Oh, Someone Did Something F*cked Up?

Humanity has been destroyed ever since "civilization" began. Isn't that ironic! Started way back in 4000BC when the Ancient Egyptians established a caste system in which slavery was born.

Fast forward to 1492 when our beloved Christopher Columbus & fellow pilgrims made their grand discovery (aka rape & pillage) of America. Our land was built upon the foundation of "What's mine is mine and what's yours is mine, too."

Slavery then resurfaced in America in 1619... because it was much easier to force our dirty work upon a peaceful people. Of course, respect for human life of a different race was completely out of the question.

Then we had Hitler in 1939, who really dug one in, setting the bar for violent intolerance.

Are we really JUST NOW noticing that evil, greed, hatred, and violence has our world in a relentless chokehold? Open your eyes. It's nothing new to hear that people are committing heinous crimes, shooting up elementary schools and movie theatres. War, greed & intolerance have been glorified and perpetuated through media, political leadership, government rule, and the facade of peace in excessive religion. 

The truth lies within the patterns of our history. Fear runs this world. 

It's time to stop sitting around biting our nails & start standing our ground. Something has to change. I hate to say it, but peace will never conquer hatred. Peace is something that's gotta grow from a seed into a forest, eventually usurping all evil. Acceptance is taught, and it will ultimately come once spirituality exists without religion. This will never happen if each & every one of us don't learn it, live it, teach it, and spread it. We certainly won't see it in our lifetime, but we can work towards it for our future generations.

What lies ahead seems grim, doesn't it? And our chances... slim. But if we all come together, we can make it out alive.

"Flip on the news and watch how we treat the Batman theater shooter and the Oregon mall shooter like celebrities. Disturbed people see the news and want to top it by doing something worse, and going out in a memorable way. Why a grade school? Why children? Because he'll be remembered as a horrible monster, instead of a sad nobody." -- Morgan Freeman

RANT OF THE WEEK: Irony in Namecalling

Isn't it ironic how people point fingers to call out & falsely accuse others of having the traits that they themselves encompass? This is true in cases of:

RELIGION vs. SCIENCE: the people who believe in energy & evolution are called "hippies", while religion is based on intangible, abstract theories like faith & hope.

HOMOPHOBES vs. GLBT: supposedly the gay community is "ruining society" by outwardly loving a person of the same gender, meanwhile the homophobes are absorbed in discrimination and fully willing to spread hatred, ignorance & intolerance.  

CAT OWNERS vs. DOG OWNERS: people like cats cuhs they're cuddly, yet independent (which provides certain freedoms for the owner); intense dog lovers dress their canines up in tiny clothes/shoes/sunglasses, feed them finger foods @ the airport, stage "puppy marriages" & throw parties for them. Now, cat owners are crazy... why?

HATERS vs. PEOPLE WHO DGAF: haters will brag about how many people hate on them on a daily basis, toss around negative comments calling people "ugly", "stupid", "scared bitch", etc. behind that person's back, and hold a grudge for years. A person who Doesn't Give A Fuck will shrug off your negativity 99% of the time, tell you straight to your face what they think about you (brave & forthright) & then forget about your existence almost immediately (smart).

I heart custom work.

Czelsea strikes again! Straight from my mind > paper > fabric. She got that vintage Hollywood look. Annnd WERK!

My Own Personal Myth Map

Red hair with a white blaze, green eyes, left-handed, Friday the 13th birthdays. I felt compelled to do some research.

Here's what I came up with (click the link to get the largest, most visible version):

1. Witches, vampires & werewolfs

2. A symbol of creation, universe, power of mind

3. Fiery, seductive, mysterious, sinister

4. Intelligent, compassionate, forgiving

Sounds about right.

Back with some ROWR. Feast your eyes upon my latest fashion photo shoot video.

Mystery Man

While passing by the window of an IHOP in LA, my friends & I spotted a mystifying gentleman gazing intensely down at something at his table. His impassioned look instantly struck our attention & we attempted to sneak this picture to capture the thousand untold words.

Of course, he discovered us stealing pictures of him through the window, and was rendered uncomfortable (rightfully so). We had been caught. We had to apologize. He turned out to be a London gent who was very pleasant and forgiving, and even more fashionable than we had initially seen! He answered our questions and accepted our apologies and allowed us to take a picture of him. The right way.

 

So meticulously well-put together. So tall! So nice to meet you, sir.

a new year, a new gear

Over the past year, I've become a die-hard Charger fan (where before I didn't know which team my heart truly belonged to, having lived in so many different states), started my very first avant garde clothing collection, graduated with honors from college with my BFA in Fashion Design, gotten a job in the industry, became a Jeep girl, started killing jumps on the ski slopes, purchased czelsea.com and chelseaheil.com & still don't know how to upload to them (but am still highly optimistic), been to Texas, won thousands in Vegas, fully & fabulously re-decorated a condo using under $5,000 - and realized that growing up is unbelievably over-rated.

Here's a video. Watch it. 

 

Go Chargers!!

       

loving life

my first collection, inspired by McQueen - BLEED

Alexander McQueen was an extremely influential designer since the start of his career, known for his shocking looks and fashionably uncouth presentation. He went out as tragically as he came in. This product line will aim to launch a widespread comprehension of the relation between life’s cataclysmic events and expression through dominant apparel. Fashion is life, and McQueen will live on through it.

These garments exude a powerful spirit. Details made of fur and metal and cuts that have not yet been seen by the style world will propel Fall 2010 into a state of beautifully organized chaos. This apparel will send a message that says, “life is hard, but it’s worth it”. 

Using functional zippers at the hemlines, our customer will be able to mix and match various tops to bottoms to create different looks. These comprehensive styles present an inevitable metamorphosis that mirrors our growth in day-to-day life. Life is about change and finding the means to deal with that evolution. This collection shows that although some things appear to be one way, it can easily change into a beautiful new adaptation the next.

I've wanted a yacht for a long time... but this one I NEED! Screw land, I'm pulling a high-class Kevin Costner.

Here's the deets:

A famous French shipbuilder ship company and one of Monaco joined hands together to build this yacht with enormous dimensions: 58meter long and 38 meter wide, an area of 3400 m2 has seating for 12 passengers and 20 crew. This is a "green" yacht. Wally et Hermès use green energy for 20-30% fuel savings and 40-50% electricity consumption on board. Therefore, there are 900 m2 equipped with solar panels, producing a daily output of 500 kilowatts. Equipment: three decks, a 25 meter pool, a spa helicopterpad, sauna, gym & massage room, a 130 meter promenade, a music room, a dining room, a cinema, sun decks, suites, terraces, & a lounge. The luxury is at the rendez-vous. The decks are connected by stairs but there is also an elevator. The suite of the owner (Ikke); with an area of 200m2, completely covers the third deck. The sea view is great and there is a private terrace of 25 meters long. The yacht has the shape of a horseshoe and has a roof so everything is bathed in a sea of light. The spacious lounge. On the lower deck are the common premises, such as lounge, piano bar and dining area. The dining room opens onto the sea view. Suites for the guests or the guests, 5 suites with sea views (on the middendek). There is also a reading room equipped.

a not so fat tuesday

hitting Bourbon Street is a must on Fat Tuesday... and with being surrounded by gay men, I was pleasantly surprised @ how many beads I was given without having to show off the twins! I guess you earn a pair just for being fierce.

These guys will whip me up some comedic sunshine on any rainy day. Honestly, this glorious sight of them basking in their faux buff valor for Vanity Fair makes me nauseatingly aroused. Don't act like you don't want to squeeze Jonah Hill's tiny little tush!
