Seen on the Street - Abstract Carnival

2011-08-08T01:51:00.001-07:00

Here are some images I took of rides at the Broward County Fair 2010.

I forget the names of each one but I did have fun riding them.

Looking back at these pictures on my iPhone, I'm loving how abstract and prismatic the way the lights are blurred.

It's a kaleidoscopic study of motion.

Seen on the Street - Hollywood Hair

2011-08-08T01:20:00.001-07:00

I love being back in Hollywood - just taking a stroll down the boulevard and one can see shop windows like this one - Everyday is Halloween in Hollywood...and a HAIR RAISING HELL was had by all....

Seen on the Street - Bumper Bear

2011-08-08T01:14:00.000-07:00

I had to take a picture of this WTF - Bumper Bear, seen in my hood in K-Town.

Seen on the Street - Chinese Take Out - LOLZ

2011-08-06T19:49:00.001-07:00

Here's another image I took from my friend Mario's blog. This gives new meaning to "Chinese Take Out" or in this case "Chinese Out Call". See the original posting on Mario's blog here.

Supermarket Wonder Update - Update on Soup for Sluts

2011-08-06T19:44:00.000-07:00

Seen on the Street - Knott's

2011-08-06T19:41:00.000-07:00

I saw this sign at Knott's Berry Farm - I LOVE IT WHEN IT'S SLIPPERY N WET!!!

Seen on the Street - Hollywood n Vine

2011-08-05T01:34:00.001-07:00

Here are some images I've seen stepping out of the Red Line stop at Vine and Hollywood (Underneath the W Hotel). The Los Fearless is connected to an event Nike sponsored in February. Of course the DEADMAUS image is my favorite.

Supermarket Wonder Update - Prince Albert

2011-08-04T23:51:00.000-07:00

I took this image from Colby Keller's blog (FYI - Links contain NSFW content). Too funny that I had to repost.

Seen on the Street - The Blue Man -

2011-08-04T23:24:00.001-07:00

Saw this gentleman with an amazing outfit - Seen on the Red Line subway in Hollywood - I love the multiple shades of blue and the straw hat!!!

Supermarket Wonder - WTF?!!!

2011-08-03T23:16:00.001-07:00

Here are more random supermarket items that make me think "WTF"?!

This first image (seen above) was taken by my friend Jason in the fruity section - RIPE CALIFORNIA PEACHES - I'm thinking it should be a vanity plate for La Lohan.

This second image I stole from my friend Mario Diaz's FB wall. I don't know if it's an actual instant noodle product or a doctored image, but I think it's hilarious!!!

Boojie Bag a la SKINGRAFT

2011-08-02T00:55:00.000-07:00

I'm loving this "Weekender" bag I got on sale from the Skingraft store in DTLA - Now I just to have plan a destination so I can properly use it! Any suggestions?

Shady Saturday - Carrera Shades

2011-07-23T16:10:00.000-07:00

I recently ordered these awesome Carrera shades on line. I believe this line is a subsidiary of the Porsche design group, directly related to the Porsche sports cars. I'm not sure if these are dead stock, but if they're not, there amazing re-issues.

These two frames (above and below) have UV Clear lenses, which offer full protection even though they are clear. I'm feeling this 1980's Pseudo Futurism vibe. I have to admit the purple frames (above) are my favorite because I can't help but think of Prince..."Purple Rain, Purple Rain...."

This pair have more traditional black out lenses, but the oversized frames are perfect for the "morning after" walk of shame. Were they any more oversized, they'd be pushing up on Mugler's vintage "bug" shades.

Air Jordan Attack!!

Nike Air Max Attack!!!!

2011-07-12T01:25:00.000-07:00

Nike Air Max 95 Rasta

So I recently visited my new spot for kicks - and came home with an armful of Nikes. You gotta love the Air Max. I remember my first pair when they dropped the original 95's.

Nike Air Max 95 Team Orange

I must still be obsessing because I wound up getting two pairs of the 95's and one pair from 97.

Nike Air Max 97 Silver Red

If you're in Hollywood, check out Drip. Check out this video clip to give you a peek at their goods. Very friendly staff and some major stock, lots of vintage dead stock, reissues and hard to find models.

Excuse my snaps - I definitely am not meant to be a still life photograher - jaja!

Illustration by Dubious Lee

2011-07-10T23:32:00.000-07:00

I just received this beautiful illustration in my email the other day. It's by my good friend, the talented Mr. Dubious Lee.

She looks like she could this century's reboot of the bust of Nefertiti- Both have the same refined facial features. Mr. Lee's technique has echoes of the late and great illustrator Antonio.

You can see more of Mr. Lee's work via this link.

Not so Valentino -

2011-07-10T11:57:00.000-07:00

I just bought this not very Valentino scarf - I love the abstract red ribbon skull design...kind of reminds me of the vintage Alexander Mcqueen ones that every had for a moment, and a bit like the skull pattern that Thomas Wylde is known for...Now I can't for the cool weather..

One might assume that Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli at Valentino's house are slowly trying for a reboot - perhaps a Tisci like transformation??? It makes sense in this case as they were in charge of accessories for the house of Valentino for years....

These three images were shot over the past few months as I was reacquainting myself with the City of Angels.

They were all taken at different times and in vastly different sections of L.A., which just goes to show you how this city is so diverse and spread out.

I decided to group them together for this posting because I felt they belonged together.

OK Kids - Pop Quiz time -What's the recurring theme that ties all these images together???

K-Town June 2011

2011-06-25T04:09:00.000-07:00

Image by Trickymaus

I live in K-Town (Koreatown) here in L.A. - It was the best neighborhood that was within my rental budget when I relocated back from the East Coast.

This quote about K-Town on Wiki pretty much says it all - "The neighborhood is in the midst of a construction boom that has helped fuel an influx of new residents priced out from nearby Los Feliz andWest Hollywood.^[2]^"

Priced out is the point I want to make, just like D.T. L.A., Weho and Silverlake have become overly gentrified and thus too expensive for me to feel good about moving into.

I was referred to my apartment by my fab "PLAY COUSIN" and fellow Gaysian John Blaine. Once I checked out the unit, building and neighborhood, I was hooked. It's a mix of Korean, Latin, Old School, Immigrants, Creative Types, Dog Friendly, Gay Friendly...so happy I moved here.

The best part about it is that hidden in one of the many Korean mini-malls/indoor swapmeets that dot the whole area is a Korean supermarket that's like a little taste of what I can imagine Seoul is like.

Best part of all is discovering Korean products that are completely new and alien to me, but not in a bad/scary way. I'd say it's more inspiring each time I go to my market, just to explore and discover the new, weird, wacky and funky.

Perfect example is the snapshot of the hair color box I found in the Women's Beauty Aisle - Super Cute and yet very ANIME/CARTOONISH/HARAJUKU....

LOVE K-TOWN!

Because I have "A.D.H.D.", meaning I'm always bugging out and have the attention span of a gnat, I love to look at everything when I'm out on the street. Doesn't matter if I'm walking or riding in a car, I love to visually devour everything around me. Here are a few pieces of Graffiti art I noticed within a 2 block radius of my work in Hollywood, near Selma and Cahuenga. Pretty cool - if anyone knows the artists to credit for these pieces, please leave a comment or contact me.

Weho Pride 2011 - Here are some portrait shots of people that caught our eye.

I approached each subject with the same GWC stereotypical line - "Excuse me, can we take your picture?"

All were kind enough to oblige our request, and my boy Billy was nice enough to be the co-subject as I snapped the pics.

Weho Pride 2011 - Chaotic

West Hollywood Gay Pride 2011 - Smaller than previous years, this last Pride festival was interesting. The majority of the people were Latinos and young - in their late teens or 20's. Maybe it's just a manifestation in the LGBTG demographic of what's happening with the nation's overall demographic - Latino's will dominate very soon - BRONZING of America.

I did manage to capture, or at least try, interesting people as they walked by. Using my BBerry camera was a bit dodgy, but I quite like the blurry motion images . The bleeding of the image lines, colors, light and dark is a perfect representation of the chaotic atmosphere of pride....

I'm going to have to have a quick Q & A with Ira for a future posting. Get behind the inspiration, what she sees through her eyes.....

Jed Root Now Represents You Tube's #1 Make Up Guru

2009-11-16T18:44:00.000-08:00

Michelle Phan. Image courtesy of Jed Root and
Michelle Phan.

Jed Root has made a groundbreaking move by signing on new media make up sensation Michelle Phan (Yellow Power/Viet Power!!!) -

Here's a capsule of the original posting -

As part of our never-ending quest to push the limits of this business & explore new horizons, we are very pleased to welcome Michelle Phan!

The term “Internet Sensation” may be overused nowadays, but makeup artist Michelle Phan would certainly qualify to be called as such.

A few simple makeup tutorials filmed from the comfort of her home has lead to Michelle becoming one of the first and most successful online celebrities in the world of beauty.

Her videos have been viewed over 50 million times worldwide and she is the most highly subscribed “Make Up Guru” (over 300,000 subscribers!) on Youtube. Her creative looks and methods have been inspirational and easy to learn – over 8 million people have viewed on her video on how to recreate Lady Gaga’s look alone.

In 2009 Michelle even launched her own line of skincare products to great reviews – IQQU Beauty.

We are so happy to welcome Michelle to the agency and to blur the lines even further between all types of media.

Michelle’s portfolio here.

Michelle’s YouTube channel.

Read the original post through the Jed Root Blog via this link. There's additional video and commentary to be found.

I wanted to also post three comments, in sequential order, the last being my comment related to the same thread....

****Posted by Jane October 23, 2009 at 5:35 pm

Will you be managing her differently than you do your current makeup artist? She has a very different portfolio and none of it is makeup on someone else, which is what professional makeup artistry usually is.

I'm not quite sure I understand how her talents relate to what Jed Root does.

****Posted by Jed Root Oct. 25th 2009 4:17 pm

Dear Jane,

Thanks for your questions.

Representing Michelle Phan offers us both a number of unique challenges as well as a number of unique opportunities. As her portfolio currently stands, she obviously does not easily fit into the usual category of “Make Up Artist” in the way that agencies such as mine have traditionally defined “Make Up Artist” (namely make up artists working primarily for print publications and other still photography projects). But as you may be aware there has recently been a dramatic contraction of the traditional print market and we have seen a number of advertisers shift to new media.

Michelle in fact does have some experience working in still photography and has worked on a number of fashion shows during New York Fashion Week. Our plans are to further build her portfolio in the traditional sense, while capitalizing on her unique talents as an instructor and personality/spokesperson.

Sincerely,

Jed Root

***COMMENT REPLY BY YOURS TRULY****

***Posted by Trickymaus November 16th 2009

Hi Jed,

I think that your signing of Michelle Phan is very forward thinking, and not to use a cliche, but definitely thinking outside of the box. For you to be one of, if not the only, traditional artist rep. to hire not traditional / new media artists to emerge in this age of technology is quire brilliant. I suppose it's easy to transfer Michelle's obvious skill with make up into print / traditional tear sheet bookings through introductions to your photographers and the magazine editorial contacts that you already have. In addition, since so many of the old media / magazines are needing to expand their web presence and create unique content beyond behind the scenes video clips of their shoots, her on camera you tube experience is definitely an asset. I'm sure once you've helped create a strong traditional tear sheet portfolio, with more behind the scenes and runway makeup key-ing, it's a matter of time that you combine her huge web fan base with her new Fashion industry credibility. Once that's done, she's bound to become a consultant to a major make up/beauty brand, expand on her own make up line; the possibilities will come crashing in. Exciting and groundbreaking. Congrats!

Regards,

TrickyMaus

I'm BACK!!!!

2009-11-16T18:26:00.000-08:00

Hello Everyone,

I'm back, sorry, it's been a bit crazy this past year. But I'm back, now as THE 37 year old intern, for @rt P@rtner. I've been upTOWN and downTOWN, now some where in couch-surfing limbo. Loving life, even though it's a top ramen kind of life...Will start posting regularly, so stay tuned...

TrickyMaus

My First Day at. W.S.

2009-10-20T17:41:00.000-07:00

Today was my first day at W.S., starting as the 37 year old intern. I'm still trying to digest everything, don't know how I feel really feel about it. Honestly, it's great to be busy and back doing something instead of watching t.v. and eating all day, but really it's not challenging in anyway. I'm interning in the art department, so it's filing, updating portfolios, organizing pictures, and, get this, helping them empty their trash out at the end of the day.

I was introduced to any of the agents except for one, which was a bit weird. Everywhere I've worked, interns were always introduced to the agents. The art department guys were nice. The other intern was a sweet girl from Germany. Sweet but clueless. She pronounces Michel Comte as Michel COMTAY. I didn't have the heart to correct her.

I had a great lunch with her, she shared with me her dream to become a music photographer, to go on tour with a band one day. I'll share more about that soon when I'm not so tired.

She has been interning there for 3 months already, and she hasn't been given any responsibilities other than filing, updating, messenger calls, etc. She was told today that she would be doing some "retouching" next week, as bonus responsibilities.....Hmmmm.

Funny things that went down today -

An agent was made a remark about a 40 year old intern of his - I thought it was funny. Wondered what he would think and say about me, the 37 year old intern.
Wondering how much experience these people in the office have, curious whether anyone had worked their way up to a position of an agent.
Are they just used to a constant stream of interns, so there's no personalization.

I'm back at W.S. tomorrow, I think they want me to work Tuesday and Wednesdays. Note to self, bring lots of tissues, clorox cleansing wipes, and hand sanitizer. Can you say super dusty, especially going through those files in the back room.
I will start my first day as an intern at M.A. on Friday, and also have interviews tomorrow with A.P. and R.B. on Thursday. I think I want to wind up at a place that will challenge me and let me use all my talents rather than just filing and updating....But it's great to be able to get the behind the scenes fly on the wall perspective.
