Ventriloquist



This past week I decided to hit up my favorite Thrift Store in Downtown Riverside for some inspiration and rejuvenation. I was pretty close to buying a Ventriloquist dummy but I was too scared that at the dead of the night he would come alive and kill me. So I passed. 

My favorite part of going to stores like these is that all these trinkets have a history attached to it. Some people go into thrift stores and see junk ;I see ghosts of the past.  

So I pose this question : What does the material say about you? Do you collect/buy things for quality, to fulfill a status quo/ or just because? 100 years from now what's the history you're leaving behind?

The Shoe Surgeon

Remember the days of the one-of-a-kind air brushed air force ones? Some people had their country's flag on it, or had their nicknames, etc. Yeah, those were pretty cool (I guess). I never was a big fan of shoe customization until I found myself drooling over some reconstructed Vans on some chick's instagram. I quickly went scouring the interwebs thinking they were some limited edition vans. I soon found myself not finding on all my google search...until finally I read the tag "The Shoe Surgeon".

Dominic Salvatore Chambrone aka "The Shoe Surgeon"is an innovative cobbler and designer that raises custom shoes to a new level.



 Never was a supra fan. But these will actually do.
 I probably won't be able to skate in these, but I still want/need. 
 The Shoe Surgeon himself.
The Shoe Surgeon is Biebed approved.

Allow Me to Introduce Myself




I have to admit this is the most awkward post I will ever have. My name is Genevieve currently residing in Riverside. I am attempting to balance working at a cell phone kiosk, studying at UCR, and on my free time blogging, filming, and doing hood rat shit.  

Sorry, but if you were wanting to follow a young hot hyna posting "swagged out pictures", that's definitely not me. I am a tomboy at heart; and I have enough dirty vans, beanies, hats, and button ups to prove it. I'm not saying that I don't have a girly side, (which I really do like when it comes out) ...it's just I love sleeping in and I'd rather skip the hair and make-up sometimes

I am a 21 year old Cultural Anthropologist (really I am, it's my major), thus if you choose to stalk this blog consider yourself following an ethnographic blog. In simpler terms, I'll be doing a lot of people watching, event watching, internet watching, and maybe some stalking. 

I'll stop before it gets more awkward. But hopefully this introduction will suffice. If not, you'll get to know me eventually through the mediums of photos, videos, etc. In conclusion, I hope how you enjoy or grow to enjoy, how I view the world.
