Fotoshop by Adobé

This video is right on point timing wise, I was just talking with Sergio yesterday (the photographer from my shoot) about what images we’re going to use for my lookbook and how I want it to look.  We both like images to look as untouched as possible but also changing little things here and there to make certain angles pop.  It’s a really interesting side of photography for me and if I had the time I’d explore it further, in the mean time I’m leaving it up to the professionals…This video is a spoof of how to achieve flawless skin and sample size weight without calorie counting, thanks Refinery29 for the beauty tips…

Roman Candle Casting is seeking people to portray hipsters on the HBO show “How To Make It In America” starring Brian Greenberg, Victor Rasuk, Lake Bell, and Kid Cudi. So have you ever been called a hipster? Deny being one but own various wardrobe and sport a hairstyle that is considered non-mainstream.? Got any cool tattoos? Have a awesome beard or ironic mustache.? Have some cool vintage dresses? Did you make it to the LCD Soundsystem farewell show or desperately wanted to? If any of these things pertain to you, you’re probably just right for the show. Basically we are looking for some cool interesting types to feature on the episode. Looking for model types too.

When submitting please include some candid pictures along with the best phone # to reach you. Also include your availability next week. We are shooting 5/3, 5/4, 5/5, and 5/8. All scenes are specific so if we think you are right for the project we would place you accordingly. We will be shooting in Bushwick and the Lower East Side of Manhattan. If these dates don’t work for you there will be other opportunities throughout the season so feel free to submit.

Noooooooo

I found this on Refinery29‘s website, absolutely hysterical.  A loud resonating Nooooooooo comes after pressing a very satisfying big blue button. For all those times when you tip your drink on your keyboard, spill bleach on your new shorts or papercut yourself opening the mail…
