PICS
I wish you all peace & love (call me a hippie; I'll say, "whatever") and overwhelming JOY in 20*13*!
Don't forget our dead; they fought for our lives...the out LGBT youth, the sex workers fighting for everybody's rights by standing up for their own, often in bleak conditions, the soldiers who feel conned and stuck, and perhaps someone you know and even love.
Have faith (loaded word, I know) in the impossible while nurturing your limitations so that you may open the ways to transcension.
We'll appreciate what we have and think about what others haven't due to the injustice that caused oppressive distribution - then make a change where we can, examining our privilege while nurturing our challenges so that we may grow strong.
I wish we could get out of this "spin cycle," and a wish can turn to action with enough motivation. Human drama can fall away and leave the bare essence of us to activate change and show a path that had been obscured.
Celebrate this incipient Gregorian year with appropriate introspection while extending a hand to those who are lonely, ill, or feeling unloved.
And blessed be. ♥

Happy Solstice and "end of the world!" 
Here are some more shots from the Project Runway shoot (these are not Project Runway pieces, though - a couple of those are in the last entry and the designers were fortunately happy with the results). They're some Versace, Louboutin and Black Milk items we shot afterward.

One of my bands, STARCHASM, and the solo project of my bandmate, Mitsuo Unno from Japan, will be the features for the following Soundspace radio show - right in time for the apocalypse!

Project Runway dress shoot! A couple pics of me modeling 2 of the designers' recycled dresses.
One contestant came out in the bottom of the "Waste Not" challenge, the other on top.
^by Jeffrey Sebelia, the winner of Project Runway season 3^
^by Vincent Libretti^
The dresses (worn by the show's original models) can be seen on pages 23 and 24 here.
You can also view them here at the top left and bottom right.
I'll have better photos of Jeff's creation and more pics (including full-length) of both...soon!
The photographer is James Porter Alexander.
Enjoy, artists and fashionistas!

This is from a "rhinohearsal" for an upcoming rhino art piece blessing ritual.
The horns light up in an incandescentish way.
