URB Mag Special Edition feat Amanda Blank & Maluca
URB magazine teamed up with the girls at Mean Red and put out a special edition Digital Magazine featuring Maluca and Amanda Blank. It was styled by Valissa and photographed by my former partner King Texas. The photos are great, some of the best I have seen from Texas. The interviews are also informative and easy to digest. I do have issues with the Digital Magazine format, and more specifically the page navigation which just doesn’t feel natural. I just think the Digital Magazine format is something that will find it’s home on mobile devices like the one by Bonnier that I blogged about a few weeks back. I prefer to scroll through information traditionally on a web page rather than toy around with the phony page turn and magnifying features. And I wish they had an embed function for the Digital Mag so I wouldn’t have to hyperlink you. Come on coders start slinging. Regardless it’s great to see the folks at URB mag taking chances and pushing the envelope. It’s well worth the read. I posted some screen grabs below, to check out the full feature click here.

Fashion and Queer undercurrent at Sway ONCE A MONTH!
What happens when you take ROXY COTTONTAILS biggest “profiling” Hip Hop party and infuse it with Queer hosts (Contessa) and DJ’s (Telfar and Kingdom from MR. BLACK’S CASTLE SATURDAYS) ?!!! You get a melange of “Industry” and/or Underground party people coming out of the wood work.
Typically Sway is known for it’s Mondays Electric Punanni, and Rice and Pea’s but something was missing for fashion hip hop heads.
Adding elements of queer friendly, fashion forward and Industry thinking – we get a balance of crazy partying and the ability (which Sway Mondays was missing for a while) NETWORKING.
With that being said, being involved on a Sway Monday that speaks to me, makes me very happy to be apart of a creative scene.
MAY 11TH 2009
Not to mention the first Fruity Cocomuffs Diplo did a surprise DJ set after miss Mad Decent’s MALUCA performed! This EDITION our home girl Shyvonne and Shamz Le Roc KILLED it.
So Queers, and Fashionista’s who like to bump and grind and dutty wine to a party with an undercurrent of Queer friendly energy, this is it ONCE A MONTH AT FRUITY COCOMUFFS!
I LOVE SWAY MONDAYS! The best hip hop party in NYC, EVER, PERIOD.
