Mec ZILLA is the self-described marketing genius (a title she most definitely deserves) behind 21MC, (21st Century Maroon Colony) a NY/SF based conceptual streetwear brand and Rxlngr (Rock Slinger Incorporated) her record label that showcases some of the freshest acts (like Muhsinah, J*DaVeY). Both Sarah and I have been big supporters of 21MC, since the first time their mind-blowing visual campaign appeared on the net, as well as her musical endeaevours with Muhsinah. Mec Zilla's revolutionary creative projects offer a fresh artistic and political vision for the new era. Vote Mec Zilla for president of the new colony!M J ZILLA!!! /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

YACIRA is another one of my super impressive artist/designer/stylist/creative hustler friends with limitless creative energy and drive. If I would have to pick only one stylist for the rest of my life, I would choose her. Her imagination embodied in her accessories will take you from Himalayan forests to the dens of avantgarde fashion workshops to reconnect you with your inner sexy. Whether it's tribal- inspired jewelry, artwork, or clothes or the dopest one-of-a kind refurbished vintange sunnies (Yak Blak), Yah's creations will make you feel like a rockstar. Keep your eyes peeled for her next project, COCOLAH, a web flea market for underground artists and designers, that will make you forget about ever stepping into a mall. YACIRA VALDEZ

WHERE CAN WE REACH YOU?.....through psychic energy. and/or www.myspace.com/yacquevaldez or yacque@gmail.com
WHAT'S NEW FOR 2008?.....Brand new website featuring some of the dopest designers on the street (coming soon) that's where you'll see what the Yah is really made of.
Yah is also a visual artist...pretty badass if you ask me. I'm loving the symbolic-erotic world of Yah's drawing...the combination of tribal/shamanistic patterning and modern/abstract symbolism speaks to my heart. You'll see the two of us out doing live painting in the near future, so check back later for more info.
