::JASON LAZURUS:: DEATH & LIFE

Jason Lazurus took a new spin on a dedicational memoriam through art by celebrating the life of artist and teacher Robert Heniecken to create 25 long lasting photograms with his cremated remains. It's kinda beautiful and freaky at the same time.

ALEXANDER McQUEEN GONE AT AGE 40 - SUICIDE

My heart has broken into a million pieces today. I am not supposed to be blogging right now but I have to. I was alerted by a friend this morning that one of my favorite designer's of all time has committed suicide. If you follow this man like I have followed this man's journey you would be in tears too. I have been inspired by him for many years. He just seemed so real. He always let his work speak for him so you never really knew what his personal life was like. One of the greatest designers that have ever lived. Here is a little info on him and some of his beautiful works. 

P.S Please be responsible... the world is hard but we as creative people must battle through it and come out triumphant. You can let it control you or you can take control, be great, and enjoy the fruits of your labor. Once you get to the top it can be lonely find comfort in knowing and loving yourself and god and you will never loose that control over your life. I am sorry that life got the best of such an amazingly talented being but you will live on through the inspiration you have built in the mind's and hearts of others. I will always state Alexander McQueen as a major creative mind, contributor of innovative fashion, and a conqueror of dreams. One of the world's amazing people lost to life's toils and snares. Everything is not alway's what it seems people so live your life to the absolute fullest because you only have one.  

Born in the East End and the son of a taxi driver, McQueen got his training in tailoring in Savile Row, eventually making suits for Prince Charles, and won the distinction of being named British designer of the year four times between 1996 and 2003.He went on to be awarded the CBE, as well as being named International Designer of the Year at the Council of Fashion Designer Awards.McQueen became the 'enfant terrible' of the fashion world after he was famously discovered by Isabella Blow, who was fashion director of Tatler.She bought all the clothes he made for his graduate show for £5,000 and they were delivered to her in black binliners.Miss Blow killed herself in May 2007 after taking an overdose of weed killer after being diagnosed with ovarian cancer. She had attempted suicide several times by then.McQueen was so distraught by Isabella’s death that he dedicated his spring summer 2008 show at Paris fashion week to his late friend.

Born Lee Alexander McQueen, the designer was the youngest of six children.

Openly gay, McQueen - who once described himself as the 'pink sheep of the family' - left school at 16 and went to work at Savile Row’s Anderson & Sheppard, whose clients included Prince Charles and Mikhail Gorbachev, after he saw a television program about the apprentice shortage in traditional tailoring.

He went on to work for Gieves & Hawkes, theatre’s famous Angels & Bermans costumiers, and then worked in Japan and Italy.

He returned to London in 1994, hoping to work as a pattern cutter tutor at London’s prestigious Central Saint Martins fashion school. Thanks to the strength of his portfolio he was persuaded to enroll in the course himself.

After graduating McQueen set up his own label based in the East End of London. With the launch of his 'bumsters' trousers with a waistband so low that the buttocks are revealed, McQueen made his label famous through tabloid headlines.He went on to be named head designer at Givenchy in 1996, succeeding John Galliano, before joining forces with Gucci, who bought 51 per cent of his company.

 I know it's not the most cohesive pictures I could have chosen but I had to post his versatility and different seasons for you guys who don't know him so you can become inspired. Dream on Dreamers! There is always a brighter day:(.

Keith Haring Circa 1980 and some 1990

So the Rhi Rhi video took me back to one of my favorite artist in the whole wide world because in the video she had a whole body suit and background taken right from Keith Haring and so I am gonna take you guys to his world a bit. You can always go check out the Keith Haring official website to see all of his work from the 80's to the 90's when he was diagnosed and died of Aids. It's good to check his work to check out his transition and growth. If you really study his work you will notice that he always thinks bigger each year and that is what we all should do. Think bigger and progress to a higher level with in ourselves. It's enlightening to have change in your life.Never be afraid just embrace what is to come! Luv you guys and stay beautiful in heart and mind always! R.I.P Keith!
