Ah, here we go again—19 years of Richmond's Zombie Walk, where folks shuffle around like it's the morning after a bad decision. Yeah, this parade of the undead has been creeping through Carytown for almost two decades now, and somehow, it's still got more life in it...
Are you tired of seeing light pink, cap-sleeved t-shirts that say random positive words like "hope," "peace," "love," or my personal favorite, "joy," in consistently disgusting typography and design? Do you ever/often feel the urge to tell people that you hate them, you don’t want to talk to them, you don’t want to look at them and/or you don’t...
Some fabrics are versatile. Others can quickly leap from fashionable to unsightly depending on the garment. One of the least forgiving fabrics on the market is denim. If you're paying attention to recent trends, denim is making a resurgence in many more places than jeans. The denim jacket is a risky move, but if done right it can come off pretty...
FEAST RVA is a not for profit community driven project to democratically fund the work of local creatives. FEAST (Funding Emerging Art with Sustainable Tactics) began in Brooklyn, New York as an organization that believed creative work should not have to rely solely on the support of exclusive, private capital. And now, the brand new RVA branch...
HEY. Guys. Remember in my last post when I said that sometimes I won’t make fun of anyone at all? This is not one of those days. Remember how I said that if I ever make fun of you, I’m only joking? Well, I lied. At least in this case. Because if I ever, EVER catch any of my male friends, or any male stranger, for that matter, in the horrifying...
I really get psyched about people that have passion. Honestly, it can be for anything. I don’t care if you’re into collecting stamps--as long as you know your stuff and have a good collection to back it, I’m sold. Kate Jennings seamlessly balances a few different passions, from teaching, to photography, to running her own online clothing store,...
Bruised, bloody and beaten: these were a few words that came to mind when I first saw Julia Scott’s work. While doing some research on local design group Yours Truly, of which Julia was a member, I came across a few posters and illustrations she had done. I felt a little uncomfortable about the violent and abusive feelings that I got from her...

She draws inspiration from works of literature as disparate as cyberpunk science fiction and biographies of historical figures, as well as from her favorite haunts around the city. Recently graduated from VCU, she’s already had her work shown at...
Support the troops doesn't mean try to dress like them. What's the first thing American soldiers do when they get home? Change their fucking clothes. You see, most rational human beings realize that camouflage has a solely utilitarian purpose, and it would look ridiculous to wear it around in public. And using AK-47s, brass knuckles, hand...
…so basically, it’s not really like summer camp at all. Unless the summer camp you used to attend included copious amounts of cheap beer and naked ladies. Also file under the copious-amounts-of category: Ray-Bans and Ray-Ban knock-offs, short-shorts, camel-toes, really creepy moustaches, paint, cigarettes, tattoos and generally bad life...
