WAKA FLOCKA FLAME FOR PETA'S "INK, NOT MINK" CAMPAIGN

American rapper and hip-hop artist Waka Flocka Flame shook up the charts and the airwaves with his debut album, Flockaveli. This crunkster quickly became a musical sensation and is known for sporting some rockin' ink and serious jewelry. But underneath all that bling is a heart of gold—Waka Flocka Flame is a huge animal lover and is giving a shout-out to all the helpless fuzzy animals who are killed for their fur. The rapper has joined PETA's iconic "Ink, Not Mink" campaign and is showing his skin to help animals save theirs.

Waka thinks that "[fur] is nasty!" and urges the hip-hop community to "understand what you buy." Animals who are killed for their fur, such as foxes, minks, rabbits—even dogs and cats—are bludgeoned, stomped, electrocuted, and often skinned alive. Waka shares his disgust and exclaims, "Damn … electrocuting and killing animals!" Undercover investigations reveal the horror as the animals struggle and scream in pain as workers peel the skin from the writhing animals' bodies.

Waka Flocka Flame shot two additional ads for PETA. Check out the explicit and tame versions now!

Animals endure tremendous pain and suffering before they are turned into coats, vests, hats, and other accessories. The only way to prevent such unimaginable cruelty is never to buy or wear any fur or fur trim and to encourage others to do the same. As Waka Flocka Flame prepares his sophomore album, Triple F Life: Friends, Fans, & Family, one F you'll never see him in is fur.

McDONALD'S ENFORCES A DRESS CODE!!!

Access is hard at work creating ideas and concepts for some high profile brands. For McDonald’s, we envision a cool, surprising and fun mix of concepts. First is McFancy, an upmarket temporary McDonald’s store that launches at Fashion Weeks around the globe — London, New York, Paris, Milan, Sydney, Hong Kong. McFancy is part art installation, gathering spot and, of course, a restaurant that offers a traditional McDonald’s menu but packaged in a way that makes a playful yet stylish nod to the lifestyle of the highly desirable, influential consumers that attend Fashion Weeks.

Waiters in tuxedos, silver service, private dining areas, and packaging co-created with the fashion brands that present at Fashion Week — Burberry burgers, Chanel fries on black packaging, Paul Smith Sundaes…A bit of fun among the serious business of fashion. A bite of comfort food among all the elaborate cocktail fare, Private dining rooms, a raised catwalk that winds around the perimeter of the space, and with a central bar area providing a dramatic focal point. The ceiling is constructed from stretched fabric, ribbed to provide articulation and define zones. The form of the ceiling is accentuated through the use of LED lighting.

A PICTURE IS WORTH A 1,000 WORDS

While on the set of a high profile a artist photoshoot which I can not name at the present time, I had the honor of meeting and talking to Jonathan Mannion. The highly sought after photographer who is also getting his stock up in video directing. Mannion has great understanding of the artist in which he in shooting, everything from their enviornment to their music and everything that makes them who they are from the type of weed they smoke to the type of guns they tote.

Just know that if you want a Mannion album cover. CUT THE CHECK
