The music and fashion have long provided people with important means of self-expression. A new company called i/denti/tee, conceived and launched by non-traditional-agency-like-object Anomoly, aims to aims to monetize the space where music and fashion meet.

I know

I save hundreds of dollars every month with my bargain hunting techniques. With the economy doing poorly I thought it was time to write a post outlining what I think are the 10 rules to follow to save money not just on Christmas gifts but on other purchases throughout the year. Kipp’s 10 Commandments of Bargain Shopping 1. Never

I'm just going to have to start writing and see where it takes me. It has been 14 days and I know I have done a whole lot. Maybe I should write a list. Took a picture of myself where I should not have but I had to, it was too cool, a room tiled with mirrors. . . I've got 10 people in my class on January 1oth. How did that happen?

Protect Yourself! I know this is a completely out-of-the-ordinary post for me, seeing this is primarily a food blog, but I really wanted to share this article with you BEFORE you start shopping for holiday gift cards.
