I realized about six months ago what i really want to do with my life. Ha, sort of a late start but some things take longer than others.
Ive just started writing down all my ideas and different types of programs i would like to bring to and create a Youth and Arts center in Santa Cruz (my home town).
I never had a place to really go growing up.
Club Culture (punk rock dive of a club), The Farm in SF (another even worse club) and the streets around downtown.
I got in allot of trouble and made many stupid choices.
I figure creating a place where kids can go hang out and learn things that could lead to a career or just for fun would be a really great contribution.
Plus since the Arts are failing miserably in public schools it may be a change & encourage some futures in the arts.
Without the Art we would have no culture.
I do love making fashion and am so happy that i can make girls feel special about themselves but would like to leave more of a mark for the next generation.
Now i just have about a million things to figure out.
In the late 90’s The Murder City Devils were on of my favorite bands. Them & At the Drive in. Both Played pretty frequently in LA so i got to see them allot.
I don’t know what made me think of them right now.
I used to be excited to go see music. When i moved to LA i would go see shouws all the time.
Mostly by myself. I’m good for about 4-5 songs generally and then want to go. (not a fan of crowds) i have always been this way.
Hmm and i think i have A.D.D as well.
I got this in my email today its a cute video about prop 2. Basically it is an anti animal cruelty prop that would enable livestock to have room to stand up and turn around in their cages.
It would not take effect until 2010.
Well i sort of have to since that is how i make a living. And i would love to be able to work with other companies more and become a design studio and not have to sew everyday all day long.
I have become a really good sewer but would like to be doing more creative projects every day.
So that being said. This weekend we stopped by the Hot Topic in Hollywood and they just got in my accessories!! They are sort of scattered all over the store so its like a little treasure hunt.
And i added these tanks back to my store since people still ask.
I made this tank for Avril’s He Wasnt video and several more in different stripes.
Its sort of a doctumentary and sort of not. My favorite is the clips of DNA & The Plastics. If your a fan of No Wave and Basquiat and have not seen this movie you would probably really like it.
And then there is Don Letts Westway to the world. It is the best Clash documentary i have ever seen.
debate.
I cannot wait till tonight. It should be interesting. And even more so next week.
Ive never looked so forward to a presidential/vice presidential debate.
If you cant even multi task how the hell are you going to be president? Oh and if you cant make a decision thats a big one too.
Today i am making a book portfolio of my favorite images and all my press stuff. Maybe some art work but probably not.
I am ready to start new projects. We are moving our studio to another building very soon. Its a little smaller but a much better building and i don’t mind getting rid of stuff i don’t need to be in a happier working environment.
This next year is purely devoted to working hard moving forward and moving out of Los Angeles. I have a dream of a youth and Art center and need to start this project soon. Also Sean and i want a quieter life.
We live in a noisey city.
Hot Topic made this for the front of their website Monday. Its lovely Miss Mosh my new favorite model.
