Just Hanging

Friday, February 3rd, 2012

Buenos Aires based artist, Leandro Erlich’s installation called Bâtiment that is now on display in Paris looks like an amazing work to see and interact with! It is a gigantic mirror that reflects a house which gives visitors the illusion that they can hang off ledges and defy gravity!

Fairy Godmother Project Dress Drive

Wednesday, February 1st, 2012

We are hosting two dress drives in February for the Fairy Godmother Project! You are able to drop off your donations from Feb. 1 to Feb. 14, 2012 at our River Oaks studio (1945 West Gray, Houston, TX  77019) and from Feb. 14 to Feb. 29, 2012 at our new Energy Corridor studio (1560 Eldridge Pkwy., Suite 152, Houston, TX  77057).

The Fairy Godmother Project of Houston was started in 2000 as a grass roots organization to help students in the Houston area who cannot afford to purchase a prom dress or tux. Each year we provide hundreds of students in the Houston area with free prom and graduation dresses and tuxedos. Volunteers assist students during the annual shopping day by helping them select one prom dress and two other dresses for graduation or other special occassions.The “personal shoppers” also help students choose jewelry, shoes, purses and cosmetics for their prom.

Prom is a tradiational event for American high school students. Every student should have the opportunity to attend prom regardless of their personal or financial background.

Friday, January 27th, 2012


You’ve probably thought about changing your diet to incorporate more foods that are better for you and less that aren’t so good, but have you ever thought about becoming a vegetarian? Or even vegan? If you’re interested in health and food, get vegucated and watch GetVegucated!

Part sociological experiment and part adventure comedy, Vegucated is a award-winning documentary that follows three meat- and cheese-loving New Yorkers from different backgrounds who, for six weeks, adopt a vegan diet and a whole new way of thinking about food.

Farmhouse Delivery

Friday, January 20th, 2012

If you haven’t heard yet, Houston has a new local, organic food source, Farmhouse Delivery! And best news yet, they will deliver to your door!   Co-founded in Austin in 2009 by Stephanie Scherzer and Elizabeth Winslow. “We wanted to encourage people to connect with each other and with their community through food,” says Winslow, a chef and former restaurateur.

Farmhouse Delivery Farm Members enjoy weekly or bi-weekly bushels of local fruits and vegetables – delivered to their home or office – and have the option of ordering additional locally sourced food (e.g. organic eggs, meat, dairy products, bread and artisanal cheese). Unlike traditional Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) programs, Farmhouse Delivery sources its food from many farms, guaranteeing that each bushel contains a unique assortment of the freshest local produce. Each order also includes recipes and storage and cooking tips, making meal planning easy as pie (there might even be a recipe for pie).

Farmhouse Delivery sources food from ten to fifteen local farms as well as local food artisans. Though the farms vary in size from a couple of acres, to a large farm on fifty acres, each shares a commitment to organic, humane and sustainable farming practices. Most of their farms are within 200 miles of Houston.

Shut Up and Play The Hits

Thursday, January 12th, 2012

On April 2nd 2011, LCD Soundsystem played its final show at Madison Square Garden. LCD frontman James Murphy had made the conscious decision to disband one of the most celebrated and influential bands of its generation at the peak of its popularity, ensuring that the band would go out on top with the biggest and most ambitious concert of its career. The instantly sold out, near four-hour extravaganza did just that, moving the thousands in attendance to tears of joy and grief, with NEW YORK magazine calling the event “a marvel of pure craft” and TIME magazine lamenting “we may never dance again.” SHUT UP AND PLAY THE HITS is both a narrative film documenting this once in a life time performance and an intimate portrait of James Murphy as he navigates the lead-up to the show, the day after, and the personal and professional ramifications of his decision.
