TH ROYAL BLOG OLYMPICS
30 Jan
THE 305 BLOGSCENE IN 2015 IS UNRECOGNIZABLE FROM JUST 2 YEARS AGO. INSTAGRAM KILLED THE LAST FEW TUMBLRS THAT WERE STILL DOING THEIR THING. MUSES ARE REAL & WHEN THEY ARE GONE, THEY ARE GONE. SOUTH FLORIDA ISN’T LONDON OR LA. THOSE CITIES HAVE MULTIPLE MEDIA LISTING EVERY EVENT UNDER THE SUN. THE SCENE IS MUCH MORE EXCLUSIVE. YOU HAVE TO PAY TO PLAY. 💰💰💰
BLOGGING IS A MARATHON. WE LEFT OUR SOUTH BEACH STUDIOS, & RELOCATED TO THE HEART OF LITTLE HAVANA IN 2013. AROUND THAT TIME WE NOTICED THE OTHER BLOGS BEGINNING TO DIMINISH THEIR POST FREQUENCY, SO WE DECIDED TEST A TWELVE POST PER MONTH FORMAT, WHICH WE ADHERED TO FOR THE ENTIRETY OF 2014.
AT CENTRAL ST MARTINS JAMES KING LECTURED ON THE VALUE OF MICROBRANDING. SO WHEN WE GOT TO THE CITY, 924COLLECTIVE BEGAN AS ADVENTURE IN MICRO-BRANDING & INDEPENDENT JOURNALISM. UTILIZING FREE RESOURCES: WORDPRESS, SOUNDCLOUD, TWITTER, & STUMBLEUPON. WE HAD A FASCINATING CONVERSATION WITH DOMINGO CASTILLO ABOUT THE DIGITAL CULTURE SHIFT, WHERE EVERYONE IS PRODUCING FREE CONTENT. NEWS MEDIA NOW RELIES ON FOOTAGE SENT IN BY AMATEURS. COCA COLA USED TO SPEND MILLIONS ON AN ELABORATE CAMPAIGN, NOW THEY JUST RE-POST USER SUBMITTED CONTENT ON BILLBOARDS.
FLASH FORWARD TO 2014 WE SAW THE ARTLURKER WRITERS PRIZE & DEBATED ENTERING A PIECE, WITH THE “REWARD” OF $50 A POST RUN. CONSIDERING ANYTHING OVER 250 WORDS, IS EARNING LESS THAN MINIMUM WAGE. A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH REVEALS A 20C A WORD MINIMUM. SO THE PRIZE IN EFFECT IS PAYING 50% LESS FOR THE EXACT SAME WORK AS IF THEY HIRED A WRITER. THE PRIZE UNDERCUTTING THE VALUE OF THE WINNERS WRITING. WOWZA
AFTER GRADUATION WE WERE CONTACTED BY A JOURNALISM STUDENT, WHO HAD TO CREATE A MAGAZINE FOR HER MASTERS. LONG STORY SHORT, SHE DIDN’T HAVE THE SKILLS TO PUBLISH A MAGAZINE. IN EFFECT I WAS TAKING MY MFA FINAL EXAM WITHOUT SPENDING THE $60,000 TO GET IT. THIS WAS A PARADIGM COMING OUT OF ART SCHOOL. TOP CREATIVE COMPANIES WOULD HEADHUNT DEMANDING A MINIMUM 6-12 MONTH UNPAID INTERNSHIPS. AN UNPAID WORK VORTEX FOR PEOPLE WITH MFAS FROM THE ROYAL COLLEGE OF ART!?! A FRIEND CONFESSED TO WORKING INTENSE 14 HOUR WORKDAYS UNPAID DESIGNING MENSWEAR AT ALEXANDER MCQUEEN. SO EXPLOITATIVE LABOR IS ALIVE AND KICKING IN THE HEART OF THE CREATIVE WORLD, ITS JUST HOW YOU PACKAGE IT. 
COME THE DRAG OLYMPICS
29 Jan
FROM GLAMAZON, TO PUNK WARRIOR PRINCESS, ALL HAIL RUPAUL.
FROM HUMBLE BEGINNINGS, THE OLYMPICS OF DRAG CAME FORTH, & WITH EACH SEASON RUPAUL DEMANDED OF MORE, SINGING, ACTING, IMPROV, CREATIVITY, UNIQUENESS, NERVE, & TALENT, SO WATCHING MISS UNIVERSE, WE HAD TO MAKE A SHOUT OUT TO THE REAL QUEENS.
WATCHING MISS PUERTO RICO NINA FLOWERS GET SECOND PLACE IN SEASON 1 WAS THE BEGINNING OF A VERY DISTURBING TREND. OUR FAVORITE QUEEN WAS GOING TO GET 2ND PLACE EVERY SINGLE YEAR.
WE LOVE AN EDGY QUEEN, GIVING SEVERE LOOKS, PUNK ATTITUDE, & FAST WIT. NINA, RAVEN, MANILLA, ALASKA, & ADORE PERFORMERS PAR EXCELLENCE. CAN YOU SAY LOOKING SEVERE UP IN HERE?
ON TOP OF ALL THE VISUALS, YOU BETTER BE FUNNY HUNNY. WATCHING THESE CAMP ANTICS UNFOLD LEAVES US IN HYSTERICS, & THE GLAMOR GIRLS FALL BY THE WAYSIDE RATHER QUICKLY.
WATCHING ALASKA IMPERSONATIONS ON YOUTUBE ARE A GUILTY PLEASURE, HER GIA GUNN FASCINATION IS HILARIOUS & HER LAGANJA GAG IS NEXT LEVEL. WE LOVED ADORE LONG BEFORE SHE HIT THE DRAG RACE STAGE AS ANGEL BABY. ONE THING IS FOR SURE, WE ARE SURE GOING TO ENJOY MISS SECOND PLACE. X X X CALL ME GIRL
THE PAGEANT WAS PULLED
27 Jan
THE PUBLIC HAS SPOKEN. THE PAGEANT WAS OFFICIALLY PULLED. 
CAN AN INTERNATIONAL MODELING COMPETITION BE JUDGED BY AMERICAN BASED ENTERTAINERS? YES, FOR ZERO SUM CREDIBILITY.
THANKS TO A LITTLE HOLLYWOOD PAGEANT TEA, WE WERE UP TO SPEED ON ALL THE TRICKS & HI-JINX, THANKS TO ALYSSA EDWARDS.
DONALD TRUMP OWNS MISS UNIVERSE. IF YOU LOOK AT THE STAGED “PAGEANT” AS A 3 HOUR TIMESHARE PRESENTATION TO SELL UNBUILT LUXURY CONDOS IN DORAL. IT ALL STARTS TO MAKE TOTAL SENSE.
MR TRUMP GETS WHAT HE WANTS. SO WHEN HE SAID HE WOULD LIKE ANOTHER LATINA MISS UNIVERSE. HE IS GOING TO GET IT. IT IS GREAT FOR HIS BUSINESS IN SOUTH FLORIDA, IN THE SHORT & LONG TERM.
WHEN THE ENTIRE JUDGING PANEL IS MADE UP OF US BASED ENTERTAINERS: GIANCARLO STANTON, KRISTIN CAVALLARI, LOISE ROE, DESEAN JACKSON, ROB DYRDEK, LISA VANDERPUMP, NINA GARCIA, WILLIAM LEVY, EMILIO ESTEFAN, & MANNY PACQUIAO. IT WOULDN’T BE TOO DIFFICULT TO PULL AN INTERNATIONAL PAGEANT
SO AS THE FINALISTS WERE NARROWED FROM 88 TO 10, IT WAS CLEAR THE LATINAS WERE DOMINATING THE COMPETITION, ARGENTINA, BRAZIL, COLOMBIA, & VENEZUELA REPRESENTED IN THE FINALS.
EVEN MISS USA NIA SANCHEZ IS MEXICAN/GERMAN. ANOTHER SHOCKER WAS MISS NETHERLANDS WHO WAS CAGED FOR 12 HOURS. BRINGING AWARENESS TO CHILD PROSTITUTION AS HER PLATFORM.
MISS JAMAICA WAS SERVING US AUDREY HEPBURN MEETS HALE BERRY REALNESS & WAS CLEARLY THE PEOPLES MISS UNIVERSE. DAUGHTER OF OLYMPIC SWIMMERS DECLARED “I DON’T HAVE LONG TRESSES LIKE EVERYONE ELSE, BUT I AM REPRESENTING MYSELF. WHAT I SEE BEST. THAT IS WHAT A BEAUTY PAGEANT, BEAUTY IS OVERALL. THERE IS NO STANDARD LOOK TO ANYBODY. YOU DON’T HAVE TO LOOK A CERTAIN WAY TO BE IN THIS. I FEEL LIKE I REPRESENT THAT.”
WHEN #MISS JAMAICA, KACI FENNELL WAS NAMED 4TH RUNNER UP, THE CROWD CLEARLY WASN’T HAVING IT. NEITHER WAS TWITTER. KUDOS TO MISS COLOMBIA OFF TO RESIDE IN TRUMP TOWERS FOR A YEAR. THROWING A LITTLE BEAUTY PAGEANT MR TRUMP? X O X O
THE CHURCH OF REALNESS
26 Jan
FROM TIME TO TIME WE REVISIT THE PAST. BECAUSE HISTORY IS ONLY AS VALID AS THE HYPERLINK. SOMETIMES THE KNOWLEDGE DOESN’T HAVE TO BE UPDATED OR RE-PACKAGED.
WITCHES HAVE BEEN FEARED & HUNTED & WITH ANY OSTRACIZED CULTURE, IT GOES UNDERGROUND, ONLY TO BE RE-INTRODUCED & POPULARIZED AT THE CORRESPONDING TIME. THE SLOW OCCULT CREEP ISN’T FANTASY FICTION, IT IS A REALITY. OR IS IT JUST ANOTHER CONSPIRACY THEORY? IS EVERYONE A SLAVE OF THE ILLUMINATI?MISS KOOKEE DEALS WITH THE TOPIC IN TRUE FORM, ANALYZING TO SITUATION TO PERFECTION, BEFORE DISCARDING IT COMPLETELY.
A QUEEN BREAKS DOWN THE WHOLE CORPORATE BET VIACOM STRUCTURE TO EXPLAIN HOW THE WHOLE OPERATION. THE SHOWS, THE ENTERTAINERS, THE FASHIONS, THE AWARDS, THE RECIPIENTS. THE WHOLE RITUAL. REVEALING ALL THE TRICKS OF THE TRADE.
CULTURAL CONSCIOUSNESS, RELIGIOUS CONSCIOUSNESS, DIGITAL CONSCIOUSNESS, SUPREME CONSCIOUSNESS. PICK ONE, PICK THEM ALL.THE INTERNET GIVES US ACCESS TO IT ALL. EVERYTHING. BOMBARDMENT. DESIGNED TO BE TOO MUCH TO EVER PROCESS. CREATING LAWS AROUND IMAGERY. REPRESENTING ANCIENT ARCHE TYPES THROUGH ART/ FASHION / MUSIC / CULTURE / OCCULTURESO MANY PLAYERS CASTING SPELLS IT MUST BE SERIOUS BUSINESSIT IS A DECEPTION WHERE MEDIA ROYALTY BECOMES REAL ROYALTYYOU HAVE TO FIND HUMOR IN THE DARKNESS. WHEN GOSSIP BECOMES TEA, & TEA IS SEEN AS GOSSIP, THE FINE ART OF SINCERITY BECOMES A VALUABLE COMMODITY. ANYONE BRAVE ENOUGH TO DROP THEIR KNOWLEDGE ON THE FREELY ARE OUR INSPIRATIONAL HEROES X
REAL HOUSEWIVES OF 666!
23 Jan
LAST YEAR WE DID A POST CALLED TV MAGIC TRICKS. TO HIGHLIGHT THE MAGIC THAT GOES ON BEHIND THE SCENES, TO PRODUCE A DESIRABLE IMAGE. WHEN ANYTHING BUT DESIRABLE ACTIVITIES ARE HAPPENING. WE WERE SURPRISED TO SEE THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF BEVERLY HILLS & BLACK CHILD PRODUCTIONS COLLIDING ONLINE.
HAND SIGNS, COLOR CODING, & JEWEL PROGRAMMING ARE ALL WAYS OF COMMUNICATING INFORMATION TO THOSE “IN THE KNOW” SO WHEN YOU START TO PUT THEM ALL TOGETHER, YOU START TO SEE GLIMPSES OF A BIGGER PICTURE. OCCULT HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT THIS SLOW MO FOOTAGE ONLY SCRATCHES THE SURFACE OF WTF IS GOING ON. THE RICHARDS SISTERS TROUBLES STARTED BACK IN THEIR CHILD ACTRESS DAYS AT DISNEY. KIM RICHARDS WAS THE CHILD STAR OF HER DAY. RETURN FROM WITCH MOUNTAIN. (YOUTUBE THE SUBLIMINALS) THE OCCULT PLAYS A HUGE ROLE IN EVERYTHING THESE WOMEN PORTRAY ON TELEVISION. WHEN LISA VANDERPUMP MAKES JOKES ABOUT OFFERING YOUR FIRST BORN. SHE ISN’T JOKING
OVER THE COURSE OF THE SERIES KIM RICHARDS ALCOHOLISM BECAME PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE. BUT THIS WAS A COVER FOR WHAT WAS REALLY GOING ON. THE TRUE REASONS BEHIND THESE ADDICTIONS ARE NEVER ADDRESSED. RULE NUMBER ONE: BLAME IT ON THE ALCOHOL. THESE “ACTRESSES” ARE SURROUNDED BY ENABLERS & HANDLERS, WHO ARE JUST AS GUILTY AT KEEPING AN ADDICT BORDERLINE FUNCTIONAL FOR TV. LAST SEASON, KIM RICHARDS (ALMOST NON EXISTENT STORYLINE) REVOLVED AROUND HER DOG KINGSLEY, AND HER RECOVERY FROM ALCOHOL. BUT KIM ISN’T THE ONLY RICHARDS SISTER WITH SECRETS IN HER ACTING CLOSET.
KYLE OPENLY TELLS VIEWERS “WE WERE ALL IN” REFERRING TO THE CELEBRITY KABBALAH CIRCLE WITH MADONNA, ASHTON, DEMI, & FELLOW HOUSEWIFE LISA RINNA. . EVEN GOING AS FAR AS TO SAY MY KABBALAH TEACHER SAID “I MADE A BETTER DEMI, THAN DEMI” BACK WHEN HOLLYWOOD ILLUMINATI WAS STILL BROADCASTING, NICHOLAS WENT IN DEPTH ABOUT THE HOLLYWOOD KABALLAH CENTRE & WHAT WAS REALLY GOING ON THE CELEBRITY SIDE. KYLES HUSBAND MAURICIO UMANSKY IS NOW ONE OF THE TOP SELLING REAL ESTATE AGENT IN CALIFORNIA. THEY ARE MOVING ON UP IN THE WORLD.
ROLL ON SEASON 5, AND KIMS “ON SCREEN” SOBRIETY IS OUT THE WINDOW. WHAT YOU ARE ACTUALLY WATCHING IN KIM RICHARDS “SPINNING” ALTARS, WATCH CLOSELY AT BRANDI GLANVILLE (THE HANDLER) TELLING KIM TO “WE HAVE TO GET YOU GONE, GET YOU GONE, GET YOU GONE” WEARING THE SAME BLUE AS WE SAW IN KYLES VIDEO CLIP. YOU SEE KIM RICHARDS REVERTING TO A LITTLE GIRL, AND PERIODICALLY NOT REMEMBERING EVENTS FROM THE NIGHT. BECAUSE KIM RICHARDS WAS NOT IN THE DRIVERS SEAT. IT IS PURE EVIL TO PUT SOMEONE WHO IS IN RECOVERY UNDER SUCH AN INTENSE SPOTLIGHT, AND WATCHING THESE TV MAGIC TRICKS WERE ALMOST TOO MUCH TO WITNESS. SEEING BLACKCHILD RESPONDING TO THE SAME MATERIAL SEEMED POIGNANT TO ADDRESS THE SITUATION.
ANALYZING THE POKER NIGHT FROM HELL. KIM RICHARDS AND BRANDI GLANVILLE ARE TWO PEAS IN A POD, READ BETWEEN THE LINES AND YOU SEE THE CLASSIC EXAMPLES OF CHILDHOOD RITUAL ABUSE. KIM RICHARDS EVEN SAYS” I NEVER LEARNED HOW TO RIDE A HORSE, I WAS RIDING DISNEY HORSES.” IT CAN’T BE LAID OUT ANY MORE BLUNTLY OR VIVIDLY. A SIMILAR STORY HAPPENED TO JODI FOSTER ON THE DISNEY SET OF NAPOLEON & SAMANTHA, INVOLVING A LION. BRANDI GLANVILLE TOLD THE CAMERAS HER FATHER USED TO TAKE HER TO BARS AS A MINOR, “TO KEEP THE LIGHTS ON”. SO THE TWO HAVE OBVIOUSLY BONDED OVER THEIR SHARED SKELETONS OFF CAMERA, THE DEMONS THAT NEVER SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY. WELCOME TO THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF OZ ( THE LAND DOWN UNDER ).
