SAN FRANCISCO

A few weeks ago Jonathan and I got to experience the beauty of San Fran for the fist time. Thanks to our great friends the weekend trip was amazing! We didn't get to take many pictures but we did have a small impromptu photo shoot in a beautifully painted alley. Coincidentally there was a photographer there who was willing to snap photos of us in exchange for shots with her film camera as well. Hey, sometimes you're just at the right place at the right time.


Here we are with our new friend Regina and our good friend James.

NINA HAGEN

Nina Hagen is one of the most interesting people on the planet. I don't even know if she is from this planet. Watch this interview on David Letterman. There will be more Nina to come!

Here's an mp3 of a live performance of this song in much higher quality:

SOUL II SOUL

For some reason I can't seem to get Soul II Soul's "Keep On Movin'" out of my head. For the past three weeks I have found myself listening to the record at least once a day. Maybe it's the message I'm drawn to? "Keep on movin/ don't stop like the hands of time/ click clock, find your own way to stay/ the time will come one day."

Uploaded by EMI_Music. - Music videos, artist interviews, concerts and more.


It comes as no surprise that the music video is as equally amazing as the track. Caron Wheeler's (lead vocalist)shy smile is radiant and Jazzie B's (producer) energy never ceases. I really hope one day I can get my hands on a vintage Soul II Soul t-shirt or leather jacket. I'd probably be wearing it just as much as I listen to the song, every day!

R&BZIN IT



Since there's been a complete and utter lack of R&B in mainstream today (outside of Keyshia Cole), we want to dedicate a couple posts a month to 90s R&B. This Guy track was technically released in the late 1980s, but this type of bump & grind swang definitely set the tone for what was to come. Call it ghetto if you want, but this sh*z is a masterpeice! Aaron Hall's voice is like a big, melting heap of buttery nostalgia. The producer of this group, Teddy Riley, is also known for his recent work on Lady Gaga's track "Teeth," which can be found on the Fame Monster album. I'm not going to bother posting the MP3 of said track 'cuz I'm sure it's either been deluxe editioned, pirated or making you sick to your stomach by now.

KELIS


In 2006 Kelis shocked the world by coming out with a fresh new sound and new fashion forward image to go with it. When other artist were satisfied with sparkling tops and Diana Ross style manes Kelis was serving you FASHION. She declared her "Bossy"ness with a sassy attitude that only she could deliver.

Now after a tumultuous divorce with hip hop legend Nas, Kelis is ready to make the world DANCE DANCE DANCE. Is she crying in a corner somewhere? No! She has transformed yet again into a strong, futuristic, warrior goddess. With her latest offering "Acapella" we see that she has found a new joy in life, being a mother. There will be no more "bringing the boys to the yard" because the new boy in her life is the one SHE gave life to.





Kelis - Acapella

KATIE EARY


London based menswear designer Katie Eary's work is definitely making waves in the fashion world. Immediately after graduating from the Royal School of Art in 2008, she was contacted by British Vogue for a spread with Mario Testino shooting her graduate peices on Kate Moss.

The running thread between her collections seems to be a somewhat macabre, militant, hi street fashion approach with a contemporary pop-art twist. So fresh.




This collection was the first men's collection in a while to really inspire and breathe nu life into us. The hardware alone is enough for us to survive off of.
(SS10)





Just when we thought the bomb had maxed, we found that the FW10 collection was just as giving. The mix of textures, bold color and iridescent shine is so fit!

JEM & THE HOLOGRAMS

Lately we have been obsessed with the animated series Jem & The Holograms. I was too young to experience the show when it first aired in the late 80s but thanks to youtube I can get my Jem fix anytime! Speaking of fixes, look what happens when one of the starlight girls develops a small drug habit.



Scandalous!
