For a few months now I've been searching for a manageable interface that would allow me to have my website, portfolio, Tumblr, Twitter and Facebook accounts all in one place. It's a bit frustrating not having just one spot to point a person to when they ask me what I do. Normally I point them to this blog, but sometimes that isn't enough, especially when I'm searching for new freelancing opportunities. Potential employees don't always care about your opinion on celebrity antics and ass-less chaps. It's like a rat race trying to figure out which blog or website will give them the best answer as to who I am. It's very difficult. For example: Twitter is for me to catch up with friends and acquaintances. Tumblr is a mosh pit of photography and videos on my laptop I've accumulated over the years. This blog is for venting and talking massive amounts of garbage. My portfolio is probably the best example of the 'professional Dee', but she's boring and I don't bring her out unless it's absolutely necessary. See what I mean? Total clusterfuck.
My buddy Brian first introduced me to Flavors.me a couple of months ago, but it wasn't until a moment ago that I actually took the time to explore and check out their filmed demo. It's exactly what I need; one place to house all my crap so the next time someone asks for my blog, Twitter, Facebook, portfolio, etc, I'll be ready.
I'm pretty sure this collection is on every blog/website/Twitter and Facebook account catered even remotely to fashion. I'm a slow poke at posting this collection only because it's very hard for me to look at this final Alexander McQueen collection and fathom that someone this talented isn't with us anymore. Although won't be seeing his vision come to life on anymore runways, his past work speaks volumes to just what type of artist Lee Alexander McQueen was and will always be. I, for one, am pondering who could ever live up to, not only his standard of craftsmanship, but have the balls big enough to put artistry before trends, fashion before sales, and imagination before money.
I think it'll be fun to see someone try to live up to this.
Facebook, which I also like to refer to as: Stalkerbook, and Crackbook, has given us a look in their brand new office in Palo Alto California designed by San Francisco based Studio O+A. I thought Google had the best offices in the world, but Facebook seems to be giving them a run for their money. I'll take skylights, open spaces, turn tables, and skateboard ramps any day!
