ART OF FLIGHT - MOVIE - Not enough to say it all........

Art of Flight - Movie

There is nothing else in the Winter Wonderland of Earth this upcoming season like "The Art of Flight." Red Bull has out done itself yet again. It's the largest budget on an extreme winter ever. The premieres have been sold out across the country. Aspen is no different this weekend at "The Meeting." The event has been sold out for weeks and private screenings have popped up around town. Along with the "who has it already" evenings in this little bosom in the mountains. 

The whole team is here this weekend and we will be at the event following the adventure. John Jackson takes back country to a whole new level. The antics and humor of Mark Landvik light up the film. Travis always comes correct with gigantic airs like only kids dream of....

Follow us tonight as we cover the event at the Wheeler Opera House. It is something you should see, the power of Human beings is taken to a new realm in this winter dynamo!!!

Voleurz - Clothing - Keeping the Winter Gatsby.......

Voleurz

The name has a story like many brands of it kind:

"In the French language, the word Voleur means “light-fingered“ and “thief“. This is purely coincidental. A French dictionary, being very commonplace here in bilingual Canada, happened to randomly open on the page where the word Voleur staked its claim. Had we known the profound impact this word would eventually have in our lives then perhaps we would have spent more time contemplating it‘s underlying connotations and meanings. But how could we change something that so perfectly represents a purely spontaneous action, something that speaks more about the founders than the word and its meanings ever could."

They bring the touches of the winter to the styles of today. Their fabrics are heavy weight. Their stitching lasts. And for us, they bring the lifestyle of the Voleurz to the forefront. Their clothing, videos, and parties all are Grimy Gatsby. Their new Movie "That's Fine" will be playing all over this winter in a Pow Town near you.

Follow us tonight for their new Movie "That's Fine" from the Sundeck on Ajax Mountain. We'll be in the Grime from Gondola to After Party. Pictures, Videos, Interviews, and most of all.......the Parties. 

Voleurz is nothing but Gatsby.....from the Canucks!!!!!

Black Milk Clothing - Women's Fashion - FWNY STAFF PICK!!!!!!!

Black Milk Clothing

As a self taught seamstress, James Lillis, started Black Milk in 2009. It all started with a shirt...then some leggings....then some other products. It has all come to a great point with their swimsuits, leggings, and skirts. I have seen some of the most "cutting edge" images on their items. And I have seen some of the most "cutting edge" women in their clothing. NYC and LA are littered with Black Milk. The strips of the foreign beaches all have their suits on - from Bora Bora to Ibiza Black Milk is the choice of the GATSBY!!!!!!

Gameboys never looked so appealing......

"We've come a long way since those early days sewing leggings at midnight on the kitchen table. We've sold thousands of pairs of leggings all over the world. We've been featured in numerous magazines, newspapers and blogs from the local paper to Vogue. Best of all, Black Milk has now got a reputation as one of the most exciting designer leggings labels in the world."
-James Lillis

Yes, that is Steve Buschemi.......

GoPro Hero - Product - Film making for the Gatsby

GoPro

 If you are already in our world, than you may know about the GoPro Hero. The GoPro Hero HD is the world's highest performance wearable 1080hd video and photo camera. This camera shoots in 1080/960/720p HD resolutions and record at 30 and 60 frames per second. It can hold as much as a 32gb SD card. It shoots with a fish eye lens to give a real perspective. In addition to HD video it also shoots 5mp still photographs. The helmet camera mount option includes a headlamp style head strap. The chest mount is one of our favorites for the winter skiing. The handlebar mount works well with bikes and motorcycles. It also comes with two curved and two flat adhesive mounts for attaching gear, vehicles or whatever you can dream up. We have seen them on surf boards, helmets, skis, paddle boards, bikes, cars, paragliders, and of course.....the lovely tourists. This camera is waterproof to 180'. It's polycarbonate housing it super tough and protects it from rocks and other hazards. We have seen these little guys go through battles in the Rocky Mtns. If it can survive here then it can take on any environment.

There's nothing better than shredding with your crew all day and getting to go back to the spot and review that killer powder day you just had, or the crash that your friend had. It is great at events to capture the "live" feeling ad atmosphere. The microphone works very well. We have used them at Red Rocks, the Belly Up - Aspen, and Cervantes' - Denver. They are easy to carry, have a great battery life, and come with a variety of accessories. 

You should really check them out on Facebook

Capture all your Grime and Gatsby on HD!!!!!

Todd Williamson - Artist - Aria Hotel Salon "Prive" for High Roller's

Todd Williamson - Artist

Met up with Los Angeles based designer Todd Williamson who spoke with us about the upcoming trends in the art community and the diverse involvement with businesses now acting as functional art galleries. It has been scene in any major city or resort area. The local's art and commissioned art hangs all over the walls. In fact, there are some art galleries that are renting space for offices within themselves in NYC and LA. It is true living interaction of urban development in space and networking. Todd Williamson has commissioned art in many high end businesses throughout the world (Houston, Tokyo, Los Angeles, Rome, Seoul, Miami, Shanghai, and Naples to drop a few).  Todd has two commissioned pieces on display in the lavish High Roller Salon "PRIVE" located in the Aria Casino.  His work is uniquely simple with a grand impact on color.  

Todd's art is a great accent to this suite in Salon 'Prive'

The salon caters to the High Rollers in the casino and their ladies for the "sunlight love" of Vegas. It is a decadent spot for anyone to relax for the day of gambling, mani's, pedi's, and customer service of royalty with Aria Casino & Resort. 

The art and the table dance within the stacks of chips

The entrance to 'Prive'

Todd's skill and art have graced many places all over the globe. His touch is exquisite and his eye for "flow" and "grace" are a refined skill of masters. Check out his upcoming shows, events, and gatherings.

Fashion Week

New York

"RECAP"

This year we were unable to attend FWNY because of prior engagements in the Rocky Mountains. But we were able to ask for some help from our friends at WanderLust (Emily, Abigail, and Scott). They were at many many shows and have plenty on their site. And as usual they have more coming in the way of "hottest fashion from the Big Apple wrapped in houndstooth for Fall."

Here are some lines that we were able to see, hear about, and inquire.

Zeal Optics Transcend GPS Goggles - Products - Robocop meets Gatsby & Grimey

Remember when Terminator sizes up the window with his "robot eyes" before, "I'll be back." Remember when Robocop walks down the street and can zoom, find distance, and speed? Now you can have this instant information at your eyelids too. Zeal Optics has unleashed the next best thing since GoPro. Recon Instruments and Zeal Optics have teamed up to bring this Transcend GPS ski goggle. It includes an LCD display screen on the INSIDE of the goggle that projects a dashboard. The dashboard logs speed, altitude, distance, time, stopwatch, chrono modes, and temperature. It really does bring a new meaning to "smart" and "winter sports."  The dashboard is controlled by "glove friendly" buttons that are on the frame. There is a USB port for the goggle to upload your journey to your computer. They weigh 257 grams (so don't get worried about back country gear weighing "too much") and includes a rechargeable battery that lasts for 7 hours. There are two models available that include "top of the line" Zeal optic lenses. Polarized is $499, which uses the "changing" lenses from dark rose to yellow depending on the environment. For $399, you can get a set with the standard polarized lens. If you are the techie in the group, the fastest skier, the biggest hucker or the longest back tripper on the planet; these are goggles to take you to the next level. 

If you have seen or used the Zeal Optic "Transcend" please drop us a comment. We would love to know your feedback. They come out next month!!!!!!

Check out this video on how to set it up.

Something for the futuristic Gatsby's

LivAspen - Local treasures for the Gatsby and Grimey.....

LivAspen Art

I went to the "Local's Visual" last night at LivAspen on the "walking mall" in downtown Aspen. It was a great Fall evening of cool breezes, cobblestone, and artistic chatter. The people filled the gallery and were enjoying the beverages, food, artists, and their pieces. The studio is a great addition to the environment. Near the new Red Onion, they had music flowing through the event with family, friends, collectors, local's, and critics. It was a blessed evening with great vibes from those home from Burningman to those talking about their time shares in the Hampton's. Eclectic Aspen never comes up short for the Gatsby!!

You can contact them and also should follow them on Facebook. 

Their outlook on the Future is Bright like the Sunrise over Aspen. 

"Sleep" 120"x73", Inkjet on Vinyl, AP, $5000
Cooper Holowski

Cooper Holowski, of Detroit, brought this piece for the gallery. Great piece for any office or large room. "I endeavor to relate the narrative of machines and investigate the unseen structures that support global economy and enables us to comfortably autopilot through our daily routines, faith, and pensions intact," He puts it so elegantly and in-tune. 

"Megatron", 42"x72", Acrylic on Double Canvas, 2011, $5000
Mark Brendon Smith

Mark Brendon Smith, of New Zealand, takes people on a "visual journey combining graphics, layers of canvas, ancient cutting techniques, and color." He's touch on art is great for interaction. The 3-D effect of the canvas and also the colors that are used. I have seen many of his pieces in town and at his studio. His eye on modern art and contemporary touches is exquisite. 

"Dimensional Mind Trap" 06-2010, 33 1/2"x27 1/2", Cut paper and
plexi-glass with Oak Frame, $4500
Mike Milota

Mike Milota, of Omaha, NE, says, "my art was an escape from my daily stress. I spend hours lost in each piece." Quantumola is his art-form. It is formed by multiple layer of cuts and escapes into a release of life and art. Mike is a great friend, yoga instructor, and father to 3. He hand is steady and his soul is soft. 

The back room was filled with food & drinks for all.
Great turn out for this event and Great art!!!

More great exhibits from the show

"The Distance of Existaence", 2011, Concrete casts with acid stains, $400/each (3 total)
Skye Weinglass

Skye Weinglass, of Aspen, shows us great use of materials and also the "voyage and the landscape in which it takes place. My work is a narrative pertaining to my mental and physical progression." Her artwork is vast in mediums and also in inspiration. It was great to see her home from Burningman and to hear of the extremely soulful journey of her and the tribe. 

Art is always in the arsenal!!!!!

Clint Bearden Studio - Artist - Putting Gatsby together one piece at a time

Clint Bearden Studio

"I am interested in the iconography found in ancient cultures, myths and folklore. I am struck by how much of this imagery crosses barriers. I also draw inspiration from my own 'magical thinking'," is how Clint explains his true soul and thoughts on his art. Something to think about in today's life of television, computers, and advertisements. How do we truly find something that is "unique, fresh, and sticky?" It's hard to come across beauty and design like Clint Bearden. We were turned onto Clint and his artwork from our LA offices. His artwork makes you stop and look at the details; to comprehend the entire image. Take a look at his website or blog. 

He has been in art direction and creative support for some of the today's biggest names:

Bombay Sapphire Gin

Coca-Cola Company

Habiquad International

Atlanta Opera 

Dallas Theater Center

Stanley Ellis Inc. (Interior Design)

Todd Bienz Design (Interior Design Projects)

You can see his art in the Ritz-Carlton - Atlanta. If you collect art, go to art galleries, are looking for that killer piece for your office, or just admire the talent of artists around the world. Clint is something not to miss. His style of taste, touch, and design is astounding. 

Commission Clint for your piece NOW!!!!!

Stars & Strikes Celebrity Event - San Diego - Gatsby charity from the Stars!!!!

Stars & Strikes Tickets

"Join the Indigo Village Educational Foundation for an evening of fun, food, silent auction & celebration on September 15th, 2011 for the 1st Annual Stars and Strikes Celebrity Night at East Village Tavern & Bowl. There are several opportunities to participate in this incredible event. Celebrities include: Luke Walton, Richard Jefferson, Lamar Odom, Kevin Towers, Chainsaw from the DSC morning show, Steve Finley, Mark Grace, Chris Dudley, Jeff Garcia, Jeff and Jer Showgram, and many more!"

It's weird how the universe has a way of saying "Hello." I ran a club about two blocks away from the East Village Tavern & Bowl when it opened. I used to go there to get away from the music and eat some wings and watch the 50 million TV's they have. I also was around when it started to have evening bowls and events. Great Place!!!

I met Susie Walton years ago in San Diego as my mother was on retreat staying at her house in Del Mar. I was always happy to converse and speak about healing, life, and the continued views of the world today. Susie is a breath of fresh air to her environment no doubt. She is caring, heart filled, and most of all putting people together to help each other. 

I went to a "White Party" in Rancho Santa Fe about 6 years ago at Luke and RJ's residence. It was a great time with unbelievable music and people. Everyone in white; everyone having a blast. Luke and RJ were great hosts and now they will be at this event this week. 

These stories all fit together because Susie is holding an event " Stars & Strikes" with Luke, RJ, and Lamar at the East Village Tavern & Bowl. That's a crazy set of 6 degrees of separation but the universe works like that sometimes.

Josh Tankersley - HEALTH - Bodywork of "Kane" for the Gatsby!!

Joshua Kane Tankersley

I met Josh as a senior in high school. I was visiting a University that I later attended. I spent college with Josh as a teammate and friend. I reconnected with him later when he came to San Diego to see what the SoCal life was like......He had just finished playing professional lacrosse at the time. I was working as a club promoter and talent scout in downtown San Diego when I decided to see where on "earth" he had landed. He called me back the same day and we talked about Aspen. Really the only reason I came to Aspen was that Josh got me a job that I could "ski every day and chill all season." It seemed magical from the hustle of downtown meetings, late night at clubs, the year-round sun, and the intense "go-go-go." I enjoy the Yin and Yang of both now but Aspen seemed like some place I should see.

I have been in Aspen for 5 years now and have never once doubted its "chi." Josh has taught me many things over the years. Yoga, Health, Nutrition, Modeling, Relaxation, and most of all humbleness. Josh and I have friends that come and go, from yogis to tattoo artists, and we all embrace the lifestyle and the scene here in Aspen. Josh works on Highlands Mtn and also is an avid outdoors man. "Less Salt & Sugar" is what he laughs at me when I lag behind him on hike up Highlands or Sunnyside trail. When we go shoot at the high school....."Go Raw!! That's why you can shoot like me yet," with a smile and slight giggle. Over the past decade Josh has expanded his knowledge to Body Work....tissue manipulation as I was described yesterday. I have been "hunched" over a computer for the past month with our website, clothing line, events, traveling, daily "to do's", and all other stresses of life. Josh graced me with some "work" yesterday that opened my shoulders and allowed my head to feel "normal" again. Along with some words of knowledge..."You should eat things that are alive...raw. Your alive and raw." I had carrots and some juice for dinner since I was struck to the core. 

"By experiencing 'what's happening now' you will achieve relaxation"
-Josh 

Josh helps out people from Aspen to Carbondale and has been known to have "group meetings" and will travel for "destination work," if necessary. He is very in-tune with his skill and also with other's needs to feel "aligned, centered, based, solid, and comfortable."  He has been steeped in tantric yatha yoga philosophies. He truly believes that through the experience at that present moment you can find relaxation in any form and follow that through your daily routine with yoga, body work, and nutritional guidance. And I have found that it's true. When I am practicing daily, eating right, and getting my body work done for specific needs.....I am unstoppable...much like ski season. Josh has really helped me harness that part of my day, week, month, winter, year.

I usually go and see Josh but he does "in-house" visits too. Plus you can schedule with him in advance or for your next trip or visitor. He is professional and charming. He was featured in Aspen Magazine - Aspen Most Wanted just this past summer. I attended the party for the Magazine. It was a huge gala at the base of Ajax mtn. 

How we stay feeling Grimey and Gatsby like Yin and Yang 

Samsung mv800 - Product - Camera for the Grimey and Gatsby!!!!

Samsung MV800 - MULTI VIEW

The Samsung mv800 was introduced to us a few days ago and we had to see what's going on in the land of "fantasy cameras and unicorns"......as the email was titled. We found that this thing might just be the real deal for the "on the go, where's the next party, this is my life not yours" person.....and that could be yourself, its OK. Its a compact digital camera; so its sleek enough to throw in your jeans without having to worry about the "bulge."  The 16.1 mega pixels and 5X zoom come with an LCD screen that panoramic shots with such ease (GROUND BREAKING).  It let's you add effects right on the screen and has "on the spot" photo editor. No need to upload to "fix" your red eyes, hungover complexion, or people in the back ground.  It takes 3D pictures.......YES 3D PICTURES....and also has an HDMI connect so you can "Plug n' Play" on the TV when you get home. Our favorite touch is the built in "zoom noise reduction" and the ability to capture HD videos so you can keep viewing Red Rocks, the Belly Up, your Birthday, kid's party, or just another weekend of debauchery.  

Great Film from the streets of Berlin from Techo Buffalo:
