- Hola!! Gn from here
I present to you the cover arts I made for my new upcoming album "Rhythm & Venezuela" (05.05.2024): I'm creating and presenting this R&V movement as an audiovisual collage. Blending R&B, Pop, Venezuelan Folklore, Afro, and Indie. Celebrating mixture through abstract art. Influenced by the 90s, merging nature and spirituality with elements of urban life and virtuality. My lyrics explore universal themes such as love, pain, and the quest for self-realization. Exploring the planet's diversity, while collaboarating and supporting artists, ONG’s and communities. Aspiring to create an independent audiovisual company in a natural environment that integrates organic elements with technology, to continue expanding visions, sentiments, and developing multi media projects, genuine and exclusive experiences.

- Hey, are you joining Zoom for our weekly team meeting?" I asked my friend and partner of a decentralized application I had just secured funding to build after years of dreaming about creating my own software.
"I have dinner plans. Can we cut the meeting short?" she responded.
We were in Valencia, Spain, for a week before heading to Eth Paris. The team I had assembled was located in Pacific and East Coast time zones, so rescheduling wasn’t an option. The dapp was scheduled to deploy in less than six weeks, and we simply didn’t have time to reschedule.
This was one of the many times I contemplated whom I had chosen to partner with in building a blockchain application. As a first-time founder of software, I had no idea what I was doing or how to lead both an engineering and creative team. It was something I was learning on the job.

- You familiar with costly signaling theory and mimetic desire theory?
- The psychology around luxury and luxury memecoins are very similar.
If this token or bag wasn’t shrouded in luxury or mystery ( meaning a community of anons), would it be relevant? Would it be highly covetable? Beyond the bridging and token fees, what makes exclusivity what is it? And what makes users jump through rings of fire to obtain it?
People are drawn to things that they know other people, the majority, won’t be able to have…
- The Hermes Birkin class action lawsuit is interesting. 🫠
A lawsuit was recently filed against Hermes regarding the purchase ( or rather the inability to purchase) of the Birkin bag. Beyond the lawsuit lies the question of desire - why does everyone want what they can’t have?
Hermes is notorious for this business model where you have to buy a bunch of items you don’t really “want” in order to qualify to buy a birkin, the crowd jewel of the brand’s portfolio.
You have to establish a relationship with a Sales associate before you are considered eligible for a bag. In the past, there was a waitlist. Now, it’s becoming like a crypto quest to even have the honor to be chosen to carry such a heavy bag.
It’s a manufactured scarcity that not many brands have achieved. It’s one of the last few remaining luxury items that is made so intricately, and stitched 🧵 by hand. It’s an extraordinary process. But the torture to qualify to buy one, you could easily spend thousands of dollars on other items that you don’t really want.
It’s also good to note that the SAs don’t earn commission on the bag. From the perspective of the SA, it sounds like a good idea to dangle the possibility of the Birkin, as an incentive to buy. They can keep you in a revolving conveyor belt of branded items before they finally give you want you want. This doesn’t feel fair.
But what does it mean to be a consistent client of the Maison?
Perhaps this is a use case for luxury memecoins.

- The VV platform IRL...
It was the hottest day in Paris, around 100 degrees, and builders were all traveling around the city to different crypto events. We hosted a writer's salon because there's so much thought leadership that is distributed onchain, but not enough in real-life conversation about it. So, we rented some French lady's apartment in Le Marais. She had Chanel and L'Oreal beauty products leisurely sitting in her bathroom, a closet full of vintage clothes, and endless espresso in her kitchen...
- Miu miu invited their most loyal / highest spending customer to walk the f/w 2024 runway.
The 70 yo practicing physician based in Shanghai loves to wear miu miu and prada to work. Her grandson taught her how to use iG and she calls it a rebirth because she’s able to communicate in a different way than what she’s use to in her life…
When we talk about web3 loyalty and points, remember it’s not just a mark of red/green candle sticks for a meme coin. There is a vibrant customer story beyond the transaction. ✨
- Jesus is a beautiful name for a baby boy. ☦️
Here is this week's mood board...
- Luxury brand crypto coins are the future accessories of consumer goods.
Imagine every Nike sneaker collector being airdropped tokens based on the quality of their sneaker collection and being able to show proof of ownership to get access to exclusive events...
Imagine every Hermes bag customer being able to collect certain items based on the coins they've amassed from being a loyal customer and shopping at different boutiques around the world...
Imagine LVMH's future L3 liquidity pool of luxury coins from Botega to Fenty to LV and more... The value of the coin appreciates as more investors buy into the pool of funds that represent the future of the brand and its audience...

- Ever wondered what happens to your content when it disappears from your favorite website? As a website owner, managing content efficiently becomes paramount. When I was a journalist publishing for many different platforms, I was faced with the problem that I would never be able to own my content. Even running my own blog site on Google's Blogger and WordPress was not enough to have full control over my words.
This dilemma led to the creation of Violet Verse, a content management software designed to streamline the content creation process for modern publishers. Unlike traditional platforms like Google, Squarespace, or Wordpress, which often require cumbersome plugin support and lack ease of access to content, Violet Verse is built for explorers who want to do more with their content and be able to preserve the lifespan of their words in general.

- Schiaparelli's Ode to Hardware: Daniel Roseberry Sends Tech Down The Runway
In a fascinating exploration of the intersection between technology and creativity, generative AI finds itself at the core of fashion. Contrary to the perception that AI might stifle human creativity, I argue that the true essence of AI lies in its responsiveness to prompts and data. The fashion industry, known for its intricate layers of design, has become a canvas for this collaboration between human ingenuity and artificial intelligence.

- Why Gate-Keeping Technology is Wack by Violet Summer
The story of how I heard about AI And The Mindset of Improving The Human Condition
f you met me in my fashion magazine era, you'll be familiar with my Fashion Week coverage and how much of an allure it was to those outside looking in on what exactly I was doing at a designer runway show on a Tuesday morning. It wasn't exactly office work and the stuff my mother and aunts grew up doing. Yet, it was my dream, and that dream was hard to realize when the entire industry operated on a system of nepotism. Fashion Week and getting a covetable invitation was the epitome of gatekeeping and had its run in the early 2000s, but social media has quickly decentralized this global gathering of the most fashionable. It's not for the elite; Fashion Week is for the community, and now that we have YouTube, TikTok, and Snapchat, anyone can sit front row. You don't have to be best friends with Anna Wintour.
In many ways, this is the vibe of technology. Back then, web2's private servers and dial-up ruled the internet and determined who could post and be SEO kings of their niches. Now, with blockchain, public servers, and community digital asset portals, there are new ways of doing everything and cross-continental collaborations are more readily accessible. *Hello, remote work*! As we move to abolish gatekeeping, we must beware of decisions that invoke the old-guard way of doing business and sharing resources when it comes to innovation. It's about reality; it will only open up creative ways to improve the human condition and make us better off.
