Fashion, fashion, fashion…

November 23, 2008 · Posted in Uncategorized 

It’s been a while since I updated my blog. In part this was due to the last eight months spent commuting back and forth between LA and New York every week. Had a lovely time there, but am happy to be back in the sunshine world of Los Angeles. While in New York, I was working on a project for an international $5b fashion company and – due to my working on integration and finance systems – I got to learn about the whole wing-to-wing process in fashion. Another industry under my belt…

Each time, I work on a project like this, I wonder what I am supposed to learn and how that can help my overall mission of global transformation through authentic self-expression. Well, fashion is one of the original forms of self-expression. From the first humanoid who decided to put on special furs or animal horns to stand out, to today’s multi-billion dollar fashion industry, the clothes we wear are an expression of who we are and what we want to share with the world.

While there, I decided that after years of wearing only plain clothing, it was time to express myself in new ways. Meditating on Yoko Ono’s quote that you have not created art unless half of your audience is booing at the end, I went all out and elaborated on the “Fuck” theme I had started a while ago.

scapegoat.us - own your own realityHence I created scapegoat.us, a new label, and have been wearing my t-shirts on a daily basis. In addition to that, there is also a bunch of lovely other merchandise. Christmas is coming up, so get yours now!

Some people misunderstand the “fuck” as an aggressive or negative thing. This could not be further from the truth, it’s about giving it up. Be done. Stop suffering, shame, fear, pain, anger, worry, all of those emotions that do not help in the least. You will feel them, sure, you definitely should not suppress them, but for fuck’s sake, make them useful! Use them to grow and become more and more of who you really are…

So don’t hesitate! Get your own personal reminder now!

    An artist is someone who produces things that people don't need but that he for some reason thinks it would be a good idea to give them.
