==> Anti-Factory RESTOCK: Migration Patterns!

Just put 20 new items up in the Anti-Factory store! This batch has an international mix of fabrics: African was prints, Indonesian ikat weaves, Japanese textiles, and Indian prints (along with the oldies-but-goodies vintage 70s variety!). I've been loving the boldness of mixing everything up :)



On another note: what's new, world? I've been AWOL in posting to this blog because I started a private version on LiveJournal--it just got too weird having my personal life mixed in with the business end of things. But I'm going to start up with tidbits here and there that still pertain to the art/fashion/politics/making life.

But in the meantime, here's the flotsam and jetsam that's been circling around my head these days. In no particular order of importance (obviously--yeesh!):

--There was a truly scary segment on NPR about the type of viral marketing where they pay ordinary people to insert comments about different products into daily conversation. Supposedly it's pretty common on college campuses and the young 'uns don't seem to mind that they're secretly hawking consumer items for money. Aaaaaaaa! I'm going to start a reverse marketting website where people talk about all the products they HATE and why. Now that'll be fun!

--What's up with Lindsay Lohan? She's a major trainwreck heading for extreme meldown while the world watches and gets entertained by her antics. It's super sad, really.

--Mexican peasant dresses and 70s/80s jumpsuits are all the rage these days (as indicated by the high numbers and cost of them up on ebay!)

--That Lindsay Lohan may be a cocaine addict, too. She's been acting all eratic and stuff.

--Ain't the start of summer bringing us some gorgeous days! Wheeeeeeee!

--Oh, Lindsay, Lindsay, Lindsay. Drew Barrymore should do an intervention and spell out how she went from addict to just dippy. Why is it that the three big teenage girl idols are complete messes (you know, Brit, Paris, and Linds)?
