A Quick Post

Although I am supposed to be working on school work, drank waaay too much coffee and my fingers are trembling as we speak, I can still deliver this.

I've posted about the new Palahnick movie, Choke, coming out this September, which by the way I am really excited. So, scrolling through SlamxHype today and discovered that Radiohead was asked by director, Clark Gregg, to contribute a song to the film. Well, after watching the movie the guys decided to provide the music throughout the entire movie. Score! Pun intended.

Could you imagine if the powers that be did a film adaptation of, The Haunted? Or maybe some kind of 3D animation project? That book is sickly grotesque. The type that will make you cringe and actually make you feel like you are in a dark, damp mansion with a dozen frantic characters. Here's an excerpt from a review on About.com.

...Is it sick? Well, sure, but I'm not sure what else you were expecting. This is, after all, the collection that contains the infamous "Guts," a story so knee-buckling that over sixty people have passed out, dropped right there on the bookstore floor, during the past year's readings...

Yea. Check it.

Just another day for wishing away...

Ladies I don't know about you but I for one am super in to cute comfy lounge/sleepwear thats where this brand Lazy Lifestyle Loungewear comes into play. They rock a dope selection of what you need to look cute and sleep well.





and this number even comes in what i like to call a Lemonzest





Burton never really does it for me but i came across this top the other day




I for one would wear a little more underneath maybe a light tank top, but girl if you can get away with a just an American Appeal Tube Bra go for it!!

Not only are there festivals all around the state and region but this in and of itself should have you high tailin it to Underground Snowboards on Commonwealth on September 20th. I guess this would be time to post info on all the Oktoberfests and beer releases in NE...

The Beautiful Fall

Check this Fall Makeup Preview from the New York Times Style Magazine, MAC Pro Make up Artist, Sharon Dowsett, takes on dark jewel tones, daring colorways, and applies shiny lids while drawing inspiration from the majesty of nature.

Experimenting with colors this season invites creativity and customization. Make up pros were using lipsticks on eyes paired with loose pigments or shimmers to cement the hue and create texture. A return to the eighties has opened up a reason to exaggerate cosmetics. Recently at the Behnaz Sarafpour Fall runway show, Gucci Westman, gave models purple racoon-like eyes. Badgely Mischka showed gold lids with green peeking out in the inner corners. Fendi offered more of a smokey golden eye with extension to the brow and finished with a strongly arched brow. Finally, my last pick is from Baby Phat, yes diva. The dark and heavy eye finished with an eye gloss in the crease and lips stained red. Enjoy!

Fashion Show.

Yo, it's Sunday, beautiful summertime weather. We're keeping it crisp and clean at the shop on our block. Fresh music, tees, and lots of treats in the store. We are brainstorming on some ideas for photoshoots for the new apparel we've got coming into Omoi. I think we are leaning toward creating some fantastical neon worlds mixed with dope hair and makeup. Keep checking back for updates at the online blog.

Chadam Lives


I'm totally going to Comic Con next year. It's this great comic convention in San Diego and dope artists like Alex Pardee and Craola are there signing stuff and releasing exclusive prints and things. So many more amazing people are there it would take me all day to talk about it. I thought about how cool it must have been to be walking around there all weekend, last weekend. I was in New York this past Monday and I made my boss, Liz, stop in Midtown Comics with me. I mean in no way does it compare, but I felt like I owed it to myself to be selfish for a second. We climbed the stairs and I wandered in the two floor store awe until she told me it was time to go. There were tons of books, toys, videos, and of course comics. In fact, they were getting a new shipment in while we were there. Boxes and boxes unloading. I don't really read comics but I appreciate the artwork a whole lot and love books. Fantographic books are awesome. There was a Camille Rose Garcia book, The Magic Bottle, which I have never actually been able to flip through, so I can always find something cool. There, enough. I gotta go. Sorry for the lack of posts. This summer has been quite busy with school and work. I haven't even been to the beach yet!

Check this new Alex Pardee joint. This is the first footage from the 3D animation project he is putting together based on the character, Chadam. It was released at Comic Con and now here it is for all to see. Pardee originally created Chadam for the album artwork he did for In Love and Death, from the band, The Used. Since the creation of the blockheaded character an entire world has been materialized for him. He has amassed quite a following over the years. check check check it yall! Thanks.


Also!

The Otakon Convention is coming up, August 8-10th in Baltimore. It's a celebration of all that is Asian pop culture. I know my girl, Maggie, is going and shes super excited.
