Stereo/Sewing Machine

I would definitely want one of these since it merges my two most favorite forms of art;fashion and music

The intent is to make sound visible.It embroiders the frequency of the music.It's only a prototype (I'm sad about that too.).I would love to stitch in my favorite Talib Kweli,J*Davey,Little Jackie and E.Badu songs on my T's.

Random Visuals

These are just pics I fell in love with

Jack Davey

I am a music lover.I always get new music.I rather listen to music than watching TV.I'd rather have intellectual conversation about music than talk about the neighbors ugly kids.So I'd like to share what I've been blasting in my studio for a staight week now.I FINALLY have J*Davey's "The Beauty In Distortion" and "The Land Of The Lost" CD's after soooo long I've heard "Mr.Mister" a couple years back.I love Jack Davey!

WHO IS JACK DAVEY??

She has a boy's name (who cares),She's weird (so am I...I've heard),She has a Mohawk (AND?!?!!?).She is Jack Davey,one half of J*Davey (along with Brook DeLeau,who is so CUTE),a duo from Los Angeles,California.Their music can be described as Funk,Alternative Hip Hop,Electronica,Alternative Rock/Funk,etc.,etc.,etc....Who gives a damn how they're catagorized,They are the HOTNESS.No homo,but she's my girl crush and I love her style.Support the Music---My jams are "Everybody Touch It" ,"Camera (Gangsta)","Finer Things (Bossing Up)","Just Because" and "Slooow".The CD can be purchased on their site.Check it out.Good to hear original,real music.They are way underrated.

TotusMel:In Bloom Ankle Corsets

Inspired by a shoe designed by Vicente Rey,designer,Pamela Quevedo of TotusMel set about trying to create a lace shoe. These spat-like pieces are one of the results.They are hand needle tatted with elements of vintage patterns and original designs in black cotton thread.She has other items also that are just as beautiful.There's a Victorian/Romantic Era Goth feel to them. Here's more,enjoy:

Mary Katrantzou

These garments for Fall 09 from Mary Katrantzou are inspired by the illusion of bold jewlery with a 70's twist.There's also jewelry designed as exact replicas of her dresses made from wood and metal.It's hard NOT to be drawn to tthe colorful symmetry of thes garments.

Zulu Rose

Blending African tribal culture with hip modern urban sensibilities is Zulu Rose originally based in California and is now in Brooklyn.They are the futurist of African design.The use tribal art and imagery that is ultra hip and modern,the funkiest color palette ever and is environmentally sustainable.It's one of my most favorite designer labels.

Jacob Livengood

These are from painter Jacob Livengood.Loving the new take on pointilism-very vivid and colorful

juiceboxes

I came across these via thedieline.com and these are the coolest juice boxes I've ever seen done by Japanese artist/industrial designer,Naoto Fukasawa.I wondered if they feel just like the real thing.

a little more inspiration...

As you can already guess by two of the pictures,I LOVE Grace Jones.

What I'm inspired by

These are few of the MANY pics I'm feeling right now.Notice they have a cosmic/earthiness feel to themThat's kinda what I'm aiming for.There's more.

Finally,Here I am!!!

Hello there family.I'm finally setting up my first post (yay!).This blog will be dedicated to all that I love;Fashion,Art,Style,Music and Culture.I also plan to post my whatever I think about in my daily existence,from conversations,thoughts,questions,etc. so be prepared and bear with me for at times I need to service the filter between my mind and my mouth,if you know what I mean.I also love Poetry,Literature and Photography.Basically,I love ALL forms of expression.I also plan to throw in a video when neccessary.I let my mind wander at times and sometimes I let it cross the street on it's own so on that note.....It's nice to finally meet you.
