Moby – Wait For Me from Sam Morrill on Vimeo.

Honestly the only thing I know about Moby is that Eminem mentions him in one of his songs, but as I was doing some research for the beloved DIMEX brand I stumbled upon this video by Sam Morrill for the song “Wait for me” by Moby. It’s about a Norteño band called Los Alegres Del Sur that plays for money inside of New York Subway trains as a way to earn their daily bread and hopefully be spotted by an international record label to be signed one day. Once again imagery like this is what makes DIMEX generate it’s meaning. Que es DIMEX? Watch this video and try to understand the daily hustle these guys have to go through by doing what they love, and you’ll get your answer. Saludos.

PS: I must make it, I would love to live this parade in person. Photos and video won’t do it justice.

Hello all this is Lucio, the DIMEX intern, I asked Christian about starting a picture of the week on the blog. He agreed. From now on, starting today, I will post a picture about anything related to the DIMEX brand.

And what better way to start off the Picture of the Week than the man behind DIMEX:

Christian Vidauarrazaga, 26, is the owner of DIMEX.
DIMEX is a clothing line he started in 2007 and began selling his tee shirts online. Now he has a store located near downtown Pomona on 152 W. Holt Ave. The store opened April 24, 2010.

“Its going slow,” said Vidauarrazaga “but its slowly picking up.”

Hello everyone, this is Lucio Villa the new intern for DIMEX. Let me tell you a little bit about me: I grew up in the city of Compton, CA and moved here to Pomona, CA for school. My passion is photography and multimedia. I love to travel and I always carry along my camera everywhere I go. Check out my photo blog at http://www.luciovilla.wordpress.com. Here at DIMEX I will be helping out with the photography, of course, creating designs for the web and help market the clothing line. I am glad to be a part of DIMEX and I know I will have fun and learn a lot from this company. Paz.

Our “Playera Of The Day” has to be “El Jaguar”, available for Men only at our online store and at our DIMEX store in Pomona, CA. Our “El Jaguar” Shirt is one of the original DIMEX designs, based on Mayan culture the “El Jaguar” shirt has been one of our most popular “Playeras” that’s why it has made it into our “Playera of the day”.

I’m a huge Vinyl toys fan and have set out on a journey aside from my artwork and clothing line to someday produce some vinyl toys for the collectors that appreciate the DIMEX work. Working in the toy industry opened up the doors to new challenges and new goals and I am willing to continue that journey until I see a full line of collectible toys done right.

Hola y buenos dias. Today we start with ” Dicho Del Friday” a section every Friday that will share different common sayings traditionally used. “Al mal tiempo, buena cara” is today s saying and it means that even in bad times or sad situations always keep you head up, never give up or let anything beat you, keep motivated to move forward in accomplishing your goals. In other words stay positive no matter what life gives you. Suave and have a safe 4th of July weekend.

The 4-meter (13-foot) long carving of Tlaltecuhtli (tlahl-tay-KOO-tlee) was found in 2006 near the edge of the Templo Mayor pyramid in downtown Mexico City. It was lifted out in 2007 and archaeologists began digging underneath.

On Wednesday, the huge stone monument was put on display for reporters before its first public exhibition. The sculpture itself challenges the public perception of Aztec monuments as bare stone-colored carvings, because it preserves a half-dozen original colors in which it was originally painted, including rich ochre, red, yellow and blue hues.

Archaeologist Leonardo Lopez Lujan said the presence of shells from distant seas, gold earrings and collars as well as strange wooden daggers found under the slab suggest that a very important person is buried nearby.

“These are offerings that we have never seen before, and obviously they give us very good indications that at some point we can find a royal tomb,” Lopez Lujan said.

The offerings — dedicated to gods, not rulers — are from such far-flung corners of the continent that “they are telling us we are dealing with a big, big empire,” he said.

Historical records from the time of Spain’s 1521 conquest and markings on the Tlaltecuhtli slab suggest the Aztec emperor Ahuizotl, who died in 1502, was cremated and his ashes buried somewhere at the foot of the Templo Mayor pyramid.

Researchers originally thought the tomb might lie directly below the slab. But with only about 2 meters (6 1/2 feet) left to dig downward in 12.5-meter (41-foot) deep pits excavated since 2007, Lujan said researchers plan to dig a lateral tunnel 5 meters (16.4 feet) to the west, to see if they can find the cremated remains of Ahuizotl or his predecessors.

They would like to go farther with lateral excavations, but the water-soaked, unstable soil — and the possibility of damaging valuable, colonial-era buildings that still stand around the site — make that impossible. Radar and other images suggest soil disturbances near the current pit, but Lopez Lujan said those could be naturally caused.

Archaeologists have been looking for the tombs of the Aztec emperors for decades. Unlike the sepulcher of Mayan leaders, no Aztec royal burial site has ever been found.

Depicted as a woman with huge claws and a stream of blood flowing into her mouth as she squats to give birth, Tlaltecuhtli was believed to devour the dead and then give them new life. The god was so fearsome that Aztecs normally buried her depictions face down in the earth. However, this one was face-up.

In the claw of her right foot, the god holds a rabbit and 10 dots, indicating the date “10 Rabbit” — 1502, the year of Ahuizotl’s death.

“What better monument for a funerary area … than a goddess who devours the dead,” Lopez Lujan said.

While the exhibition is dedicated to Moctezuma II — the last Aztec emperor, who took over from Ahuizotl and was defeated by the Spanish — the excavation is unlikely to shed any light on where his ashes lie.

Lopez Lujan said some versions say that while Moctezuma was cremated, his ashes may have been mixed with water and drunk by his subjects.

This Shaman costumes are awesome, see this is what I mean inspirational. “Miralos Pues”.

Honestly Mexican candy is the best, the flavors, the spices, the chile, the tamarindo, it’s just a candy that once you eat one of them you can’t stop eating.  If there’s a bag in front of you right now you will not be done until it’s all gone.  That’s what I call the Mexican candy effect.  In Mexico there’s dudes walking around with lots of crazy selections of candy, from dried fruits dipped in chili powder to gummy worms, dried shrimps, etc. all crammed in this little platic bag.

Then there’s the Bubbaloo Gum, an explosion of fruitful flavors once you bite into them.

Lucas Gusano, the tangiest flavorful liquid.

This is a video by Takayuki Akachi of a girl traveling the world in her Levi’s.

I’m not a huge fan of the Captain America comic book but when I saw the image released sometime last month I was super excited about how the whole movie is going to get put together. The First Avenger looks sick with it’s altered costume, a more modern stab at it I say. “Esta Perron El Traje, No?”. Saludos.
