313FAD, Detroit's Fashion Movement

I was busy posting items on 313FAD, modifying the interface a bit, and updating the software this morning. This is going to be a busy afternoon with a fashion focus into the evening. While the Detroit Docs Film Festival is wrapping up today, there simply isn't time to put that into my day. The closing party is at 1515 Broadway and begins at 7pm. I'll be around the Cultural Center at that time.

My original plans were to be working around the film RAISED ALONE, however the recently published shoot schedule doesn't have me on set this weekend.

My plans are:

  • Completion of a CD of photos for a client to be delivered this afternoon
  • Website design work
  • Catwalk 08, a benefit fashion show with donations to HIV/AIDS awareness and treatment. The 7th annual Catwalk show is presented by Rodney Howell, Hairshion and Silver Lining Management. Several models I have worked with will be walking and designers whom I've shot their shows will be present as well. Check the post on 313FAD.com.
  • The Black Party being held at the Detroit Historical Museum hosted by Mr CHicks. I know Gina has been gathering talent to appear in that show for the past month.
So I'll be out visiting the Cultural Center around 4pm, checking into what is going on with various fashion talent I know.

Why T. Boone Pickens' 'Clean Energy' Plan Is a Ponzi Scheme

Well written article that digs into the personal motives behind this plan which has an oh-so-good sound. Wind produced electric sounds great. Switching vehicles to another fossil fuel is just a "shell game" as the article puts it.
