Plug - I love San Antonio and I love Queens

This Friday in San Antonio, TX. I don't know how many people happen to be in the Texas area, but if you like drag queens, like I do, these are two of the most lovable. This flyer seemed to pop up short notice so I'm just showing some love. Check out the flyer for more details. Check out my San Antonio blog for more things to do in San Antonio. 

2013 - Catch Up

So I'll admit, I've spent the last few days watching season 4 of RuPaul's Drag Race.

No kidding when people say this show is the best reality show on television. It has all of the best aspects of America's Next Top Model, Project Runway, True Life, Made, and occasionally American Idol. 

Another reason why we should go back to fashion illustration...

"The Many Faces of Manila" by Kyle Letendre. HeyKyle.net

How awesome is this? I personally love the graphics, they have this really cool cartoony/comic styling about them. I won't got into too much detail since I hate being too descriptive. Let's just say that if you don't see why this graphic is cool, then there's something wrong with you. I might even predict that you're not a fun person...maybe you're even feeling a little...alright anyway - moving on!

As for making my case for fashion illustration (even though this technically isn't fashion illustration), since it's industry standard to photoshop people to the point where they don't look real anyway, why not just illustrate everything? Could you imagine Vogue editorials completely illustrated? It would be like high fashion comic book. Sigh. Only in a perfect world.

Being a Flip myself, I'm always looking for ways to represent. I was born on Luzon, after all. I'm probably going to buy this shirt even though I'm going to go cold turkey on the clothes buying for the rest of the year (plus a few months). At the very least, it's consolation for not being able to afford the Manila Luzon Barbie.
