Jake Davis test shots are always really cool to watch. I try not to steal them because I feel like they are so specific to his blog and his content...but this little woman just inspired something. View all the Jake Davis Test Shots on his channel

Introducing Graham Knox...
Alex Goose’s Faberge Egg.
I met Graham on the rooftop of a boutique hotel in Atlanta in August. We shared the stage in the show that night, not concurrently but you know what I mean. It was also my first time hearing her music. What a nice introduction?! Since meeting Graham this summer, we’ve become friends and we’ve been able to go back and forth on ideas. She’s a gem. It doesn’t hurt that she’s gorgeous but the most glowing thing about Graham is her perspective. I mean her songwriting is awesome! Her ability to playfully walk a line between innocent optimism and grown-ass wit is uncanny (Listen to her lead single “Dollar” and then play her response on Cee-Lo’s “Fuck You” record, its crazy). She balances it all being being cheeky and subtly sexy.
Visit her site now to buy + listen + watch the Goose-Produced record, “DOLLAR”.

Jay West: "STICKS + STONES" video

Jay West
"Sticks + Stones"
Download: DRUGS + CANDY Mixtape LP
Dir: Phil The God
Initially, I never imagined shooting a video for "Sticks + Stones" but after Phil heard the record, he took the reigns and discussed what his vison was for it. After toiling over concepts and images, we decided that the goal was to do something as provocative and jarring as the lyrics to the song. Drugs + Candy came out at the beginning of summer but the ideas and visuals felt cold. We wanted it to stick with the viewer. So we dug deep and created a world --a visual landscape -- that we could draw the viewers into. Its grim. Being so, what better time to release than the month of October. The start to the Fall.
ALSO: This will be the last video for DRUGS+CANDY.
enjoy.

Silly Lovers
I write a lot of songs. A lot of songs never get used. I started writing this to a stolen melody and I would have to find the right voice to sing it. Maybe we can use it one day for a concert. I don't know. I don't have it all figured out.
And when i leave, i’m gon’ take you with me
You’ll never bear their bitter whispers again
Cuz when i leave i’m gon' take you with me.
So say goodbye to your friends
Silly lovers
We’ll wave goodbye as we pass
Silly lovers
And when i leave i’m gon’ take you with me
Pack all your biggest dreams, we’re never coming back
And when i leave i’m gon take you with me
We’ll never argue again
Silly lovers
We’ll wave goodbye to our past
simple.

Viktor & Rolf
These are actually from last season.
I just saw them in my archives and realized I never posted.
They're timeless looks. I might do one of these looks this weekend. Damn!

New Music: GILLES "Epitome of Arrogance"
I wake up this morning to find a press release in my inbox from my best friend. What's the world coming to? I just saw the guy yesterday and I didn't hear about this! His name is Gilles (pronounced JILZ) and he is warming up the world for the release of his mixtape LP, SUCCESSFULLY LOST. I did a record with Gilles for the project and I'm pretty excited about it. You will be to. Gilles is the kind of guy that's going to draw the world into his playground. Don't just take my word, take the music. Here's a free download of "Epitome of Arrogance" produced by SMKA and here are Gilles' words on the record...
Epitome of Arrogance by Gilles:
Imagine if “COOL” had a movie…It would probably be starring that dude from the Dos Equis commercials. But we digress. Let’s paint the picture: You pull up to an extravagant, not-so humble abode. There are only a few cars in the driveway and it appears that a young lady has dropped her wallet, perhaps, while hastily making her way through the entrance.
Notice the sign on the door:
“Stumble into the palace. In efforts to keep the place tidy, we ask that you remove all articles of clothing previously worn outdoors…We’re afraid that includes undergarments too. Sorry, it’s our after-hours policy. Ladies, kindly decide our breakfast menu for the following morning…Thanks.
- - Management”
Now, imagine the soundtrack.

On The Glenn
That's me sweating it out. These are shots from The Atlanta Stargazing show on the rooftop of The Glenn Hotel from August 13th. Man, things move so fast when you're in the thick of it so the photos help to capture things that would have otherwise been washed away by alcohol and smoke. Here's to these summer nights. Beautiful!

Pharrell Interview in INTERVIEW Magazine
I wanted to celebrate being smart, because I noticed that being a nerd when I was in high school was the corniest thing you could ever do. But for me, I'm like, 'Those are the guys that grow up and drive BMWs!'....
—Pharrell Williams
Perfect timing. On Monday Night, I sat down with my new creative spring-board homegirl at The Local on Ponce and we were talking all this nerdy, elitist type stuff really smelling ourselves and eating our own shit (Oh it was big time). One of the things we discussed is the mind of a person who is a creative as compared to people who are uhh....NOT. It got pretty heady and I took a lot away from the conversation that night. So yesterday, I'm browsing the internets and I comes across this awesome interview featuring Pharrell Williams and Dr. V.S. Ramachandran, a professor of neuroscience and psychology at the University of California, San Diego. You gotta check it out. It just blew the top off the whole convo I was having the other night. Plus these photos look a lot cooler on their site.

Kanye West: POWER (Fan-Made Video)
Kanye West - Power (Fan-made Music Video) from Benedict Tamidles on Vimeo.
For those that were less than thrilled by the video portrait that Ye premiered on 8/5, here is a fan made vid that's a decent alternative. For the record, I really enjoy the video for "POWER" and the imagery was like WHOA! We've been in the boat with Kanye before and there is a method to his madness. He is far more calculated than you may imagine...so hold on because the driver of the mission is a pro!

Top Model
One beautiful secret! Working on a totally different post, I stumbled across these photos of Toccara from Vogue Italia (like June/July 2008). Power is the word! I've never seen these until today and they are amazing! Better late than never. What do you think?
"Sticks + Stones" Video Stills
Here are some screen captures of Phil editing the S+S video.
No date on release just yet. Just be patient, its worth it.
Sebago and friends
Some of these designs are part of collaborations but they are all SEBAGO in some way. They're all really mean but the black joint is probably my favorite of the 4 featured. Images stolen from WilliamYan
