Our friends at Blind and Sexy are serving up glasses-friendly hotness. I think they secretly are promoting LASIK but either way, their site is cool. It comes in the form of a Tumblr and features sexiness wrapped in glasses like a fetish for the blind. Check it.

A New Tyler Critelli single

2011-10-25T11:38:00.000-07:00

Just got word of a new Tyler Critelli single dropping this week. Its called "Leave the Light on" and its the first track from his upcoming album Secrets. His new site is building quite a buzz with its mysterious and alluring imagery with no real traces of what the album will sound like. Check out on the link above.

Yu Tsai on top

2011-05-19T12:23:00.000-07:00

If you aren't familiar with Yu Tsai's work then its time you were. He has been shooting major editorials and covers for all the big magazines and is gaining a reputation for being fearless behind the lens. His style is look none other one look at his work will turn you into a believer. Here is a little sample of the goods.

I've found a couple cool articles that are worth checking that take an in depth look at Yu Tsai's background. One is at digital photo pro here. And he was recently covered again by Lasik Surgery Los Angeles.

A throwback to Saturday Night Fever, Chromeo gets Romeo-like on the dance floor with a casting call of beauties. On a technical level, the fast cuts and moody lighting are reminiscent of the commercial days of Tony and Ridley Scott. Enjoy. Oh, and John Travolta better take some notes on these dance moves.

ART WALK{ING}

2009-12-12T20:14:00.000-08:00

Went to the Venice Art Walk the other night. For anyone who hasn't gone, it is a place of magic. We made our rounds through Abbot Kinney - mingling, analyzing, and gawking amongst the crowd of people. That place has a real unique vibe and every girl there is killing it. At one point in the night we ended up in some sort of medical marijuana store party. Some crazy dj was spinning his head off - guy was in his own world. Champagne, lights, and art. Everyone seemed to be acting quite strange which we discovered the reasoning behind after walking into the back room. Mounted under glass cabinets like jewelry were a variety of herbal remedies. Ended up running into some friends then we were out for the night... J'raffe

Giant Robot

Spent a bit of time in this store called Giant Robot. They have an odd assortment of books, paintings/sketches, and toys. Not regular toys but rather toys for 'big kids' who are into flashy sneakers and AZN collectibles. The place has a good vibe as well as enough random shit to satisfy an afternoon.

Thinking about becoming a DJ. This must be the key

2009-09-22T13:45:00.000-07:00

I guess they'll make anything into a video game. Now that they've oversaturated the guitar hero brand with an endless array of spin-offs, this was apparently the next step. This is only the beginning. I predict a Tiësto or some other 'big' DJ's version coming to a future near you.

Even comes with a 'real-life' mixer and table. I wonder if I can plug this in to Serato Scratch Live? Definitely bringing this to my next set.

What has the world come to?

2009-09-16T08:06:00.000-07:00

Shocking as it may be, this is real. I saw these girls' myspace page a couple years ago. I'm pretty sure they were in middle school. They were making shitty beats on an ibook using garageband loops, and singing into their built-in laptop mic. But like so many other tweens of the era, they had a 'kewt' myspace layout and plenty of animated GIFs to set them above the curve. Now they have a record deal? what the fuck. A perfect example of 'getting viral™'

Art Walk Anyone?

2009-09-10T13:20:00.001-07:00

Today is the 2nd Thursday of the month, do you know what that means? Yes, tonight is the downtown LA artwalk. If you've never done this we highly recommend it. There is everything from the most unbelievable work you've ever seen to stuff that makes you want to vomit it's so bad. 10,000 people, live music, great restaurants, it's sick. And afterwards the downtown bars get sick...check out The Crocker Club or the Edison Club

Clayton's Birthday Party

2009-09-02T18:00:00.001-07:00

Come rage with class for Claytons 20th birthday.

Starting off the night we will pre-game in the "bigger penthouse" I have rented at The Standard (DOWNTOWN)

Then we'll cruise to The Crocker Club.... The Crocker Club is actually an old bank from the 30's where we will have a section of the original vault roped off for the night. The place is super classy, which is why I am requiring that the guys attending wear suits. Don't be the douche who wears the tuxedo shirt, the actual club wont even let you in haha

When the Crocker Club closes at 2am we'll head back to the penthouse at The Standard where dj ///BONES will be spinning a set till the sun rises.

Throughout the night, Hart Houston will be taking professional pictures for everyone's enjoyment.

This nights going to be crazy and The Standard and the Crocker Club are really nice, id appreciate it if everyone could throw down $10 to help out with the cost!

If you have any questions or concerns just hit up Clayton Wolfe

Beer+burgers+beer pong+mini kidi pool, what could be better?

We've been blessed with a 15ft high by 50ft long white wall in our backyard. So to all you Artsy Fartsy kids who have skills with a spray can, get over here this Saturday and lets do a little artist collaboration Mural that will be visible to all of Playa Del Rey east of Pershing. Public Art on Private property...no cops!

And we now have corporate sponsorship! Nika Water will be supporting this event, so in addition to lots of alcohol there will now be lots of free bottled water!

Bring good vibes and all your creativity!

There will party pics photographed by our very own Clayton Wolfe so check J'raffe after the event to see what really happened. In addition we will have a photobooth set-up. Use your imagination...

DJ sets will be provided by ///BONES and recently added artist: FLASH

FLASH is local LA dj who has been tearing up lounges, parties, and clubs for years now. Check him out here: DJ FLASH

When electro gets 'Real'

2009-08-25T15:58:00.000-07:00

I'm kinda bummed/kinda excited that I saw this. I had a similar vision a couple months ago that involved a dramatic cinema-type video, cut 'just right'. The only difference was that my vision involved the quirky 90's hit movie, Ski School. I feel a little 'betrayed' that somebody used my idea but still excited that somebody used my idea. Watch how dangerous things get around 2:30 when the guy rollerblades down the hill.

Bonus Video : Acid Girls - The Numbers Song. Debating whether this video is genius or 'just weird'. kinda dig it tho

Bottled Water that's part of the Solution

2009-08-17T21:41:00.000-07:00

There's a new bottled water company out there that surprisingly is part of solution, not the problem. Nika Water donates 100% of its profits to poverty alleviation projects in 3rd world countries AND is the only Carbon Neutral bottled water company in the world. At this point you may be asking yourself why the fuck are they posting about a bottled water company on a music and fashion blog? The answer is simple...so many people have chosen to make their water bottles accessories that why not make Nika your next bottled water accessory. You're gonna drink water anyway so you might as well support a good water company.

2009-08-12T13:40:00.000-07:00

I like art that scares me a little bit. Tell a chick you have a thing for getting laid in a pool of blood and you're either in for a crazy night or the cops show up at your door...probably the latter. But either way Scott Rohlfs is one sick artist, and his work will probably leave you wondering why you're so freaked out and horny at the same time.

when ridiculous 80's movies are re-made...

2009-08-11T12:45:00.000-07:00

There seems to be a lot of hype over this new movie Tron Legacy. The movie is about 'some bro' who is searching for his father that has been living in a virtual world of "fierce programs and gladiatorial games" aka a video game for 25 years. Although everyone I know seems to be 'hyped' on it, it seems to me like its gonna be 2 hours of shitty acting and scarce dialogue shadowed by lots of action and 'cool' computer graphics that we'll laugh at in 10 years. The original Tron looked a bit like this...

ITS THE FUTURE circa 1982

On a positive note, somehow Daft Punk got hooked into scoring the entire film.

yay for Daft Punk. I'll probably see the movie just for this reason. Maybe not in theatres but definitely steal it off the internet
