LIVE FROM THE KANYE CONCERT

So the NOOE crew is here live at the Kanye West Glow in the Dark concert. So far it has been an amazing experience. The crowd is hype and Lupe, N.E.R.D. and Rihanna are killing it. Big ups to Brian Tanaka and Julius Law representing Boogiezone Breed on stage with Rihanna. Kanye is next... the anticipation is killing me.

MEETING STANDARDS

The 25th hour. Seems like the only time when we can blog is after the day is over and done with. So what have we been doing? As with any business especially ones in the early stages... we meet and meet and meet and plan and plan and execute. Things are moving forward... business paperwork-being legitimate, coming correct... just gotta make sure all the bases are covered. Definitely a learning process for all four partners including myself.

It has only begun...

FINALLY

So I'm finally in. My first post. Watch out now...

There's a lot of things coming up with NOOE. I've been busy finishing up our spring buying and getting ready for the photoshoot and website launch. Stay tuned for upcoming updates on all those things.

In other related news, I just wanted to give a big thanks to Tracy of MACAROON HK. Tracy is the owner of a wonderful boutique in Hong Kong called Macaroon. Located in Causeway Bay Place she's definitely got some of the most unique pieces in her store. Being away from HK makes buying a little difficult and she's been a huge help with everything so with that, THANK YOU!

This past weekend has got to be one of the most busiest weekends ever. Started off with a NOOE meeting friday and then all heading off to CHAOS meeting. Saturday came around, Khai and myself started our day going to a dance audition for VAN SON Entertainment. Afterwards we headed over to eat at a place with the best COBB salad I have ever had in my life with Anika (Breed), Cobey (Breed) and Amy (Breed/Essence).





Congrats to all the dance teams that won awards yesterday at the V.Ent Dance Awards, especially CADC for taking best theme and Breed for best exhibition of the year!

Till next time....

LA LA LAND PT. 2

continued...
So after getting a small taste of HK and being back now for a week and a half,  I've realized the lifestyle we live is so drastic to that of our Asian friends.  It feels like a life or death situation for them...ok maybe not that dramatic hah- but there is no time to lag! Time and money are at the forefront of their lives, hustle hard or go home. And this is across the board- businessmen, local vendors, small shopping mall store owners..they all have the common goal of just taking care of they shit. 
Speaking of which, here are some pics of the NOOE boys at the Farmers Market and strolling along side Fairfax,  a place where people have busted their ass to make it happen. Definitely some inspiration!
