Guns, Pistols, and PUMPS Oh MY! - V

I LOVE guns... i dunno why? I just like they way they look and the way they feel. I have some weird fascination with power exuded from the beauty in danger blablabla and all that it represents... ANYWAY I was reading Bazaar the other say and saw this shit: the Chanel Resort 2009 collection featuring the 'Miami Vice' pistol-heeled shoe. which is exactly what it is, a shoe that has a gun for it's heel. wtf right? it's so weird. Edgy it is, but if you ask me, Uncle Karl has lost it.


The other day Mims and I went to Motivation Boutique to say hi to Mike and Indra. also to get some feedback on the designs. and Lo and behold! the HELLZ BELLZ Danger Is My Beat T-shirt...
So... Is this a new fad? I totally saw this coming though: high fashion inspired by an ever elevating standard of "hardcore-ness"
what's next? Blood spatter? dead animals? decapitated limbs? LOL

Lips <3,
V

DunXchange at St. Andrews Hall Detroit - By Vicky Vegas

Last night we went to the DunkXchange at St. Andrews Hall in Detroit. Our Friends Mike and Indra from Motivation had a table set up there. We went with our new Sistine friends Jason and Lei.


Detroit surprisingly is NOT as bad as people think. I mean there were bums everwhere riding around on bikes, asking Lei for ciggies and asking Jason to watch out for their bags full of Miller Lite cans, but cumon, they're harmless.

Mimy and I thought of this event as our first step in networking. We talked to a lot of designers, store owners and photographers. Everyone was very nice and supportive which was awesome. After talking to Mike and Indra, it really pushed us to work harder.

Networking is ALWAYS something I've considered MOST important in many aspects of life. It all began with job hunting, want a job? make sure EVERYONE knows, six degrees of separation man. plus you never know who you'll bump into, learn from, or become friends with. it could seriously be the next person you decide to strike up a conversation with. Maybe it's cz i was in China for 3 months, doing too much networking and acting a lot more friendly than i am normally, but I definitely see the benefits of being social, and being friendly. it brings personal and professional satisfaction for yourself and those around you.

Go Gettaz - Mimy Kiwi

So today, Vicky and I met up at Espresso Royal as usual and started brainstorming our ideas for the shirts. We spent about 3 hours coming with ideas. After that we met up with Mike & Indra from Motivation and Jason & Lei from Sistine. They all inspired me to really take this seriously and just go for it! hahaha. We got many tips from Mike & Indra and they were really helpful. So one thing Mike suggested was to change our logo... so I am going to be working on that! I like getting feedbacks! Even if it's a negative comment, it's still a plus for me! & We are getting our business license or whatever tomorrow... It's only been 6 days, I know, but if we want IT BAD, we just gotta MAKE THIS HAPPEN! we can't just sit back home and wait for it to happen... we just gotta go get em!!!!! LIVE LIKE THERE'S NO TOMORROW!!!
