Tell Me What You Like About Being Free

2011-01-05T23:38:00.000-08:00

there is nothing more important to me than to maintain a sense of freedom.
my heart just breaks at the thought of those who have none.
people in other countries without a voice.
people trapped in relationships with no easy way out.
jobs that hold us back.
choices that stagnate us....

i understand. i know what it feels like.
i think that's why i've always beed so obsessed with maintaining a sense of freedom all my own.
my windows are always open and ready for me to fly freely out of.

tell me what you like about being free.
tell me what you aim to set yourself free from.
tell me what you would do if you had no boundaries at all.

the gypcee wants to know.....

A Change Is Gonna Come

2010-02-27T22:01:00.000-08:00

Getting ready to move....and go thru my storage with about 15 years worth of Gypcee'n out :)
I've got some incredible finds coming soon for you all.......
stay tuned ~ gypcee

NATURAL SELF
Natural Self is the ongoing project of Nathaniel Pearn, aka producer Keno-1. Straight from
Brighton, UK, anyone familiar with the forward-thinking producer's dazzling way with a beat will
testify that an instinctive, bold use of rhythm has always been at the very core of his music.
The characteristic combination of raw drums, polyrhythmic percussion and strident horns would
become a signature style of the many remixes,singles and albums he has released - which includes
collaborations with label mate Nostalgia 77, Quantic and soul singer Alice Russell. Natural Self's skills
as a DJ has him traveling increasingly across the UK and Europe and recently North America, as
his style incorporates Latin and African music alongside funk and hip hop. His new album on
Tru Thoughts - "My Heart Beats Like A Drum" has some of the best vocalists and in demand
session players around, creating his musical imprint and explosive sound!

group, Prince spent the summer touring in Europe and is back in the US for dates in California and
Arizona. Coming up is a performance with his full L.A. band at Zanzibar on Sunday, November

living in Los Angeles. His work as a painter and as a designer for the TIMBUCTU STATE line

The Journey now begins........

MUTCHLOVE HEMP:

Mutchlove Hemp brings the true artisan feel to all that she creates. As a batiking artist for over 20 years and an activist in legalizing hemp production in the states, Mutchlove Hemp designs beautifully incorporate the true feeling of freedom thru art. Each piece is handbatiked and dyed. ALL are made here in the US and everything is made from hemp, organic cotton and earth friendly dyes.

Her signature western batiked shirts are quickly becoming a staple item in many a hipsters wardrobe, they are fabulously comfy & wearable as they are righteously rocker cool. Her new home line (duvet covers, window panels) are AMAZINGLY unique

and unbelievably beautiful!

Launching 2009: Mutchlove Baby, Mutchlove Home, Mutchlove Swim

ART MEDICINE ADORNMENT:

Elise Kost's designs are beyond just jewelry. they are an experience. they are magic. love. energy. light. vibration.....and more. they are a piece of YOU - the wearer. the collector. the recipient.

While each piece is individually created with intention behind them, Elise brings her unique talent and incredible eye to

bring you a stunning collection of timeless pieces. If you are like any of us out there that have started wearing her pieces, you will also become like us, in that you anticipate each new unvieling, waiting to see what next piece is going to speak to

you, and become yours.....

This truly is ART MEDICINE ADORNMENT

LIVITY OUTERNATIONAL

There is something to be said about you when you are rockin LIVITY.

it says:

' i am conscious.'

' i am present'

' i am individual' and

'i am HERE, with YOU ~ as US'

From the moment you put one of their hats on, or sling a bag over your shoulder, LIVITY brings it's message right to you. To your soul.

As one of the most conscious companies I know of, Gypcee Trunk Show is proud to bring Livity's message of UNITY, RESPECT and HONOR directly to you. Using the most sustainable, organic, and eco-friendly textiles available, each piece represents what we should all be striving to be, outward and inward. ONE LOVE, Livity!

RECYCLED BLING

Able to see beyond what most of us do, artist and journeyman Scott O'Keefe takes what most of us would simply recycle and turns it into wearable art. Using some of the most interesting mediums he collects from his travels and journeys, he conveys thru his pieces stories of himself, of the past, the present, future, the lost and found, the hopeful and hopeless. Taking the term RECYCLE, REDUCE ,REUSE to a new level, he brings these fabulous little treasures to us and calls them Recycled Bling!
