Confessions of a Fashion Fanatic: The Virgins Remixed by RAC

Confessions of a Fashion Fanatic

The daily chronicle of a fashion-and-beauty obsessed, style-writing, pseudo-Angeleno who made her way from the Great White North to La-La Land -- otherwise known as Los Angeles, California -- and back again. Till the next big city calls out her name, that is.

: Name: Haute Hippie; Location: Everywhere and anywhere

I'm a Vancouverite who moonlighted as an Angeleno. My momma is the best in the entire world, and I'll argue you hoarse on that one. I've been in love only once in my life. The East Coast calls me but the West Coast is in my blood. Social butterflies -- and party animals -- are a great species. Fashion and writing will be the death of me, but what a way to go. Carine Roitfeld is fabulous. I would die a painful death if art, design, photography, fashion, music and dancing did not exist. Always kind of wondered why Smurfette was the only girl in town. I can't draw. Absolutely believe everything happens for a reason. I feel so lucky to have the girlfriends that I do. I'm a total sun baby. Think I might be a workaholic. I may have slight road rage. Ice cream and hockey are religions. I buy too many glossy magazines. Nothing beats someone with a killer sense of humor. Chivalry is really not dead. I'm a victim of minor vertigo and a serious lead foot. Always up for meeting people from paths different than mine and crossing paths with old friends. At the very end of it all, I want to be able to look back and say: Yeah, I sure lived a damn good life.

The Virgins Remixed by RAC

Andre Allen Anjos, from RAC (Remix Artist Collective), sent me a zshare to his phenomenal, sexy remix of The Virgins' "Rich Girls".

Click here to check the track out, which I highly suggest you do.

For more info on RAC or to follow Anjos (originally from Portugal, but now stateside) and his collective co-horts of Andrew Maury from New York, Chris Angelovski (aka. Crookram) of the Netherlands, Aaron Jasinski from Seattle and Akutou (nee Tom Pereira, RAC's new artistic director), clickity-click here for their website.

They remix everything from Ra Ra Riot to The Pipettes to Tegan & Sara to Au Revoir Simone to the Bloc Party to The Shins to The Cloud Room to Tokyo Police Club to Kenna to Radiohead.

Apart from RAC, Anjos has done original music work for HBO's Entourage, too, as well as has his own band called The Pragmatic.

So good.
