RIP Toriyama. One of the biggest influences on art and design throughout my whole life.

Gonna keep spraying the turtle hermit up to honor him.

Lindsey’s brainchild, Tumblr’s outreach and my directorial debut.

This one’s for you, Coty.

Damn....

After a day like today, I couldn’t help but dig deep into the archives (2012!) and repost this.

Everyone knew/knows Prince was a big part of my Tumblr persona, my real self. Losing someone with such an impact on my musical identity and self is something that I don't have a lot of experience with. So I don’t know exactly what to feel, except the memories and the feelings that follow along with them.

Memories, much like the ones spent in this place so long ago. Watching this again, I can’t believe how many people have changed, have grown, have passed on as well. While we may be connected in different ways, or maybe not even at all any more, everyone meant so much to me and I remember times like this fondly, though more wise and sentimental.

So whether I would die 4 U on top of a little red corvette, underneath the Purple Rain, whilst wearing a raspberry beret or simply gett off darling Nikki with a little bit of pussy control while we kiss like it’s 1999, Prince helped tie us all together in more ways than one.

With that, I re-present you with Darling Nikki, as performed by the Tumblr class of 2012.

Thanks for the advice but stay out of my love life.

With the move from #dublin to #boston complete, I finally get to enjoy my first #vinylsunday in the new loft

[totallycoty]

3 Weeks

After weeks of searching for a place to live in Boston, we finally got approved for a loft in the North End in the lead up to our move in 3 weeks. This is a huge weight off of my mind as all of the moving from Ireland to Boston and Kansas to Boston has really been adding up. 

I’ve been wanting a loft for quite a while, an empty canvas to set up with all of my records and music equipment amongst a sophisticated, retro-chic design. I’m thinking Mad Men with a mixer, a place where Don Draper would DJ.

People in, around, and visiting Boston, let me know and we’ll have loft parties and cocktails.

In the process of packing up my records for the big move and I pulled this out of the shelves and into 1998. I remember seeing this CD at Sam Goody at the local mall and all of the promos that ran on MTV for this concert and wanting to own it so badly. It carried a big, black parental advisory sticker and $25 price tag, which meant it was never going to be purchased for the 12 year-old Coty. All that I can think of now is: what happened to concert tours like this, who really paid Sam Goody prices back in the day, and how the hell has it been 17 years since this came out?

Weird dude, weirder show.

I live(d) here

Nearly 2 years ago, I picked up my life from small town Kansas and pursued a goal to live abroad for the sake of professional and personal development. It’s been nearly 2 years since I sold most of my things, put the rest into storage, and hopped on a plane to Ireland.

I knew it was only going to be temporary, but it’s been fun, trying, emotional, and lucrative and I started falling in love with the idea of never moving back stateside. 

Until I was asked to. 

In only a few months, I’ll say good bye to a place that I was growing more comfortable calling home for a lot longer than I’ll be able to. At the same time, I’ll have to learn how to become comfortable in another new city: 

Boston.

I hope to fall in love with it as much as I have Dublin. Wish me luck.
