Lovemade x Lavsh Ladies ‘Cupid’s Bow’ Tie

LoveMade and Lavsh have collaborated on a design that takes a unique approach in creating a bow tie for the ladies who want to make a bold statement and aren’t afraid to stand out in a crowd. Both brands came up with an original interpretation by designing a heart shape bow tie that represents the essence of Love-Made and LAVSH’s constant strive to push the boundaries of construction and tailoring. The neck ties are made of Silk Charmeuse, adjustable in size with a hook closure. “Cupid’s Bow” will release in black and white as well as two jeweled colors fuchsia and turquoise.

Yeah just get rid of Australia as a whole. Oh, and 'Thank God for Dead Soldiers'. This is just too bizarre; you seriously HAVE to watch this for yourself. This the most disgusting thing I've ever seen. ever.

Dianna Agron recently released a letter

earlier this month addressing talking about the prejudice and recklessness of hate crimes primarily in the LBGT Community. This made me a real big fan of her. It's a good read, but if you're intimidated by large amount of words, I've highlighted her best points. Blue is quotes.



June 2, 2000

What does that day, month and year mean to you? President Bill Clinton used that particular day to declare ”Gay and Lesbian Pride Month”. Nine years later, on June 1st, President Barack Obama spoke to incorporate an even wider group. Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered citizens alike could all have this month for recognition, respect and appreciation. However, I am aware that not all minds meet equally about the rights and respect that we should pay to others. As each generation leaves their footprints, and paves the way for what is to come…to some, change is an impossible idea or action to put in motion.

You know what? Often, this unfortunate reality is because of learned behavior! As much as we may often preach that we like to speak for ourselves, or outside the box, how many times have you caught yourself, or someone you know repeating the thoughts of another before them? Sometimes without proper information? And how many times have you felt that perhaps further knowledge on an issue or subject matter might result in a different voice, a different understanding? Perhaps even going against the ideas they’ve learned, heard, or grown up around? We have the ability to fly planes, send astronauts into space, develop technology such as cellphones! Things that once were unfathomable. I can sit at this small computer and type this message. Once I push send, this message can be seen by anyone who’d like to engage, all across the WORLD.

As many of you know, we (the Glee cast) have been storming the country at whirlwind speeds to put on a forty-two show, month-long tour. It has been a constant reminder of why we do this. We’ve witnessed the impact our show has had, from the very beginning, to these moments, three years later. You LOVELY & AMAZING fans! Just indescribable. The love, affirmation, and dedication you provide! We see it all, value it all. Trust me, we do! On stage, the excitement that we absorb from your ball of energy brings our adrenaline levels to highs that often-times, we aren’t sure we can reach. Bottom line, we love you guys. And our crew! Without this diverse group of hard-working people, this venture would be impossible.

Yesterday was June 11th, and we were tackling our newest location, Toronto! We had finished our first concert of the day, and I was about to take a moment to relax before the second. On the way to our dressing rooms, I passed a stack of shirts lined up on the merchandise tables. The white T’s were modeled after shirts we wore in a performance set to Lady Gaga’s, “Born This Way.”

Beautiful. True. Words to remind yourself, words to live by. Doesn’t matter if you’re not a Gaga supporter, or one of her “Little Monsters” as she lovingly refers to her fans. Kindness moves mountains. Acceptance opens doors, makes room for change, diffuses misunderstanding. Every day, people commit hate crimes because of misunderstandings. Hate effects the target, and consumes the person behind the gun. It is crazy to realize that we have been in war for almost our entire existence on this planet. Many times for reasons of greed and hate.

Anyone that has experienced the death or abuse of a loved one can tell you that, “IT HURTS BEYOND EXPLANATION!!! AND WE SHOULD DO EVERYTHING IN OUR POWER TO MAKE ANY CHANGE POSSIBLE.” Raise your hand if you’ve spent nights crying yourself to sleep, raise your hand if you’ve felt as if you’d rather hide in bed all day than face the people that make you feel small or powerless! Raise your hand if you’ve felt as if you’d rather lie to people than tell them the truth about who you really are, because at least you wouldn’t be the victim of hateful behavior or prejudice! And raise your hand if lying feels almost as bad.

I was not raised in a family that accepted prejudice or hatred. For that, I thank my Mom and Dad each and every day. Look, we are human, we make mistakes. I will gladly shout from the rooftops that I AM NOT PERFECT. Nor will I ever be. But I can happily say that to my knowledge, I do not ever intentionally cause people pain. I love my family, my friends, my co-workers…and they all consist of girls AND boys. I do tell them that I love them. Yesterday, during our second show, Instead of wearing my usual shirt during “Born This Way” I decided to wear one that said “Likes Girls”. It should actually have read, “Loves Girls”, because I do. The women in my life give me things that the men in my life can’t. And vice-versa. No, I am not a lesbian, yet if I were, I hope that the people in my life could embrace it whole-heartedly. And let me tell you, I can easily spill (quite comfortably) what I admire, respect and think is beautiful about any of the women in my life. Piece of cake!



Last night, I wanted to do something to show my respect and love for the GLBT community. Support that people could actually see. Which is why I decided to change my shirt for the show. I happened to read a few comments that were posted on twitter. Many of you asked, “why?” This is my response. I am not asking for you to agree with what I am saying, but if you are listening, thank you. That is all I can ask. And a step further would be to take a moment to (honestly) answer the questions that I have raised. We can’t always put ourselves in someone else’s shoes. But we can try.

I am lucky to live in a place where I can wear almost anything that I want to express myself, and that jail is not a probable consequence. Which makes me feel as if I should exercise my right to do so every now and then. Think of the people that have died because of their passion and heartfelt hopes of change? So many good men and women. All because of an inherent wish for tolerance, love and support.

Our show celebrates the GLBT community. We are proud to be a part of something that embraces an often avoided topic. Hate is terrible, especially when we pass it down to a new generation of innocents. Recently, I heard a lament about San Francisco. How SFO just didn’t sound like a fun place to be, or visit, because that person wasn’t gay. Wait, really???? I wanted to laugh! But that would have been a response that wouldn’t have encouraged that person to be open-minded. To see that perhaps, their statement was foolish? Why won’t San Francisco be fun for you? Do you think the whole city is gay? Do you think they will judge you? Won’t feed you good food? Perhaps they won’t let you have fun, the way THEY have fun?

Sadly, we’ve gotten letters from people who explain that they love the show but hate the gay story-lines. That we shouldn’t be polluting their children’s heads. To this I’d sometimes like to sarcastically reply, would you also like us to tell them that a stork is dropping off our offspring? That the sky is purple? That it is not practical to be true to yourself, because there are mean people in this world that will make them feel wrong for being honest? That instead of embracing themselves, they should lie to the world? THEY should be the ones being untrue and unhappy?

I believe that if you are bringing a child into the world, you should be willing to accept them in any reality. Whether they are Black, White, Asian, have four fingers, are disabled, gay….that the only wish should be for a happy and healthy baby. We are each other’s children. Unless someone has committed a violent or hateful act, why should we judge? We can so quickly resort to anger, often, the product of a whole other issue. Most often, an issue with our own self.

I understand that I am sitting behind the protection of this computer screen, in this hotel room, and to many I might sound “preachy”. Especially now that I have written an essay. I hope my intentions sound pure, and just. I speak, because I am passionate. I write with this passion because I know how it feels to be hurt, to be depressed, to not value yourself, or your feelings. If any of this has inspired or moved you, even just made you think….I encourage you to tweet or reblog a picture, quote, anything that you feel will continue to spread the love. And if any are interested in tracking the chain, perhaps visualizing the greater collective, include the hatch tag, #letlovein.

Affection is responsible for nine-tenths of whatever solid and durable happiness there is in our lives. - C.S. Lewis


Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage. - Lao Tzu


Fortune and love favor the brave. - Ovid

AND remember that sometimes….

People need loving the most when they deserve it the least. - John Harrigan

To thine own heart be true. Many thanks for your time, your love, and the gift you’ve given me.

Sincerely,

Dang, Dianna rocked this neat. I want a shirt like this now. for the same reason.

A Bathing Ape, while mostly dedicated to the male demographic, has still been a brand of interest with a decent women’s following. Just like many who have seen the distinct maturation of A Bathing Ape over the last few years and a graduation away from only graphic T-shirts, the same can be said for the women’s line as British model Daisy Lowe is the face of the upcoming A Bathing Ape Ladies collection. The fairer sex is no longer relegated to the brand in only streetwear form as the collection offers a much more feminine approach.

One of my latest obsessions has been dude pants.

Or otherwise known as "Lesbian Levis" (given to me by Erika.) no homo. But that's that shit. I mentioned that my style hasn't been this androgynous since I was 10 years old and solely shopping in the boys department. But I'm at a day and age again where I just can't help myself. Look at them, they're just too comfortable. All I do is buy mens skinny jeans and cut them into shorts.



Also, I was cleaning out a closet the other day and peep this: Evisu jeans. They were womens skinnys and I bought these circa 2005 in high school. I just knew I was cool. If these still fit me, I'd totally where them today. I'm not even gonna try.

How do I let my room get this bad?

Houston Stories

So I'm sitting to my lonesome-it's like 2:30 or something after the clubs were getting out- and this homeless man digging around trash cans walks by me. He asked me if I was alright. How low does your life stoop if a homeless man asks you that? Guess we're two of a kind. I told him yes, and turned my head hoping he wouldn't sit and creep on me. "You're just enjoying the silence, right." I laughed and told him yes. He kept it moving but kept looking back at me. Then right when he was about to hit the corner, he lifted a finger and said,

"You know what, you are beautiful. You have a beautiful soul, I can see it through your smile."
Then he threw me the peace sign and disappeared.

True story. Made me feel really good. I kind of wish he would've came back to talk to me.
I would've told him he had a beautiful soul too.

1:24pm Hey Young World,

I'm younger.



I got stranded downtown in Houston, last night. 12am-4am. On the most unfortunate shit of my phone being dead and being by myself. It was by fault of transaction-me being the transaction. Nobody was to blame and it would've been me if so. I thought I had the address to my friends flat, but it turned out to be the address to the store our event was located at; I looked at the wrong one. When we pulled up next to these flats, I hoped out the car thinking I was at my friends place... they went on to a party and I walked around shit out of luck. Mind you, I know nobody in Houstons number by heart, or address.

It's a pretty long story ...but it's a pretty funny story. It's just the irony that this police officer said he couldn't help me... and the random people I asked to use their phones just happened to all be a foreigners with broken english. I would walk to a gas station trying to find a phone to use and there would be crackheads right behind me asking for money. My outfit didn't help with my boots, panty hose, small shorts, cut off tee shirt and suspenders..rock&roll, I looked like I could've been on drugs, perhaps. It was a white urban part of town so everybody was drunk off their ass either ignoring or messing with me.

It got real uncomfortable at times.. and there's so much more to this story. But I'll highlight the good stuff later. I'm safe and sound now.

HOUSTON: TODAY!!!

11:11am

Good morning. Wake up.. still feeling my liquor. No hangover. I can't believe how drunk I got last night. I didn't throw up though, that's cool. We raged at Republika. Did some loitering after the club. I tried my best to cock block Blue.. and then me and D.Piddy and friend went to Dreams. It was my first strip club experience. ! I don't think I can fuck with the strip club though.

By the way, I'm in Houston. Houston, Tejas baby.

I swear, I do not fuck with Dallas night life... but Houston is a different story.

ALSO I'm with my nigga D.Piddy!! Danielle Pratts if you aren't familiar. We went to SFA together freshman year and I haven't hardcore kicked it with her since then!

I can't forget last night . . .

FULL SCOOP HERE

I mean she's been popular and shit for awhile...

But Kreashawn is on now. No doubt. Everywhere I turn, I see her. Freaking Showtime, MTV's Suckerfree, The Hundreds Blog, Studio time with Snoop Dogg? all that. And I've followed her on twitter a couple times.. I couldn't keep up, she was just too tweet crazy, but I don't remember her having anything close to 50,000 followers. Shoutouts to her and Jordan and whoever else in their entourage. Man, I can't front that they're kinda really cool.

Party Hard

Is there a pic of this aftermath? 'cause people are moving out the way. .

Amy Winehouse booed off stage

This broke my freaking heart. This is one of my top favorite artists ever! and I NEED her to do better. I NEED her to make more music and preform able-bodied and minded shows that I can see. This sucks.



A video posted on YouTube shows Winehouse wildly staggering around while trying to sing and stopping several times in mid-verse, looking over to her bandmates for help. At one point, she calls over a backup singer to fill in for her.

Serbian media described the concert before 20,000 fans as a "scandal" and a "disaster." The Blic daily said the concert was "the worst in the history of Belgrade."

The concert late Saturday in the Serbian capital of Belgrade kicked off what was to be a 12-date tour of Europe. But Winehouse decided to cancel appearances in Istanbul on Monday and in Athens on Wednesday, according to a statement from publicity company Outside Organization.

Her representatives said it would be "worked out as soon as possible" whether she would attend the rest of her European tour. The next scheduled concert date after Athens is July 8 in Bilbao, Spain. The tour was to end in Bucharest, Romania, on Aug. 15.

But Winehouse, who has publicly struggled for years with drug and alcohol issues, was jeered as she performed in Belgrade. She arrived almost an hour late before stumbling to the stage and appearing unable to remember the lyrics to her songs. She dropped the microphone, mumbled through her songs and occasionally disappeared, leaving her band to keep on playing.


Winehouse would like to say sorry to fans expecting to see her in Turkey and Greece, but "feels that this is the right thing to do," the statement said.

"Despite feeling sure that she wanted to fulfill these commitments, she has agreed with management that she cannot perform to the best of her ability and will return home," it added.

There was no further explanation for exactly why Winehouse was canceling.

Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind

Here's the thing: This movie's practically flawless.. but this couple just doesn't settle for me, unfortunately. Okay, some wild crazy goofball of a chick dates some creepy timid virginal acting guy; opposites attract, whatever. I guess really, my problem's with the casting of this couple. Jim Carrey has fucked himself with a dildo made of all the silly movies he's starred in prior to this serious role. Because of that, I cannot take him seriously. Had they substituted Jim Carrey for another actor, I probably wouldn't have anything to say.. but that's not the case.

Okay, here. Jim Carrey was considered for the male lead of 500 Days of Summer. That should of made you lean away from your computer, disgruntled. That's because we don't see him in that light, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt --if not anyone else, did/would've done such a significantly better job than him.
I'm just talkin'

Credibility to Karleah, I can't lie. She puts me on good music.

Oh, this is right up my alley. This shit is instantly jamming. plus the videos cool.
even though I don't get it. .

5:41pm

and off to work, I go.

2:29pm I tell someone that I've never been in a relationship

and they look at me like I go to bed in a very long white night-gown dress.
Like I drink milk with my dinner.
Like my best friends names either Molly or Susan.
Like my underwears made of steel.
Like I have a curfew.
Like I wear a rosary underneath my shirt.
Like I get surprised and aroused when people kiss-ect in movies.
Like I have a night light.
Like I'm gay.
Like I use pads on my period ha


Alright, I'm done.

Calm yo titz, girl

She's probably so excited because today's Go Skate Day!
