Ripped-on-the-butt jeans...// 100% not ironic summer fashion pt.1

...and some other summer fashion advice to stay cool and cooool ;)
Chloe Sevigny looking fly, paying no mind that she's showing her bottom in a pair of jeans that are probably too comfortable to throw out. Jeans mainly fail in this specific area (see above)...why bother wasting your life-mainly summer life; the one that matters- mending clothes indoors (L-A-M-E).
I'm telling you, do as I say and let that warm breeze flow through. Keep it as classy as butt-ripped jeans can be with a white T and some flat docs or vans or whatever...without socks. Only one thing: probably not a good idea to ride a bike in these babies- yes, if you've got it flaunt it or whatever but leave a little to the imagination.

lit with skittles// thoughts on lighting

Harmony Korine wanted Spring Breakers to look as though it were "lit with skittles." Lights in clubs, lights from the city that cast onto motels and suburban homes, lights from the windows of stores and corner stores that gaze onto the people looking in, lights from a rock show that make the skin and hair of the musician change from blues to pinks...
Painters Jenny Morgan and Jen Mann paint their subjects in monochromatic hues that make them appear to be lit with colored bulbs. Casting colored light onto a subject- whether painted, filmed, photographed- captures the illusion of the skin becoming a reflective surface for the surrounding environment. Like diffusing a Manic Panic tint onto an image that makes skin appear to concisely consist of varying tints, shades, and saturations of one color.
