I'm not all blogged out, big deal. I'm trying to keep this on the "when necessary" wavelength for now, cause if it were to deviate, oh lawd.. we'd both be in for some trouble. for really reals.
But that's camera 2. Back to this Recessionista bidness... let's see,
Recessionista
Blend of recession and fashionista.
Noun (plural, recessionistas)
1. A person who is able to stick to a tight budget while still managing to dress stylishly.
* 2008 October 24, The New York Times:
The “recessionista,” the new name for the style maven on a budget […]
I cannot even front. I'm soo unaware of the fashion industry or its ripple effects, pro or con. I am however aware of what is tangible in my reality, and what is just undeniably dope. Dope is when you catch the source, the root of a trend.. the place and spirit of whence and whereabouts something has sprung before it is (inevitably?) co-opted.
Dope are the gangstresses who spearhead and coordinate the Recessionistas Unite monthly event. This is certainly the real deal, dope designers and collectors, collaborating to bring the freshest and most original of wares and more, to a chill non pretentious Brooklyn venue near you.
I had the privilege and honor to be a featured vendor at this past Recessionistas Sale in the company of such dope designers/artists as ChayStyles, 718Bodega, Paintings by Jay Wallus, and Vintage Blvd
at Those Brothers Jewelry Lounge in beautiful Brooklyn.
The Tag team gangster of Cavwins.com and TME Studios was in full effect with a full spread of our classic propaganda tees with some new flavors to boot. I also got to meet Chanel Kennebrew, the mind behind Junk Prints. Her style's intangible, like a wild animal.. (thats for the heads) but yo.. check her out in the second Youtube vid below, the first features a little promo from yours truly talking about the tees and jackets we brought out that beautiful Sunday. Much much love to Kaos Blac who laced up the video interviews. Show his blog some love. Oh yeah and as promised the Flud Watch Robinhood laced another lovely with a winner's watch... check the shnazz, and shout outs to Numbisi of Vintage Blvd for the flick and our winner, Kyle for being one. Everything is niiiiiice. Our winner walked away with the highly coveted Gun Metal finish BoomBox Watch.
ahhhh summer's gonna be banana bread.... stay with me yal
