Clad Nine & Nairobi Wear

Clad Nine & Nairobi Wear's Spring 2011 designs will be out in the next few weeks. For those who don't know about us, get familiar.

Founded in 2007, Clad Nine & Nairobi Wear are the only monogram art driven clothing brands in the market right now. The brands are positioned to appeal to individuals who appreciate unique lettering art, monograms, typography, and calligraphy.

Just like the founders, individuals we market to despite everyday challenges, have chosen to pursue their dream(s). That's why we make it our mission every season, our collections feature designs that serve as a statement meant to "Inspire & Empower you to stay true to your dream(s), without compromising your integrity"

We have set ourselves apart from the other brands by strictly using monograms art in our designs. Ever since he was a young boy, one of the founders has always been fascinated by "handwriting" and the art behind it. Calligraphy & Monograms.

Monograms have a rich sense of history and they were originally used as a royal signature. Romans and Greeks used them on coins to identify their rulers. Then, in the Middle Ages, artisans began to use them to sign their work. Victorian-period high-class persons adapted the monogram for personal use as a symbol of their place in society.

Today, Clad Nine & Nairobi Wear bring you the best Monogram art that artistically adorn every price of garment manufactured under these labels. The same procedure of paying attention to detail and bringing out the best quality in each piece is what we specialize in.

Are You Attending the USA Rugby Sevens 2011 in Vegas

Discuss on ooVoo

2011 Rugby Sevens is in Las Vegas, USA. There's a good number of people planning on attending this annual event. It will kick off on Thursday Feb 10th, 2011 and end on Sunday, Feb 13th. There are tons of hotel and flight deals you could get- I personally prefer Orbitz, their hotel, flight and car rental package is pretty good especially if you have friends you could split with. For those who know the sport, Rugby is a pretty tough game, you gotta be really strong and determined to be able to survive. With that said, hands down to all Rugby players. Check out more on here.

Diddy- Dirty Money Robbed!

Discuss on ooVoo

Diddy-Dirty Money made their worldwide television debut last night on ‘American Idol’ closing the show with a rousing performance of their new single “Hello, Good Morning” from their highly anticipated album Last Train to Paris in stores on June 22nd.
The Danja produced single quickly catapulted into the top ten of the iTunes single sales charts within a few short hours of the strobe-lit, heart-stopping performance.
“Hello, Good Morning” features rapper T.I. and infectious vocals from Sean “Diddy” Combs, Dawn Richard, and Kalenna Harper. Grammy-Award winning songwriter Rico Love co-wrote the single. Diddy describes Last Train to Paris as, “emotional, provocative, limitless music you can sink your teeth into.”
Combs, who has sold 75 million albums worldwide, has teamed up with singer/songwriters Dawn and Kalenna to create the new super-group Diddy-Dirty Money. Together, this musical trio infused with formidable singing, songwriting, and production talent create a new sound: ‘Train Music,’ an electro-hip hop soul funk experience.

Their debut CD, which is the embodiment of this new sound, reveals an intense love story that defies today’s musical status quo. Guest producers for the album include Rodney Jerkins, Danja, Mario Winans, and D’Mile.

Joining Diddy behind the microphone are singer/songwriters Dawn Richard, a founding member of the platinum-selling girl group Danity Kane, and Kalenna, whose burgeoning songwriting career has led her to work with a long list of music industry luminaries.
“Diddy-Dirty Money is a movement that represents a change in music,” declares Richard. “It’s different from what most people expect. But if they take the chance to listen, they will respect it.”

Known for having his finger on the pulse of what’s next, Combs had a notion that Dawn and Kalenna were kindred spirits when he brought the two together to write songs in 2009.

“All that Hollywood stuff doesn’t work for us,” adds Kalenna. “Dawn and I aren’t background singers simply standing next to Diddy, and Diddy-Dirty Money isn’t just more of the same. It’s an organic group that grew out of a shared passion for music.”

The Mercedes-Benz BIOME concept car

Discuss on ooVoo

The Los Angeles Design Challenge always brings some crazy idea, but this year one in particular caught our attention: The Mercedes-Benz BIOME concept car. It's an eco-friendly, biodegradable, ultra-light hybrid vehicle—which would be custom grown in a lab.

The folks behind the concept explain that the various parts of the vehicle would be grown separately:

The interior of the BIOME grows from the DNA in the Mercedes star on the front of the vehicle, while the exterior grows from the star on the rear. To accommodate specific customer requirements, the Mercedes star is genetically engineered in each case, and the vehicle grows when the genetic code is combined with the seed capsule. The wheels are grown from four separate seeds.
And apparently instead of running on regular fuel, the BIOME would run on a mysterious substance called "BioNectar4534" which leaves no by-product other than oxygen.

Yes, it's an insane idea and sounds damn near impossible. But that won't stop any of us from daydreaming about zipping around in a sleek, lab-grown car, now will it?
