Paint & Poetry vol.2 Presented by MOJO DISCO

Last month I attended a event presented by Mojo Disco entitled "Paint & Poetry". (Check out post HERE)

I only had good things to say and for the second round of Paint & Poetry, my opinions did not change. If anything the second round was even better. So much more people came out causing a full room. Even the staircase was fully occupied. Everyone who stepped up and showcased a poem or song did their thing. Make sure you look through all the pictures featured below, some videos of the night are linked as well, so check them out. If you're in the NYC area come stay posted for the next month's Paint & Poetry

Singer Brittany C. had the crowd moving as you can see in the photo below.

M∆DE:IN:HEIGHTS || APORIA: IN THESE §TREETS

Some of their songs off the album.

Oh how much I love the roaming the internet, clicking & stumbling upon such amazing information, people, events, and best of all, Music. Visiting one of my favorite blogs, the first song that began to play on their playlist was a song by this amazing musical duo ::M∆DE:IN:HEIGHTS:: entitled Marguerite. Hearing one great song I had to check out more of their stuff and disappointed, I was not. ::M∆DE:IN:HEIGHTS:: music with instrumentals alone is just beautiful and intriguing. This music is the kind of music that makes me smile when things in my life isn't going to best but can take me away from all negative thoughts.

KleinFeld Bridal Presents Bridal Contest Winners

A few weeks ago my fashion design class and I was presented with a bridal design contest and an amazing opportunity by our fashion design teacher and Mara Urshel the president and owner of the famous bridal store Kleinfeld, home of TLC's TV show Say Yes to the Dress. We were instructed to design the dress of the future and five winners would be chosen. The day the winners were to be announced arrived and my classmates and I were anxious and nervous as ever. I wanted to win so badly but sadly I didn't, but 4 out of five of the winners I sit at the same table with everyday in class which was actually a very funny and odd turnout. Here are some photographs of the day and pictures of the winners. Click Here to check out the post on my class and I first visit to Kleinfeld. -sabla.

A Peak at Some of My Artwork.

I haven't shared a lot of things that I have created, here on GoldenSense a part from my post A Queen. So I decided to share this photograph that I shot a few weeks ago while in the process of finishing my artwork for Parsons The New School "Parsons Challenge." Hopefully I get an acceptance letter because I've been dying to go to that school since my middle school days. I may post up the finished products of all 3 artworks and maybe some other art pieces of mine. Hopefully you like, leave a comment and tell me what you think :) -sabla  ♥

NYFW |x| Jason Wu Fall '12 Ready To Wear

Photo Source (HERE)

Can Jason Wu do greater? I had the pleasure of being in the presence of Jason Wu to hear him speak at Teen Vogue Fashion U back in October. I just got home from the Academy of Art University fashion show and is just NYFW Love drunk at the moment, so I paid a visit to Style.com to check out shows that I did not have the chance to see and I came across Wu's Ready To Wear Collection. I LOVE this collection so much, I want to wear everything so badly. I'm a sucker for collars and Jason Wu brought collars to life with this collection. The collection was very militaristic, and had a menswear flare for the females, It's also clear that Wu was inspired his Chinese / Taiwanese culture.

BK College Slam Team Open Mic

On Feb 2nd I had the pleasure of attending another Poetry event presented by The Brooklyn College Slam Team with special guest Marshall Soulful Jones who has been featured here on GoldenSense before as the Host of RipMC's Rap sessions. Every member of the Brooklyn Slam Team did amazing, poet Joel nearly made me cry with his poem on the topic of Cancer. But, when Marshall stepped on the stage he shut it down, I have yet to witness someone be able to capture an audience so intensely, the amount of emotion that you feel and hear Marshall give out is all honesty and just shows how he has mastered his art. Click Here and Here for the two amazing poems that he performed this night.

Paint & Poetry presented by MOJO DISCO

A room full of artist of all dimensions came together on the 28th of January in Brooklyn, NY to enjoy music, poetry, dancing, and art. Despite the fact that I came 3 hours late -_- due to personal reasons and a screwed up Public Transit I managed to shoot some great photos of the night and enjoyed being surrounded by familiar faces.

Style Spotted |x| vol 2. Spring Street

Being a NYC Public School kid you get the luxury of missing school during "regents week." Last week on Wednesday while on line for a job interview in Soho I was standing behind a female with such great style. A few long minutes waiting on line later and a sparked up conversation between her and I, after our interview I asked for her photograph to feature here on GoldenSense. Her name is Brianna F., outside waiting for her was her, also very stylish Boyfriend Chris A., so.. I got a photo of the cute couple together.

Music Video |x| Jesse Boykins III "Zoner"

Another Jesse Boykins III feature.

Directed By Dr. Woo

I'm very shocked that I've managed to continue to delay this post for so long. Jesse Boykins III is one of my favorite singers and have been mentioned and featured here on GoldenSense numerous time. The fact that I am now posting this video is insane because I hopped on it the first day it was released. 

The Concept: There is a misconception when one is lost in themselves because society can miss the truth behind it. This video is a pure introduction to Jesse Boykins III's soul and takes a piece of his mind and displays it for the world to be a part of. There is the reality of being alone, but also the desire to lust for something that inspires and assists the creation of beauty, a Zoner. - JB3
If only you understood how much I appreciate and completely feel the same exact way with what was said above. -sabla`
