The photos were amazing and if you were viewing them at the soiree...  You were either famous or wishing you were, just to have a self portrait shot by Tom Munro.

Some guest included Madonna, Dustin Hoffman, Justin Timberlake & Buzz Aldrin to name a few.

The exhibition continues through the 13th of March, at 8445 Melrose Place.  Proceeds go to Raising Malawi and M.E.A.K. with the purchase of one of Tom's photo books.

With a song... (uh hum, *clear throat)

If we took a holiday [we did]
Took some time to celebrate [NY fashion week]
Just one day out of life [more than 1 day]
It would be, it would be so nice [so nice]

Everybody spread the word [twitter]
We're gonna have a celebration [my bday]
All across the world [Olympics]
In every nation [NBC]
It's time for the good times [always]
Forget about the bad times, oh yeahNeverWood High crosswalk
One day to come together [facebook friends]
To release the pressure [open bar]
We need a holiday [at least twice a month]

...and that my friends is what happens when you leave school for seventeen days.  

But, were back now and ready to share are adventures with you.  Pick up your pen and paper and get ready to take notes.

Oscar season is just around the corner and Spring Break is a hop, skip and private plane away.

ZOMBIE NATION: DONT BE LEFT FOR DEAD

Zombie like ex-presidents doing Michael Jackson's famed Thriller danceSince today is October 1st and Halloween is just thirty days away.  I thought I would prepare the students of NeverWood High for any unexpected Zombie attacks, being that we are in Zombie season.  

Not to follow the footsteps of Josh Hartnett in the movie The Faculty where the teachers put weird slug slimy things in their students ears and mouths AND THEN try to eat them.  I would like the NWH class of '09 to live forever (but, not in a vampire way).  

Fashion week is over people, lets get real now!!!  We our living in a material world and we are all not material girls.  So, if you see a horde of drunk stumbling, hungry, wide eyed staring mob of "it girls" with a skeletal physic wearing really expensive made to look ripped clothing... Chances are they are not your typical model or socialite.  

They are ZOMBIES!  

I found this video below on youtube and thought I'd post it as a quick tutorial for those uncertain what to do when confronted by a Zombie.  

Watch and learn and don't be so quick to add them to your Blackberry bbm people.

P.S.  I cant wait to see Zombieland directed by Ruben Fleischer that hits theaters tomorrow!!!

THE EARLY SONG BIRD CATCHES THE EARWORM

Meet DJ Earworm (aka Jordan Roseman), a San Francisco based mashup artist. Basically, he takes a bunch of songs apart and puts them back together again in a different way. In 2008, he brilliantly edited and remixed 25 of the most popular tracks in the USA in one tune.

It's really shocking how pop music is nearly the same in some ways. Earworm's mashup titled "Viva La Pop", because it uses Coldplay's song Viva La Vida as the backing track - was such a great flashback of 2008 hit songs.

He also wrote a how-to manual for creating mashups in 2006 called Audio Mashup Construction Kit.

This dude is totally beyond genius and knows music so well to be able to do this. It's amazing that he can visually listen, watch and dissect these videos and turn them into his very own masterpiece. He's literally the Edward Scissorhands of mashups.

Here our a few more of DJ Earworm's mashups below and if you still cant get enough - check him out at his youtube.
