Fashion - "step up"

Hobbies and interests as clothes, some days feel like movie days, some music, others books, others still writing. Or, is a trap there lying? Where does over-compartmentalization begin and extra shelf space end? A budding sports and lifestyle podcaster once said, "I don't really look at movies, I make 'em." Really was the operative word there, I'd venture. 

As this video from 20!8 illustrates, Simon Vailes is a fashion icon, Fashion is a Simon Vailes icon, and Fashion Stay Trending. Today, Simon Vailes is also a Quarter Finalist in the Elton John AIDS Foundation's Style Icon competition. Hence, she's in the running for a Flaunt Magazine appearance, $20,000, and a trip to the Versace show at Milan Fashion Week. Voting resumes November 17. 

Imagine the original recording of INI's "Step Up" floundering in the studio master obscurity of legal label limbo. I bet you can't. You know it couldn't.

AWOL da Mindwriter - Altered Beast / Chaos Control

Experiences haven't been added via Beta Features, replacing teachers and even thinking with the latest and greatest in automated language sequences. Meanwhile, it's on/off grid like Woody Harrelson with utility bills sans any semblance of celebrity. Celery was an underrated snack (and it still is) especially eaten out of a crack. Action! When parody suffices for fact, parity is an even more divisive act than what's happened. So, you know, what's happening? 

AWOL da Mindwriter hit me a video of his upcoming album with August Fanon, and now there's another. Another video for an AWOL track produced by August Fanon? Yes, plus the song features Planet Asia, and the video was made by Johnny Storm! (Another album produced by August Fanon? Technically, yes, that too, but not featuring AWOL da Mindwriter, so not really what I'm talking about here, though that reinforces an earlier point about syntax perhaps however pedantic.)
