FASHION, FAFI AND THE HARAJUKU BARBIE

A few things I am currently obsessed with:

So much is right with this video. Meadham Kirchhoff keep blowing my mind. The color, sparkle, texture…if I were in that room I would have been brought to tears.

I was actually almost brought to tears when I found out that one of my favorite artists ever, Fafi, is coming to Gallery Nucleus in April! What makes this so much more exciting, is that fact that she’s appearing in Alhambra (down the street from my Abuelita’s house)!  She’s promoting the release of her long awaited book, The Carmine Vault.  I’m totally going to Fosselman’s afterwards.

Also, I’ve been playing this new Nicki Minaj track repeatedly and obsessively.

WHATTA JANUARY!

OMG! My manifestations for the new year have started to happen…January was NUTS! So busy….Anyway, I’m back and these are a few things that have made me very happy lately:

COLOR, COLOR, COLOR! I could take all inspiration from the color palette used in this video.

Nicki Minaj for OPI “DID IT ON ‘EM”. I freaked out when I saw this at the salon….this is very close to my favorite color of the last 5 years…

Montana Black in Pistachio. I have been obsessed with this color and have used it multiple times for Hysteric Haus related projects.

But, even more exciting than all of the above:

the return of M.I.A.

FAVORITE SONGS OF 2011

It’s the end of the year! That means….lots of top 10 lists!

These are 10 of my favorite songs from 2011, in no particular order:

I Know Places- Lykke Li

My insides melt every time I hear this song.

Gucci Gucci- Kreayshawn

I’m not gonna lie-I wasn’t feeling this when I first heard/saw this. WOW did it grow on me. Plus, I’d smoke a blunt with Kreayshawn if given the chance.

I got the swag and it’s pumpin’ out my ovaries. Word.

PON PON PON- Kyary Pamyu Pamyu

I have  no idea what is being sung in this song….but it doesn’t even matter.

Video Games- Lana Del Rey

When I first heard this song I was intrigued, confused and left in awe. Feelings of being jabbed in the heart also persisted. This is such a deep song full of emotion…and it seems like she came out of nowhere..?!

Dance (A$$) Remix- Big Sean ft. Nicki Minaj

Nicki’s verse. PERIOD. Plus, I played this song obsessively for a week.
