Donna Summer - She Works Hard For The Money

A very beautiful and talented woman died at the age of 63 in her Florida residence, after battling cancer for many years. She has been an inspiration and the voice of many women throughout the world. Listening to her songs, my all-time favorite song has always been "She Works Hard For the Money". This song epitomizes the everyday stuggle a woman has to endure and at the same time give up what she loves to do, and in this case its dancing. She's working two jobs with two bratty kids that symbolizes the ideals and traditions of the american family with one parent, this is considered art because one can relate to this subject matter and get the sensation of going through similar adjustments in life. I really enjoy her and her videos she is definitely a one-of-a-kind package that should be showcased for our younger generation today.

"We are Cristina and Sara, mother and daughter, the founders of BOA—the first Eco and Ethical lifestyle brand established in Morocco. Before creating BOA, we were discouraged by the lack of affordable, high-quality, and eco-friendly fashion available. We wanted ethical-fashion chic enough to wear anywhere—work, out to lunch, Yoga--or perhaps a last-minute flight to the St. Barth (let's go!). We wanted comfort without compromise. And of course, we wanted style!We live in Casablanca, Morocco—but are Italians by nature.These two countries are reflected in every aspect of the BOA lines: from our design inspirations and color palettes to the high quality standard and authentic materials we use in making our garments. As women dedicated to supporting change, we wanted to produce each and every one of our pieces ethically. As a result, we have moved all production of BOA products out of factories and into our Women’s Cooperative established here in Casablanca, the ‘Cotton Blossom.’ This decision allowed us to embrace our vision and support economic growth and the empowerment of women locally."

"BOA was born because we refused to compromise style or ethics —and with BOA, neither do you."

From Africa with Love,
Cristina and Sara

 

Oreo Fudge Cremes Commercial Indescribably Good!

So the other day as I was watching t.v., I came across this commercial  that Oreos came out with the Fugde and Creme in the center, so delicious by the way. I had to see for real if they were as good as the commerical depicts it. And behold it did, this commerical is funny simple and straight to the point, my favorite one obvously "Shut the front door", classic could not get any better than this commercial!

I love it so much, because its as real as it get could get, meaning that this is the modern family today versus 30 years ago it focused more on family ideals and morals, very cliche' you could say.  The commercial is as literal as its tag line "Indescribably Good", the kids wait until the father tries it, and they all start the domino affect of not being able to describe how good  this is. The grandfather cracks me up when he says "Franklin Delano" which is a little stereotypical since our grandparents are old-school and more proper, but it's cute at the same time!

Shepard Fairey: Printing "Harmony & Discord" at Pace Prints

Shepard Fairey spent several weeks in New York in July 2011 and February 2012, creating and printing the works for his forthcoming exhibition at Pace Prints. In this video, he discusses the ideas behind the works and the printmaking processes that he used. All the works were created at the Pace Paper studio and Watanabe Press in Brooklyn.

The exhibition "Harmony & Discord" opens Saturday May 5 at Pace Prints, 521 West 26th Street, New York. For more information, visit http://www.paceprints.com/shepardfairey

His art work is amazing he really tried to break the boundaries of old school pop art and merge it with the modern street art. His work is also known to be a sell out because he does some illegal stencils but is famous and in the graffiti scene it's known to be a sell out.  But he clearly states that he is not trying to be that graffiti artist per say, but the streets of New York did influence him on his work. His work has been also seen in last several years of Art Basel in The Wynwood district.

Christo and Jean-Claude

In the 1980s, Miami became one of the ideal places to visit, the best vacation homes, and tiny little islands where you could drink and have a good time with friends and family. Artists Christo and Jean-Claude are renown new realist artists from Paris. They first started their production in the 1970s and did amazing work all over the world. People say its just wrapping but its a a little deeper than what you see on the surface area.  So what they did here on these islands was incredible, they wrapped with fabric all around the tiny islands, but before they did that. they obviously had to take dimensions it not a one man team. What they found completely stunned them, refrigerators, bottles, all the imaginable garbage was found there. They took initiative and blocked it off, how crazy is that. But the picture symbolizes how crazy people got when they were on their boats and couldn't get access to these islands to have a good time, they didn't get it. But the point was made, when you abuse of what nature gives you, do your part and give back.  But never less check out their work its amazing!!!!! Christo and Jean-Claude

So on April 30th on a Monday night I saw the world premiere of the new series "The Pitch", now it may not exactly reflect the way advertising is for everyone in the field, but it does come pretty close. I think as a student majoring in Advertising, you kind of have to see the situation worst-case. When I saw the two hour premiere I nearly flipped my wig, I honestly felt this was the right job for me. We think that what they teach us in school is bogus, but guess what IT'S NOT, IT IS THE REAL DEAL! I can't tell you too much about what's going on with the show, but I can tell you, you'll have your heart in your stomach, pretty intense stuff folks! Please tune in to AMC's The Pitch every monday nights at 10/9c to catch the show, it's so worth it.
