Meez: Animated Avatars

Published by

This stuff is classic. Meez is the best avatar program I’ve seen in terms of facial choices (skin colour, nose shape, etc). They just don’t have the hair right. I have an afro. They have afros, but they are like huge Foxy Brown types. This me krumping. LOL Meez is a total time waster, but lots of fun. It’s a 3d avatar system with extensive wardrobe, backgrounds and animations. I can’t wait to see your avatars, please post them in the comments. Use the smaller 175×233 animated option for the comments

Steven Meisel: Smart Moves

Steven Meisel Smart Moves: Vogue Feature Story on Style.com A little picture commentary for you by me. This is from Vogue January 2007. I’ve been ignoring this rave fashion trend that is supposely coming back. I figured it would be just a fringe thing. This picture has the dreaded sneaker heel by Dries Van Noten. I really like this photo for some reason. I do hope that this look doesn’t go mainstream. I like it and all, but it’s not something I want to see executed without stylist supervision. I hate to admit this but I do like this layered tank by Marc Jacobs. Makeup and hat are a big no for me though. images: vogue

The illest villian, Madvillain Kidrobot and Stones Throw Records have teamed up to create the Madvillain toy. I’m so psyched, Madvillian is the coolest villain ever. It’s even got MF Doom’s mask, how great is that. If you have no idea what I’m talking about you need to get your hands on the album Madvillainy. It’s one of my favourite albums ever. Thanks to the crew at Magic Pony for stocking this. image: magic-pony.com

Ankle boot by Gwendolyn Carrié I’m a big fan of the menswear trend and when I saw these ankle boots I immediately thought of a crisp white shirt, suspenders and black tailored pants. I great top hat and a cane would be fun too. 😀 Of course, there are no retailers in Canada. images: gwendolyncarrie.com, johnhelmer.com

Owl cocktail ring by Karen Walker Jewelery I’m not a big ring person but I’m in love with this Owl Cocktail Ring. It’s available in different metals like sterling silver (my favourite), white gold and yellow gold. Karen is definitely working the animal jewelry trend. In addition to owls she also uses lions. I really like the Lion head pendant. The product shots on her website are really innovative. I love the use of animals. I’m pretty sure the lobster was probably dead before shooting this but I’m not sure about the others.

American Masters Annie Leibovitz

Published by

I recently watched the American Masters profile of Annie Leibovitz. I thought it was a really great show and I learned so much about Annie. Not that I knew much, hell, I didn’t even know she was a lesbian. If you can see the rerun tonight, be sure to check it out. I’ve been searching the Internet for a video but have had no luck.
