okay so im taking a break. when i started LAriot it was just about me making art and sharing it with people so i need to get back to that. I want to create art again on my own terms with people that I respect and care for. so you can find me in my room drawing with my cat, robyn playing in the background and some trashy reality show on the tv.

california laws. crazy.

2010-01-02T15:47:00.002-05:00

Happy New Yurrr.

Speaking of new things, according to The Huffington Post, California has passed a whole slew of new laws.

A few highlights:

Education: Allows school and student performance data to be used to judge the quality of instruction. The change will allow California to compete for federal Race to the Top education grants.

Harvey Milk: Proclaims gay-rights activist Harvey Milk's May 22 birthday as a day of recognition and encourages schools to consider commemorating his life.

And of course, your "only in California...!" laws:

Paparazzi penalties: Allows celebrities and others to sue for up to $50,000 when someone takes and sells their pictures without permission while they are engaging in "personal or familial activity," such as taking their children to school.

Talent agents: Prohibits talent representatives from charging advance fees.

Snake food: Requires pet stores to use specific, "humane" methods for killing rodents before they are used as food for another animal.

It's gonna be a good year.

2009-12-30T00:03:00.002-05:00

2009-12-19T21:00:00.005-05:00

if you havent noticed ive been very productive these last few hours..

someone pretty awesome shared this with me..

this is one of the songs that made me fall in love with modest mouse. its kinda been a modest mouse kind of day. but i got the new layout done. thoughts?

also now working on fixing some of the photos in the store and hopefully sending off my designs for STICKERS...

2009-12-19T15:48:00.000-05:00

i am in a fucking stupid mood.

its snowing.

im stuck inside.

ive only designed one shirt today

whats wrong with me?

i think 2010 will be better.

2009-12-09T22:51:00.000-05:00

exactly what i needed...now i can get to work.

2009-12-05T15:29:00.000-05:00

so its snowing...and im hating every minute of it. im not prepared for this at all. my winter apparel was just ordered and probably wont be here till next week. so im stuck in the house.

before i go lock myself in my studio for the next 48hrs. wanted to share these two videos that im in LOVE with.

Phoenix - 1901 - A Take Away Show from La Blogotheque on Vimeo.

2009-12-02T00:28:00.000-05:00

so i think i found my muse.

maybe.

the next series of shirts might get weird..but in a good way.

tuts my barreh

2009-11-30T17:02:00.000-05:00

Back from haitus!

So first off, I was late on the YouTube game. My DAD got into YouTube videos before me. That being said, I've been slowly catching up on my internet memes, in video form, over the course of this month.

Here's a gem that has become part of my daily routine, next to reading NPR and checking my Gmail

2009-11-26T10:53:00.000-05:00

vegan nachos...yep thats whats for thanksgiving dinner.

2009-11-25T01:24:00.000-05:00

seriously. in LOVE.

2009-11-24T00:05:00.001-05:00

so i went to brooklyn this weekend with my partner in crime devon. got the most amazing denim jacket for $20 that we then cut the sleeves off with a kitchen knife.

we then got crazy...sang "tardy for the party", had an awkward encounter with a girl from a month ago and took photobooth photos.

overall a perfect weekend. i love my friends.

oh i also saw a secret movie with my sister from another mister MARIE! lets not talk about it.

2009-11-17T23:47:00.000-05:00

Massan... from john smith on Vimeo.

this video makes me want to ride my bike forever.

can someone please tell me why every other city has amazing group rides but dc has maybe one a month? and the few i end up going to are usually so unorganized. i really want to start a midnight riderz group in dc. group rides every friday night. anyone wanna help me organize this? holla at your girl.

2009-11-15T19:16:00.000-05:00

so lately ive been slacking on the blog and designing but think ive come up with a plan we all can live with. i will try to update the blog everyday. and new stuff will be added to the store every 3 or 4 months. figured that would give be enough time to really put the best stuff out and experiement with different ideas.

im going to go ride my bike and get inspired.

also if someone could find this cat or make my cat bishop doing amazing things such as this, i will love you forever.

2009-11-03T18:11:00.000-05:00

what happens in brooklyn..stays in brooklyn.

2009-10-26T09:50:00.000-04:00

so went to brooklyn for the weekend to see the sister from another mister. we went to see where the wild things are in imax..ran into these guys.

then met up with the lovely devon and we danced.

what happens in brooklyn..stays in brooklyn.

2009-10-18T22:11:00.001-04:00

i just wanted to share these two projects.

ghost bikes

safe walk/right rides

i would love to start a safe walk program in dc. anyone down?

haitus

2009-10-16T21:35:00.000-04:00

back from haitus!

first point of business: BALLOON BOY. the hot gossip at my work from 3pm-5pm yesterday. i can't believe it was all a hoax. and today, he puked on national television? i was a little sad that it was a hoax but glad that him puking on TV will haunt him for the rest of his life.

in laura news... went to LA for a week. not too shabby. my friend who i visited put me on some really good music but being in the area (and the record shops, more importantly) re-cultivated my interest in bands that i've forgotten about.

new music:
NEON INDIAN (also playing Rock and Roll Hotel on Monday)

NEON INDIAN - LAUGHING GAS from Heidi Petty on Vimeo.

old music:
HUSKER DU (scored a sweet 7". never gonna let that one go)

SO GOOD.

over and out.

2009-10-15T19:36:00.000-04:00

add this to the list of dances i wanna learn and break out at every party possible. anyone?

2009-10-12T23:23:00.000-04:00

guess you've made it when people try to sell/make fake versions of your stuff?! as a result of some drama this is your last chance to order any stitched tshirts. starting oct 17 certain items will be removed from the store.we are going in a new direction. expect greatness.

2009-10-12T15:57:00.001-04:00

pretty busy weekend. i went to the equality march which was pretty awesome. biked around dc and got hit on by old lesbians who love to touch my tattoos. highlights below. fyi..i remember that lady being camped out in front of the white house when i was in high school...many many years ago. that's dedication.

i also finally got around to adding the new stuff to the store. including our very first BABY SHIRT. and of course i had to use by favorite baby elijah to represent.

2009-10-08T23:21:00.000-04:00

so ive had a gnarly sinus headache all day. hopefully my midnight trip to cvs for meds and ginger ale make this stop cause i have alot to do. i should be updating the store but instead ive been crushing over this...

2009-10-06T19:11:00.001-04:00

so the photos are coming in. all look good so far. ill be changing and adding stuff to the store all week so keep a look out. also if your in dc..come hang out.

2009-10-03T11:50:00.001-04:00

today is the day.

photo shoot madness.

and this is my theme song. just imagine me steaming shirts while singing this beauty. cause its happening right now.

2009-10-01T22:25:00.000-04:00

this is supposed to be fun. but lately its just all drama.

sister from another mister said it best. i went with my gut and now it makes sense.

2009-09-28T01:22:00.001-04:00

in other news. i saw these guys over the weekend. so good. except girl talk part 2 that opened for them.

and i would like to marry this woman..

2009-09-27T23:44:00.001-04:00

so this is me stressed out...

photo shoot date is set. models are ready. and it might rain?! please please please no rain. i really hate studio shots.

2009-09-19T17:20:00.000-04:00

havent posted anything in awhile..miss me? things have been crazy. but ive been working on new designs and am hoping to have a photoshoot within the next two weeks.

this was sent to me and i just had to share.

2009-09-07T19:35:00.000-04:00

so this has been stuck in my head for days now..

2009-09-02T23:25:00.001-04:00

so things have been crazy. my mind is all over the place. havent really had time to write or design.

but things are looking up. the lovely carla (the official photographer for LAriot) is coming back from the philippines in a few days so that has kinda motivated me to get off my ass and design some new fall stuff so that we can shoot asap. get excited!

and in other news....

2009-08-28T15:16:00.000-04:00

i just couldnt wait so we went to the midnight show. soo intense. but soo good.

all i remember is dana saying " i need lights...i need the lights.."

think i need to see it again. anyone?

2009-08-25T23:01:00.000-04:00

in fucking love..

p.s. are you in a band? want free stuff? well then great. we are looking for a few good bands to add to our LAriot family.

2009-08-24T20:01:00.000-04:00

"sick day"

2009-08-13T15:53:00.000-04:00

I've never taken a sick day just because but I did yesterday and I sat around and applied for new jobs and watched Mad Men all day. Best day ever. Speaking of Mad Men-- those people got some serious style.

2009-08-12T20:29:00.000-04:00

tonight!!! dj julian franco spinning in-store @ madewell, tysons corner from 7-9pm.

i'm "ghost-dj'ing" ie: i handpicked the tracks he's playing. i'm so horribly bad at dj'ing but maybe he'll let me hop on the decks and spin a few tracks.

see ya there.

/laura

2009-08-06T12:00:00.000-04:00

since laura is trying to show me up with her intro i figured i should go ahead an do the same.

im jen. i am LAriot. i design, print and stitch every design you see here. and i am pretty handsome.

and if you could find this for me ill love you forever

allow myself to introduce...myself.

2009-08-05T20:47:00.000-04:00

word up, world. i'm laura. figured i should introduce myself before i start posting crazy things. i co-run a dc fashion blog called exoskeleton. if we were looking at a lifespan of this blog's history, i'd still be in the hospital where all blogs are born, waiting to be taken home. or adopted. ya know, whichev. when it's up and running, i'll post the link.

oh, and here is an obligatory photo, pour moi.

taken by my friend and photographer extraordinaire, al.

anyways, in the past day or so i've discovered two awesome things.

one: snuggies for dogs

two: la roux

kind of drives me bonkers that you have to stare at that monkey the entire time but it's worth it in my book.

more posts to come.

/laura

2009-08-05T20:20:00.000-04:00
