Fashion Snap

For fashionsnap.com

Going through the judging process. Fingers crossed.

They liked my first approach.

I thought the second looks like Fendi mixed with National Geographic and didn’t like it although my aim was to try and create a snapshot frame.

The colors to be used are black blue reddish orange…

The third is.. well the third approach. A more simple cut, posh look…

Four is the charm they say… Let’s try on #4.

James-k Band

Urban Jazzers. Still need work.

Thend.

A really short story.

Do Download. Do Read. – My Bible.

This is probably the most fascinating book you’ll ever lay your eyes upon. Such beautiful illustrations,such style… I give you The Tale of Lohengrin. One of the iconic illustration is about to become permanent on my skin.

RARE MANUSCRIPTS

This website is perhaps the most fascinating one Shizuru has come across to, all through this term… It is the Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections at the Cornell Univeristy Library.I wish Ice’s university library could hold such gems that we could touch… But just looking is fine for now.We are stunned by the illustrations. It reminds me of a Andrew Lang’s Fairy Books and W. Heath Robinson’s books. They are for the most part lithography dating back to early 19th century. Amazing indeed. These are just couple of them. Do make sure to check it out!

Random.

These are the randoms of this month, occupied ice’s mind…

* If Adam and Eve were in fact created by God. Did they have belly buttons?

- Ice looked up on Early paintings and of Renaissance and gasped at the genius solutions painters came up with. Remember the leaf which censors the genitals? Well the stalk of the leaf extends right to their belly buttons, leaving no room for questioning. Of course most actually did paint the belly buttons which raises one’s brow…

* Those who are deprived of two senses are called deaf or blind, but what is the word for those who can’t smell?

- Shizuru and I decided to come up with a term… But so far nothing original.

*Do you remember HAL? It was the computer which took control in Stanley Kubrick’s film epic 2001: A Space Odyssey. It may be coincidental but alphabetically H precedes I, A precedes B, and L precedes M.  HIABLM.

-We thought that was just cool.

* Marilyn Monroe. Although she only wore perfume when she went to bed, she probably didn’t know it contained secretions from a civet’s anal glands. Hehe… Does the civet feel any better for knowing he ended up on Monroe’s skin many times more than the president? Probably not.

-Later we learned Chanel No. 5 was one of the first synthetic fragrances created way back in 1922.

* Me and ice wish we were Synaesthetes. They feel shapes, smell noises, see flavours and hear colors. Listz, Wagner, Scriabin and Goethe all saw music notes in colors. (‘D Major was yellow) Wassily Kandinsky heard sunsets and saw music.

-Shizuru we want to know what flavour you are and how your voice smells. Do you see what we mean? Gotta get our mind crosswired. Does anybody know how much it would cost?

* How to make a Dadaist Poem;

”Take a newspaper. Take a pair of scissors. Choose an article as long as you are planing to make your poem. Cut out the article. Then cut out each of the words that make up this article and put them in a bag. Shake it gently. Then take out the scraps one after another in the order in which they left the bag. Copy conscientiously. The poem will be like you.”

- Ours was an interesting one. But we do not wish to share. Gomen.
