Mercury is in Retrograde...

lightvision@lightvisionstore.com (LIGHTVISION) — Sun, 25 Apr 2010 21:32:00 +0000

and it sucks.
I can always tell when it is, even if I haven't read or heard from anyone that it is. Seriously everything goes wrong when that planet "moves backwards."

If your week has been as bizarre as mine you should do some stress-relief shopping in either our sale section or go for the Spring/Summer collections at the right price ;)

Happy 4/20

The Runaways movie...

lightvision@lightvisionstore.com (LIGHTVISION) — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 18:08:00 +0000

was seriously awesome. It made me want to go bang a gong and get it on, and spit on a car or something.
That was the whole point, right? Movie mission accomplished.
Anyways the NY chapter of Teen Suicide is taking over the Underscore Quarterly blog dis week.

I saw the movie with Stewart and Rian last night alongside Sydney and Ashley (RosenMunns) and this is the first thing that they posted on the blog! Memories from last night, yayayayayay.

Hope everyone is having a good Monday

I KNOW WHY NO

lightvision@lightvisionstore.com (LIGHTVISION) — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 21:49:00 +0000

This past Sunday Jessica and I had the pleasure of meeting Aino Vaino, the mastermind behind the Finnish based collection, I Know Why No. Her stuff is amzing if you haven't viewed it before. She works hard and is perfect at what she does. I also loved the video she made for her pre fall 2010 collection. We here at light vision hope to work with her very soon. Although this talented woman is a one-woman show, making it hard to produce many orders at once, so we'll see what unfolds. meanwhile here are some pics from her showing which was held at the IVANA Helsinki/Love Contemporary Pop-Up Store. Here is the link to her website (which is wonderful as well)

I KNOW WHY NO

it's HERE!

I'm editing a bunch of photos today, meaning RosenMunns Spring is here and ready to be posted before I head out to work tonite!

I'm posting this video clip of Kit Carruthers and Holly Sargis dancing in Badlands because it's one of my favorite movie scenes of all time. I couldn't find a good clip, but this will do.

"Love is Strange" is also a very good song. Sissy Spacek... Martin Sheen you look gooood!

Here's the link, don't know how to post it here

Dimples: reviewed by Dusted Magazine dotty com

lightvision@lightvisionstore.com (LIGHTVISION) — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 07:57:00 +0000

One of my favorite bands (and not just because it consists of my favorite people) got a review on dustedmagazine.com that's worth reading.

If you didn't know this already Dimples rulezz, read the review and buy their record! And go to their Myspace page, that the dusted magazine reviewer isn't so amped on ;)

The review is below:

Dimples
Council Bluffs LP
(Holy Smoke)

"This is the best part of reviewing records. Some nondescript looking thing shows up, vaguely named, looking like an Ebullition release from 1995, and then it totally blows your hair back. Council Bluffs is like a wild, basement level Exile on Main Street. Saxophones freakout and wail, guitars switch from cleanly overdriven to ratty $2 fuzz box feedback, and the whole thing takes on this air of desperation, teetering on the edge of sliding out of tune. Despite its punk looseness, a lot of ideas are worked out in a classic rock tradition, from big riffs, to slacker choral groups, big stomping soul numbers, and some country touches. At its core Dimples remind me of a non-Vegas Rocket From The Crypt, and Come on Everybody Let’s Rock era Oneida. The singer sounds a lot like Speedo Jr., and to wit, a sneering Axl on the slower numbers. I believe it’s the project of young Stones & Stooges worshiping Gainesville to San Diego transplants. A guileless and fun record that isn’t likely to be welcome at the moody, image crafted party of the current zeitgeist, but I’d still urge people to track down a copy. I’d love to know more about these guys and girls, but there’s no information to be found online, outside of an empty Myspace page with a dreadful layout. (http://www.myspace.com/dimplesband)

Blog Post: Is Mental

lightvision@lightvisionstore.com (LIGHTVISION) — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 17:01:00 +0000

Blog homage # 2!

Is Mental!

I love is Mental because it is one of the most informative blogs I've come across...
Not only does Amanda post about really amazing designers,

(Claudia Becker's Spring 2010 inspired by Klaus Nomi^)

but she gives me the deets on sample sales,

posts her cute outfit shots,

and appreciates RosenMunns POSSIBLY as much as I do.

Amanda you one fly girl, when we gonna hang out?

*Please note ALL images are from Is Mental (doy)

Anyways go have a looksie if you haven't before.

New Arrivals: Ambit Faux Fur Hat

lightvision@lightvisionstore.com (LIGHTVISION) — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 19:41:00 +0000

I just added one hell o' a hat to the website.
It's very well made and very stylish and very good for the winter that the Northern Hemisphere be having right now.

I doubt these will last long due to the reasonable price and how much praise it got at the _ Quarterly release show... But here it is, admire it and buy it here

Blog Post: Mafia Hunt

lightvision@lightvisionstore.com (LIGHTVISION) — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 16:33:00 +0000

Since I am on the computer so much for Light Vision I end up blog browsing for a good 4 hours a day... semi- waste of time, yet semi-useful since I find out about cool things without searching for it myself... I just read about someone else's searchin work.

Since I come across so many good blogs from people all over the globe I decided I would start paying homage to these people and all their dedi to the world wide web.

First blog to post about:
Mafia Hunt

This is one of my favorite blogs:
a.) Melissa has a really strong, streamlined aesthetic that pleases my eyes
b.) She posts about a lot of good shit (designers, art, etc.)

Her most recent post is about David Berezin. I like that she can live in Canada, me in Brooklyn, and she posts about a friend in San Francisco... small www wrld.

I love internet friends, Meli keep up the amazeballz blog/work!

Back on my game

lightvision@lightvisionstore.com (LIGHTVISION) — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 15:39:00 +0000

The title of this post insinuates that I'm gonna get back on my game, in this case update the blog more.
But have you noticed this is becoming a trend? Every five weeks or so I post something similar to this?
Oh well, that's how my cookie crumbles.
First thing is first Happy February!
January was very busy for me, in terms of having fun, not being productive.
It consisted of: a visit from Bailey of Warp Weft Woof!, a visit from my bestie who lives in California, another bestie from California moved in with me!! (miss Danielle of Wreck N' Sew,) I finally got a job (but that was 3 days ago, so does that count for January happenings?), Light Vision added zines and small press to the roster, Light Vision had table space at the _ Quarterly Issue 4 release (where we got to spend time with the lovely Milano from Medium Rare (zines from them coming soon;)), Susie Bubble tweeted about the RosenMunns See-Thru Pants (which brought us some attention), Refinery 29 also brought us some attention due to the See-Thru Pants, and some Polish website (zerplunka.pl??) also posted about the See-Thru Pants... seriously these pants are causing a stir (oohs ahhhs and ewwws... (whatever your personality), Chelsea turned 22 and had a one woman party while Jessica, Dani and I watched, I went to a secret place at Grand Central Terminal (like Harry potter secret, so I can't tell you,) I went to a Harley Davidson party with Miss Audrey Louise Reynolds and Mr. Bryan Krueger, and last Amy Sky from Hidden Spectrum was here, and although I didn't get to visit with her, I did receive a lovely drawing from her that is now the front page artwork for this month, so yay!
What a month, what an update, what a life.
Also my computer screen is still broken, any donations you all wanna throw my way so I can get it fixed will be accepted, no arguments there.

It's true ^

_ Quarterly release aftermath

lightvision@lightvisionstore.com (LIGHTVISION) — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 03:43:00 +0000

Thanks to everyone who came out to Silent Barn the other night, twas fun. Super good turnout, and talents, I spent most of my time in the front of the space away from all the bands along with Milano from Medium Rare, but we could hear everything from the show and we were in good company;)
Oh and I had my first bag of Cheese Doodles, which were very good, with even better packaging.

(plus you can buy a 30-pack from amazon.com, the back of the bag is where the good packing is, but here's a pic of the front... wow so interesting, glad I'm sharing this with u)

Here are the only pics I managed to take from the event (that aren't completely blurry.)

Bryan at the Swill Children table looking very excited! Someone is stepping on his head, or about to...

'Tis me setting up the Light Vision table.

Amber and Wray of ambit (they brought me a new goodie to add to the site!)

Danielle of Wreck N' Sew... my bodyguard, merchandiser, and go to girl for holding the fort down.

Okay thanks again, and be sure to check out the new _ Quarterly issue, now available for purchase here!
