the Global financial crisis of 2008-2009 this generation is also beginning to be compared to the Lost Generation of the early 20th century.

Due to my lack of consistency with my thoughts, ideas, or when I get on a roll, I loose focus. And therefore I dont have a link for the Thurston Moore interview that I'm refering too, but have another one for you that you should check out. It be lovely to get some feedback on what you guys think? Not sure I have any answers, but Moore on the other hand is speaking my language.

DIY: Studded Bustier (part uno)

2010-03-24T14:17:00.003-04:00

So, sitting here wanting to

..

Share my DIY studded bustier , but the only access I have to instant photos, is my lovely web cam. Mer. It was bought on ebay of course, one of the many cheap little objects I have collected from ebay. (It was 5.99) Yeah with that said, I dont expect much but here are some pics anyway of what it looks like now, I really want to add some more detail, but not sure if I should just keep it simple? Let me know what you think, and I will have more pics of it (on my bod)..shortly I just have to make it to the store (to develope of course) :X

So before I noticed the lovely heart charm of this vintage bustier, I started using silver studs, it just wasnt right so I switched over; luckily I had some nice gold studs too. I got ths studs from ebay, of course and they were really cheap :) bonus yes.

Eh, so all I did was carefully bend the back of the studs and then poke them throw the cup of the bustier, this was my first time studding anything and it seem like the logical way to do it ! And luckily there was no lace or fabric hurt in the making of this DIY.:D

And again sorry for the poor quality of the pics, better ones up soon. I also have another lovely bustier I got from a vintage store on ebay, that I would like to dazzle up here soon. I will be purchasing some more intertesting studs soon, rather than the typcially pyraminds, I really want to play with it and see what I can do . I have been inspired by so many other DIY with studs, that I hope to continue to use them as my current muse to create. Hopefully that DIY will be coming soon. :)

Oh McQueen.....

2010-03-16T22:32:00.000-04:00

Sad that he is no longer with us earthlings.....he made fashion seem to have more value than vaucousness.

Floral Clogs, Rebels, and Alexander

2010-03-16T19:58:00.000-04:00

Floral Slouch Clogs?

mmmm...yes .

These are a new pair of dream shoes from Free People, a little outrageously priced (248$), but they are seemingly a work of art. Many would say that they are weird or even ugly, but to blend in is so boring, and I adore anything that doesnt glare the feeling of typical.

Rebel8, just came out with a new line for women and men's wear, and you can go see it at 80's purple. From what I viewed, this shirt caught my eye ...hmmm...Marilyn with tatts? I love it , hot, Also jealous because I did'nt come up with the idea first.

Is that Kate in Alexander McQueens?

umm yeah I think thats what my eyes are seeing.

I really like this photo, so I had to share...and his shoes he made are like sculptures from gods.

If ....baby jesus was a shoe.

I'd like to call this one broken ankle.

Colored leaves, fresh air to breathe....

Lindsay Lohan goes 90's Kate Moss?

2010-03-10T19:41:00.001-05:00

In the latest issue of Italian magazine MUSE, Lohan did a spread in spirit of the late/ great realationship between Kate Moss and Johnny Depp that ended in 98'. I love Lindsay despite the hated backlash, who really cares what she does away from her "job". The spread is pretty racy, and insinuates a 3 some? what what? Well I think it's pretty hot, but really could they have used any more ciggarettes? I'm really becoming disturbed with the over-use of that theme in fashion spreads, but touche ! I guess I dont read all those trendy mags anyways.

...Lindsay & friends

Photographer Yu Tsai told Page Six: “I was always fascinated by Johnny Depp and Kate Moss, and when I asked Lindsay to do a shoot, she jumped at the chance. It was all about her being sexy, channeling Kate from the ’90s. When I suggested adding another girl, Lindsay invited Sofia.

“The three of them were very sensual and provocative, but Lindsay understands this piece was created not for any sensational value other than artistic integrity,” Tsai said. “There was never a discussion about pushing the boundaries. She was totally comfortable with the nudity as long as it had artistic integrity. "

“When you see her nipple, it just happened in the moment. She was playing the role of Kate Moss — you’re at a party and you are with a guy you really love and another girl.

“She is stunning and radiates in the pictures. Lindsay is incredibly focused where it comes to her career and fashion is her passion. It’s raw, it’s exposed, this is her at her best. She told me: ‘I want to make this iconic.”

John Issac & Friends :Provactive Art

2010-03-04T20:50:00.001-05:00

Follow my blog with bloglovin

John Issacs, an amazing artist-reflects on this era or (generation) of technology of the internet.. a lost generation; a parasitic group of humans digesting the earth in all its glory and beauty one day at a time. If your not already ...disencouraged by what you see on the news and hear about, they will tell yourself for you...that you have no chance if you dont get caught up in the war and the nazi politics that transpire today then maybe you will be arrested for disagreeing with the government on the account that you may be a"terrorist".

So what do we do?

start talking about this more often?

"We live in an age of such glaring contradiction that we have grown to accept such grotesque inbalance and injustice with a world-weary reluctance. Moral outrage at the current state of the planet only seems to last so long before one becomes accustomed to a sense that mankind as a species is powerless to effect any kind of change on the seeming inevitability of its own self-destructive evolution".

We hide from ourselves the way we hide from each other.

(2006)

1996:

In Advance of the Institution

1998; The Complete History of Unknown Discovery

Big Black Middle Finger?

(Yes I love this one. Its says alot, oh the glory of a photo.)

"Playing with the extremities and taboos of the modern day norm, Isaacs’ art reveals a number of uncomfortable truths that, he believes, we are all, to some extent, conscious of."

The matrix of amnesia

98'

"Running alongside the seeming directness and simplicity of John Isaacs’ work there is a pervasive current of unease and anxiety that identifies our modern way of life and its thinking as somehow warped, disjunctive and off balance."

snipit from short-bio

I use to think I could change the world but now I think it changed me.

Oh and I just love this last one I wanted to share! Its so primative and natural, being entangled with nature, paying close attention to the still air and the suttle hyms of the wind and the leaves that cover the limbs of trees.

I really love and enjoy all the aspects of Issacs work. From his sculptures to his photos, to the scalped monkey smoking a ciggarette everything is shouting, but usually there is no visible form of speech to be found. His outlook, and inspiration for his art ,inspires me. I am effected everyday from my growing awareness of the reality in which we live in; the generation that I am apart of and all the things I feel obligated to do , to work on . It's like the more you begin to look into things, the more you wish you had'nt.

Since I'm talking about provactive art.....

Dash Snow. 07-13-09

Dash was infamously known for his polaroids, shocking, raunchy, and just plain honest as they could be. He was a go-getter if you will a real-life come from nothing entrepenuer when it came to photography and life that is. Not ever expecting such credability or even fame, Snow trucked on, partied on and became a face on the underground seen or heck his polaroids did at least. Prety good for a 13 year old that ran away from home and just started taking random pictures everday.

Dont Cry for me.

Shoes. Shoess. Shoezz :London's Fashion Week's Finest

2010-03-03T21:22:00.002-05:00

Ok, so I have not been able to reflect on London's Fashion Week yet, considering I may be a tad late on posting about it, but I came across some beautiful creations today and felt the urge.

Gasp!)

Sass & Bride

These happen to be very gorgeous, who does'nt want some chains with their pumps?

I love these!

Emilio de la Morena

I love the colored heels, its a great accent to the shoe, and the contrast of the beige and bright turquoise is amazing as well as the black and baby pink.

Roksanda

Feathers? Yeah the middle one reminds me of a dead bird. But I love the first pair, just enough detail, and a suttle feather on the back heel, I love it.

Osman

These are quite interesting, and my mind ask how would you walk in these? But heck its fashion, is it ever really about being comfortable?

Kinder Aggugini

Amazing. I love the different prints on the bows, and the mix of texture here. Flamboent and edgy at the same time.

Mark Fast

I dont know if the shoes of Mark Fast's 2010 spring/summer collection accurately compare to the clothing covering the bodies. I will be making a small post later and include some pics from the show, very pleasing collection I must say. And these pumps? yes please.

Matthew Williamson

These remind me of Count Dracula, yup thats all I got. I love the bow accents , they are pointy at the ends, very amusing to the eye.

Louise Goldin

Studs, Spikes, I am obsessed with anything studded right now of course as it appears to be so "trendy" this minute. But put them on some pumps or booties or hell any pair of shoes, and that just makes the hot points sky rocket into outerspace. Fierce, deadly, makes me want to kick ass, with them on of course. I love the colors she used and the arrangement of the spikes, must wear with socks.... amazing:) Louise will also be doing a line for Topshop featuring shoes that mimic those seen at her Spring 2010 show

and will hit stores some time soon!

Jaeger London

Um, YEAH and these are my favorite shoes from Londons Fashion week Spring/Summer collections. I saw these and I drooled instantly, (wow I'm a dork ).What are the elements used here wood? suede? shiny metal? Great. I love the middle pair, gray/silver is my favorite hue right now.

Nylons ,stockings, Suggestive ads, Sex has always been in Style.

::Classy vintage pin ups to the sexually exuberant fashion scene of today.::

Many pin ups were photographs of celebrities who were considered sex symbols.
One of the most popular early pin-up girls was Betty Grable.

Here she is in the famous shot of her in a bathing suit, this was most likey to be caught "pinned" up on the wall of any soilder in WWII.

Her legs, were famously insured for 1,000,000$ (at the time that was a lot of money. )

A vintage pin up girl was a woman whose pulchritude would entice one to place a picture of her on a wall.The term was first attested to in English in 1941; however the practice is documented as going back at least to the 1890s.

30s and 40s pin up style art work.

An Alberto Vargas.

He was a famously noted artist back in the 1930s-40s era. depicting images of lovely pin up models.

Of course, I had to include here the beautiful Bettie Page, probably the most imitated and adored pin up from the 50's. Stockings, smiles and S & M remind me of Bettie Page, too bad she became a nun not too long after her she became one if not the first pin up/fetish queen.

Bettie Page, wound up and gaged? Yes please.

1950's

Wonder who these women were inspired from? Lets see not as cunning or controversial

but well adored, I give you the Gibson girl, this girl your grandfather could tell you a few things about.

The Gibson Girl was the creation of illustrator Charles Dana Gibson at the turn of the 20th Century. The Gibson Girl personified the ideal woman of the 19th and early 20th century. She was tall, slender, and big bosomed.

Marilyn Monroe.

And the 60's.?

Sex, Drugs, and Rock and Roll (how many times have you heard that phrase?)

During this period most of the female sex icons were in film , few models in the 60's were projected as sex symbols.

Elke Sommer

The gorgeous film star was also one of the most popular pin-up girls of the sixties, and posed twice for Playboy.

"The red scarf"

circa 1970's

Kate Moss, a clip from a fashion magazine

The 90's brought us Kate Moss, and Calvin Klein Ads..and oh yeah... a culture (slightly recovered) from the free-love and drug fests of the 60's-- Still, sex in fashion advertising, started being exercised more than ever.

Now, we are typically considered the generation of the world wide web. Contray to earlier times, sex in fashion has not always been so prominent as today, whether it is slightly suggestive or up in your face.

MTV:Says just dance

2010-02-17T22:17:00.017-05:00

Today.. I have made a small pledge to myself, whether or not anyone is reading any of this; too post something each day or every other day if I can, too simply remind myself of exatcly what I give reference too in the title of this blog.

"Liberate yourself from the illusion of culture" ...of highly commercialized fashion and media. I in fact love all things that sparkle & glitter, sure...art is subjective and so is beauty, but even I know all that glitters is NOT GOLD. I will go on to post things here on this small space of expression I posess on the interweb, I will continue to include things about fashion, art and music. For it is what flows in me, and in some of you, I tell myself it's just a form of creative expression, noting at the same time I denounce the vacuous-ness of it, the falsehood of "class", and all the artifical sub-cultures it has given birth too.

Like everyone else ; wrapped up (plugged in)to the "reality" of this man made media influenced based culture :where actors are heros and gods...another puppet is in office, and our economy is undergoing a complete meltdown. I dont see things improving or any promises being carried out, I see tragedy and laziness, a generation of the internet, you dont need a personality ! Myspace will create one for you. I see humans that spend more time talking about what Lady Gaga is wearing and who is going to win "dancing with the stars", than anything slightly important or even substantialy relevant to life.

I think. we all get wrapped up , I mean how could you not? Everything you see, hear , learn in school, eat, suggestive movies,symbols, just polluted, perfectly constrived and concieved by masterminds, greed ridden gremlins .. hungry vacuous wolves.. out for one thing ....your "mind". (Ok im done.)

So therefore this leads me to a post I found on vigilantcitizen.com, I did some google-ling because someone pointed out to me recently a claim that...Ms Lady Gaga ... is in fact a woman(turned man who under went a sex change) chameleon haired , Illuminati Puppet? (Maybe not having cable, is a good thing after all.)

Lets take a closer look.....

These are the claims showing evidence of occult symbolism which like most people should know by now: Its everywhere !!(hmm the dollar bill for example?.)

The Eye of Providence, or the all-seeing eye of God, is a symbol showing an eye often surrounded by rays of light or a glory and usually enclosed by a triangle. It is sometimes interpreted as representing the eye of God watching over humankind.

-From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

(Typical symbol that the Illuminati use ...probably the most obvious and overused symbol you will see.)

Of course the dollar bill, most recognized use of the symbol and obvious one at that.

Signs ? Symbols? Yes...

Subliminal messages...most effective form of brain washing? Yes i think so.

Who specifically exposes your mind to these types of messages? Lets see for example:

:Freemasons use signs (gestures), grips or tokens (handshakes) and words to gain admission to meetings and identify legitimate visitors.:

Illuminati symbols are all around you and everywhere you go.Illuminati symbols can be traced back to ancient pyramids and illuminati symbolism in the Christian bible and other world religions and mythologies. The most popular illuminati symbols is the eye on the pyramid on the back of the one dollar bill. Other illuminati symbols can be found in architectural design, corporate logos and pop culture media.

Baphomet, the Devil, is part male, part female human and part goat.

::Baphomet Unique to Satanism. A demonic deity and symbolic of Satan. Can be seen as jewelry

It is also now being used by the masons. It can be seen on their buildings and the emblems they put on their vehicles to identify each other::

Kind of resembles baphomet's hand placement in the picture above? Or are we reading too far into it?

Notice here the lightening bolt on her right eye, this is also a symbol used by

the illuminati (freemasons).

Hello Kitty? Sure we all might have a slight obsession (maybe thats just me).

But is this an indirect message to youth? A symbol of childhood innocence?

Ok, on that note lets anaylze her "stage" name Gaga:

Gaga is a term that immediately refers to absent mindedness. Here are some synonyms taken from a thesaurus:

•Given to lighthearted silliness: empty-headed, featherbrained, flighty, frivolous, frothy, giddy, harebrained, lighthearted, scatterbrained, silly. Slang birdbrained, dizzy.

•Afflicted with or exhibiting irrationality and mental unsoundness: brainsick, crazy, daft, demented, disordered, distraught, dotty, insane, lunatic, mad, maniac, maniacal, mentally ill, moonstruck, off, touched, unbalanced, unsound, wrong.

Is she really imposing on us to be robotic, febel, fashion-minded, ready to just follow the heard? Is this promoting in itself a behavior that would resemble someone who has been a mind control victim? Just dance , wear fancy clothes, dont think for yourself, making this all appear to be trendy? fashionable? Hmmmm...

"True magical symbols are 'disguises' for ideas, how their forms
are so arranged as to provide a clue to some hidden meaning. The 'hidden meanings' are

often very subtle, and an ability to recognise magical symbols must be developed by anyone who

wishes to seek these out" (p. 11).

-http://www.secretsofmasons.com/masonic-symbols.htm

In a spin: Gaga demonstrates some of her bizarre dance moves while dressed in skimpy underwear [The spiral represents time, something lost on mind control victims; metal is cold and impersonal.

Despite her well-publicised love of bizarre hats and sunglasses, GaGa insisted condoms were the number one accessory. [Condoms would be a crucial accessory to someone who was expected to service or 'perform for' her handlers.]

Really? I guess practice save sex kids!

Here playing with Madonna?( Another suspected puppet)

Nothing Lady Gaga is doing is actually "new" or really edgy..yet she may be talented

but is she just a toy, an image? Whether its staged or not? Why are there demonic and masonic symbols

appearing everywhere is she mocking mind control, the illuminati or representing ?

Through my recent research on this topic, I came across a variety of other popular artist today that also have claims of being an illuminati puppet pending against them like (Madonna). For instance, lets take a little look-see at a clip from Beyonce and Lady GaGa's new music video.

Once again weird covering of the one eye, the symbols used on the bathing suit

shes wearing, specifically on the left boob, Her right breast cup has an alleged illuminated Eye of Horus on it. Her left cup seems to be two phases of the moon. A snake covers her groin area similar to the representation of Lucifer, the Devil.

As noted before, Baphomet, the Devil, is part male, part female human and part goat, and Beyonce and Lady Gaga have used Baphomet’s image on their clothing, videos and performances in the past as well.

While dancing in this shirt, she first makes the alleged Illuminati and Freemasonic pyramid symbol her husband uses for his company, and then she points to the face on her shirt to draw attention and connection to it.

Here is the actual video:

"If people do not want other people to point out the occult symbols they allegedly use in their video performances, they should not allegedly include them. Both of these singers have allegedly used these occult and demonic references in their videos and live performances previously."

And for all you non-believers I want to add this small passage from another site I found blogging about the puppets we ever so fawn over:

"Some choose to interpret the symbolism from an obsessive fear based viewpoint and deeming everything like a compulsive disorder to denote anything as based on the ideology of a dark Illuminati. I don’t think their interpretations are the truth, they are simply a reflection of their fear biased mindset."

symbolicliving.com

Here is a passage from the article Lady GaGa Illuminati Part 1:

Although she is very smart and educated in symbolism, the settings of the pictures are the creations of photographers, stylists and other “consultants”. Whether she is commenting on the mind control phenomenon in mass media or simply a victim of it is still hard to determine but one thing is for sure: the symbolism is there and that’s the goal of the article. What is more unsettling is the fact that those themes are not exclusive to Gaga. They are associated with many acts in the music and the fashion industry to a point that one inevitably realizes that these artists are pawns of a greater machine, pushing its symbols through various outlets. References to mind control, to secret societies, to Baphomet and to Metropolis are too widespread to be coincidences or results of artistic expression. There is an obvious media campaign pushing these elements into pop culture. What should we do about it? MTV says: Just dance.

At last...I leave you with some food for thought and hopefully some aspiration to google some things
I really liked this comment from the Illuminati article:

"I hope that when the sheep wake up and realise the world is being ordered by men and women who do not hold you in any regard as fellow man and would quite happily see us all numbered and chipped, I personally want to run as far away as I can, arm myself and make sure I take as many of them with me as I can when the time comes, I was not bought into this way of thinking and have come to my own unbiased conclusions, the problem is the harder you look the more you wish you hadn’t."

O' Canada

2010-02-11T17:58:00.002-05:00

There, are many things I love about my home land Canada. But on the very top of that list are two things:
Canadian artist/bands and ketchup chips. Lately I have been listening to a lot of different artist, and have now collected a handful of bands (that are new too me) that I just believe you have to hear if your anything like me and you dont mind happiness and dancing.

Junior Boys

Junior Boys, have indeed been around the block and then some, they formed back in late 1999 in a small city that most people have never heard of ;Hamilton, Ontario( A small city that I am very familar with.)

They originally were a duo, consisting of Jeremy Greenspan and Johnny Dark, Johnny later left the group and Jeremy reached out to his engineer Matt Didemus.

Two albums later, they now have their third full length album out which is titled Begone Dull Care, and it was released on March 24 2009 in Canada, April 7 in the United States and May 11 in Germany.

I would highly advise checking out So this is Goodbye, which came out in 2006 but was

re-realeased as a bonus edition, including some remasters and remixes (simply candy for the ears).

DIY: Studs everywhere

2010-02-04T21:57:00.000-05:00

I wanted to post a DIY blog about studding clothing and accessories. I personally will be posting some DIY blogs more often, and I will start with saying that I am working on some bustiers right now that will be accented with of course some lovely studs. I have seen this trend just about everywhere now, seems like a lot of it is hand done and makes a nice vintage bustier or a pair of shoes look that much more amazing and give it something new. Much of this inspiration has came from the famously blogged about Rodarte for Louboutin heels shown here :

These can be imitated easily by getting some studs from ebay or another site, then just grab a "hole maker" and some super glue with a little dose of creativity and there you go !

I will be posting later my very own rendition of these lovely beautys!

An old pair of grunge lace up boots would also be an amazing canadite for adding some studs yourself (DIY style).

I hope you like my examples and maybe it inspires you to come up with some new ideas yourself for a DIY project. Many other things can be added as well like ruffles or lace , always make a piece look more detailed and it puts a personal touch on the garmet that you cant buy at just any store.

Look for my next DIY post , I will have my very own guided recipe for doing some DIY studs.

Throw me back when.....

So I wanted to profile a lovely independent designer I heard of via myspace and etsy; Vintage Opulence. I love vintage lingerie and I am obssesed with getting my hands on some wherever I can find it. I have had luck on Ebay and Etsy of course, but as far as other clothing sites and stores seem to be a tad expensive. Here are some things she has for sale right now that I absolutely adore!

Amazing work on these vintage inspired lingerie pieces, any girl who loves lace and

ruffles would adore any of her stuff.

Happens to make me want to be a burlesque dancer !

Socks n' Shoes?

2010-02-01T22:38:00.000-05:00

Mmmmm......yes please

So I have been seeing lots of socks with heels or grannie boots and of course vintage style oxfords that are really cute right now.

I happen to jump on the band wagon and I have to

agree that this is a hot style...that has essentially been around forever; but just recent

have I seen it showing up in photos and magazines.

Those Silly Vikings....

(Swedens)

I am in love with a sweedish band.

Since Imeem's transfer to myspace

( is myspace taking over the world...?)

I was stumped and aggitated....although myspace has a great stream of music and new artist to check out it has its complications and its tracks that temporaily "cut out". So this lead me to seek out a new platform for music on the web. Thats where I found hypem.....

This is a music site ...generated by a group of people who discover and lurk music blogs to find people who know what you should be listening too.

I have to say ...very interesting and always fresh stuff that is posted.Hence....where the Swedish Band JJ ...comes into play .They dont have a (myspace) or a FB.Luckily, they have music posted from bloggers on Hypem and also on their record label's site (plus some cool vids) !!Maybe its just the image for their Album art-work or the samples of Lil Wayne they manipulate?hmm I dont know.but Im in Love.

The new album JJ n03 comes out sometime in March 2010

in the U.S and Sweden

cheers!

Where your childhood was.....

2009-10-20T22:45:00.000-04:00

"Where the Wild things Are"

Ah what it was like to be a child....the smell...the taste...the sun coming down ...running back home. Never

quite feeling like you fit in anywhere, but your own secret imaginary world; that now in your later years would give anything to go back too. It's funny how we can't wait to grow up, yet when we get there all we do are things that make us feel young again. "Where the Wild Things Are"......is one of those movies that bring you back to that world...where everything is new and a journey never seems to far or long. I partially cried, smiled, and laughed with joy to this movie, its one you have to go see; even if you were one of those weird kids that never read the book.

The Soundtrack on the other hand is quite delectable as well.

Karen O from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and the Kids bring it home. Go and check out the soundtrack as I will supply the link!

Devendra? Portman? Is this Real?

2009-10-19T20:41:00.000-04:00

Casually, browsing the interweb as i frequently do; i came across this post or article if you will on thisrecording.com . For anyone that knows of the artisit Devendra Banhart...you know of his precular style and interesting character. So as one would note; this to be something surreal of Banhart to do. A nice read, and lets me see Portman in in a different light.
