It’s snowing now in Minneapolis, has been for a month, this weekend there was a blizzard that dumped 2 feet of snow and -20 degree weather, this shot was before that.

Last week my friend Jeffree Star came into town to play a show, he’s from LA, and I stopped by to hang out for a bit.

A few weeks after I first got to Minneapolis my friend Jonny Craig of Emarosa and Dance Gavin Dance was in town with Emarosa playing a show at the Cabooze, we had a hell of a night that night!

One of the best shows I’ve seen up here so far, Circa Survive and Attack Attack at the Cabooze!

My Friends the Millionaires are obssessed with my feather Jewelry, they wore it on stage the night I hungout with them and have ordered a bunch since..

Halloween was crazy, we ended up drinking a ton of patron and going to a bunch of dance parties, haha!

Lastly this is a shot I took/made for my collection RedDevilLove, ‘The Devil In Me’.

I’l be posting regularly now that I have a little more time, I’ve got a ton of stuff coming up too, like a two week roadtrip across the U.S., NY Fashion Week, Me Undies shoot in LA, and SUPERBOWL XLV in Dallas!!!

So last Wednesday was my pre-birthday party at The ISH w/ Parker Lawson & John Michael!!!  Thanks to everyone for coming out and celebrating with me, I had a lot of fun going crazy and dancing!  My new bosses over at 944 Magazine also got me a $150 gift card for Ghostbar so I managed to drink the night away, thanks guys!  See the rest of the photos from my crazy night HERE!!

Our very special St. Patrick’s Day Party at The ISH with Marshall Barnes was amazing! So many people came out to celebrate our favorite drinking holiday and do it in style.  We had a special photobooth and Marshall Barnes’ set sent the party into overdrive at midnight and lasted all night long!  We hope to see everyone this Tuesday a special ISH, a huge Battle Royale event hosted by DJ Craze! For the rest of the pictures click: HERE

Steve Aoki was back for his second time to ‘THE ISH’ this past Wednesday and he never fails to deliver something unforgettable every time.  I haven’t seen Ghostbar that packed full of people since the last time he was in town at the end of last year. Adding to all the NBA All-Star Week energy going around, he started the festivities around Dallas off the way you’d expect — hard, fast, and on point.  This was one of the best parties I’ve been to so far this year!  Check out the rest of the photos from the night HERE!

Last weekend I went out to see my friends in the band’s Neon Indian and Ishi play at Hailey’s, in Denton, TX.  The show looked like it was gonna sell out at 8pm and they didn’t even go on until 11:30pm, it was pretty amazing!  This time last year Neon Indian was but a beginning, now in 2010 they’ve seen and toured the world, been mentioned on the national news, and have a fan following that seems to growing by the minute.  They aren’t the only band making waves though, Ishi is just another example of the growing music scene in Dallas, TX, despite the citiy government’s blatantly obvious hatred for it, and anything creative.  Ishi’s sound is a finely tuned dancing machine, that infects anyone that hears it.  I even found myself dancing in the middle of photographing them!  Look for big things coming from these two bands in the future!

On Monday my good friends NEON INDIAN came back to Dallas, TX to do a show at the Granada Theatre with ISHI. It was quite possibly the best performance by either band I’ve ever seen. There had to of been between three or four hundred kids tightly packed around the famous Granada Theatre stage for both bands. Neon Indian and Ishi’s success can not only be attributed to their great stage presence but to the amazing music that they create. Fizzy Dino Pop also performed at the beginning of the show, I’ve never seen him before but I’d keep my eye out on him, I was definitely impressed, he had the group all fired up for Ishi.

My week in LA started on a Tuesday at Cinespace, I was in LA to do a Spring 2010 Shoot for a Huge company I’ll tell you guys about in the future. One of my favorite places on a Tuesday in L.A. is Cinespace, they have Dim Mak Tuesdays there which is Steve Aoki‘s dance party.

They ended up having bands playing in the back and I caught this group, just two people, one on a synth and another on violin and guitar, it was one of the coolest things I’ve seen in awhile!  I met up with my Friend Ivy Levan, who models in Los Angeles, that night.  Everytime Im there the energy and atmosphere is oh so good!  The Next day I felt it for sure, but breakfast at TART was just the trick to get me going. After an exhausting day on the shoot I headed back to the hotel and changed then headed to Hollywood for Club Moscow @ Boardners.

I was there to visit my friend Keith Wilson who’s the promoter for the club and DJs there all the time, he also acts & models around Los Angeles.  I stayed there until about 1 a.m. and then headed over to this new spot called Bardot over on Vine up From Hollywood Blvd.  From what I heard about it from a few friends I saw at Moscow, it’s the hot spot on Wednesdays in Hollywood, celebrities are spotted there all the time.  It’s dark on the inside, and almost seems like a maze with it’s numerous hallways and low lighting — in other words I loved it.  My sister Natalie met up with me there and the rest of the night was just hectic electricity to say the least.

I got done early around 6 p.m. Thursday with shooting, which was amazing because earlier that day my friends in Neon Indian/Vega flew into L.A. for a show with Crystal Castles at the Siren Studio on Santa Monica Blvd. in Hollywood. When I got to the venue there was a line around the corner and the venue was already to capacity, 300 people.  Thank god I was on the list!  I walked in and straight into the dressing room to see Ronnie, Jason, Allen, & Leanne.  Crystal Castles shared the same dressing room with them, we basically all hung out and drank until they went on.  Once they started the electricity in the room was like a god damn transformer blew for a 10 block radius around us.  I saw more feet moving and heads swinging then a kiss concert on ecstasy, L.A. showed their dancing addiction that night.  I happen to get a bunch of really good shots of them but after the second song the venue made all of the photographers stop taking photos, too bad I got the ones I wanted!  I also happen to see a hamster cage device holding about 100 running hamsters on stage left, weirdest stage prop ever?!

When Crystal Castles finally took the stage after some quick drinkin’ and last minute shots the room was so noisy you had to literally yell into someone’s ear next to you ear talk.  They had a few strobe lights littered across the stage and drum set, and as soon as the music started the lead singer Alice Glass grabbed one of them near her, jammed it up her shirt, and started screaming the night away.  It was one of the best live shows I’ve seen in awhile, really, the energy was fire.  After the show we all hung out in the dressing room drinking and such until me and my friend Marisol decided we would head to my friends studio’s party going on downtown, Boxeight Studios.  Saosin, Eye Alaska, P.O.S., and InnerPartySystem and a few other bands were kicking off the Pacsun Tour there.  When we got there, the bands had already played but my friend Dirk Mai, a local photographer in L.A. that’s amazing, was still there, along with some of the bands and a huge crowd.  I actually got to take a pic of hang out with some of the guys from Saosin while I was there.  Sonny Moore or ‘Skrillex’, formally of From First To Last was there DJing, he’s currently working on a lot of solo stuff you all should definitely check out!

Last night in Denton was crazy good.  A lot of Dallas people made it out to Hailey’s for the Dallas vs. Denton DJ showdown.  Dallas triumphantly destroyed Denton.  After the show we headed down the street from Hailey’s to an afterparty that lasted all night.  I forgot the name of the band that was playing but they were dressed up in blood and masks and had a violinist which was badass.  Check out the rest of the shots from last night HERE
