MILK Studios and Ford Motor Unveil "Wall To Wall: The Fusion Collective"

Hey guys!

When I look at a car, I don't instinctively see it as art, but rather as a functional vehicle to take you someplace. So it explains why Ford would partner with MILK Studios to create "Wall to Wall: The Fusion Collective," an innovative multimedia experience. It brings together six artists: musician Pharrell Williams, Nathaniel Brown, WIFE, Matthew Williams who was the previous creative director for Lady Gaga, Cyril Duval, fashion/conceptual art designer, and Brian DeGraw. All have created original artwork and opened up their studios to the public, documenting their creative processes through editorial and video content on www.fusionists.co.

I had the honor of attending this exhibit Tuesday night with my dear friend/fellow blogger Candy Washington. We had a ball, I don't many art exhibits where the DJ's were on point and I dance the night away :) 

Ford unveiled the "Wall to Wall: The Fusion Collective" exhibition, at an amazing event that showcased amazing  talent, and prepares for the release of the newly redesigned 2013 Ford Fusion next month. The event included celebrity appearances by Shawn White and Adrian Grenier (of Entourage fame, and now partnering with Ford through his eco-friendly company SHFT). We spotted Adrian a few times, he really blended in with the crowd.

 

I had the opportunity to be in the drivers seat, lol Once I put the googles on, I felt as if I was living in the world Grand Theft Auto. 

 

lol beauty meets technology This has to be the coolest hotdog stand/DJ booth I have seen! DJ Venus X and #Been #Trill spun throughout the night, best mixes I have heard in a long time!

It was a great night, I love NYC during the summer and fall! I caught a dance off that I thought was the cutest thing!

Be Yourself: Easier as you get older

Realized that my birthday is 2 months away (May 27th) 


I will be 28 years old: WHOA!


Honestly, I used to get the birthday blues; not sure if you guys have experienced it. You think about all the things you didn't do, the fact you are 1 year older and you are wondering what the fuck you should be doing with yourself? (Sorry to be so blunt lol for the PG readers.) I definitely had moments like that around the time of my birthday. 


I was relieved that last year I didn't have the blues at all! My birthday weekend was low key and I loved it.  I surrounded myself with people I really care about. 


Looking back on my 27th year the ups and downs, I am actually more comfortable with myself than I was in my early 20's. I cared a lot what people thought of me when I was younger, held grudges, trying to fit in, and not thinking I was good enough. I don't know when I stopped caring but I am happy I did! There are still a few moments of doubt but I'm working on it (Jan/Feb 2012 were MAJOR learning lessons for me), I know that comes with time. 


I thought it would be appropriate since I am talking about time and personal growth to celebrate the 2nd anniversary of getting my tattoo:

Nirvana Shirt Chaser LA purchase at Singer22

My tattoo is a West African Adinkra symbol:  MMERE DANE, which means symbol of change, life's dynamics.

There have been a lot of changes the past few years, good and bad. I choose to focus on the good and learn from the bad.

I am looking forward to my 28th year and keeping it low key in regards to a celebration. I do want to get a great outfit just because... it's my birthday, fuck yea I'm going to look great lol

I found an old pic of myself at my 25th birthday party.  I have changed since that picture: style-wise and personality.

I know I need to do an outfit post, I'll make it happen this weekend ;) Hope everyone is enjoying their week!
