hmm.

life is really strange... but yeah stumbled on this on fb... didn't make it completely better.. but helps a bit...

Thanks Parsons.

It's been an absolutely wonderful 4 weeks. I knew I said I'd try to blog more when I'm here, but it didn't really work out. School's kept me busy. But in any case, it's been a really great experience. I have met some of the coolest, funniest, smartest, and most creative ppl and it's been really refreshing to be in this environment. A lot of new ideas and new perspectives. 

I came into it with no real expectations. Brought my open mind and let the rest of it fall into place. Content-wise, it really worked out for me. I enjoyed almost everything we talked about--innovation, scenario building, blue oceans, personas, sustainability, etc... The stuff that I'm able to take away are very useful and applicable to my future endeavors. So thank you Parsons, and to everyone who made it all worth it. : )

Me n my Yeezys.

I love them. Moon boots. Hot moon boots. 

I love how Kanye made a whole new silhouette. Not just changing colors on a pair of AM90s or something. He's actually doing the same with Louis Vuitton. (dropped recently for a cool 800-1000USD). Totally new designs tho. Absolutely brilliant. 

Other designers should take notes. It's not just about cool colors and limited editions. It's about creating something no one's seen before. There will be haters, but on the other end of the spectrum, there will those who are just drooling over them. Me included. 

Random Thought: jellies!

Everyday, I walk across this bridge to get to work. Recently, on my way over said bridge, I've noticed a bunch of these white spots in the water. "What are those things?" I thought. Could it be? They're jellyfish of course!!

Anyway... So on my way home today I saw another one of these jellies and had a few random thoughts:

- What are they doing here all of a sudden? And why are there so many of them?

- What exactly is a jellyfish?? I mean, it doesn't look like a fish.

- What do they eat?? How do they eat??

- They don't have eyes. 

- Do these jellies have a brain??

- Hmm. it must be fun to bounce around on top of these jellies like in finding nemo.

So there you have it. A few random thoughts. I probably seem really dumb, but oh well. I can totally just google/wikipedia jellyfish, but I kind of like not really knowing the answers to my questions. It makes it more interesting cz I can just imagine different things. : )

retardED HARDY.

During my recent travels thru various airports, I spotted one of the most hideous things ever--an Ed Hardy carryon luggage suitcase. If roses, skulls, and roaring tigers are your thing, then stop reading now... I'm only going to offend you further... Anyway, I absolutely despise Ed Hardy to begin with. Seeing these damn tigers and ugly tattoo designs on shirts, shoes, hats, etc... really just pisses me off. 1. They're hideous. 2. They scream "I'm a d-bag!" to everyone around you, and 3. They're everywhere! How?!? Why?!?!? They're so effing ugly. wtf. How can anyone actually think that these items look good? The fact that I see people rockin' Ed Hardy stuff everywhere boggles my mind. I mean the guy puts these ugly ass tattoo designs on everything, trying to make a buck out of every sucker (/d-bag) out there who think they're BA but still fashionable. 

So anyway this girl with the carryon was in full Ed Hardy gear. Sweats and all. So I guess she's down with that whole trend. Whether she thinks she's being stylish or not, I guess I can't judge. Different strokes for different folks right? ... It's cool if you're down with that, but I personally wouldn't dress up in Ed Hardy gear with skulls and "tattoo art" all over my shirt. 

Bottom line-- the brand is killing itself. The designs are on everything imaginable. They're on shoes, shirts, hoodies, sweats, hats, handbags, luggage bags, and d-bags. Why would a company want to do that?? Especially one that is positioning itself as a fairly high-end brand with store locations on Newbury St. in Boston and in New York's SoHo area.  Once the dust settles, and the d-bags return to their plain white wife-beaters, the company is done. It'll be following in the footsteps of Von Dutch. A brand that died, thanks to the same person who now holds the rights to Don Ed Hardy's (tattoo artist) art. Fine, he gets his money so he can't complain right? but still.. terrible strategy.
