I am looking to you x-Manray/Underworld/Ceremony/XMortis folks ;) Although this is NOT a Goth/Industrial night for those of you who enjoy EBM and the dark(er) side of electro, I think this is something you may want to come and check out. Hearthrob is always at The Middlesex Lounge, 315 Mass Ave., Cambridge, MA. Come on out next Tuesday the 12th and have some fun with us.

List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they're not any good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying now. Post these instructions in your livejournal along with your 7 songs. Then tag 7 other people to see what they're listening to.

1. Download - Base Metal
2. PIG - Rope

This has made my day complete.

Check Out the SALE!

and this...with IKEA heart shaped ice cubes!

I was taking photos today around the office as the sun was preparing to set.
our office is in a very old lofted space [circa 1900's]. the windows & neat old architecture of the space
lend well to the casting of shadows at certain times of the day. when the sun is shinning directly onto the building it creates these amazing shadows on the walls. because of all of the neat shadows through out the office I decided to cast some of my own.

I have some exciting photos of the DISTRO.Y fashion show,
our very first trade show we exhibited at in san diego just a couple short weeks ago &
pretty pictures of balboa park in san diego. balboa park is this amazing park that is filled
with museums, gardens, an organ theater & wonderful landscapes that you can walk for miles
and miles. I recommend everyone getting to san diego at least once in their lifetime. it was so beautiful.

our 'oh so fabulous' fashion show that was on january 13, 2006 @tt's.
when I have the video on line of the show I will be sure to post a link. for now here are the
pictures from the evening of:





jen mcClain choreographed & coordinated the entire show and I am sure you will recognize all of the beautiful faces
you see in these pictures modeling. emmygoo did all of the make up and wigs. our fashion show could not have been
as amazing as it was without everyone who was involved. thank you all again!

yesterday was the 1yr. anniversary of Jhonn Balances death. RIP

coil lyrics in memory of Jhonn:
song title: Blood from the Air

A sleeping explorer, his wandering mind
Crossed over the border
A mind like a cemetery where the corpses are turning
Where the bodies twist deep
In the frozen grip of a dreamless sleep
Then the lowest comes up
Like a wreck from the depths
He hears night calling and has dreams of waking
Here in this brightness
That burns like slow lightning
He sees words burnt in ice
And reads that the world is a wound
And the body of Christ
Effects of the animal, animal sound effects
He says, "Death, he is my friend
He's promised me a quick end"

The world is in pain
And should be put down
And God is a sadist
And that he knows it

The depths of the night skies
Reflects in his eye
He says, "Everything changes
(Nine knives of ice)
And everyone dies"
And the night slits her veins
And the darkness drains
And the void rumbles in
Like an underground train
Forever comes closer
The world is in pain
We all must be shown, we must realize
That everyone changes and everything dies

in some happier news:
the ape of naples will be released after all! I have been waiting with baited breath
for this album and they have finally released it. it also appears as though sleazy

here are some photos of jussi's gathering at cuchi cuchi
and then we hopped over to the ZuZu just in time to catch
this insane band. it was hilarious and here are the pictures
to prove it. overall I think that everyone had a really great time.

















for more of the photos from last evening:
http://www.zanazazzi.com/album112?page=1

so here are some photos of me being
completely retarded as many of you who know me
know I can be:










Terrence and I went into this creepy wax museum and this picture here is
me standing in a room of wax 'dead' bodies. it was pretty awesome. I loved that
room. each caged in section had 3 bodies and if you moved quickly the lights flickered.
the whole museum was a safety hazard in the worst way. it was so dark you had to feel your
way down the hallway and let me tell you in high heels it was a huge hazard to well me.
everything sucked except a few things.there was a lot of fake blood & ghoulish type stuff
so that kept me from being completely disappointed. there were some cool scenes throughout
but for the most part it was pretty lame. tea and I basically laughed the entire time.
although tea got scared once when this huge noise let loose.shhh! don't tell him I told you.
ha! he totally did though.

here are some photos from Jen & Joe's wedding
this past weekend. I was in the wedding party and it
was the most beautiful wedding I have ever been to or
been a part of. here are some photos:















for more pictures go to:
http://www.zanazazzi.com/albums.php

inside that album I have pictures of the couple days spent
with both families prior to the wedding and then there is another
album of the brunch the next day.

here is the link to the butterfly exhibit incase
any of you would like to go before it leaves the MOS

http://www.mos.org/doc/1475

I really should have posted that in my last post.
silly me!

saturday was such a hot and sticky day. gross even.
so terrence, amy and myself decided why not go to the butterfly
exhibit and sweat our asses off even more but we can see butterfly's.
that makes all the suffering from the heat even better.

I was so in love with them. I wanted them to land on me
so we could be friends. well one did! right as I was on my way out a very beautiful
purple-blue one landed on my right arm. terrence quickly took a picture of it.
it totally made my day. the environment that the museum built for them was
so amazing. rock waterfall, tons of trees, mexican heather, hibiscus & other very beautiful
tropical flowers. it made me so happy. I wanted to stay in that room all day.

here are some photos I took.

here are a few more photos I took today with grapesodavixen:
these photos have not been touched up they are as I took them.














I have had a very long day of photo shoot, eating pizza & quite a few hours
of silk screening. I am ready to drop! once I am done packing up some of our
web orders I can finally rest my head.

so this is a very broad preview of my Fall 2005 Knitwear collection. I just took these photos this evening so they have not been through the photoshop magic that I am going to introduce them to before my catalog is designed. here are some photos that I think without photo shop magic came out nicely. I will be designing my catalog very soon and these will be avalible at Stel's on Newbury St. this fall. they will also be avalible at various stores across boston and on our website. stay tuned.












sorry for the long post of pics.
I will be posting the catalog when I am finished designing it.
enoji!

eeek!
I am posting like one after the other. hee
well last night was jen's bachelorette party and we took
her to cuchi-cuchi for some yummy tid bits then to the
foxy lady, manray (for some good ol' new wave)then to eva's bday party.
we had a long fun filled evening.

here is where you can find some pictures from last night:
http://www.zanazazzi.com/album105

I of course got super roudy and chaos was ensuing every where I
went but it was fun. I got in at 5am this morning and I would say...
Mission Accomplished with Success! w00t!

so on wed. terrence & I headed to nyc for the kraftwerk show.
we got there in a knick of time to see them start the show.

so let me take moment to say that kraftwerk was absolutely
amazing! I am sad that everyone I know couldn't be there.
I was breath taken with how awesome the show was.
I took some photos and got some video footage.

here is where you can find the pics:
http://www.zanazazzi.com/album104

as soon as I get video footage uploaded I will send out
another link.

after the show a bunch of us went the lower east side for some drinks
at this hip dive bar. haha. yes! hip dive bar...is there such a thing?
well I believe that if there is...this bar was it...and if there isn't
then we found one. we had fun and hung out until 4am. it was great!

thursday we had lunch with seze & charles then we made our way back to boston.
for all of you who didn't make it to Kraftwerk...you truly missed out.
I am not trying to rub it in...but I think that everyone should see them at least once
in their lifetime. I mean even if you have never heard of them and someone says, 'hey
do you want to go see Kraftwerk?' just say, YES! & go.

I wish I could have taken more photos but because I was taking video footage too
it ate my memory stick up really quickly.

so saturday was not only amazing weather wise but a very
fun filled, successful day for DISTRO.Y. We arrived at the
flea with tons of time to spare, great parking and it took us
like 2 mins to load in. our table was in a wonderful location...
one might even say we had prime real estate.

we were between two friends, russ and mike dacey.awesome!

well from the moment that the doors opened to the public
we were swamped. we had so many people buying our tees, buttons
and asking us if they could design for us. it was pretty amazing.
a few people had referenced our mention in the weekly dig earlier
last week. they mentioned that they went to our website and loved
our tees. it was nice to hear.

dave and I spent the week in production and busted our asses
and well it all paid off. I silk screened, sew'd and he organized & size
stickered our entire back stock. I was up until 4am on friday night sewing,
went to bed, slept 4 hours got up sew'd some more and then TeA and I dashed off to the flea.
dave met up with us a little after 10:00 and we set up the table.

some of my favorite local companies were at the flea. boy/girl party, poppycock,
repeatpress & us of course. fish mcgill had his awesome tees and other really great
stuff. there was a girl from nyc who had some cute tees. I purchased some amazing
silk screen paper & cards from poppycock. I got to see some good friends that I had no idea were going
to be there. so that was a huge treat.I would have to say that this weekend was wonderful,
productive, fruitful and down right awesome!

I hope that all if you had a great weekend as well.

DISTRO.Y will have a table at the
Punk Rock Flea Market 5th Annual, tomorrow
at Mass College of Art.




PRFM starts: 11:00am-5:00pm
The PRFM will be held in the Pozen Center of North Building

There are going to be awesome vendors there. I wish I had the list
but the honeypump site is no longer existent. so sad

Well if you find yourself around the Mass Art area you should stop in.

hello everyone
I just posted a bulletin on myspace and I will post something here as well.
it appears that someone or someone(s) are downloading pictures off my website and
using them in there myspace profile(s).

I ask that if any of you see my photo somewhere on myspace that is not me
please.please.please! message me immediately with the link. I have sent a message
to tom@myspace but I am unsure how much he can help me until I find those people
who are using my photo.

how I found out:
a friend contacted me on 5/24 and asked if I was gillian. when I replied yes! it is me you found me.
he replied last night saying:
Hey alright! Other people are using your picture. You're like totally famous.

this situation completely scares me. I have a good friend that this just happened to on myspace last october
and she literally went through hell to find the person and get them removed.

thank you so much in advance.
sorry this wasn't a happier post. : [
