Today we stumpled upon the Facebook gangster. They really nailed it. The jokes, the rap style, we lost about 2 hours today looking and laughing at his viral gem. We couldn’t help compare it to Black 20’s Sheffield Quigley. Quigley was the first professional myspace photographer. This is no lazy sunday, but we really enjoy how they classify types of social network photos and how they might have been created.

LVHRD member Rebecca Turbow has launched a Japanese Insanity Trap (JIT) to promote her new Spring/Summer 2008 line.

For the Photography Duel on July 24th, 5 teams of photographers and stylists will compete in a timed photography competition to produce images in 3 categories. The LVHRD membership will vote for the winning image.
Photographer Phil Toledano & Stylist Mimi Fisher
Phil Toledano was born in London and received his first camera at age 11. He photographs the missing, the incomplete, the sacred barren places that rattle at the edge of your vision.

Although more and more clothing companies are turning out organic versions of shirts, baby clothes, and khakis, marketers are having trouble making the average consumer care. Half of the people interviewed by Cotton Inc had no idea what “sustainable” or “organic” meant. When asked if they’d be upset if they found out something advertised as organic was just run of the mill cotton, almost 90% of people said they’d be only slightly annoyed or not at all bothered.
Green campaigners are chalking public indiffernce up to ignorance and conflicting messages. Most…

Drawing Inspiration, an article written by LVHRD member Tobi Elkin has just been sent to wire and is being featured on asap. Maybe it was Dewar’s Repeal Day that jolted her pen to paper or perhaps it was for the love of pasties, but Tobi’s article features artist/burlesque dancer Molly Crabapple.
Crabapple is a woman that wears many hats, even when she is wearing close to nothing at all. A former art student, she began working as a nude model and eventually made her way into burlesque. While preforming for major…
