Preoccupied with fashion, non-fiction literature and an unhealthy obsession with ELO leaves TheMissLinds with an often asymmetrical view of the world. Taking it all in stride she recently relocated from the lush green of the south to the hard concrete of NYC and while she's only been there a short while she can attest to two things: New York needs to up it's mexican food game, and girls in Brooklyn need to stop dressing like they fell out of a laundry basket. She also throws out fashion gems on her homebase, TheMissLinds.com.
The Bloggomist: Three Times a Trend Fashion Opinion
I know the last thing any of you probably want to hear more about are those damn bloggers. The B word has gone from something barely anyone recognized to a dirty little term many of us would like to see deleted. I don’t think I still fully comprehend what a blogger is, but I supposed I do enough internet perusing and ranting to be Continue reading →

The Bloggomist: Why I Love DC Food Opinion

The sounds of sirens break the silence. Figures stand cold and undaunted, as their ‘armor’ radiates against the stark, blue sky. Commotion rings loud in the midnight air. Shouts of desperation are pleaded and just within seconds, gunshots trumpet, blaring like the commencement of war. Thick, smoke ripples through the flesh as a mother wails for the loss of her only son. Images of giving birth to him flash in between moments of despondency and rage as she holds onto her last living memory of her child.Continue reading →

Without a doubt, the Segway is a milestone in engineering. Yet all that is for nought, because you can’t help but look a complete tool when riding one. It’s this niche market that we’ve become obsessed with; it’s not a bicycle, it’s not a scooter, it’s not a unicycle or a skateboard…it’s a new type of transportation with an ‘intuitive’ mode of operation that requires batteries, motors and gyroscopes to function. A modern marvel yet at the same time utterly pointless. Continue reading →

It was the late ‘80s and there I was, a quirky, bi-racial kid (half Mexican and European Jewish), living in a predominantly Latino community in the inner-city of Los Angeles. If I was not hiding in the containment of my own bedroom, reading whatever book I could get my tiny hands on, I was probably dancing to the tunes of pop-icon Madonna, the disturbingly cool new wave sensation, The Cure or bobbing my head, thinking I was hard to N.W.A.

Abe Ahn is currently working on a research project involving the 1977 non-fiction war novel DISPATCHES. He likes nothing more than the freedom to cook his own meals, drink plenty of wine and listen to records.
The story would be nearly apocryphal had it not been documented with such fervor – Lester Bangs, loaded up on barbiturates, walks into a hotel room for an interview with his idol Lou Reed, the pasty, belligerent lead of The Velvet Underground, who was at the time releasing a body of solo work bordering on misanthropic.

The Bloggomist: Three Times a Trend Fashion Opinion
When I was younger I wanted to be an actress. A full-blown Hollywood star. I’d have nice cars, a couple of houses, maybe a boat and most important of all: a closet that would be the envy of every girl from New York to New Zealand. In other words, I wanted to be an actress because of the clothes. Don’t get me wrong I had a love for acting too, Continue reading →
Born in NYC, Caleb grew up in the city and a preppy town called Darien where he played every sport (including preppy games like lacrosse). After college he was suckered into the fashion industry and currently resides in Los Angeles where he works for 3sixteen and Opening Ceremony. When no one's looking, Caleb makes music, obsesses excessively over basketball and works on the GDFHT (http://www.gdfht.com/). Follow him at twitter.com/caleblin.
Yuki Matsuda has a look about him. He has a disarmingly gentle smile that only disappears when engrossed in particularly passionate topics. His long black hair bears wisps of grey, neatly tied back in a short pony tail. His arms are crossed across a crisp button down that looks comfortable and well-worn. But it’s his eyes that bear the unmistakable mark–a look of genuine satisfaction that can be neither feigned nor manufactured. Continue reading →

Weight is a tricky subject no matter which way you approach it. Everyone knows that the fashion industry is notorious for it’s promotion of the rail thin, emaciated body type. There is no secret that it has been under immense pressure for years from watch groups and current and former fashion insiders to steer away from advocating the dangerously skinny aesthetic.

Just before the New Year, the 15th United Nations Climate Change Conference was held in Copenhagen, Denmark where an estimated 15,000 participants and over 192 countries attended. The summit’s “supreme body,” known as 15th Conference of the Parties (COP 15), gathered government officials and environmental ministers to discuss climate change, its effects around the globe and develop plans to reduce greenhouse emissions.

Last week I used the MacBook Pro as an example of greenwashing with a spoonful of sugar, so while on the subject I just couldn’t move on without discussing the current king of the eco-castle.
Right now I’m thinking of a car company. In 1973 they became the first automobile manufacturer in the world to introduce an environmental officer. They plan to reduce resource consumption and manufacturing emissions by 30% Continue reading →
Zinzi was born in Providence, Rhode Island where she developed a perfectly healthy love of shellfish, flannel and the Red Sox. Today she and her Beagle Ruby live in Northeast Los Angeles where they're more likely to see khakis from Dickie's than Brooks Brothers, which is cool. She reads Classical Literature (Greeks, not Romans), Continental Philosophy, glossy magazines and Wallace Stevens. You can also visit her here: http://coffeeandoranges.wordpress.com!
As every tech company seems to be releasing tablet e-readers, nearly every publishing giant cuts down on both their staffs and titles, and even seasoned media vets move online, I suppose it should be pretty apparent that the newer, democratically conceived voices undercutting established ones are, indeed, undeniably potent.

I’d like to say that when done correctly, lo-fi recordings can be a thing of beauty. Then again, is there a right way to produce a lo-fi album? Working out of his Brooklyn apartment, Wisconsin transplant Sebastian Krueger’s new Inlets album, Inter Arbiter, created a 37-minute lo-fi triumph Continue reading →

It’s an all-too-familiar conceit: the commercial fades up, a somber piano line is struck, and in a low, lugubrious rumble the announcer says “On a very special episode of…” Many a TV sitcom has been hazily defined in our memories by its “very special episodes”, the installments in which the monotony of its lameness is broken by a confusing left turn into cheap, sappy dramatics: one of the ensemble cast gains a drug addiction, has a brush with death, experiences violence that hits close to home, and so on.

Inspired by the Minutemen song, Evil Monito’s “Tour Spiel” highlights the musician’s life on the road. Each week, we’ll check in with some of our favorite artists touring stateside or abroad. We’ll provide an intimate look into what it’s like to be packed in a van or waiting for a flight with the same people for hours on end. It takes a certain state of mind to survive any lengthy tour. Yet it’s the memorable experiences that make life on the road ultimately rewarding, if not interesting. This week we highlight The Subjects- a band ready to hit the road with a youthful enthusiasm.
