(In order to fully reap the epicness of this blog entry, please listen to this while you read)
Two nights ago I attended the midnight showing of Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World..even though what I really should’ve been doing was resting in bed and catching up on some much needed Z’s because my throat felt like a fireball of death and my head more or less resembled a watermelon (less fresh and tasty, more heavy and green). I weighed the outcomes: don’t go and be a Patty Pansy..but a healthy Patty Pansy, or go even though you’ll be stuck in a cold room for two hours with chairs that don’t recline and you risk falling asleep anyway therefore wasting $11.50 that you could’ve spent on the studs and spikes ring you’ve been eyeing at the office. So naturally, I loaded up on as much prescription medicine as possible, gave a rousing pep talk to my white blood cells, and trekked on to the cinemas. I don’t know if it was the fact that I was half drugged out on tylenol, or if I was exhausted to the point of hallucinations, or if the movie was just so damn good…but srsly, that movie was just so. damn. good.
I didn’t think it was even remotely possible for a movie to do a book justice but somehow director/screenwriter Edgar Wright brought the SP series to life and then immortalized it. I’ve never seen a movie adaptation go so unbelievably well. Any SP fan can tell you that this film, unlike most film adaptations (I’m looking at you M. Night Shyamalan), was not made carelessly. Wright most certainly went through a great deal to make sure every aspect of the film was no less than 7000% EPIC ALLY EPIC (that includes but is not limited to casting, acting, special effects, storyline). I must also praise Michael Cera for his fantastic representation as the lame but totally super cool Scott P. I must admit that I did doubt Cera’s awesome awkwardness would suffice but about 15-30 minutes into the film, all doubt was vanquished as I realized he had definitely brought his A game…and for that I am eternally grateful (ditto to the rest of the cast).
I believe anyone, not just SP fans, can watch this film and have a good time for 5 reasons: 1. It’s haaalarious 2. It’s filled to the brim with stellar visual effects 3. Its innovative use of storytelling proves that even to this day movies can still be original 3. It’s awesome 4. Another word for awesome 5. Do you even need another reason? So don’t be discouraged you non-SP readers! Go out and embrace Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World for what it really is..”an epic of epic epicness.”

(One word: braingasms. )
Even though I partook in this year’s Electric Daisy Carnival festivities, I have to admit that I enjoyed Hard’s lineup much, much more. However that could also be due to the fact that I was too lazy to trudge back and forth and side to side between five stages (Hard had only two stages.) Regardless, I had an awesome time this past Saturday. With good music, good company, and GOOD pizza vendors, how could you not enjoy yourself? My favorites of the day were Breakbot, The Twelves, Green Velvet, Flying Lotus, and most definitely Diplo. Breakbot and The Twelves had me swaying and grooving to their upbeat, dancey shuffley tunes (if Hard were a high school, they would be the cool kids); Green Velvet, a pioneer of house music, kept it old school but at the same time fresh and fabulous (his energy was through the Earth’s atmosphere); Flylo had me encased in a glass box of bass and wompage (it felt as if a rocket ship was blasting off inside my stomach, lungs, and head); but Diplo…Diplo had me on the floor writhing in pure, unadulterated satisfaction. His entire set BLEW. MY. MIND. Pretty much everything you can think of that sounds good in this world…he got all of it and dubsteptized it. He even managed to appeal to all audiences…which is a very difficult feat to accomplish for not just DJs but any kind of musical act. And to finish off his already flawless set, he spun Bassnectar’s remix of “Where is My Mind?” Yes, Diplo, where the hell indeed is my mind after that song? Dude…I don’t think I’ll ever find it.

I’ve never been inclined to wear rings. To me, rings belonged on the fingers of girls who wore floofy dresses and strappy shoes (I wear oversized t-shirts and worn out high tops.) Last year, I met this girl who wore a ring on almost every finger and sometimes even two on one finger. I was oddly fascinated by this. The more I hung out with her, the more I felt myself warming up to the idea of accessorizing my naked digits. It soon became an obsession…just like everything else does when I’m around it for too long. But no matter how much I searched, ransacked and pillaged…I could not find any rings that tickled my fancy. The first ring I ever purchased (not counting those that are dispensed out of tiny, red, plasticky vending machines) was actually at Threadsence. TRUE STORY. I kid you not, this is not for the sake of promoting our (awesome and affordable) rings. I paid a whopping $12 (what a steal!) for the silver two finger ring (pictured above in top left) and I have not looked back since. It’s simple, sleek, stylish, and can also serve as an effective weapon when applied directly into someone’s face. What else can you possibly need? TS offers a multitude of rings – especially two/three finger rings. We just love to stick our fingers in as many holes as we can, y’know? Now that the obligatory sexual innuendo is out of the way, just go out and get one (or five) already!
You know you wannaaa,

I’m in a bit of a rush (on my way to the garlic festival in Gilroy (I KNOW U R SUPER JEALOUS) (I’ll keep you posted) (pun intended) (let’s see how many parentheses I can fit into one sentence) (:D) so I’m just gonna get straight to the facts. Today is 24/7, a.k.a. Life in a Day day! Director Kevin Macdonald invites YOU to film your life for the next 24 hours (get it? 24/7? ayyyy) So grab your camera and head out (or in, under, over I’m sure they’re not fussy) and film you and/or your friends/family/strangers/cats doing whatever the hell you want (snorkeling, battling tigers, purchasing all of Threadsence’s new arrivals..you know something inspiring.)

Have a frenzied fun film-filled day!

For those of you who know me – which is probably no one but the members of team ThreadSence – know that I have an affinity for anything Daft Punk. So imagine my surprise when I came across this little bit of YouTube goodness this morning. If you asked me to draft up a ‘Top 3 Daft Punk Goodies’ list, I’d gladly retort:
(In no particular order)
1). A 40-foot-tall, LED-encrusted pyramid, with a retractable front cover wired to make any Disneyland Light Parade look like a Lite-Brite (which is still VERY cool in it’s own right, but not in this case).
2). The most elaborate DJ setup known to Daft man or woman (shown below).
3). A DAFT PUNK HELMET!!!!!!
God bless this kind soul for doing what I have tried to yet failed so miserably in past lifetimes. I once again have purpose in life as to procure one of these bad boys for Halloween ‘10. Just think of think of the interesting conversations you’d spark at parties….

(The 6th and FINAL book of the series comes out today)
(my dear friend Marb, look out for him in the new book! )
A year ago my friend Marb suggested to me that I read the comic book series “Scott Pilgrim.” He told me that these mere little books changed his life and went on reiterating how epic and awesome they were. I was intrigued but hesitant. Then he added, “You know, they’re gonna come out with a movie based on the series and Michael Cera’s casted as the lead.” I replied swiftly, “You’ve sunk my battleship of doubt. I will read this magnificent comic.” It took me a while to pick up the first book but when I finally did make that legendary $11.99 purchase at Borders…I wanted to build a time machine just so I could go back to the moment I hesitated and drop kick myself in the throat again and again and again. Yes, it’s that good. I was literally LOLing and ROFLing all over the place. With each book it got harder and harder to put down, but because they were so easy to read (more drawings than words, more books should be like this!) each book was barely in my hands for more than hour tops. The brain of author and illustrator Bryan Lee O’Malley is, and I state this with full and complete confidence, a mad genius…a mad-crazy-badass-I-don’t-even-I-can’t-OMG-WHAT-DID-YOU-JUST-DO-TO-MY-BRAIN-WITH-YOUR-BRAIN-THAT-WAS-IMPRESSIVE-genius. Marb got to meet the almighty O’Malley last year at Comic Con and SOMEHOW he was chosen to be drawn in the 6th book (pic above). I’m not jealous. I’m not T_T
The series follows 23-year-old Scott Pilgrim, he’s lazy, clueless, and the most awesome fictional character you’ll ever meet (next to Harry Potter, of course). He’s sort of a loser, but what incredibly boss hero isn’t? I mean Harry Potter lived in a cupboard for 11 years of his life and then went on to defeat Voldemort, the most evil and powerful wizard of all time. Scott Pilgrim is average, he’s Canadian, and he plays bass in the band “Sex Bob-Omb”…but the moment he met Ramona Flowers, a dangerously attractive American delivery girl, he was a changed man, more or less. He’s willing to do anything to get her even if it means defeating her seven evil exes, which he learns that he MUST do in order to date Ramona at all (AWESOME RIGHT?! RIGHT?!!?) The 6th book comes out today, July 20th (YAY!) So if you haven’t began reading yet, do so now or you’ll never live a complete and happy life.
While you’re at it, you can also check out this behind the scenes look at the movie, Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World. It’s due out in theaters August 13th, 2010.
Hey world, hail to your new leader: Scott Mothereffin’ Pilgrim.

We here at TS are always looking for inspiration whether it be in the form of art, music, and/or of course – fashion, so it’s no surprise that we’re hella into Mink Pink’s spring/summer 2010 campaign. The 70’s feel of this shoot is so gosh darn friggin’ adorable that you can’t help but feel the urge to slap on some florals and prance and lollygag outside in the sun while whimsically blowing dandelions into the summer air. Sweet job MP! 
Stay classy Threadsters,
Teresa
Here’s a little teaser from our upcoming mid-summer lookbook! Yowza. This picture is definitely slapping me across the face for trying to go past first base.
Happy cold showering,
Teresa
