MUSIC VIDEO SNAPSHOTS: I AM THE BEST PART 1
2NE1 are the life-force of Korean music and fashion, it is unceasingly perceptible through-out there music video's, live performances, magazine shoots and off stage. Of note, they additionally exert a down-to-earth charismatic charm, witnessed during there show called 2NE1TV, which notably films the album collaboration between 2NE1 and Will.i.am, [International album release anticipated 2012] and the special rapport with Jeremy Scott. 

The newly released MV called ' I am the best' portrays 2NE1 in diverse styles, they're no strangers to wearing luxury fashion houses, the girls exhibit the Gareth Pugh Spring 2011 RTW collection, whilst sauntering away to their track song. It's actually quite refreshing to see such runway items being seen in all it's movement and glory besides the catwalks and red carpet.

PUNK ROCK STYLE: METAL PLATES. STUDS. SPIKES

My best loved element to the MV is the full on Punk Rock slash Anime dizen. Jackets seen are custom made by label DOG Harajuku. For those of you who know me, I revere every single stud spikes and metal plates, reworked piece by piece in this MV, it's like a Utopia feeding my fixations. The girls of 2NE1 are the uber chameleons whom permutate with every clothing style, from playful to effeminate, seductive to fierce and strong.

Yikes! this post ended up being larger than I thought, I'll post the sport glam style's in the MV and the music video itself some other time, we'll take a interval, from the visual candy and my aficionado mode. These summer weeks fly by waaaaaaay too fast. ~ Enjoy your Thursday or what's left of it! 

Stoyn Sculpture Ice Cream Heads

27 Jun 2011

Alas yesterday and today I've been melting like a Ice Cream in the heat, finally some good weather has arrived, so it's fitting to have stumbled across these delicious looking sculpting iconic figures of Ice Cream heads, with the exemplers of Darth Vader, Ernesto Che Guevara,  Vladimir Mayakovsky, Donald Duck, Marilyn Monroe, Mickey Mouse and Mario. ~ I'm actually quite fond of the cardboard cutout Popsicle heads too, a super way of marketing the Ice Cream by Stoyn the Russian advertising agency. 

Moreover I'm glad to hear they have organic flavors such as Cranberry with vodka (Mayakovsky), blueberry with licorice (Darth Vader) and mate with rum (Che Guevara) it's quite creative and intelligent that these flavors have been picked out to match with each figure head's personality. ~ I hope they never melt they look far too good!  Photo's via Beautiful Life    

Anglasad "SECOND LINE BRASS CAP" GR8 Exclusive

23 Jun 2011

Oh boyy! aren't these Military shaped hats by Anglasad, super!?  The motfit given for these hat's are influenced by New Orleans brass band. The term 'Second Line Beat' is a New Orleans expression.  New Orleans brass bands play happy, up beat music. The melodies and rhythms they played are so infectiously joyful that the street crowds, gather from everywhere.   [A history lesson I've just soaked up whilst writing this post ] 
New Orleans Second-Lines and Jazz Funerals. These parades are called “second-lines’ because back in the day, the parades in New Orleans were separated in two halves – the whites up front, and the blacks in the back. Well, the real party was clearly in the back, and the negro musicians developed a unique beat that has been immortalized their position in those parades – to this day it is referred to as a ’second-line beat’ and all New Orleans funk is based upon it.  Source jamesoroc.com
Just goes to show, drooling over items can bring some acumen to the mind once in a while, and moreover these hats have a good fusion of music sense and fashion. They come in various tasty colors : Black, Gold  MetallicLight animal Red Paisley Blue Paisley .Silver Leopard Zebra Gold and Silver. Visit here for GR8 exclusive.

Repentance for Blog Bottleneck

Ive been slacking big time on my Blog. My apologies! Anyway I'll try to get back to being productive, soon! Apathy and disorganization has been kicking in, as well as maybe in-saneness since I created a Facebook page for this blog! Yeahh that may seem plainly normal to most folks, but I've always had this irrational cockamamie aversion and distaste to Facebook, I wont begin to describe the reasons why? Thus I WONT  ever budge on creating a personal profile on FB, but I have succumbed to a FB Fan page. And as the call: 

Follow GuiltyHyena on FACEBOOK so digital life can be twice the fun! jk jk:
