West Coast Love

I'm beginning to seriously reconsider the name and over-all existence of this blog.
If it wasn't for a few precious morsels I just discovered I may have considered it moot for too long.

I guess as with every large trend or shift in social culture (BLOGGING), there comes a point when a thing looses its specialness. When its plundered and over saturated and suddenly there is nary a thing that excites you in an overly familiar realm.

The things that do still seem worth a few characters are the things that have been important to me since befor I knew how to use a credit card or who alexander wang was.

After you watch this trailer go visit http://savestateparks.org/ and then visit http://thefirst70.com/ and find a screening.

Looking forward to Spring

for this reason alone (oh right, and who else is over all if this indoor time?). goreously fresh looks from sustainable fashion label Bodkin hailing from NYC. The top 2 images are pulled from Bodkin's geniusly curated blog.

Check out an article by Nowness for a few tunes for your magic hour and other info on the lines musical musings.

bodkin's thoughts on sustainability and fashion below. enjoy lovelies.

"Sustainability and fashion are often thought to be at odds with one another. Yet clothing is one thing that every human has in common. It's a massive global industry that provides many U.S. jobs, yet its infrastructure and materials systems have much room for improvement. At Bodkin, we begin each collection by sourcing materials as mindfully as possible. This can mean certified organic fibers—virtually all of our cotton is organic. We employ innovative new fibers such as Tencel (a closed-loop textile from renewable eucalyptus pulp) and post-consumer recycled fibers. However, some materials, such as wool and cashmere, are difficult to find with organic certification, but are inherently more sustainable than agriculturally grown, water-intensive fibers. Other material suppliers focus on fair and owner-operated labor throughout the supply chain, and to Bodkin this qualifies as a better way of doing things. A mill may work with polyester but have instituted systems to dramatically reduce their carbon footprint. Dyeing is a lesser-known area in which the fashion industry is responsible for environmental degradation; we actively seek out and promote materials that use vegetable-based or zero-effluent dye processes. Each textile Bodkin uses is in some way produced more thoughtfully than today's norm."

So sign up and send us your daydreams, works, ideas and nightmares. The COLORS team will sift through them and include the best ones in our final, print edition.

I did it, they indeed posted my submission online (i havent gotten the printed issue yet). I submitted under my pen name in honor of the only other person i know who loves the sea as much as i do Lana Michelson, the first person to coin the phrase "goodmorning human" and sear it into my schema forever.
