Songs that make me happy

This is directly related to the soundtrack of my childhood... back when I really was innocent.

Time Flies

I know I have been busy as hell doing absolutely nothing and everything I shouldn't be doing (partying, drinking, partying... well, drinking)... but I figured it was time to get up to date with posts. I went back to my obsession with 90s dance; I know, ridiculous. I just find that, if played at the right moment, it works in amazing ways.

Take this... I just got back from class. Bronchitis (yet again). I have a whole day of responsibilities ahead of me. Technotronic. What other video would have done its magic as this one did?

I Miss morefashionplz

Since, somehow, my computer decided to stop connecting to our wireless network, I havent been able to blog at peace. Yes, it's been a while!

MIA update: Art Basel going on this week. That one week that we all have been waiting anxiously for. 

My current concern is boys who cannot dress. Why is it that you, the man who takes himself too seriously to care, won't spend an extra five minutes before heading out in front of the mirror? What is so hard about editing, taking on/off? Go ahead! Take an interest in dressing up, a night out on the town is a nice excuse for you to want to spice it up and give us ladies something to look at.

Some looks that, at this precise moment, three MIA girls find quite nice. 

Cheers, enjoy and cherish one another.

Gobble Gobble

Well I thought it would be very appropriate to wish everyone a very happy thanksgiving, being that the day is already over. Sadly enough, I spend my night alone with the computer and watch this kind of videos (over and over).

I'll never forget...

The first time I heard this song. I don't really know if it was curiosity, mere interest, or a random feeling that drew me to listen to Mars Volta. Truth is, this song, The Widow, has always been able to leave that sad, yet good, feeling in me.



So I sit in front of the screen, after watching the usual weekly movie after work. I sit and I wonder what I can write about that would interest people, or just the few bored ones who read this blog. I think about writing about some new song, about a up and coming artist, or just about fashion. Truth is, I haven't had one day to myself in weeks. I need some time to catch up with school work (fashion design might seem a breeze, but it is nothing but work). I have been wanting to go to a museum, since I find myself lacking inspiration. Maybe all these months that I have been partying have finally caught up with me, and my brain is as exhausted as my body from staying up all night dancing my life away in the downtown club-of-the-day.
I am not saying I will stop going out altogether... I just feel like I need a break. A shift of focus towards what really matters. This upcoming year might just be one of the most exciting yet. Its time to get to work and find ways to make all my plans, a reality.

808s & Heartbreak

So I went on myspace and previewed Kanye's new album, as advised by Mr. Tom. I have to admit, after watching his performance of "Love Lockdown", that I expected something different this time around. Yes, it is true that he keeps reinventing himself and he touches different genres with great skill... but I REALLY like 808s & Heartbreak because it transcends hip hop, and reaches dancey beats (which I really dig).
Some tracks I really liked: Amazing, Paranoid, the violins in RoboCop, Street Lights.
I read an article about his video for "Heartless" being, possibly, the future of music videos. If this is what the future looks like, I am intrigued as to what we will be seeing further on.
Check it out:

I am sorry about the brief post... The night might be young but I am officially running late for the opening of The King Is Dead in the Design District.

1990s fever? / Cant Get Over Balenciaga

I know I have neglected the blog. My apologies to, well, myself.

I have been on a hunt for old/new music. What I mean by this is old songs that I can add to my library. Lately, I have been drawn to the cheesy 90s dance type of music. The list is growing, but I can always use more. Should anyone have any suggestions, please leave a comment.

Some stuff I have found so far:

Madison Avenue - Don't call me baby

Snap - Rhythm is a dancer

M People - Moving on up

La Bouche - Be my lover

and the list goes on.

Otro tema...

Ever since Ghesquiere unveiled his FW07-08 collection for Balenciaga, I have been drawn to everything he does. He always finds a way to show us something new and spectacular, like in his latest collection. Honestly, I was in a state of stupidity, watching look after look, how his fabrics would change color with the playful addition of the most basic concept yet: light.

He has, once again, left fashion lovers and aficionados, with something to talk about.

I strongly advice everyone to watch it. Then, let me know what your thoughts are.
