Michael Jackson was with a doubt one of the greatest entertainers to ever live. but as a kid i wasn't looking at his dance moves what always caught my attention were his glittery ensembles and incredible bow ties i guess you can say Michael is the reason i am into fashion these days

Who shot rock and roll?

2010-01-03T17:49:00.000-08:00

As a fan of photography i must stand up and applaude(bravo)this is one of my favorite exhibitions of all time."Who Shot Rock & Roll is the first major museum exhibition on rock and roll to put photographers in the foreground, acknowledging their creative and collaborative role in the history of rock music. From its earliest days, rock and roll was captured in photographs that personalized, and frequently eroticized, the musicians, creating a visual identity for the genre. The photographers were handmaidens to the rock-and-roll revolution, and their images communicate the social and cultural transformations that rock has fostered since the1950s. The exhibition is in six sections: rare and revealing images taken behind the scenes; tender snapshots of young musicians at the beginnings of their careers; exhilarating photographs of live performances that display the energy, passion, style, and sex appeal of the band on stage; powerful images of the crowds and fans that are often evocative of historic paintings; portraits revealing the soul and creativity, rather than the surface and celebrity, of the musicians; and conceptual images and album covers highlighting the collaborative efforts between the image makers and the musicians" -Morris A. and Meyer Schapiro Wing.

2009-12-29T11:40:00.000-08:00

ScrollnArtz, LLC founded by members President/CEO Joey FresH and VP/Designer Jordon Blake back in 2006. Jordon took the definition of scroll which means: “paper which has been written, drawn or painted upon for the purpose of transmitting information” and applied the slang definition of “scroll” which is utilized to engrave an expression; and discovered it was the perfect word for the clothing line. Jordon, a very talent Artist brings a twist to the Industry by Personally Hand Painting each garment making each item unique as well as a collector’s item. Every cloth represents the mastermind of Jordon's creativity at its best and each garment is his own personal piece of art. ScrollnArtz is what he called it, marking it as the name of this particular brand.
since 2006, ScrollnArtz has made a mark in the fashion industry. The company even grasped the attention of BabyPhat's very own Kimora Lee at her 2007 Fashion Week Fashion Show. An invitation to participate in fashion week followed shortly thereafter.

There are many great things in store for the ScrollnArtz brand; and, as they start off the New Year with their 2010 Fashion Show Tour this upcoming spring, they will continue to cover ground across the country.

2009-12-23T16:59:00.000-08:00

"Taking inspiration from popular culture, Tim Burton (American, b. 1958) has reinvented Hollywood genre filmmaking as an expression of personal vision, garnering for himself an international audience of fans and influencing a generation of young artists working in film, video, and graphics. This exhibition explores the full range of his creative work, tracing the current of his visual imagination from early childhood drawings through his mature work in film. It brings together over seven hundred examples of rarely or never-before-seen drawings, paintings, photographs, moving image works, concept art, storyboards, puppets, maquettes, costumes, and cinematic ephemera from such films as Edward Scissorhands, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Batman, Mars Attacks!, Ed Wood, and Beetlejuice, and from unrealized and little-known personal projects that reveal his talent as an artist, illustrator, photographer, and writer working in the spirit of Pop Surrealism. The gallery exhibition is accompanied by a complete retrospective of Burton’s theatrical features and shorts, as well as a lavishly illustrated publication.

Culture sunday.

2009-11-07T22:09:00.000-08:00

Here at lefamous.blogspot.com we are some very spiritual and cultural folks therefore we decided to come up with a blog that describe international cultures at its fullest. On this week culture sunday we have the Garifuna people of Guatemala,Belize,Nicaragua,and of course Honduras. The Garifuna, also known as the Garinagu, are direct descendants of the “Island Caribs” and a group of African slaves who escaped two ship-wrecked Spanish slave ships near St. Vincent in 1635 The Island Caribs were descendants of South American Indians known as Arawaks and another group, the Caribs, who migrated from South America to the Caribbean at a later date. Through the admixture of these cultures as well as the influence of European settlers in the Americas, the Garifuna obtained a diverse culture that incorporates African traditions of music, dance, religious rites, and ceremonies; Native American cultivation, hunting, and fishing techniques; and a French and Arawak influenced language.

in 2009 we heard alot of buzz from artist such as the cool kids asher roth drake charles hamilton kid cudi and other artist who eventhough have been out for a while have made a buzz for themselves this year

two of the years most acclaimed mixtapes were the cool kids gone fishing a mix of hard beats and electronic sounds as well as intellectual rhymes from chuck and outgoing hard "i get fly" rhymes from mikey

another mixtape that created a hellawicked buzz was drakes "So far gone" it was like nothing we had ever heard before cool beats singing and great lyrical content
