"Who’s influenced you the most in your life?" “My principal, Ms. Lopez.” “How has she influenced you?” “When we get in trouble, she doesn’t suspend us. She calls us to her office and explains to us how society was built down around us. And she tells us that each time somebody fails out of school, a new jail cell gets built. And one time she made every student stand up, one at a time, and she told each one of us that we matter.”

Women like Ms. Lopez are the superheroes in our day-to-day world... thank you for supporting our youth!

While attempting to clear some space on my phone, came across some epic pics. First up, that time I cut about 75 ski masks, got Sharpie drunk, and was a panda with about 40 of my pals. And got covered in champagne, confetti, and tons of trash. That ruled. #RIPLCD #drunkgirls (at Factory Studios)

Daily effects of White Privilege

I decided to try to work on myself at least by identifying some of the daily effects of white privilege in my life. I have chosen those conditions that I think in my case attach somewhat more to skin-color privilege than to class,religion, ethnic status, or...

Evening in Space - SHOWstudio - The Home of Fashion Film

Fashion icon Daphne Guinness is getting into the music game. This track was produced by the legendary Tony Visconti, and yep, it sounds like a leftover track he might have had around the house that Bowie forgot to pick up...

And I have to say, I'm not mad at this. Daphne def took a look (and listen) the bunch of these Gagas and Perrys out there and reminded herself she had 100x the closet action that those tricks could ever dream of....
