RED!!! - illy!

EpicRed_oneGame changers: RED digital cinema cameras! (Tech!!)
I think it was James over at Swirl films, mentioned to me this company called 'RED' that makes unbelievably high quality digital video cameras for equally unbelievably low prices. Allowing film-making shops to literally own the digital equipment at prices they were paying to rent real-film equipment for a week. The prices were still far beyond what the average consumer could afford - so aspiring, and starving, film-makers weren't really effected by this...just the smaller/mid-sized shops. That was true until last week when RED, after taunting the public with teasers, finally announced their new Scarlet model which shoots big-screen, cinema quality, footage and will cost just $2,500. Literally, a true game changer. I think it was on TechCrunch where they mentioned the absolute fear this must have stricken in Sony and Cannon, etc. There is just simply nothing that competes with it. And their catch-phrase that they 'render obsolescence obsolete' in that every part of the camera is modular and works with any new products they might develop, etc.

Also, check this video shot using a RED. Awesome.

Paul Smith launch their first sunglasses collection with Oakley for Spring/Summer 2009. The result is fresh and fun capsule collection of Frogskin frames in four striking colourways. With a distinct matt rubberised finish, the Oakley Frogskins were first released in 1986 and became a symbol of that decade’s surf and skate culture. The Paul Smith frames reflect their retro origins with their high-voltage colour - pink, purple, blue and an original camo design. The sunglasses are finished with gradient mirrored lenses. Only 500 pairs will be available and limited exclusively to be sold in Paul Smith shops.paul-smith-oakley-sunglasses-1paul-smith-oakley-sunglasses-1

kanye west knew exactly what he was doing every step of everyday.



These are pic's of dudes on the runway with KW/LV shoes - they start at 1100.00. To most people this would look like a no brainier for LV, however Very High-end fashion houses don't reach out to rappers - they don't need to.. In-fact it could hurt the brand if not done right. this co-lab was because he is a true tastemaker. But more Importantly KW forged a real friendship with Mark Jacobs - Creative Director of the prestigious French design house Louis Vuitton. Much like his relationship with "Hip Hop Since 1978" (HHS78) is a management/production company.

And through that real relationship, he was signed to Rocafella records.. I guess my point is god sometimes puts you in the right place at the right time, but you have to meet that fate with as much drive and planning and determination as you can.

true knitting needles, this was a gift from my head knitter. Ulli Marker ( 1 of the top 5 kniters in the USA, no joke.)



This is a pic of them in action, its a great honor for him to give me one of these. He has kept these needles for a very long time. The smaller one is one of the needles he learned how to knit on over 40 years ago - and if I was a rapper I would put it on a chain, and prob dip it in white gold.

thanks Ulli!

this is great - always make fun of yourself! you cant lose.

as bad as I hate to say it these new VV bags are killing it! I would have been crushing people in the airport with these!

the same t-shirt can be worthless and priceless.... i understand this now - after a yard-sale i just had at my parents house.

 Part of our backstage tour included the jockeys dressing room. Pretty cool stuff.

I have seen people stand in a line of 500+ people; for a chance at a promo VV T-shirt. I have also sold that same shirt at a yard sale for .50 cent. I have seen "Supreme" t-shirts sale for 50.00 at a NYC flagship store; and then I have been to the factory that helped them get started,in Lamar S.C. ( that they later, left to out-source in china) sale a prototype t-shirt for $4.00. I have seen people stand online for one hour or more for a free spring break promo t-shirt - that I could not give away later.

Its all value added, and perception!! - A good Louis Vuitton T-shirt is around 800.00, but why is that?
