VOGUE & STYLE.com: BONNAROO

While I was decked out in all my jewelry and barely any clothes VOGUE wondered over to me and asked for an interview and picture for the style portion of their coverage of BONNAROO this last weekend!!  VOGUE loved my jewelry line RED DEVIL LOVE and even mentioned it in the article!  If VOGUE style editors are crazy about my jewelry I can’t wait to see what happens at fashion week this year!!!

944 DINNER PARTY

A few shots from the 944 Dinner Party my Steve and Paul, my editor and the VP of 944, took me to last night.  Naga Thai best Thai food in Dallas I swear it, I had the Green Curry!  There were like 35 of us, I’m pretty sure our bill was over $1500 easy.  I had a mai tai, white russian, then a margarita, all three were bomb.  We were on our way in the elevator of the W Hotel Residencies when the show we were going to at the palladium ended, I cant remember the name of who was playing off the top of my head but they were a rap group from the 90’s. Then we all proceeded to go see Soft Environmental Collapse @ Detour at The Cavern.  All around it was an amazing night by far, so much other stuff happened that I can’t really share with you, all good stuff but ya know, wink wink, haha.  I made so many connects and everyone loved my Jewelry!!!

WELCOME TO RED-DEVIL-LOVE

I spent all day working on the RED DEVIL LOVE Store today, but I finally got it the way I want it.  You can order from anywhere in the U.S. ONLY right now for $5.00, but eventually I’ll ship to more people outside the U.S. and the shipping will change.  You can pay by money order or by paypal which is convenient, and my address is listed in the store so that you know where to mail your money orders.  Once money order is received I’ll package and send your piece (or) pieces to you within 3-5 days, I can get pretty busy sometimes.  It comes with a card, care instructions, and a receipt.  If you see me or know me in real life, you can arrange to come by the house and pick out one you like, my inventory is growing rapidly, I’m getting about 10 new pieces a week, and have 20 already done.  Soon I’ll have leather, cuffs, headbands, new earrings and bracelets up in the store, I’m doing the product photography for it and building marketing banners for the store every day.

I’m really excited about getting the store finally up and running, you can actually buy my stuff now instead of just asking for me to make you one.  As I finish them, I will add them to the store so expect new things everyday basically.  Hopefully in the next month I am hoping to get a spot at the gallery RISING in Uptown Dallas to show 25 pieces of my Jewelry line and 25 photos that I have picked from my portfolio that most people have never seen and has never been posted online.  So 50 works of mine in all, half photos, half jewelry for RED DEVIL LOVE.  Included in these pieces will be 3 custom made pieces for HELLOx6.com and will be for sale as will all of the pieces and prints that will be on sale.  

Other than that I hope I see everyone and the ISHI CD RELEASE PARTY, you can get a ticket from John Mudd @ The Billiard Bar on lower Greenville Ave. tonight or Wednesday at DETOUR inside The Cavern also on lower Greenville Ave.  There is a donation to get a ticket, but you get a free CD and OPEN BAR, so how can you go wrong!  The Party is taking place @ Sons Of Herman Hall.

Friday

I have a massive update tomorrow: my birthday, edgefest, the highland park BBQ, fishing on me and my girlfriends 2-month anniversary, new jobs, new jewelry, iron man 2, benihanas, new photo projects, summer plans, camping, and lots of stuff happening for the future 🙂

But for now, I’ll leave you with this photo I love that I took outside my house today:

Pass the Tequilla, This Is A God-Damned Celebration…

Finished three new pieces today for REDDEVILLOVE, booked a restaurant shoot, assistant interview, pretty much got a job hopefully at urban, two days ago I became an official 944 Magazine Photographer (944 Magazine), filled out my credentials for Bonnaroo, booked a test shoot and collaboration in LA this summer w/my jewelry & I managed to wake up at 8am… Oh oh and I got a lawyer for the first time ever, which is kinda cool to have 🙂 I feel like my life is in warp-speed, next stop who knows… You know you love those Star Trek references, Mmhmm!

HOYOTOHO is having their CD Release tomorrow at 1111 Dragon street, such a cool street name, anyways, this is definitely where I’ll be taking photos tomorrow, the video opera is gonna be insane, I’ve seen pieces of it by Tim and yeah, the shits got me inspired, not to mention the afterparty at PM Lounge!

Also throwing my support out there to my boys and gal in Ishi tomorrow at The Loft, I know they’ll kick ass and get the Bonnaroo spot! I won’t be able to make it cause I think The Loft is evil for stealing and exploiting my photo work, but that’s another story 🙂

Now if you’ll excuse me I need to run to get a burrito doused in hot sauce & cheese then start drinking the night away for my unofficial/official birthday & party, my real birthday is on Saturday, May 1st. I plan on cooking out, swimming, etc., not entirely sure but I know I wanna smoke up a storm and drink margaritas all day and at some point hot wings and water balloons are gonna be involved.

Love

BONAROO 2010

This year at <b>Bonaroo</b> is going to be insane, I mean come-on, can you deny your eyes & ears the likes of The Flaming Lips w/ Stardeath & White Dwarfs perform “Dark Side of the Moon”?! I think not. I’ve only been once, it was probably to this date the best festival I’ve been at to date, except maybe Coachella last year.  Against Me! is supposed to play which I’m really siked about, I haven’t seen them since a few friends and I were at Gainseville Fest in Gainseville, FL., when Johnny, one of the lead singers of the late Blood Brothers, got us on the list due to my friends Amber, Robyn & Candice hitting on him and the band, haha, we didn’t have enough money to pay for all of us to have passes for the weekend. Of course It’ll be good to see my boys and gal in Neon Indian, they’re doing such a kick ass job right now!  Stevie Wonder will be epic, other than that I guess Jay-Z, Tenacious D, Damian Marley, etc. will also be badass.

I’m going to try to roadtrip there instead of flying, Tennessee Isn’t that far, not but a couple of hours, and besides, I want to make a photo-book  of the trip so I’m gonna wanna shoot a bunch of stuff.  I’m gonna use my vintage 70’s Rolliflex film camera along with, my minolta 35mm and of course Canon SLR.  I’m still going through my SXSW Photos, hopefully by Fall I’ll have about 500 photos to make a book of the summer’s festivals and other stuff I’ve been to.  

Don’t forget Burning Man, ACL, etc.

THREE Places I Want In My Life…

Machu Picchu, Peru

Monterray, Mexico

Lisboa, Portugal

There are other places but these are my top three I wanna see in the next two years, parts of me wants to jump on a boat right now and disappear into photographic/adventure bliss, but there’s plenty of time for all that shit later, haha.  I’ve got another update coming to you guys in a little while on my Jewelry, here’s a little preview to go along with the previous piece, The SPANIARD, introducing The JUAREZ, in several different color combos.

I’m gonna have a ton more for you guys here in a couple hours :]
