Radical Digital Designer: Andrew McCarthy

I enjoy creativity. To be more precise, I devour creativity hence when I stumble upon a radical form of creativity, I want to share it with the fucking world. I mean, good stuff needs to be shared right?

It all began when I searched for Marfa Journal's website which is a magazine that I could never afford in a million years (it is like RM 120++). I thought, being able to access the some of its content from their site would be great. What I did not know was how mind-fucking-blowing their website is. Just, do me a favor and click the link. Then you will know what I am yapping about. But I could not just stop there. I need to know who created this website because that person I assume would be marvelous and that was when I discovered Andrew McCarthy. I leaped over his website which is his resume and man, even that simple website of his is amazing. I just want to hug him and thank him for his creativity and generosity for sharing it with the world.

Please, please, please, just do me this one favor and click on those links. You won't regret it. Ever. Unless this is not your kind of thing, then it's okay. But if it is, you will love me.

ps: I checked out his other works too and they were just as great.

Vests?

Zalora products.

   

Utility Vest  | Drapey Sleeveless Blazer | Sleeveless Biker Jacket

Vests. What is it for? There's no absolute use for vests. It is a jacket without sleeves for God's sake. But let's take a step back and look at these selections.What kind of change do you think vests made on these outfits? Yeah, these gals are wearing nothing but a pair of t-shirt and jeans but with the addition of a black vest to their outfit, it looked as if they made an actual effort to put this look together. There, your question answered, vests is something you slap on on your worst outfit. It is something you put on when you're too lazy to even put on a pair of clean underwear. It is when you want to make a statement but do not know how. That is what vests do to your outfit, nay, to your entire wardrobe. Now, think about it. I am thinking about purchasing one as well. But gotta wait for next month. I can't be spending like a rap star.

Film Stuff: Like Crazy (fav)

Release Date: 28 October 2011 
Genre: Drama | Romance
Cast: Felicity Jones, Anton Yelchin, Jennifer Lawrence
Directors: Drake Doremus
Writer: Drake Doremus, Ben York Jones 
MPAA: PG-13
Studio: Paramount Pictures
Let's begin this "Film Stuff" thingy with my all time favorite movie. One that I have watched for literally more than 50 times and cried all the same and I am sure that if I watch it again anytime soon, the tears will still be pouring down like crazy.
This is one of the movie that I'd like to encourage all of you film fanatics to watch because this movie shows what real love is. The actuality of love and how fucking hard it is to stay in love. No, it is nothing like The Notebook. That was fucking artificial. The actors captured the moments of falling in and out of love so eloquently that you can't help but be immersed into their happiness and messiness. And most of all, you'll understand the reason why they fell in and out of love and accept it.
The director captured the moments in snapshots which portrays exactly what moments are. A snap in a lifetime. I did a little digging and Doremus (dir.) encouraged improvisation during filming which I think contributed a lot to the film. You can see the genuine process communication and fluidity of the dialogue. Nothing felt like as if it was written. The script does not contain any metaphorical, surrealistic factor, just what two people in a romantic relationship would say to one another. In good days and in bad days.
But I guess what I liked most about this movie is the end. *Spoiler alert*. It shows that two people can end up together if they really want to, but here's the thing, do they really want to? They are just surviving the relationship for the sake of their effort for preserving it. Yeah, in the end, they were together but it was just useless.

The Future of Fashion with Alexa Chung

You want to know who is the embodiment of ultimate coolness? There is only one answer to that and that person is Alexa Chung. Yeah, you can pretty much tell that I am head over heels for her for quite a long time. But what I want to tell you today is not about her but about the series she is now collaborating with British Vogue and I must say that it is absolutely splendid. 

If you love fashion or Alexa Chung (in my case, both), I would highly recommend you to watch and follow the series. As a summary I would say that these series let the viewers in to see and explore the side of fashion that we are often kept away from. It shows that fashion is more than just spending money on clothes absent-minded-ly, it is more than that. It is what you want it to be and I am really thankful for this series. If you wanna make fashion as a friendly part of society, this is one of the way of going about it.

Watch and learn kids. There are so much to learn.

Film Stuff: Chapter One

Here's the thing. There are very few things that I am passionate in. However, I am still passionate for more than one thing hence I would like to share with you about those things other than fashion. It is films. Oh, how I love films. I could watch films for days and cry about it for nights. Films are the one ladder that I have to climb out of off reality and be in an alternate one where everything is wrong which makes it so fucking right. Same goes to books but books do not have the visual capabilities that could touch your soul. It does not convey the actual feelings on actual people. It does not come along with tracks and tracks of beautiful soundtracks. It does not speak. 

Films do. And I'd like to share these experiences with you.

Yeah, Be Outrageous As Fuck.

Pictures from The Sartorialist

So, I've been reading a lot of interviews regarding people in fashion. One thing I find in common between these inspiring women (I relate more to women's fashion sense) is that they are perfectly comfortable and confident with being themselves. No matter how outrageous. I happen to love and admire their outrageous-ness.

These are real women, no one styled them, no make-up artist carved on their faces and they are just like you and me. So, why does "outrageous-ness" looks so normal when they wear it? Well, like I said earlier, it is just the way they bring themselves.

So, be outrageous, people. Be outrageous as fuck.

Word Vomit: Chickening Out

As much as I hate admitting it, the first step to recovery is admitting. Haha. So, I am a fucking coward. I have an idea of something and I want it to be a thing but I am scared to get it started. To let people know that I am doing things. I don't know. What the fuck am I supposed to do now?
