THE WELL LA

I was given the blessin' to work with the coolest store in LA two years ago. They are a hair salon, event space, and sell retail... triple THREATS.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO HOME - BROADWAY THEATRE

SCENE: So it was a lovely "spring" (a whole 50 degrees ) BK Sunday and I was lounging at Cafe Regular in Park Slope. The fixes were on full swing, model esc young couples flirt in the seconds of sun... it was one of those out-of-movie-new-york-days. I had been YEARNING for some sort of collaboration and it just so happened that my friend, Aileen was acting in and helping produce a play named, "You Don't Have to Go Home."

I find out that the play is a series of four original one-act plays written and directed by local artists. Each act follows a different set of characters home after an unseen party on a weekend night in NYC. It is highly relatable to any age since it grasps on the complex lives of these young New Yorkers who are navigating through life's turning points.

I read one of the acts and find out that it is not only so similar to my life at the moment but that it is also... AMAZING... flawless... heart wrenching... Have I convinced you to buy a ticket yet??

These young and talented artists completely put this play together out of pocket and through indie-go-go! I ended up finding out that they don't have anyone doing their PR so here is my blog post PR'ing' the play.

HERE IS THE REAL PRESS RELEASE: 

I AM ON SOCIETY 6!

Living in NYC is incredible to say the least, but with the various nudges that feel like "once in a lifetime experiences" comes a serious dent in the wallet - hashtag broke in brooklyn, YA-FEEL-me? SO,  in order to do what I love AND make a little bit of extra money (hopefully) I joined Society 6 - maybe make some extra cash, mingle and jingle with other artists, or fulfill some internal accomplishment. Whatever it is... PEEPS CAN BUY MY ART!

Shopping with Chanel

Countless reporters, bloggers and editors were blown away from the entire production of the Chanel Fall 2014/15 Ready-to-Wear collection. The Grand Palais was completely reinvented into a Chanel themed shopping center that was dazzling with the fall collection worn by picture perfect models. Coco Pops cereal, Risotto rice a la Venere Elsa... the list went on, Karl did not miss one detail including the 20-50% up, not off. The fashion King, Karl Lagerfeld explained in an interview, “Nobody tells us what to do, we do what we want. I like fashion to be part of daily life,” this including the modern grocery shopper who never forgets to slip on her Chanel sneakers before leaving the house.

  

Accessibility and a sporty translated into the designs that sparkled, and shimmered down the shopping aisles. Texturally rich and filled with color the fall collection was anything but bleak. Chanel headphones hung around necks, knee high sneakers laced up legs and tweed trimmings wrapped the ponytails of the most prestigious models in the industry.

There was high anticipation from the spectators that were eying the one- of-a-kind Chanel consumer items. It was then, “announced that the Chanel Shopping Centre would be closing and that attendees could help themselves to complimentary fruit and vegetables.” Chaos broke out and editors pounced for the Mademoiselle Prive doormat and Chanel gardening gloves. It was then announced security was confiscating anything besides the fruit and veggies, leaving avid Chanel fans disappointed.

Fashion blogger, Susie Bubble ex- plains, “people have been taking umbrage at the perceived idea that Lagerfeld is making some smirking comment on 21st century consumerism.” On the contrary Karl was creating a desirable yet unattainable environment, something he has fine crafted for Chanel over the years.  The label understands in order to gain consumer following there needs to be more then just incredible designs, there needs to be a story; an experience. Living in a world of technology and instant gratification it has created a consumer that needs to be satisfied at an instant. All senses need to be touched.

Karl has always had a clear vision when it comes to each collection. He describes that being Chanel means they can experiment with an incredible amount of freedom that sparks creativity producing flawless designs to keep consumers wanting and needing more Chanel.
