Over the Rainbow

DateThursday, September 9, 2010 at 7:47AM

 

The inspiration for this lovely shoot reared from two things really, firstly, an up and coming fall trend of night time glamour, opulent bronze and gold with a red lip that never goes out of style. Model Rainbow is wearing a bronze geometric shape party dress paired with thigh high socks that have been seen recently on the Alexander Wang and Rag & Bone runways! I’m really hoping this fall to see a lot of Over accessorizing in the Right way! Chunky jewelry and stacked rings, especially stones and vintage are a great start.

Secondly, I wanted to dedicate this article and photo shoot to the late Lee Alexander McQueen. When I first saw this amazing gold and bronze printed shoulder padded jacket I immediately thought of a couple different outfits from his Fall 2010 Collection [ the last collection he created]. I was so inspired and happy to see it at H&M that I snatched it right up and wanted to show it everyone! The jacket itself is very unconventional and unique and is so reminiscent of what he last created. According to WWD McQueens last collection was inspired by “Byzantine art and Old Master paintings”

Alexander McQueen was a visionary and known for his highly controversial and extreme design aesthetic. McQueen drew inspiration from nature and other shocking topics and leaves people in awe after seeing a collection for the first time. When models walk down the runway, it’s like seeing pieces of live art work and not just mere clothing on a body. The impression he left is astounding. McQueen is mesmerizing, truly unique and a genius fashion designer that has definitely earned his respects in the high end fashion world. May we never forget Lee Alexander McQueen.

RIP

Dubstep? ...Yes, Please!

DateWednesday, September 1, 2010 at 4:13PM

Dub Dorado has rapidly become my favorite night among all nights to go out and enjoy myself.

In the view of some, I probably enjoy myself entirely too much at El Dorado every 2nd and 4thWednesday of the month.  My response is simply: “How can I not”?

I have to be honest and say that I didn’t know an incredible amount about the “dub- step scene” before jumping into my first Wednesday of “Dub Dorado”.  I deeply felt whatever the hell was inside this form of electronic music (the breakdowns, the transitions, etc.) and that is something I simply couldn’t deny.  I can’t begin to explain to you how incredibly hard I dance in unison with an entire crowd to this phenomenon that has seemingly taken over the nights in San Diego.  You’ll just have to witness.

We would love to see you out at the next Dub Dorado.  You should come expecting the usual suspects.  Head$hake (Mintphonic), Austin Speed, Mr. Biggs (Turntable Lab), and as always a very promising headlining talent will take you to another dimension of sound and pleasure that you never knew existed.

Without a doubt, after a few nights of Dub Dorado, it rapidly became my favorite among all nights to go out and literally let go of every single inhibition.  Make it yours as well. Don't believe me? We captured all of them so far: 

Dub Dorado

Dub Dorado II

Dub Dorado III

Dub Dorado IV

Dub Dorado V

I may even get naked with you next time this Wednesday September 8th, right there on the dance floor.  Stranger things have happened!

Chro-ME-OOOOH!

DateTuesday, August 17, 2010 at 1:36PM

I try to put forth 110% into every project, but when I get an opportunity to shoot live music, I always jump at the chance and really put my full passion into it... 

Here are highlights of the Chromeo show last night at the House of Blues San Diego, see more here.

ENJOY!

It's the (NORTH PARK) Music (Thing)

DateWednesday, August 11, 2010 at 5:24PM

Aaron Blomberg of Shark Attack

Mike Cooper of HyenaThis weekend will be my very first experience with the much anticipated North Park Music Thing, and I couldn't be more excited.

After very careful consideration of all venues and acts included in this weekends festivities, I have my route mapped and I'm ready to enjoy it to the fullest.

Venues ranging from The Whistle Stop to U-31, The Office to The Ruby Room, and beyond promise to be packed with phenomenal acts for this years North Park Music Thing.  
Gaux Nu Vaux
The venue that I am looking forward to hanging around the most?  U-31.  

Both Friday and Saturday have bands that I have seen and am a huge fan of, and a few that I have been wanting to see.  In that includes The Silent Comedy on Friday at 12:35. and back to back phenomenal shows will have my full attention on Saturday with Hyena, Gaux Nu Vaux and Shark Attack taking over a two hour (10:35 - 12:35) block.

If you are wanting to know my pick for "the place to be" during this weekend's North Park Music Thing…  I'm going with U-31 on Saturday.  

I'm looking forward to reviewing and writing about this event when it's all said and done next week. See you there, friends.

Disco Afterlife!

DateWednesday, July 28, 2010 at 4:40PM

 

“The culture became a part of me, and then it became me.” 

This alone describes David “Afterlife” Williams, his passion for his work, the road that he took to becoming one of the most respected DJs in the San Diego scene, and where his future is headed.
 
So how does someone who's roots in the hardcore scene of his hometown Jacksonville, Florida branch out and make his way to the exclusive bars and nightclubs of San Diego? By way of Bahrain and Dubai, that’s how.  During Afterlife’s stint in the military, he gained knowledge and passion for a very broad spectrum of music and theory.  I mean, what the hell else can you do in the middle of the desert?  You learn and dream.
 
His plans and dreams included learning literally enough of every instrument to become a one man band.  I have another question for you.  How the hell was he to use all learned instruments simultaneously to piece together a work of art that he could share with the world?
 
Mastering another craft...  Electronic Music.
 
“Disco House is my favorite.  The music is harmonic, spacey, and moves like a never ending dream.”
 
You can’t speak like that about something that you aren’t passionate about.  Afterlife knows exactly what he wants in his style of music.  He wants you to dance.  He wants you to feel in your soul what is coming from the other side of the speakers, and he uses exactly the right tools for the job.  In fact, he uses one tool that no one else does, and he gave the secret to Turbo.FM to share.
 
“The Tonium Pacemaker is what I'm best known for here in San Diego.  I'm the only one that uses and plays an entire set live with one. It's the size of a Sony PSP and holds up to 120GBs of music.”
 
Sure, equipment comes into play, but everyone knows that the technique keeps them coming back to dance to certain sounds every weekend.  It’s the flow and feel of the set. The technique, he has; harmonically blending tracks, vinyl styling, hi and lo filter, and the build- up are all things that keep you coming back to this magical sound every chance you get to hear it.
 
It’s an art, and he is an artist. 
 
 
 
“Make an impression on the listeners that they will never forget.”
 
You owe it to yourself to experience a set from David Afterlife.  Where is he going?  In these humble eyes and ears, straight to the top and he won’t stop.  He doesn’t know how. There is a reason you go see him whenever you can.  If you haven’t, he has put in his time to perfect the art of the set, and you should take the time necessary to have your mind un-naturally blown.
 
Not to worry though.  If you haven’t, Turbo.FM has you covered with an exclusive mix [Download].
 

Enjoy, my friends.

Costumes? No, this is safety gear!

DateThursday, July 22, 2010 at 5:36PM

At Comic-con all too often you fun into all kinds of Fan-Fashion. From props from real movie sets to faux-replicas to be worn as costumes. While at this year's Comic-Con I ran into what I thought was the same old-same old... but alas, I was wrong.

With all the hype from the upcoming Tron Legacy trailer above movie all over the convention it was easy to dismiss Universal Designs Full Leather Motorcycle suits as fancy promotional costumes. Upon closer inspection, however, the detail becomes clear: these suits are not merely costumes, but fully functional motorcycle safety gear! As an avid rider myself in the past, I spent hundreds if not thousands of dollars on "real" leathers made by the likes of Vanson, Joe Rocket, and other brands. For around $1300 you can get an Officially Licensed Movie Replica that performs both functions! When I say Movie Replica I mean SCREEN ACCURATE, and David Pea, proprietor of Universal Designs out of Toronto, Canada, has assured that when you wear this suit it's as close to the real thing as possible, without spending $20000 at an auction... and it'll actually protect you! 

Each suit has CE approved armor which is removable along with the thermal liner. So if you are so inclined to wear it as a costume (just don't tell David!) you can strip it down to its bare essentials. 

Currently David has four models (five if you include the female Tron Suit), all shown at Comic-con this year. Along with Tron, there are [left to right below] Wolverine, Iron Man 2, and The Dark Knight (Batman). If you are interested be sure to stop by the UD and Tron booths and say hi to David!

Oh, and the Tron suit lights up too!! (I know, totally geeky)
