This skirt gives me Easter egg butt. I'm ok with that.
Someone told me we would be having a dry winter, my first thought was "Ooh! I can buy suede".

Closet Stories

I truly hate doing videos. I feel awkward and unnatural. At least the editing in this video is fantastic and Linguine looks adorable. A huge thank you to bloglovin for coming over and taking a peek.
Don't judge, video-awkwardness is a real disease.

You can see more closet stories on their blog.

FNO with Tory Burch

Last night I had the pleasure of hosting a little FNO event at Tory Burch on Robertson Blvd. The boutique is a charming little space with the best of Tory Burch. They have the Fall 2011 collection almost in it's entirety, and let me tell you, the collection is as amazing in store as it was when I saw it walk the runway last season. A huge thank you to the Tory Burch team for being so sweet and welcoming.

Here's a little teaser video I put together of the collection.

Pages of fun

(thank you to the beautiful Dee Larsen for giving me the idea for this vid)
A couple flip books we made at the Modcloth party.
I want to make billions more of these little things. I feel terribly sad when I think of all the moments I won't be able to document in the form of an adorable flip book. These mini party favors give you the delightful ability to manipulate time with a simple flip of a page. Having time at my fingertips is not an occurrence I pass up.

*Finally created a Facebook fan page for the blog!*

I want this video to be my life. mkthanks

The Birthday Short

Hello Friends!
How are you?
How was your weekend?
Thank you all for all your birthday wishes Saturday!
It was a wonderful 24th birthday!
My family gave me the surprise gifts of gifts...
It's an Old Russian 16mm Film Camera called a Krasnogorsk K-3.
It's the camera my favorite director started out using.
i never thought i would get one, and really didn't even know they knew how much i wanted it!.
Thanks my family! Love you! ;)
It was especially amazing cause i've been wanting to get a little more into directing films...
so now i have to, huh? i've got a concept already for my first short film..
I'll let you know more about it when i'm ready cause i will probably need some help! hah ;)

Ok, so as a thank you to all of you for supporting me,
i thought on my birthday, it's better to give than receive...
So i made you all this video...
This was my first time experimenting with my own version of Walt Disney's Mulitplane Camera.
I felt like a Mad Scientist making this...
My Studio is thrashed and it's so tough working on glass and using dimension...
well, I hope you like it. :)
Oh, the picture i drew was off of my sketch for the Series on Love.

Hope you had a great weekend!
So i know i posted this video about a year or so ago...
But i just found it again looking through old videos that i did,
and i thought i would post it again. :)
The Video is Called "The Life of My Studio"
and it was edited together off of random clips i shot in my studio,
and the music is off of radiohead "string out" album.
I hope you enjoy it :)

Animation Test Movie

Dior Test Animation

Good morning! Good morning!
It's all nice and cold right now, and i'm sipping on coffee!
Woot woo! Feels pretty good. ;)
Ok,so i reanimated this scene from my test animation.
Here it is! Sorry there isn't more; i haven't had any time,
but my goal is to finish it this summer.
The music is something i wrote a little while back for this story.
i hope it works out for the full animation, but not sure...
Hope you're all doing great!

P.S. Thanks for sending me the pictures of you all wearing the shirts. It's been so fun seeing you all wearing the shirts from all over.
Keep them coming! :)

Dreaming Walking - Motion Test

Hey Friends! Happy Friday!
I know it's Inspiration Friday,
So instead of posting images, i thought i would post this little motion Test i did today.
I'm thinking of starting to direct little movie shorts & Music Videos...
SO, i made this little special effects test today to see if i could pull off some ideas i want to do.
I hope you like it :)
The Music is from one of my favorite bands, Efterklang.
Let me know what you think!
Have a great day!

Hide & Seek - Stop Motion

hahahhahahahahahahaha
Well Alice Came over yesterday,
so we decided to have some stop motion fun... haha
We made 2 little shorts.
The First one was a little Gumby Stop Motion Movie.
and then the second was this Hide & Go Seek Short!
haha i know it's random, but it was fun to make.
Alice Styled the video,
and we climbed up on the hill behind my house.
Then we just went for it. hahah
so ridiculous!
I hope you like it.
The song is by Jon Brion from the "I heart Huckabees" sound track

The 10 Minute Sketch

Hello Friends!
Did you all have a great day with your Mother's yesterday?
I sure did. It was such a nice relaxing day.
We hung out, watched Arrested Development & then later watched the old classic "South Pacific",
which was my first time seeing it, and i loved it.
i don't think they made any bad movies back then, it's so amazing.

Well, later last night i decided to make an extremely Quick Video for you all.
I gave myself 10 minutes to begin and end the drawing,
mostly because my camera can only record in 5 minute slots
and also cause my chip was full at 10 minutes... haha
But the drawing i did was of this great picture of Alix of the blog The Cherry Blossom Girl.
For the sketch I drew with a sharpie on glass, and then painted with Acrylic after.
I think i will be redrawing that picture in a few days on normal paper, not glass... so i will keep you posted.
The Video is real simple; i hope you like it :)

The Alexander McQueen Display

Well, i think I'm officially done with youtube!
I edited this Video yesterday for you all,
and was having tons of trouble uploading it,
then finally this morning when i got the Video up on there, what happens?
Youtube had disabled the audio to my video cause it said the audio violates the copyright of i think it was Universal Music Group...
Which is kind of ridiculous considering i paid them money by buying the song,
and it's not like i'm selling the video...
So, huh? Now, i can't make videos unless i write all the music?
Whatever... Sorry for the mini-rant, but i was pretty disappointed this morning.
So solution! Vimeo!!
They are better in every regard so i will be uploading everything to them for now on.

The Video i made by mapping camera movements of still pictures i took of my McQueen Display.
Basically, i love all of Alexander McQueen's Collections cause they're straight out of a storybook.
So with that said, i decided to create a world for McQueen's People.
This Layered Display is what i came up with.
I call it "The Under Ground Forest"
All the clothes in the Display are from McQueen Collections.
I hope you like it. Wish you all could see it in real life. :)
It's definitely the piece i personally enjoy the most.
