False Projections: Personal Fashion

In an attempt to try something different, which doesn't always work out, this was one of the times when I am not sure it did. We used my roommates projector to project a video I took on my iphone at a club one night on a wall and attempted to make a video of my self in front of the projection. We even added original music made by my friend DJ Miriam Rosas to the video. But it didn't really work out like we wanted to entirely. Mostly because we were just winging this huge process without much preparation and hoped it would turn out great. The final outcome wasn't bad, just not upto our standards so we decided to hold off on the video. In the meanwhile here are some of the glimpses from behind the scene.

While Sandy continues to make life slightly more difficult to resume work and blog, check out this super cute video my blogger BFF Jason made while of me during his last visit to NYC. This guy is a fab photog and an amazing person. You must check out his blog.

The kind of pure passion, excitement and orgasmic pleasure I feel about pushing creative boundaries and actually making it happen is something I hope everyone can feel and experience in some form or the other sometime in their life. Standing in the middle of Time Square on a Friday night with a sign that reads “Donations Accepted in the Name of Fashion” and seeing the reactions of hundreds and hundreds of people is overwhelming yet intensely satisfying from a performing art stand point. Doing anything different is imperative to keeping me interested in my own life. I know I am going to sleep with a smile on my face tonight. I hope Shraddha is too.
