Her style is captivating because of the fine details and distinct due to her consistency in execution. Occasionally, I will check up on her blog, <a href="http://i-seldom-do.livejournal.com/">okonomide</a>, because I really want a signed print and they sell out really fast! This time paid off because today she posted that one of my favorite paintings, 'My Dishonest Heart,' will be available for online purchase Saturday, May 9th at 12 p.m Pacific Time. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAddvtR7NKie0u7lrAMmHooZnhVmA_btcZToSxvijDr7tW7nq9H1BOoHBJr-OgpV1XYH3B5PvEtE9YQepIjXH7W6PFFW4ksKioc6SPi2LIBjY5WCVZuCc5tZiMPOI94XJlc7QeVaCL-14/s1600-h/heartsale01.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 224px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAddvtR7NKie0u7lrAMmHooZnhVmA_btcZToSxvijDr7tW7nq9H1BOoHBJr-OgpV1XYH3B5PvEtE9YQepIjXH7W6PFFW4ksKioc6SPi2LIBjY5WCVZuCc5tZiMPOI94XJlc7QeVaCL-14/s400/heartsale01.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332208654200562226" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdWnIqmto77KdH17rcB_eiSCnI2X18_Bwr_vWw9CuBcuENHdeOIVFXswnIvEcA-H4iXdPgbZZ1r1Ij43rKHemFEV6wrAVHu9VmfeMRaBjZ3Syj13ydZj-j6BrvorVA1QxOF9gM2Xj-iqM/s1600-h/dishonest_heart_lj.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 357px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdWnIqmto77KdH17rcB_eiSCnI2X18_Bwr_vWw9CuBcuENHdeOIVFXswnIvEcA-H4iXdPgbZZ1r1Ij43rKHemFEV6wrAVHu9VmfeMRaBjZ3Syj13ydZj-j6BrvorVA1QxOF9gM2Xj-iqM/s400/dishonest_heart_lj.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332213885854744914" /></a><br /><br />giclee print on smooth cotton rag paper<br />size: 9 1/2"x10 3/4" on a 11"x12 1/8" sheet<br />with frame: 11 1/2"x12 3/4"<br /><br />signed and numbered edition of 200<br />150 of them will be available.<br />price of unframed: $100<br />framed: $235<br />shipping cost: tba<br /><br /><br />In other Audrey Kawasaki news, she has a solo show, <strong>Watching Shadow</strong>, in Japan this week at, <a href="http://www.spaceyui.com/">Space Yui</a>, in Tokyo.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkQJCBFbztQJ8y9rCo9yVPiVTHB1KHsMo6uuY6rzmOTPgxIRH0gY3Vlw5Br9r6Tj-VjRrGLCXWgvvxaG_pGNuELLZ2UZpYviLJMZsaojGpidjAyHNxeujjicLS_oxWMDDlwSoJNofD9Ao/s1600-h/japanscreen1.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 258px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkQJCBFbztQJ8y9rCo9yVPiVTHB1KHsMo6uuY6rzmOTPgxIRH0gY3Vlw5Br9r6Tj-VjRrGLCXWgvvxaG_pGNuELLZ2UZpYviLJMZsaojGpidjAyHNxeujjicLS_oxWMDDlwSoJNofD9Ao/s400/japanscreen1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332209282169121234" /></a><br />Opening night is May 7th and runs until May 16th.

We kicked off the first night at Fergies, a bar in center city, for a free show featuring Philadelphia's own, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/changchangmusic">Chang Chang</a>, and <a href="http://www.myspace.com/fauxslang">Faux Slang</a>. Chang Chang, is a talented emcee on the rise. Since introducing us to his music project a few months ago he has played numerous shows in Philly, SXSW, and stays on his grind by going to NYC to participate in open mics whenever he gets a chance. As a friend I can honestly say that I am so proud of homeboy! Expect big things from him. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDACPmx_ipxayZtI-CY8xHPToM7cq5SsupB8MfD0zJ30q8VRaPEUUG2N5ce8lytUlupPhbhVsTKOHVH6kNUMDvFtkCLM8KV5aPNeiKYoJWV10frn_qE4BCILQE1MgXehblbxiWV6QTrrw/s1600-h/chang+chang.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 265px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDACPmx_ipxayZtI-CY8xHPToM7cq5SsupB8MfD0zJ30q8VRaPEUUG2N5ce8lytUlupPhbhVsTKOHVH6kNUMDvFtkCLM8KV5aPNeiKYoJWV10frn_qE4BCILQE1MgXehblbxiWV6QTrrw/s400/chang+chang.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330252958808975922" /></a><br /><br />"<a href="http://fauxslang.blogspot.com/">FAUX SLANG</a> is three piece outfit that has been active in the Philadelphia area since late 2006. Their beer-battered sound blends post-punk with space-rock while drawing a heavy influence from 60's pop." (via Myspace) The band consists of Rick Hass on lead vocals and keyboards, Ian Nauroth on guitar and backup vocals, and Adam Herndon on drums. Definitely a fun band to watch, their songs are catchy, and they put a lot of energy into their performance. Just give me indie rock! <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6Mf4xVi6dQsznGWNUM5vtXqy2FzvrgZhISaZ3e5Ipxcm1e5rR3tLgVHvYutW3JQllxNxF3LBfYvJgfMSYxWqs90Jr00ABUgP0bjS7KttdYvatQUwdQ_aPJ9G5CmoAkEE5KGXw472nDPA/s1600-h/faux+slang.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 309px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6Mf4xVi6dQsznGWNUM5vtXqy2FzvrgZhISaZ3e5Ipxcm1e5rR3tLgVHvYutW3JQllxNxF3LBfYvJgfMSYxWqs90Jr00ABUgP0bjS7KttdYvatQUwdQ_aPJ9G5CmoAkEE5KGXw472nDPA/s400/faux+slang.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330252963273347858" /></a><br /><br />I can't talk about a trip to the city without reppin' my crew from Omoi.

They opened their first retail outlet in the Northern Liberties section of Philadelphia. Affectionately dubbed, No Libs, like 90% of everything in Philly, is an up and coming area filled with an interesting range of shops, restaurants, bars, and most recently, a beautiful Piazza. The Piazza is located in the center of the art deco condos around 2nd and Poplar. New independent stores are being added and it looks promising. I mean if the Jumbotron on the wall facing all of the Piazza doesn't do it for you, then stick to Rittenhouse. (Boring) Here is Andrew, Brooks, and Joey, reppin' their set at the new shop.

The babe was born yesterday and the little guy comes clockin' in at 6lbs 14oz and 19.5in long. I'm honestly so happy for her and her man and wish them the best of luck. She was such a hot preggo chick too, while expecting, she would send me pictures from wherever she was at the time. I would get photos of the mountains in Humboldt County, the bay in Oakland, the sun sets in Miami, all the while maintaining RIFE.

It came as a surprise because before I moved from Philadelphia I worked diligently on RIFE and wrote for shop, Omoi, as well. I would ask my friends if they had read this or that post and the response was the usual, "No, I haven't checked it in awhile, but I will!" No hard feelings though, when I started this with a friend two years ago there was always motivation to keep it movin' into something bigger, at least on my part.<br /><br />As RIFE comes up on it's 2ND year we are welcoming new office space, 1,200 sq ft worth! It's a beautiful space with two offices, reception area, and 400 sq ft in a separate room that will be used for projects. I have been playing with makeup for a little over 6 years and here in Massachusetts have friends that are very talented MUA's and stylists. Together we will utilize the space for shoots, classes, and consulting. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl87YjLqrzijINHMVzz_K7QX1aXucXBY-Mx4HhWhsrI53TcglmvBW151WxyBBgdAuP-aPEd_JbyMu7uO84c85JNVoUDwticbVvoy0cNUhaZSHwHr05NPFdDdXcdXdLIz0va8OZ9dJTqrk/s1600-h/044.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326039043074360354" style="WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl87YjLqrzijINHMVzz_K7QX1aXucXBY-Mx4HhWhsrI53TcglmvBW151WxyBBgdAuP-aPEd_JbyMu7uO84c85JNVoUDwticbVvoy0cNUhaZSHwHr05NPFdDdXcdXdLIz0va8OZ9dJTqrk/s320/044.JPG" border="0" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5iu2Z8eqngJJvsSSatRImKF5M_42wjjBc2QWUgu9ANnsWWuodyFby6VtRcQ0KdvE2Ehgheq_2bX5nTZhBe7JAoPAiBCzmRXkIErIWLQCVZUyHVaewy1SGFuHUOxG5D1v3Uo2fgBvFcXg/s1600-h/049.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326039047875509074" style="WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5iu2Z8eqngJJvsSSatRImKF5M_42wjjBc2QWUgu9ANnsWWuodyFby6VtRcQ0KdvE2Ehgheq_2bX5nTZhBe7JAoPAiBCzmRXkIErIWLQCVZUyHVaewy1SGFuHUOxG5D1v3Uo2fgBvFcXg/s320/049.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Right now I do have a few projects I am working on for the official opening, but nothing I want to elaborate on just yet. The RIFE Studio promises some exciting events, art shows, and products being produced out of the place! We will not be using it as retail space. People keep askin' that one, would love to, but my idea for a store is something I can't produce, yet.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOiIfp8xN8WKu1YuV3aHFOLM0zrR8v8c7ZmahBWu33SQBbS33fkqPE5c1VCShm2VUNdFoDAOXvXs4BlAt_W6dY2042TgYdh3IM5Eco0dXL9aBjhcO5li4lRSe8yYNT1cFy-lSbTYjGg8Q/s1600-h/043.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326039039295618722" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOiIfp8xN8WKu1YuV3aHFOLM0zrR8v8c7ZmahBWu33SQBbS33fkqPE5c1VCShm2VUNdFoDAOXvXs4BlAt_W6dY2042TgYdh3IM5Eco0dXL9aBjhcO5li4lRSe8yYNT1cFy-lSbTYjGg8Q/s320/043.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br />This blog content will be focused more on what is happening in the studio. I will continue to write about fashion, fun happenings, and what friends are up to! But mostly about pulling this project together and keeping everyone up to date with it all. Honestly, I can't wait to borrow my friend's truck this week to get some of my furniture and fixtures up there! Hopefully, by May the place will be completely set up. I have had so much fun writing and meeting some really fantastic people via the "blogger community."<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn9xO3Dxn6bHbVg38K1vWmiTL7bxLUqtiTgYDNvWxPxEtB54GN3BSMuLQ5g0Osbk3GBbZ-tAaXlc3VGoRQeWBxGACVbPjpJPwA5YC9MjusSNLRw6yram1hGNJ2_q7o3oA5xNmqtL-1WMQ/s1600-h/202.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326043287745600226" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn9xO3Dxn6bHbVg38K1vWmiTL7bxLUqtiTgYDNvWxPxEtB54GN3BSMuLQ5g0Osbk3GBbZ-tAaXlc3VGoRQeWBxGACVbPjpJPwA5YC9MjusSNLRw6yram1hGNJ2_q7o3oA5xNmqtL-1WMQ/s320/202.JPG" border="0" /></a>Where I been? Well, ordering furniture, putting up lighting, cleaning the place, organizing my storage unit, quitting one job, starting another, raising a kid, bouncing around from Boston to Philly, and writing for M.I.S.S Crew. I must say, it is really exciting to be writing for an online magazine with worldwide readership. The ladies working on it are all brilliant with fresh points of view. Expect some great things to happen on the M.I.S.S website. I suggest setting it up in your Favorites, if it already isn't! You will still be able to catch me here, there, and everywhere! Thanks everyone so much for reading and I am looking forward to keeping you posted on what's next.<br /><br />Bless,<br />Jenessa<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></p>RIFEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16886164937595099231noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306142562998469477.post-69990903843415145042009-04-14T12:40:00.000-07:002009-04-14T12:42:57.303-07:00prop⋅a⋅gan⋅da <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tmz.com/media/2009/04/0413_chris_brown_ability.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

It offers loads of style photos and the women that inspired thier decade. If I could go back to any era, hands down it would be the late sixties early seventies with some super short mod haircut and lashes for days. Here I have famed muse, Edie Sedgwick, fashion icons Diana Vreeland with Veruschka, Catherine James, Anna Wholin, some mod fashions, women in topless bathing suits, and Monica Vitti smoking. This is just a snapshot of the website.

She played in over 20 films and including Carmen Jones, Lady from Louisiana, Tarzan's Peril. Carmen Jones gross 60k it's first week in 1954. She died at 42 from OD'ing on pills, but will always be remembered for her breakthrough rolls and contributions to the Black Community.RIFEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16886164937595099231noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306142562998469477.post-64633677499749905982009-03-18T08:37:00.000-07:002009-03-18T21:49:22.058-07:00Explicit IllsNorth Philly Native Mark Webber is bringing it back home...<br /><br /><object width="450" height="242"><param name="movie" value="http://www.traileraddict.com/emd/9167"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.traileraddict.com/emd/9167" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" wmode="transparent" width="450" height="242" allowFullScreen="true"></embed></object><br /><br />"EXPLICIT ILLS is actor turned helmer, Mark Webber's directorial debut. The film follows four inter-connecting stories revolving around love, drugs and poverty in Philadelphia. Babo, an asthma ridden seven-year-old lives with his mother in the badlands of North Philly. His neighbor Demetri transforms himself into a well-read "smart" boy in order to get the girl. Michelle, a well-off art student is quick to fall into a drug induced love-affair with her dealer Jacob. Kaleef and Jill's marriage is strained as they pursue their dreams of bringing "produce to the people" as their teenage son Heslin focuses on competing in the World's Strongest Man competition. The lyrical and moving drama finds its core as all members come together in their fight for justice and self-discovery."<br /><a href="http://www.explicitillsthemovie.com">Explicit Ills Website</a>RIFEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16886164937595099231noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306142562998469477.post-65927060078555668712009-03-18T08:12:00.000-07:002009-03-18T09:20:50.263-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJGpti8jaA7MCcjeyrV1JUFkc30W3T2IoG-aWZRd2rWrni5hE70B5ZkTAmX4HnhCBrluR5jopxTwdaEeqLq8ScjcsCThTWHhnT5il0G5VYdWR4QXOui4cwHna1BDlqq0mERIfcCwxeu10/s1600-h/4016865.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 258px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJGpti8jaA7MCcjeyrV1JUFkc30W3T2IoG-aWZRd2rWrni5hE70B5ZkTAmX4HnhCBrluR5jopxTwdaEeqLq8ScjcsCThTWHhnT5il0G5VYdWR4QXOui4cwHna1BDlqq0mERIfcCwxeu10/s400/4016865.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314546343085353378" /></a>RIFEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16886164937595099231noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306142562998469477.post-49097398960472130362009-03-18T08:02:00.000-07:002009-03-18T09:36:33.369-07:00ESPO "STUDIO GANGSTER"<object width="400" height="219"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=629579&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" /><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=629579&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="219"></embed></object><br /><a href="http://vimeo.com/629579">Steve "Espo" Powers - Studio Gangster</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/carlweston">Carl Weston</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.RIFEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16886164937595099231noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306142562998469477.post-28887006468363897602009-03-13T13:12:00.000-07:002009-03-13T13:35:25.181-07:00Michael Dupouy from La MJC<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgFSsF4rJ5wiPuIOQNnp2ua5zI_OmoF3MhjEGB5sVYW_E0zc4TzghBafK5nfGYQ1J1HHCWRXCKwB-5ZpuXOL0RvKwlWW5ymz92U0CQuYxe2UUcA5e6X0G1YI4OGVTmEcpDOMmSWwYw_cg/s1600-h/10_16_08_Michael_Dupouy17722.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgFSsF4rJ5wiPuIOQNnp2ua5zI_OmoF3MhjEGB5sVYW_E0zc4TzghBafK5nfGYQ1J1HHCWRXCKwB-5ZpuXOL0RvKwlWW5ymz92U0CQuYxe2UUcA5e6X0G1YI4OGVTmEcpDOMmSWwYw_cg/s320/10_16_08_Michael_Dupouy17722.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312771533544278690" /></a><br />Check out this video wth Michael Dupouy from La MJC.
