Hasta La Motion!

Surfer girls get a generalized bad rap from the “true” bros for allegedly eating up all the good surf with too much falling down and not enough gnar shredding, but the new film Dear and Yonder should be the ultimate mush hand to the face for that tired outlook. From Indonesia to Mexico to SF; shit gets tore up by Stephanie Gilmour, Sally Fitzgibbons, Coco Ho, Silvana Lima, and Sofia Mulanovich. Check out the trailer HERE.

The thick, humid, NYC, summertime dumpster batter that is soaking us down from head to toe on the daily has created a longing lilt for the west. Yesterday we threw it up for Warriors of Radness’ beachy ‘tude and now we’re taking a spirit journey through psychedelic rock and sand with God’s Prey. What looks like Sean Reveron and Megan McRae’s tribute to Jodorowsky, Joshua Tree, and the epic peyote scene in Young Guns is better served to be thought of as a uniform to wear while postulating in a peyote haze on the edge of a cliff and calling your “horse” “dog”. We don’t know where to get it as of yet but we guarantee that our zipcar is going to look like it was time traveled in with a naked indian when we return it to the parking garage.

Oliverio Toscani was no stranger to controversy by the time he got the world in a huff with his provocative campaigns for United Colors of Bennetton. In fact, his work with copywriter Emanuelle Pirella many years before on Jesus Jeans led to a significantly more European fervor that was no less outrageous than his later work. At that time drawing parallels between religion and commerce – or exposing the hypocrisy of the two – by pairing reworked passages of the bible with vibrantly colored images of his girlfriend’s tanned butt cheeks overflowing out of …uhh…Jesus Jeans, was a lot for Europeans to handle. Needless to say, Jesus Jeans weren’t around for long, but this ad lives on as an iconic example of art meeting commerce. If only advertising would get this good again.
