Who Put The BUY In Albino?

Albino's have always been a rarity and these colorable D.I.Y. t-shirts are no exception.




Behind the scenes at ALBINO lies a husband and wife team. They both work in design, textiles, fashion and software development. This experience has enabled them to envision and develop a device that makes colouring-in T-shirts easier.

The result has been their "patent pending" backing, which they have applied to a colour-in-able T-shirt that children can complete with considerably more success and ease than in the past. Straight out of the box, with no preparation and with little or no help from an adult, the ALBINO product removes many technical obstacles that would usually prevent a child [or adult] from being creative within this medium.

The shirts are a little pricey, most sell for around 29 Euros each yet the design and theme of each item is unique and definitely boutique oriented.

They also offer a basic color palette of markers, specifically designed for this application which you can also purchase at their site...

Dolemite vs. Myxzlplix

Shortly after our previous post, I recall the grand moment I met the legendary Rudy Ray Moore while DJing at the 2004 Comic Con. Not only did I meet the man, I was his DJ at arms. Thank god there was a mic that day. He freestyled off the cuff, smooth as ever while I played doubles of Joe Budden's "Pump it Up." A truly amazing, and completely spontaneous moment. He was a gentleman and a professional and I was honored to be there. R.I.P. Dolemite a.k.a. Rudy Ray Moore.














The Man in Action.















Rudy & Rudy

BLACK is BOOTY-FULL...

On the heels of Dolemite's new movie and the unfortunate passing of the title's original icon, Rudy Ray Moore, comes the modern day homage to Blaxploitation's finest, Black Dynamite.

At first look, I thought it was a parody and not a real film yet one stop to IMDb and that notion was quashed.

Synopsis:
African-American action legend Black Dynamite goes after "The Man" for killing his brother Jimmy, pumping heroin into local orphanages and flooding the ghetto with hopped-up malt liquor. Black Dynamite was the one hero willing to fight The Man all the way from the blood-soaked city streets to the hallowed halls of the Honky House.

It's complete with all the usual 70's Afro B-Film references, Karate-Pimps-Vigilantes-Drug Dealers-Car Crashes & Bitches Galore!

What's especially stellar about this tribute is the cast:
Michael Jai White of Spawn fame [who also wrote the screenplay,] Tommy Davidson of In Living Color, Talk Show luminary Arsenio Hall, Singer Brian McKnight, NBA Alumni John Salley, Mad TV's Nicole Sullivan, Comedic Genius Kym Whitley, Bokeem Woodbine of Dead Presidents and Mykelti Williamson of Waiting To Exhale.

Although less politically charged than the seminal films of Gordon Parks or Melvin Van Peebles, Black Dynamite is sure to inspire the younger set to explore their works and the fine soundtracks that accompanied them.

I'm not too down with the film's Music Supervisor or the Director, neither have a great legacy behind their craft yet I have hope it will all work out in the end...

Here's the trailer:

GIMME THE LIGHT...

Lighting fixtures, Legos, and inflatables have never before converged.
Now, Chile’s Rodrigo Alonso Schramm, of Blightster & Musuc fame, gives us Modulair, customized inflatable components, which you assemble to create attractive hanging lights. By combining any of four modules [triangle, square, pentagon and hexagon], you can build a lamp to fit your individual style and taste. Of course, no matter what you do with them, Modulair lights maintain their futuristic ice crystal appearance and lend a soft light to any environment.



















[The designer in his Musuc, the wearable sleeping bag]


Schramm, the Chilean graphic designer, has worked for many years in the advertising and design industry, developing solutions for important national and international brands such as Renault, Lucky Strike, Warner Bros, Sony, and many others. With a high inclination towards industrial design, he began his object creation, in which functionality, aesthetics, graphics, and the visual virtuosity are always present.

After living in England, Spain and Holland, he explored the idea of Company-Design as "inseparable friends", overturning his interest in using design focused on concrete and authentic proposals while developing and producing in Chile together with national industry. This idea caused the 2003 creation of Design Studio Müsuc: a laboratory to create objects that "make you fall in love at first sight"- objects that shout happiness, that sample our rabid current-ness, articles which are able to represent people or companies that are constantly seeking difference. Thus, each Rodrigo design is characterized by "shouting" amongst others, generating always a happy commentary & never being unnoticed...

POP N' LOCK

Pop-Up retail stores are the latest rage. It all seemed to begin in 2003 when ill fated Song Airlines, in need of a stiff branding campaign for their bare bones operation sponsored by Delta Airlines opened their month long, temporary space in New York's stylish SoHo neighborhood, near Dean & Deluca and The Mercer Hotel.

Then Target opened their Isaac Mizrahi Pop-Up Store at Rockefeller Center & eBay delved into the hipster clad Guerilla Marketing scene, eager to get some real-world exposure, keen on shedding its "flea market" image -- invited six interior designers to furnish an entire New York City penthouse. The catch? Designers had a limited budget and could only use furniture and accessories purchased through eBay.com. The result turned out to be a mix of funky and chic, worthy of an upscale store.

Now everyone is getting into the game.

Last night, Diesel opened their Pop-Up store at South Coast Plaza in Orange County and Paper Magazine will open a 24 hour pop up store tonight-Friday, November 7, 6 pm, through Saturday, November 8, 6 pm. The 2nd 24-Hour Department Store takes place at 8873 Sunset Boulevard, cross street is San Vicente.

Just confirmed, Slow & Steady Wins The Race will have the infamous under $100 wedding dress available for purchase. Other "on the verge" designer/boutique highlights include Band of Outsiders, Confederacy, and Rodarte, while Converse will be sponsoring 24 bands over the 24 hours- Lady Tigra, Entrance, The Chapin Sisters & MEGA favourite Daedelus are all scheduled to perform.
