WCW: Robin Eisenberg

I feel like 90% of my favorites artists are based out of California, I feel like I need to venture out there at some point of my life.
Robin Eisenberg, an artist and designer based out of California, who creates digital art and designs things like patches, pins, hats, key chains, prints and postcards!! I have this recent obsession with pins, and I need every single one from Robin's shop. 

What I love most about Robin Eisenberg's work in general is obviously the bright colors, and bold lines, and how her character girls all look so different! She makes sure to highlight all body types, because all bodies are great bodies! She's heavily inspired by feminism, badass women, space, fashion, sex, the occult, makeovers, "and other rad things!"

WILSON: RIGHT TO RISE

WELL THE WILSON BOYS HAVE DONE IT AGAIN. A NEW RECORD, INTERNATIONAL TOURS, AND SPENDING THEIR DAYS BANGING THEIR HEADS THOUSANDS OF FANS. WITH ALL OF THIS TIME ON THE ROAD THEY HAVENT LOST THEIR ROOTS HERE IN DETROIT.

CHECK OUT THIS AWESOME BACK STORY FOR RIGHT TO RISE:  

"When we wrote the song we wanted to tell a story about the area of the world we live in. After traveling so much the past few years we realize the magnifying glass that the media has put on Detroit has damaged not only our city’s image but more importantly our PEOPLES’ image. We all struggle with life's weight no matter where we live in this world...our peoples’ story is not unlike the millions of other people out there put against the wall daily, cast aside as underdogs and thought of as "already dead". It's through the struggle to survive in those conditions that we create our strengths.

What we’ve tried to achieve visually is to tell a story thru the POV of a pack of dogs moving thru the blight of our city; the places most identifiable to the rest of the world. The abandoned house the band is performing in starts to crumble as the "underdogs" move from the rubble of our past into the present parts of Detroit's rebuild, showing our people coming together in strength to unite as one. It’s a picture of hope and growth through hard work, resilience and ingenuity, while honoring our past as we rise towards our future.
The video was produced and directed by Tradesmen Films and Chad Nicefield."

WELL WE ARE VERY STOKED AT VILE HQ ON SEEING ALL OF THIS PLACES THAT MAKE OUR HOME...OUR HOME. CHECK OUT THE VIDEO HERE! -AREN

SEPTEMBER FAVORITES!

2015 needs to slow down, because I feel like I did my August favorites yesterday...... LETS GET RIGHT INTO IT!!!!!!!!

BEAUTY :

Sephora Bright Future Gel Serum

Contouring is still the huge make up trend still this month it seems, and earlier this month I told myself I'd stop using my Kat Von D foundation that's too light for me, as a concealer (IT'S FULL COVERAGE DON'T JUDGE ME.) I wandered into Sephora on a mall visit that I shouldn't have been buying makeup on, and saw they had just came out with a new concealer, and BOOM. I asked an associate at the store about it, and she said it was a dupe for the NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer (which I love but it's too expensive for me to justify buying) so I was instantly sold. It's definitely not as full coverage with the first layer, like the NARS concealer, but it's definitely buildable. The NARS concealer is $29, and the Sephora one is only $14 and pretty comparable, so it's definitely a new favorite! It blends easily, it comes in 20 shades, it's affordable, and is perfect for a highlight! I'll be repurchasing when I run out for sure!

FASHION:

Warm Beanie

This seems like such a basic thing, but where I live is in a ridiculous in between weather kind of thing right now. It's really warm during the day, and it gets really cool at night, and having a mostly shaved head, I always need to keep a beanie nearby to cover my head and ears. It's easy to throw on, be warm, comfy, and beanies look cute with just about anything, in my opinion!

INSTAGRAM PAGE:

@StudioMucci :

I came across this page through my explore page, and it caught my eye because of a bright pink colored picture like most of the pictures on Amina's feed! Amina Mucciolo is the founder of Studio Mucci Luxury Handmade Goods, a shop of home and party decal! She's best described as a unicorn in human form.

This month was pretty magical, because I got to see Purity Ring in concert, I went to my first Gay Pride festivities and meet some of my favorite drag queens! Overall, it was a pretty good month, but I'm excited to get into October, the spoopiest month of the year! I love Halloween so much, and my costume is going to be MAJOR. I'll probably do a video about that next month, so keep en eye out!

WOLF SHARK FINDING YOURSELF

So we were excited to announce the release of our boys in WolfShark EP FINDING YOURSELF! Check out these videos they put together to promote the EP in collaboration with Brandan Keller! 

Founder's reDANKulous Imperial red IPA

As part of the backstage series Founder's new release is exactly what the name implies: dank. It's a red ale but thanks to the generous amount of hops it's also an IPA. Chinook, mosaic and simcoe are featured here along with caramalt and roasted barley. It's a very big, very juicy and sticky brew that I'll honestly be buying more bottles of. Nice frothy crystal head, big 9.5% abv and a punch to the pallet at 90ibu's. The perfect release as fall starts to creep in. I haven't heard if this was kegged but there seems to be plenty of bottles to go around. Cheers!

My Score: 94

Rate beer: 95

Not your father's root beer

It's the biggest selling alcoholic item since Mike's hard lemonade. It sells more pallets a week than Bud or Miller. If you haven't had one yet there's a good possibility that you're dead, or just can't seem to find it. Grabbed off shelves as fast as it's put up. Brewed by Smalltown brewery at first but now contracted out and produced by the place where fourloko is made. I shouldn't have to tell you this tastes exactly like root beer, except after a few of these you may start to feel a little funny thanks to a 5.9% abv. Little did you know they also make a 19.5% abv version that goes into a nice 22oz bottle. Personally, I can only handle the sweetness of just one of these but by no means is it a bad root beer. However, the snob in me that I hate to whip out must tell you; this is not beer and it is certainly not craft beer. Nothing produced on a scale of its size can be considered craft. That being said, none of that information should stop you from imbibing this beverage. To each their own. Now go get drunk. Cheers!

Kiuchi Brewery - Hitachino Nest Extra High

Ji bīru or, "local beer" has only been a thing to Japan since 1994 when tax laws were relaxed and breweries could produce fewer than 16,000 gallons. There are now over 200 microbreweries in Japan. The kiuchi brewery makes some of my favorite Japanese craft beers with the hitachino nest series. one in particular being aged in shochu barrels. shochu is sort of like sake but typically more diluted and weaker in alcohol, in addition to being more commonly brewed with barley instead of rice. Hitachino XH is considered a belgian dark strong ale because of its high alcohol percent and larger malt bill. its a pretty boozy tasting beer but also bready and sweet. even notes of brandy are there because of the shochu barrels. this brewery makes incredible beers and it was hard to pick which one to talk about. i recommend picking up a few of their brews as most places wont just carry one style. Cheers!

Tyler Fernengel's Silverdome Session

Mad props to Red Bull Detroit for doing what myself and I know others, have wanted to do since we were kids: To Ride the Silver Dome! For those who who don't know, the Silver Dome is the old Detroit Lions Stadium. Every time I came to the SD growing up, I couldn't help but size up every wall, stairs or rails in a Tony Hawk Pro Skater kind of way. Always imagining that I could actually land all of these tricks without totally killing myself. Now years after the dome has retired. Red Bull chose one special kid to fullfill my childhood dream. This lucky duck is a local Detroit BMX rider is named Tyler Fernengel! 

Again mad props to everyone involved. We are full of envy and we are definitely "Not" going to break in as soon as possible to ride it for ourselves! Check the video out here !
