about the homeless helper

I read the article about the boy who made the dome home thing for homeless people.It's pretty nice but they didn't mention if homeless people are suppose to make it themselves or the boy makes them and then hands them out. I wonder only because theres a picture of the boy in a metal shop and if the homeless are suppose to make this themselves it may be hard for them to get access to a metal shop...but it was still a nice thing ..I'm just being a jerk

Kate Moss is black??


Here is a perfect example of the use of photoshop getting a little out of hand. Apparently, The Independent newspaper featured an article dedicated to the fight against AIDS in Africa. So who is better suited to represent the black african population than Kate Moss?? A white woman! In blackface! In 2007. (Yes this is a late report but still very current) Seriously, WHAT WERE THEY THINKING? Why can't a black woman represent a black woman on the cover? And why is she so dark? No one's skin looks like that... this disgusts me.

Thought I'd share this really cool production studio that I found.  They're based out of San Francisco and New York.  I haven't gotten the chance to view everything on their website, but I am in love with the videos playing on all the pages.  They're so weird and entrancing.  The TV commercials are pretty silly too. 

bien venidos a Hollyweird!
sick of this maryland-winter-friggin-freezin weather?
i am for sure and am also missing home where there pretty much aint any major change in seasons! so thinking along those lines of the lovely state of CA, i found this link to "This is Los Angeles" by Estevan Oriol on juxtapoz's website. his photos are being shown on this other site that's called SURU (haha another cool japanese word ) and its all about merging the art and fashion world with the retail world of the internet for "high end street wear and fasion forward consumers." there was this one brand called Han Cholo ... i dont know if any of you think thats funny but i laughed. There arent too many cholos in maryland i gotta say.
http://www.suru-la.com/
but take a look at the photos of this dude-he isnt too articulate...at all actually but...you know hold up i actually havent even seen his photos yet-all i have seen is a little video intro to the site so hold up-

oh okay...uhm that site didnt seem to have any of his photography...but i did just look him up on google and found his site. i never knew he was the guy who took the famous picture of the woman's hands (with very long acrylic nails i might add) forming "LA" with her fingers.

but yah....uhmm....i dont think most of you guys in our class are too into cholos and la gansters....im not even too into them so why am i posting this and writing so much hm? no se!

but here are some of the intersting images from the "this is los angeles" : http://hypebeast.com/2009/02/estevan-oriol-this-is-los-angeles-exhibition-recap/

and here is his site ... enjoy? indulge in your gansta-ness and chillax? http://www.estevanoriol.com/


hahah Carlito, tattooing his "lovely wife" during a gallery show. wow LA. gotta lurve you.

lo siento for this epic fail of an intersting post O.0

Crazy, awesome fashion at London fashion week

I have no idea how to post videos on this, so I put up a link. I just think this is cool..thats all. 
Enjoy

Something Interesting...

I found this article pretty interesting.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7910075.stm

 I never thought of texting having any impact on language skill one way or another...
One thing that struck me odd though, is that the age group being tested are 10-12 year olds. But are cell phones all that common within that age group?
