Sunday, March 8th, 2009

MESCHAN SUMMER 2009 is not yet here, but we have released a preliminary style

based on the pretty, beautiful, and gorgeous return of the Op-art-y orange giraffe inspired print we so fell in love with two summers ago!!

This print was seen running around Manhattan, Williamsburg, Dominique, and of course, Riverside, Los Angeles, the Valley, and Rialto among other places in the 07.

Hope you caught it then, it is your time to own it now

The form of this bag is based on the infamous drug baby bib of Halloween 08. Fo sho FO SHO!!

Diapers included then, but why the hell now?? Drug baby has grown up and no longer wants to soil the self so freely

Annete Garcia, as if Oscar Grant and Sean Bell weren’t enough pain to suffer this year.

POLICE MURDER. MURDER. MURDER, MURDER, MURDER.

MUERTE. ASESINATO. ASESINATO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is NOT Police Brutality. This is Police MURDER.

Ok, so a few things that I was into when it comes to Riveside is that cops had consideration towards womyn. ALL womyn. even the craziest of cholas were kept safe to a degree in regards to their role as mothers. Another fool with a gun has decided to power trip on a womyn who was just looking a lil dangerous with a knife in her hand. Ok, so that fine and all, this is the type of situation when you take out your tazer and not a fucking GUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IN FRONT OF HER OWN CHILDREN. And then, if that wasn’t enough, let her BLEED TO DEATH. Riverside has GRIPP of hospitals and doctors, as UCR has a medical school program that works with these communitites.

I DONT CARE if it’s the ghetto and you tell me these children have been around weapons all their lives. And that they probably have seen their faily members die all the time.

When you are supposed to be a role model citizen, a PEACE officer, you know, to keep it peaceful, it doesnt make sense that you’d go and shoot mother in the back as they run home for safety, WHO ARE YOU TO DECIDE who lives or dies after a domestic fist fight?? WTF Do you KNOW what the hell her husband had put her and her children through that she feels necessary to run after that asshole down the street with a knife? A KNIFE! seriously, it takes quite a bit of strength and determination to hurt another human being with a knife. Even if you throw it, the likelihood it will hit the jugular is slim to none. Especially if its dark out. Does this render the situation viable towards any type of gang warfare? HELL NO. Domestic disputes are that. not gang activity. I am so angry. And feeling so impotent. this fucking sucks. I’m too far to be able to accomplish anything effective >(.

I love Riverside. It’s home, its playground, it’s where I learned most of my recent languages. Please pass this on!

In the memory of Annete Garcia, VATALINA will LIVE ON!
