I can still feel the effects of last weekend’s Festival (The Flaming Lips show) has had on my body. This past week I have been feeling like a Grandma. Grandma meln. Here are some images I captured. Can’t wait to start shooting The Sled Island Festival this weekend. Im outta here. Gotta go put on a pretty dress!
This is my dear friend I met at the festival. He thought my dress was an Indian dress he had such a sweet heart… I had to push the button and take a photo of him. The lighting is magical because he is magical.
When the Virgin Music Festival was announced a few months ago naturally I was only stoked to see that The Flaming Lips were coming to Calgary. The festival was held in the beautiful historic Fort Calgary. The show has honestly changed my life. It was almost like the dream I dream every night. So familiar. The introduction was magical… this is how it went down in my mind. They intro the music. The beautiful and electric Wayne Coyne comes out on stage in a giant bubble and walks onto the crowd as they are lifting him from their feeble arms. Suddenly 15 medium sized balloons are released into the air like beach balls flying but going so much slower of a pace. Giant cannons shoot out yellow and orange confetti creating a sea of magical energy. Than all of a sudden when you think you’ve seen it all a group of 37 Teletubies come dancing onto the stage. That has got to be the best introduction I have ever seen of a band.
Just the perfect way to celebrate the Summer Solstice! Thank you Lips *MELNCOLY LOVES YOU!
Luckily for you I captured my favorite song of theirs with my camera. Here is the song YOSHIMI Battles The Pink Robots… enjoy.
I became familiar with Brett Westfall about two years ago now. He is a multi talented designer based out of the City of Lost Angels. He is not only a talented clothing designer he is also a print artist. His bio runs so deep (I highly suggest reading it). He has even worked with Lady Rei / Comme des Garcons. Just the nicest guy.
If my world were perfect I would exclusively only wear Brett’s masterpiece’s!!! I want the whole collection! His current collection is entitled ”reversal of nature”. I am defiantly hitting the gentleman up for an order!
Please support him and check out his website he is a true artist and genius!

Melncoly did a new photo shoot with Tyler Stalman on Tuesday evening. I am really happy how they turned out. The photographs are for a new and exciting project that I have been working on for almost a full year now. The press release will be out later this year! Until then my lips are sealed. Stay close.
