FOOD FOR THOUGHT

2009-03-03T14:42:00.003-05:00

YUME had a very surreal conversation the other day in reference to the growing number of growing opportunists in the ever changing community in Brooklyn today. Normally we focus more on the global spectrum of things (as YUME is all colors, shapes, and sizes) but we felt it necessary to hone in on this element of the local community at large.

"It is your resonsibility to utilize your skill and education to positively effect the community at large. If you are using your GOD given skill and aquired education for personal gain, then you are not helping to progress a generation of new minds in a time of true change."

This was a subsatntial quote made by one of our members as we debated all day about the state of Music, Art, Fashion, and the communities we effect. The conclusion we came up with (just because we were running out of time) is that in our general locale we have individuals who go under the cloak of conciousness, but still have not made their presence felt by the body of indivduals that are less "enlightened" then they are. We charge all of you to try your best to look outside of yourselves and truly make an impact on your respective communities by adopting 4-5 projects that truly change someones life.

1. Provide a better quality of living for those that may not have as much access to the way of life we take for granted
2. Truly give youth and teen an opportunity that would have not been available otherwise (access to a career, educational training, mentorship etc.)
3. Utilize your small company to make a viable stance in the community for an issue that you see causes a disconnect between the masses (Gentrification, homelessness, etc.)

Make money responsibly and remember that the company you keep sometimes may keep you from making a great company. This is a very subjective post, but its something that needs to be said.

As you know we'll be posting periodically, as we prepare for phase 2 of the YUME life cycle. YUME had a very interesting conversation with a group of men and women a couple days ago about the femininity that is found in the male species these days, this of course lead to an offshoot conversation of the lack of men in "innercity" (lol @ innercity) households today and a slew of other statistically driven ideas and arguments.

Here is a blog you should read, it offeres loads of info and speaks on topics outside of "getting fly" www.artofmanliness.com. An example of a great article from the site is below.

Interviewing in a Recession: How to Dress for a Job Interview in Hard Times

We are reminded daily that the economic outlook isn’t good; for those of us looking for work, it’s hard to imagine a worse scenario. Not only are there less jobs out there, the number and quality of people applying for them continues to rise. Interviews have gone from competitive to ultra-competitive.

This article deals with how to dress for a job interview. What you wear to an interview is important because it is a factor you can control, unlike other factors such as who will interview you or what questions will be asked. Not dressing appropriately is one of the most common ways job seekers shoot themselves in the foot; it immediately signals to the interviewer that you did not properly prepare and damages your chances for the position. In today’s ultracompetitive job market, why would you let something so simple get in your way?

Although focused on interviews that require a suit and tie, many of the tips and techniques translate into any situation in which you want to present yourself as a prime candidate for employment. These tips can stand alone if you are applying for an entry level position where only a button up shirt and nice slacks are required.

The Interview Suit

The good news is that the classical men’s suit style has remained the same for a hundred years. The bad news is that there are a lot of fashion suits out there that will become dated faster than you can purchase them. You need to ignore temporary fashion, and find what looks best on you. Remember three things when choosing a suit: Fit, Style, and Fabric.

Your Suit’s Fit
The majority of American men wear suits too large for them. The problem is a result of trying to fit into a garment made to fit as many men as possible. It is always a good investment to have anything bought off the rack adjusted by a competent tailor, but first you need to find one that comes close to fitting. When inspecting your suit’s fit, first ensure the chest and shoulders fit you snugly – you should have full freedom of movement with your arms and a few inches of room in the chest but not so tight as to form an “X” when buttoned. The jacket should be long enough to just cover your backside and not extend past your hand’s knuckles when your arms are held straight down. Ensure your sleeves show ½ inch of shirt cuff and that the jacket lapels lay flat on your chest. Finally there should be no bunching of fabric in the back near your neck ,and your jacket collar should show approximately ¾ of an inch of your shirt’s collar.

Your Suit’s Style
When it comes to interview suit style, go with a classic cut that is common in your country. In the United States, this is a single breasted, notched lapel, two or three button jacket with a single or double back vent and regular flap pockets. Ensure you have at least as many cuff buttons as you have front jacket buttons (four buttons on the sleeve is normal) and make sure you have a left breast pocket (on some trendy suits these are missing). Avoid patch pockets, peak lapels, and slanted side pockets (in the US) as all of these change the formality of the jacket and are best left to non-interview attire. Also pay close attention to the lapels; a trend right now is thin lapels, which if worn by a large man will make him look ridiculous. As for trousers, either flat or pleated slacks are fine, although pleated fronts are more formal and generally more comfortable. Cuffed bottoms look best on tall men while shorter men are advised to wear their trousers uncuffed; either is perfectly acceptable for an interview.

Your Suit’s Fabric
When selecting your suits fabric take into consideration its weave and color. Try to go with natural fibers, preferably worsted wool. If you choose a blend, ensure the synthetic fiber make-up is 40% or less. Although a blend may keep the price down, it will normally not last as long and may be less breathable. As to color choice, the safest selections are solids in navy blue, charcoal, and black. Although you can wear patterns such as pin stripes or colors such as brown or taupe, understand you will stand out.

The Dress Shirt

Again, focus on fit, style, and fabric. The dress shirt’s fit should be loose enough to allow a full range of movement but not so loose as to have excess fabric bunching up under the jacket. Your shirt should be long enough so that when you bend over, it does not un-tuck. You also want to be able to place two fingers in-between your neck and a buttoned collar – any more and it just looks too loose. Your cuffs should extend to the top of your hands, with approximately ½ inch of shirt cuff showing from under your jacket sleeve when your arms hang straight down. The cuff should not be too loose; you should have to unbutton it to remove it.

As for style, the collar type chosen should be based off of your facial structure. Men with long, thin faces look best in spread collars, while round faced men should look to even out their appearance with a point collar. Avoid button down collars in an interview, as they are the least formal. Normal barrel cuffs with one or two buttons are fine for interviews; avoid cufflinks unless you have the resume to back them up.

Your shirt’s fabric should be simple and non-flashy - white and blue solids are a staple and easy to find; those that desire more can transform these colors with a unique weave such as herringbone or oxford. Avoid colors such as lavender and pink and patterns such as checks, as they make an outfit less formal; stripes should only be worn if the wearer understands how to match patterns.

Your Tie

Interview ties should be conservative and made from silk. Solid or simple patterns in red, blue, or gold are all acceptable; however, a skilled dresser can often incorporate almost any non-attention grabbing color and pattern. Striped ties are a fine choice and come in a wide range of colors, but ensure the tie you choose is not sporting a regimental pattern. In the UK, memberships to military clubs and other groups are symbolized by certain ties. Wearing another man’s “Colors” can cause a confrontation and embarrassment. And unless it’s an interview over a meal, there is no reason to use a tie clip or pin (where it serves to hold a man’s tie in place). The key thing to remember is to keep it professional - avoid bright colors or designs that will draw undue attention.

Dress Shoes

Your shoes are the foundation of your outfit; do not skimp on this detail – they are as important as your suit. With that being said, anything well polished, dark, and not screaming “look at me!” will probably work in the US for an interview; in Europe they are generally more in tune to these details, so be careful. A plain or capped black oxford is always a safe choice; classic in nature, a quality pair will serve you well for years. Whichever shoes you choose, try to make sure they have round toes and closed lacing. By closed lacing, I mean that the two sides of the upper that are pulled together by the lacing are sewn under the front part of the shoe. A small detail, but it gives the foot a sleeker look and will ensure your shoe is the right choice for a suit. You should not wear slip-ons such as dress boots, loafers, or monkstraps, and avoid anything eccentric.

Hosiery

Your socks should match your slacks or shoes and be dark in color. The goal here is to not draw attention to your legs. This isn’t the time to sport the no sock/short sock look or try that new pair of flashy hosiery. If the socks are seen, they should appear to flow seamlessly between the shoes and trouser cuff. No White Socks!

Jewelry and the Interview

A wedding ring is always acceptable in an interview; anything else is fair game and left up to the interviewer’s personal views. I advise against wearing class rings or anything else on the fingers. As for watches, think less is more - keep it simple, understated, and please turn off the alarm. Although jewelry such as nose rings, eye piercings, and earrings have become more accepted in our society, these things are still considered out of the ordinary for many; you cannot wear something like this and not expect it to affect a person’s impression of you. Be yourself, but be aware of the consequences.

Grooming

Get a haircut a week before the interview and ensure they trim around your neck and ears – consider grooming these two areas again the day before. Pay attention to the details - your nails should be clean and cut, your face appropriately shaven, and your hair should have been washed within the last 24 hours. It’s not a date, so avoid cologne and be careful with the aftershave; sometimes interviews are held in small rooms and you do not want to overpower your interviewer’s olfactory system.

Preparation

You do not need to have your clothing dry cleaned, but everything you wear must be look and smell clean (no smoking around your interview clothing). Shirts should be ironed, shoes polished, and have a suit steamed to remove wrinkles. Have all of this done well in advance of the interview – saving this for the last minute is asking for trouble.

Remember This

Your interview attire will not get you a job – but failing to manage it can hurt your chances for a position. Your aim in dressing well is to present yourself in the best possible light throughout your interview. Wear clothing that fits, is made of quality material, and is appropriate for the interview. By doing these simple things you ensure the interviewer focuses on your skills and what you have to offer; not your appearance.

HOW TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN YOUR COMMUNITY NOW!

2009-01-26T08:58:00.003-05:00

Hey guys, if you've noticed our posts have gotten a little more cerebral, but it comes out of something grand and wonderful. This particular post looks to adress some comments that were held in our SPIT THAT! event this past Thursday (which happen every Thursday and in many ways is great food for the soul) which spoke to the ability for us (THE YUME community) to make a difference in today's world.

Here are some bullet points we took from the discussion to share with you:

Make tangible items that you can work on immediately
Lead by example or try your best to be the greatest example you can be
Do not feed into the system, make the system feed into you
Stop talking! DO SOMETHING!!
Believe in yourself and others will believe in you!!
BECOME A MENTOR (yumeuk@gmail.com)

It was a great discussion coupled with some great poetry, if you have never been to a WRITER'S BLOCK event or to the SPIT THAT! series, then you need to stop by it happens every Thursday.

A WORD FROM THE NEW REGIME

2009-01-21T09:40:00.003-05:00

So we got this e-mail from some of the YUME members who attended the Obama Inaugaration in a capacity some of us would kill to be in, but we are all one unit with unique skills, but a common goal. We figured we'd share it with you. It is quite inspiring, CHECK IT OUT.

"POST THIS TODAY!" (What a way to start off an e-mail huh?)

"Hey people, I know it has probably been crazy back home, but it is even crazier here. Pandimonium actualy. In the eve of this momentous time I figured I would write you guys an e-mail and have you post it online. We are quite the covert bunch but this is something people need to hear. Today I got the chance to shake a man's hand that will forever change the course of history. But as I reflected on this historical moment, I thought of a few things, YUME, how it began, what it has done so far, how much it has achieved in its short time in existence, how me and the other members got involved in it, blah blah blah.

Then I realized something, the word YUME means DREAM in Japanese, from the stories I have heard of the origins of how this word came to reperesent this movement, I now realize more than ever we truly have the power to change the current state of things for our generation and the one to follow. Now this might sound way too retrospective and like mindless cacauphony, but I promise it is not.

Since my emergence into "STREET WEAR" I have seen many things, I've gone to the parties, I've been in the offices, had the meetings. But truthfully I only felt a genuine love from a few. Now I know in business sincerity is scarce, but the culture of the streets has always been real, and in some cases a harsh reality for some.

We have companies sprouting every day and everyone says that the market is diluted. But lets look at the bigger picture. What is street wear? In my eyes I've always been a street wear head whether I wore an Obidient Sons shirt or a plain white t-shirt. The clothes do not define the movement or the man or woman leading the movement. Or does it? To the youth we work with at YUME it does. We see it all the time. Every kid is a gangsta, or they're all little Wayne or Kanye impersonators. The young ladies feel that their body is the key to a better life, and children at the age of 9 and 10 are having sex.

Of course we are not talking about upper middle class neighborhoods, or the upper crust of NYC. We're talking about the primary consumer of the "street wear culture." You call them the youth market, I call them the poor kids from the hood in cities like NYC. The swaggeristic blog posts and pictures of stupidity is only festering in the parts of the country where the youth are faced with a harsh reality, whether it be drugs, guns, poor education, no upward mobility, depression. I need not go on.

So what does that mean? Well clothing is the new crack, "the lifestyle brand" is the new heroin, and ladies and gentlemen CRACK IS BACK with a vengance. Too many irresponsible brands have decided to use their powers of influence to tell every kid "GO GET FLY" without really citing what else exists in the world. Now as a late 70s early 80s cat I know what it means to get fly, but the residual moral status quo existed from the prior years, The residual civil rights movement is an example of that, as it existed all through the 80s and birthed quie a few intellectually sound arguments in the shape of HIP HOP, GRAFFITI, etc.(which truly did not end until Obama won the nomination to run for President). Today there is no status quo.

YUME has and always will be a movement that pushes the limits, we are launching numerous projects that will allow our MUSIC, ART, and FASHION to do what we do best, re-route these efforts into supporting the community at large. And for all of you fools still peddling crack to the kids, OBAMA is not a fashion statement he is an inspiration, it is our job to PROGRESS A GENERATION of young lost minds. Make your money but do it responsibly, open up the other parts of your world so they can see how to become succesful, teach and re-educate their minds to understand its not all about getting fly. That clothing is one part of personal presentation.

Teach them that education is key (With the ever growing educational gap this is key),
Teach them the ills of marketing and advertising and how to maneuver around what theysee and hear so they can make better informed decisions.
Teach them not to buy into the "brand" unless they truly have a connection with the mantra or belief system
Teach them sometime you buy fly shit just to be fly, but really being fashionable is being succesful and true success is a gift that you must share by sharing your process with those that are lost or wavering
If you need help teaching we're good at this e-mail us yumeuk@gmail.com.

We all remember the days of collecting sneakers (I still do) and chasing women. But to actually sell the dream that being 40 years old, hitting the clubs every night and not being socially responsible for yourself or others is ok is a disgrace. Especially when you're doing it to kids who don't come from the same circumstances as most of the people creating these brands. Most of our meetings with the members are these conversations of progressing a generation through these tough times with MUSIC, ART, FASHION, AND COMMUNITY, with a strong emphasis on community. Though most of us come from the oppoiste side of the fence, we know the "target market" alot better than most. We hear about their woes, and their concerns. We see them go home content with the fact they may die tommorow. We will not stand to watch them be further corrupted by the "lifestyle brand." We will stay true and hold fast to our beliefs as we always have.

But we will no longer associate ourselves with any company that is not about raising the status quo and Progressing a generation of new thinkers. OBAMA said YES WE CAN! Now it is up to us to make sure we do.

LIVE YUME: BECOME TIMELESS

BLOW OUT SAMPLE SALE!

2008-12-19T10:38:00.000-05:00

WOW!

2008-12-16T15:58:00.002-05:00

So we have neglected the blog for a couple of days, YUME is always busy and so are its many members. But we figured we'd take the time to write an apology blog. So we have made it back to NYC we were in a few different places but NEW ORLEANS was by far one of the most important stops. Politics, Art, Fashion, Music, and Community were all important things on the agenda.

As we catch our breath make sure you stop by Thursday December 18th for THE WRITER'S BLOCK event which will be taking place at THE BOWERY POETRY CLUB, Where YUME's DJ CHARLIE BROWNE will be breaking down the 1s and 2s alongside MELO - X.

FYI : THERE WILL BE NO YUME NEW YEARS PARTY THIS YEAR, we have decided to prepare for the New Year in a different fashion, but we do look forward to seeing you guys in the coming year.

“The Buddha Dharma is nowhere remote. It is close to us, in our hearts. Suchness is nowhere external. If not within our bodies, where can it be found?”
- Secret Key to the Heart Sutra by Kukai, Founder of Japanese Shingon Buddhism

Meet shapeshifter LOTUSHEART and become part of her journey to discover the Hidden Flower guarded carefully by the Challenger. On her magical journey, she encounters new, as well as old friends such as HARAKITI, who help her to visualize the glowing blossom of the Flower.

“This show is the fruit of numerous all-night-till-the-sun-rise painting sessions of the last two months, many of them spent with fellow artists who labored with me, kept me inspired and helped me to sharpen my vision. Taking the Japanese samurai and ninja tradition as a visual reference, I have tried to illustrate a number of spiritual concepts I have been meditating on for years and place them in a dreamlike setting of love and chivalry. I also wanted to make this solo show into an opportunity to honor my friends -my Brooklyn fam- by inviting them to be part of this fantasy heartland of lovers and secret monk-warriors that we created as we were preparing for the show.” Lichiban

The star of the night was Jazmine Sullivan, with her wonderful personality and beautiful voice she won over the crowd very easilly.
Our 3 brand ambassadors really went out and represented for YUME. (Tara, Adele, and Mike, did their thing)

Thanks goes to Allison for being beautiful and wearing that outfit like no one else could. (We love your last name lol)
Thanks goes to Steve for letting us pick your brain for a few, we hope to build a succesful brand like yours.
Thanks to Jazmine, you're wonderful and we can't wait to get you on that YUME X C.J. BROWNE (www.myspace.com/itzcharliebrowne) Mixtape project.

So we were lucky enough to sit in the studio with C.J. BROWNE last night as he worked on the up and coming YUME:TIMELESS project which we are super exited about. We actually came across a song that we actually love, love, love and we wanted you to take a listen. It's a remix of Kanye West's flashing lights done by none other than the unsung hero Collin Munroe www.myspace.com/colinmunroe and YUME Music's C.J. Browne. Make sure you peep it out at www.myspace.com/itzcharliebrowne.

PEACEBOAT.ORG

2008-09-24T14:45:00.002-04:00

A very wonderful friend of YUME is doing something amazing. They are on a boat that promotes piece throughout the world called THE PEACE BOAT. We got an amazing e-mail from her and wanted to share that with you, after all YUME is all about living new and wonderful things. Check out what she wrote below, we can't wait to get the pictures.

YOU MAY (YUME)

"....Getting on to what is happening in my life now…so at the end of July I finished my teaching contract and returned to New York for approximately three weeks. I apologize if I didn't get to see or speak to you while I was home. All I wanted to do was sleep and eat… and when I finished doing that it was time for me to leave. Leave to go where you might ask? Well back to Japan of course. For what you say? Well I got another job. What kind of job you say?..Well I am teaching English of course. That is what most foreigners in Japan do (or the military)....However I am currently not in Japan. I got a job with a really amazing Japanese NGO called Peace Boat (Peaceboat.org). Peace Boat works to promote peace, human rights, equal and sustainable development and respect for the environment. They do this by organizing responsible tourism cruises that literally go around the world. At each port there are opportunities to engage in cultural exchange with the local community. Our first stop was Vietnam and I spent the day at a home for street children. This experience was very exciting and very humbling for me. It really reminded me of how fortunate I am to have people who love and care about me. It also made me more grateful for all the resources I have access to. In addition to the ports, life on Peace boat is pretty amazing. Just walking around you can find people doing a variety of things, such as meditating, playing instruments, making paper cranes, playing basketball, dancing to hip hop and/or discussing what the word Peace really means. It is brilliant! People young and old coming together. Everyone on the ship is pretty much Japanese except for most of the staff. I, however, am the only African American on the ship so people come to me with a lot interest and questions about my culture. The interest has been so great I have decided to do a jishukikaku (self-planned event in Japanese) called Ask Me Anything. At this event I am inviting all those interested to come and ask me any questions they want in a safe and non-judgmental space. Hopefully it will help passengers to become more aware of who I am and what I am about.

So far I have found life on the boat to be more amazing than the ports. Everyday I get to interact with some of the most interesting people. On board the ship there are one hundred survivors of the Atomic bomb from Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I often find myself sitting with them at lunch or dinner having the most incredible conversations. I have also had the opportunity to kick it with youth from Vietnam who are second generation victims of Agent Orange (a chemical used by American during the Vietnam War). Everyday I learn something new living on this ship and I hope to learn so much more over the next three months. Oh yeah if I didn't say that already, I will be traveling on this ship for the next three months. Some of the highlighted places I am going are Singapore (which is where I am now), Egypt, Turkey, Greece, Spain, Chile, Tahiti, and Australia. Once I get a moment to actually breath I will try to send a more comprehensive update about my life on board and my adventures at different ports, with pictures. Unfortunately the internet access onboard is severely limited so my ability to communicate is also limited. But never fear, I will try my best to update you as often as possible. "
