Vogue Goes Punk, Whuut?

I don't really know what I feel about this, but Vogue goes Punk, its kinda ironic or something, because Punk started out as Anti-fashion, it's about going against the norms, mocking the majority with outlandish, random ensembles, and rebellious music, which was the foundation of the subculture. But way back when, somewhere in the mid 1970's, Punk, once was just for the minority (cue Minority by Green Day, lol.) since then it slowly found its way on the runways and pages of some international fashion magazines. 

It makes me wonder if it still means the same thing, seeing the anti-mainstream is now mainstream.

Oh well, whatever, never mind. lol.

If its real punk, or not, I have to say, these looks kick-ass. 

Come to think of it even if Punk has its anti-establishment views, both Fashion and Punk promote individual freedom. Unless if you count the standards that some people in fashion set. Meh.

Let us not forget the true nature of fashion, which is self expression... just like any form of art. 

So wear whatever the hell you want, 

just make sure it's appropriate and you won't be breaking any laws or come of as offensive to some people, there's a thin line between expressing yourself and just being rude.

School officially starts tomorrow for some of you loves,

Have fun!

Give em' hell!!!

Neon, In Your Face

Once upon a time I was tumbl'n...then suddenly I keep on seeing these quotes on neon lights, was obsessed right away, I had them as wallpapers on my phone and desktop. Turns out they all came from the same artist, Tracey Emin, a British artist known for her paintings, photography, fabric, installations films , books, sculpture, but I have to say my favorites are her works with neon lights and applique . Here are some of my favorites...

What do you think? Interesting? Amazing? Weird? Call them whatever you want but I love her works, they have attitude, personality and they're so real, LEGIT even, and sooo in-your-face.

For me, she is the epitome of a real artist. An artist with love and passion for the craft drives her to do what she wants, and having people to like and relate to your works are just 

a bonus. Doing what isn't expected of you, and being able to rock it. 

(so punk rock)

More of her pieces HERE

Neon aye? :)

LOOK: NEVERMIND

Metamorphosis

METAMORPHOSIS-

The word "metamorphosis" derives from Greek μεταμόρφωσις, "transformation, transforming"

They had to get in SM in "incognito" mode. hahaha.

The arts have been the core of my whole existence as far as I could remember, when I started taking ballet lessons when I was still 4 yrs. old, guitar, drum, and modeling workshops in high school, photography workshops, selling customised handmade accessories and fascinators to fronting a band in college, the arts kept this once was a distressed broken down harlequin still alive and kicking. 

I couldn't have gotten to this point without my family, for keeping me together which made me closer to God, and was able to fight all the trials this cruel yet beautiful world we live in. I LOVE YOU MA-PA! Even if we hit major bumps on this journey, they never gave up on me, they could just have kicked me off the curve, but they didn't, instead, they gave me another chance, a fresh start, now, more than ever, I can't break their trust again. Let this be a lesson to some of you loves, even if sometimes we hit those bumps, never give up on family, NEVER.

Thank you also for friends that would cross boarders for me. Listen to me whine, sober or drunk, laugh and learn at my mistakes, accept my weirdness and still love me. nyahahaha!!! 

I love them to infinity and beyond!!!!!!
