'Wake Up To Rape' T-shirt

Rape is a serious issue and totally not a laughing matter but...They couldn't come up with a better way to promote awareness?!
Also, 'Wake Up To Rape' sends the wrong message; it sounds like they're telling you to commit the crime..

NYC ING Marathon 2010- Jersey Design

I attended the NYC ING Marathon for the first time this year. I had the pleasure of making one of the runner's jerseys.

I was given a preprinted jersey and was told to spice/brighten it up. I used neon pink and purple fabric paint and outlined the her name in the front. Then I customized the back to fit her personality. She's a hair stylist so I decided to paint a silhouette of a female runner holding a blowdryer and comb lol.
It turned out really great and it was awesome to see her running with it on.
The atmosphere was crazy in NYC; it was so positive and there was so many people cheering.
I loved it and hopefully will participate in it one day!!

Halloween 2010 - I AM DARTH VADER!

I look forward to Halloween every year because I can let my freaky creativity loose and be someone totally different for a day..
This year I chose to be Darth Vader :D

I REFUSE to be anything sexy for Halloween. Being that I'm a woman, I think it's hilarious to be something unattractive for Halloween. Last year I was Rosie from the Jetsons; I wore a huge box all night.. Which was fun because everyone knew who I was but it wasn't fun because everyone wanted to slap my box.
My costume was very last minute, I decided to be Darth Vader Friday night. I had a light saber from NYC Comic Con so I already had the most important accessory.

Here's what you need: black foam core, strong glue (i used wood glue), a box cutter, a Darth Vader costume from Amazon or Target, black snowboarding gloves, black rain boots, acrylic paint.

The mask that comes with the costume is a half mask. So I basically used the foam board and built around it to make a full head mask so it wouldn't look so corny. Then I made boxes to emulate the boxes that are already on the costume and belt, so that it would be 3D instead of just on the fabric. I used a real picture of Darth Vader to paint on the necessary buttons.
The costume costs about $25-30 but to make it so much better is just a couple of more bucks.. And it took me about 2 hours to complete, just because I'm so talented like that ;)

I attended the parade in the village for the first time this year with my partner, Stewie, who by the way, was a HUGE hit. I wanted to see how crazy it actually was.. and it was bonkers! It was a huge crowd of people.. A great experience, but I'd rather watch it on TV next year!

Kanye West' Runaway Review

I finally got around to watch the 35 min film, Runaway, by Kanye West!



I was really excited to hear that Yeezy was releasing this film/long music video for Runaway, promoting his forthcoming album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. I'm a huge fan of his and think he's an absolute genius when it comes to music. So I peeped it via MTV.com and have mixed feelings about it....

I think it was a spectacular effort by West but.. it's just too pretentious. Maybe I'm so critical about it because I'm an artist myself and I HATE when people get all pretentious about art, especially celebrities [ie. PHARRELL.. I love him but when it comes to art, he needs to shut his pretty mouth..]

It was random; it was a wannabe artisticly symbolic and deep film, with all the deers and sheep in it.
If you don't have the pateience to sit through it, here's the sequence of events that occurs in Runaway:

1. Kanye drives through a dark street in a Czechoslovakian car by Tatra, while rapping about a Murcielago. He crashes his car into a bloody bird (Selita Ebanks)

2. He takes her home and makes beats for her while she does some African dancing. Here, we see that West dresses her up in nothing but feathers.. Of course, because she's a Victoria's Secret model.

3. Next scene: a little boy runs through a field wearing all red, holding a torch with red smoke coming out of it.

4. Next scene: A marching band performs in a desert-like setting, surrounding a huge sculpture of Michael Jackson's head. Fireworks blast in the background. Ku Klux Klan make a little cameo...

5. Yeezy and bird enter a warehouse for a huge dinner. African Americans are dressed in all white while they are served by White servants. This scene is probably my favorite just because the track went so well with the entrance of the people [Track: Devil in a New Dress]

6. West performs Runaway while White ballerinas perform dressed in all black. Sadly no cameo by Pusha T.

7. Selita Ebanks wilds out because a big bird is brought to the table on a plate for dinner. Kanye takes her back home and they sit on the rooftop. She says, "You know what I hate about your world? Anything that is different, you try to change, you try to tear it down.." - I think that's symbolic for how everyone's hating on Kanye! (that's sarcasm by the way..)

8. Then they have sex. Beastiality!

It was a drag to sit through all 35 minutes of but thanks to the soundtrack and the fact that he's a millionaire with a huge budget, all the pretty effects and fashion made it a bit more interesting. But I'll stick to his 4 minute music videos, they're more interesting to me [ie. his Can't Tell Me Nothing music video] .. and I don't have to sit through awkwardly bad acting by Kanye ;)

Fresh Prince

With many street-wear brands bringing back 90's fashion, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air just has to be blamed as inspiration for some of their concepts. This includes all the neon and crazy patterns that wannabe 80's babies can NOT pull off.

The show starred Will Smith as himself, a teenager from West Philly who moves out to Bel Air with his wealthy relatives in order to stay out of trouble. Throughout all 148 episodes, we witness the cool swag of Prince always fresh with the Nikes and Jordans.

Comic Con 2010

Every year in October (coincidentally right before Halloween), all the geeks, nerds, people who got beat up in high school, gather together at the Jacob Javitz Center in NYC for Comic Con.

I went on Saturday and as usual, I was amazed at alll the crazy costumes : Joker, Spawn, Catwoman, Halo..etc.
It was a little creepy because it felt like I was on the other side of the universe; not to hate on comic lovers, but the people there were a little cookoo.. and for SOME REASON, fat girls loooove wearing leotards, there was a lot of that there.
But no matter how freaked out I get, Comic Con keeps me coming back for more every year.
