@amylucidlou rocked our slip-ons during the show. She hasn’t stopped wearing them since. What do y’all think? Is this prototype working or nah? #equalityfashionweek #designingwomen #musicians #director #independentartist #lafw #diy #nopermission #shamelessus (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bor4vDYAb7y/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=vnylsyrmjari

Meet Gender-Fluid Shoe Designer Nik Kacy

We are in love with the passion and the style of Nik Kacy. The pride and dedication he puts into his new gender-fluid shoe line undeniable.

NiK Kacy is a fashion line inspired by the fashion needs of both its founder and the larger LGBTQ community. NiK Kacy, who identifies as gender-fluid, queer and trans, designed his first collection of masculine of center gender-neutral shoes in order to provide a solution for the on-going problem of individuals unable to purchase men’s style shoes due to limitations in sizing set by the shoe industry based on gender. His first collection, Fortune, consists of 5 classically masculine looking styles, now modernized with colorful contrasts and re-proportioned to fit those who identify in whatever spirit they deem fit.

His desire for gender equality extends further by expanding his label to include an upcoming feminine-of-center collection, featuring high-heel style shoes in the same European unisex sizes ranging from 34-47 (US women’s 3.5 to men’s 14). NiK successfully completed a Kickstarter campaign to fund the creation of his Fortune line and hopes to develop a truly gender-neutral footwear and fashion collection so that all people can express their authentic selves without being boxed in a gender binary.

Our philosophy is that fashion is about style, and style is not limited by gender or gender expression. Walk with us. Walk your way.

He surely has #mortasay.

Radiohead - 15 Step #Mortasay Cover Rehearsal

The things you can do with an overhead mic, a midi keyboard, and a Cajon.  Just thought we’d share a snippet of our rehearsal from Sunday.  We’re still working out the stripped down versions of our original songs, but it’s actually a really good exercise in minimalism. 

The show setlist for Thursday includes the cover of “15 Step” by Radiohead which will be available for purchase on our website before May 13.  May 13 as some of you may know is actually Amy’s birthday and falls on a Friday.  What better way to celebrate Amy and her momentous Friday the 13th birthday than with the gift of music. Hint, hint! Wink, wink!

"Defend With Me" A Bernie Sanders Dedication

Shout to artist Ana Saldaña and her tribute song to Bernie Sanders.

I’m proud to call this young woman mi familia. I’ve had the pleasure of watching her blossom from a teenager into a powerhouse.

Ana Saldaña is a Los Angeles native. She is a singer/songwriter, producer, and activist for immigrant rights and Mother Earth. Ana believes music is our soul’s revolution and hopes to keep her culture and roots alive through song. Ana’s Mexican regional influences have inspired and shaped her sound today. She has affectionately coined Neo Soul Ranchera.

Please enjoy her contribution. I know there is more to come from her, for sure. She definitely has #mortasay

Amy Hates My Text Messages

Vonyse, here.  I wanted to make a video reminding everyone about our show @Bar20 on Thursday, April 21st.  Instead we ended up talking about my lack of emotions while texting.  Apparently, a few of the people in my life who text me feel my texts are emotionless.  Of course Amy, being the wonderful communicator/debater she is, had evidence to support her argument.  The attached video is just a short recap of what we discovered as we read my responses in her text feed.  Let me just say, I love intimate phone conversations.  I’m not always patient enough to answer via text, especially when I know we’re going to talk later.

That being said, I have promised to work on my texting and my posting.  If you’re out there and you’re listening and you think my texts are emotionless, please let me know.  And then give me some input on how I can do better.  I’m so open for more growth this year it’s not even funny.  No, really, I’m finally at the point in my life where I overly embrace change and lessons in change.  Bring it!!!

On another note, come out and bang with us on Thursday.  It’s FREE!  It will just be Amy and I making as much noise as we can on a cajon and midi keyboard.  We hit at 9:30pm.  SEE YOU SOON!

We're In the February Issue of Shemag

Hey #molovers, guess what dynamic duo is in the february issue of Shemag. It’s the first of many exciting things to come. We just wanted to share this with you all, as we grow on our journey. Thank you to everyone that has been supporting us. It has definitely taken a long while for us to be able to fully share ourselves and our story. If we touch one life through our struggles, our music or our love, then our living will be on purpose.

Our overall message is that every story counts. We all have more to say, no matter how you choose to express yourself of not. You matter! So again, to our friends and love ones, thank you. You might not know how much the space your provide for us means, but we cherish it. Hope to see you soon! With love, #Mortasay.
