Back to Back! Northwest Indian College Wins National Basketball Title for Second Year in a Row
To say the Northwest Indian College (NWIC) men’s basketball team challenged itself this year is to put it mildly. The Eagles’ season was filled with games against much larger schools, including an NCAA Division I and Division II teams. The Eagles, who represent the only tribal college in Washington and Idaho, took on those large competitors with the hope that the games would prepare them for the tribal college basketball competition of the year: the American Indian Higher Education Consortium (AIHEC) national basketball tournament.

Great interview with the iconic director Quentin Tarantino. Yes, the articles in Playboy really are good!!!
This might just be one of my favourite posts I have ever made on tumblr. All of us have secrets we wish to keep secret in order to protect ourselves from judgement or teasing but New Orleans-based artist Candy Chang found a way to give people the opportunity to share their thoughts without having to feel vulnerable to the outside world. Her installation, entitled Confessions, is a public art project that took place in The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas, Nevada. For one month, Chang lived in Vegas and turned the P3 Studio Gallery into an interactive exhibit. Visitors could stop by, enter a booth, write whatever thoughts they wanted to share, and drop the confession into a box that mixed anonymously with other slips. Chang then took the anonymous slips and displayed them on the walls, painting selected responses in white against a larger red canvas background.
Throughout the exhibit, the shocking reality of a person’s true secrets are fascinating to read. Some of my favourites can be found in this photoset like:”I’ve been best man to two guys I used to sleep with who went on to marry women”; “My best friend beat a man to death when we were 15. Never told anyone. Still hurts.”
Whoa!!

One of my BIGGEST style influences: Denise Huxtable! She’s the reason I made some of my clothes in high school (including denim chaps- the pants kind- urban cowgirl LOL and my prom dress) and love vintage, grunge, military influences, and androgeny in fashion. My closet is very random and all over the place, much like Lisa Bonet’s character Denise’s.
I also think growing up watching her since I was 3 years old is the reason I love natural hair (I relaxed my hair the first time at age 12 then wore it natural from age 14 all through my early 20s, then I wore locs for years) and short, funky hairstyles (my hair now).
Denise Huxtable, my personal style icon.
