My cute as hell & supa talented buddy Reggie aka PJ Stroller just released his latest mix and he wants you to have it!!
I met the enterprising ladies of hushbeautysales.com while in LA! Their website carries an amazing selection of unique and effective health and beauty products. One of the products that caught my eye was Breath Palate - a sugar and alcohol free toothpaste and a great alternative for those that don't like the taste of Tom's.
Visit their website Hushbeautysales.com to check out all the goodies!! And stay tuned as I've heard rumors that a brick and mortar shop is in the works....
.... roughly translates into "what a waste", and can be interpreted to sum up when people squander natural resources. Deeply embedded in Japanese folk tales, it is commonly used by parents to ensure children eat all of their rice. Children are taught that if they waste things, the "mottainai ghost" will come.
SS is working on incorporating these babies (solar powered and self sustaining!!) into a sweet project we've got going on in EP, LA, CA....stay tuned.On Friday at the ammazzzinggg Eco-luxe Bridal Event hosted by Pink Cloud Events & Avita Coop I discovered so many cool products (I will write about later)....today I want to mention the delicious 4copas organic tequila. Typically, I am a chilled tequila with some lime juice kind of gal, but Enrico from 4copas whipped me up a lemon drop marg and I couldn't have been happier!! Nothing like a tasty cold bev on a hot Friday afternoon....visit the website - 4copas.com to learn more
I had the fortune of meeting Shea from Apolis Activism while in LA. He is one of 3 brothers who created AA back in 2004! What I love about this company is how they combine killah design with premium fabrics on the front end. And financial resources, increased awareness, and additional support to various organizations and non-profits, such as Invisible Children on the back end.
Here's a few looks from upcoming collections....that hoodie is MINE!!!!!
Keep up the good work!!!
Tribes in Transition, Journey Portraits in Namibia & Zambia is a new exhibit from museum-collected photographer Dana Gluckstein at VIRTU in Los Angeles from April 1st through June 15th.
VIRTU and Gluckstein will donate five percent of opening night proceeds to Artists for a New South Africa (ANSA), a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing human and civil rights in the U.S. and South Africa.
I've been stressing for days - what was to come of my foot?? No jones fracture here - yes fracture no jones (wrong diagnosis in the ER) = FREEDOM!! I can ditch this ugly boot, bear weight on my foot, exercise and even drive with the proper foot. I've been side saddling and driving with the left and throwing the right on the passenger seat - safe huh????!!!!
It felt right to add this one other bit, especially given the x-rays. After a yummy breakfast we headed over to the Gagosian to see the Julian Schnabel exhibit. While filming The Diving Bell and the Butterfly - must see!! He found this old x-rays which he promptly blew up - we are talking 6x8 at least. They fit the gallery perfectly. Here's a photo I snuck.
This post is going to be brief. I am catching up from the trip, great events - go SS and RK! Great meetings and lots of other juicy info to be disclosed shortly. Because the cynic in me seems to be rearing its ugly head I will only share the low lights of my trip today. Starting with the hit and run from the lovely 40 year old in his merc (there is a police report with witnesses out on you) 
and closing with me taking a weird step off the Hertz shuttle yesterday resulting in a Jones Fracture in my foot.
From the little I know about the record industry (is it even still called that??) I know the second album is considered, more often than not to experience the sophomore slump....so when I first learned about Lupe Fiasco's second release, The Cool, I was hesitant.
I LOVE Food & Liquor and wondered, could it be topped?
I can't say one outshines the other...because they both rock! Buy, buy, buy!!!
I am off to LA this week and plan to hit Julian Schnabel's current show, Christ's Last Day, at the Gagosian Gallery.
And by now you've probably seen, heard and talked your fill of last night's Oscars but one final comment. What is with Enchanted taking 3 of the 5 song slots for that category? They really couldn't find any others to nominate....
I am a devoted listener of KCRW ( I love the station!) but I think I have to break it off. As painful as it, is the new media player they installed has slowed my computer to caveman speeds and this is all the more painful. 
This post was supposed to follow a post with a you tube video but its taking hours and since I have no patience it won't be in the intended sequence.
Have you seen this documentary? I was glued to my seat and whoever said the french are lazy will eat their words. The Marc Jacobs/Vuitton team is incredibly dedicated and talented. It was fascinating to watch the design process, true inspiration at work. And the final scene at the Vuitton show in Paris gave me chills. I loved the set design!
If I want to remember anything - phone number, date, etc it must be written down! Because of this, I have been a faithful user of the Filofax for years and years and years. Here she is... 
Since I am quite particular about everything, the pen with which I scribe is also important. After years of experimenting, some time ago I settled on a blue ink gel roller style. A good example is the Uni-ball vision exact. 
Never said this would make my handwriting legible...come to think of it, do ya even care?
Yesterday I had a zero productivity level so when I got the text from Ruscha....are you working now? The immediate reply, maybe not what were you thinking? Shopping is the answer, late in the afternoon we headed off to deal central (meant to be a secret) and got to it. I found these fabulous Derek Lam shoes - for over half off the sale price currently at net-a-porter! There were about a quarter inch too tight in the front, I tried and tried, I even started rationalizing, its late in the day my feet are swollen, maybe I can lose 5 pounds (in my feet) but at the end of the day I went home empty handed. Here's a photo so you too can admire their beauty and think about how great they would go with everything in MY wardrobe!
Last week I went to the opening party for the new Prana Shop in Boulder. At the event I noticed these fab shadow boxes (for lack of a better term) mounted on the walls. There was no artist mentioned so I did a little investigating....turns out they are the work of Scott Lyon, brother of Eric Lyon one of the founders of Scapegoat - VERY COOL OUTERWEAR! Here's one of the boxes - to see more jump over to the Porkchop Show , is that one word or three?
Wait its a brownie, no its a cookie! Either way the Late July Dark Chocolate Organic cookie is delicious!!!!
Try them for yourself. And for those of us (mainly me) with no chocolate self control there is a 4 cookie pack to prevent entire box devouring sessions. Yes, its been done before.
Bluebird skies and 60+ here in the bubble so once these tasty morsels digest, I am off for a run. Have a great day.
...whoever stole Waylon's (editor of Elephant Magazine) bike from outside of the Yoga Workshop mid day yesterday/Sunday!!!! 
Its a Bianchi Milano black men’s big frame with two saddlebags (photo above). If you see anyone other than a 6'3 red head with freckles who wears his tshirts about 3 sizes too small with this bike - please contact Waylon ASAP!!! waylon@iamelephant.com
