Icon // Winter Icon San Jose - L.J. Larot

Icon San Jose 2014

It was a very great turn out Pa, Tray and I didn't expect much from just going to the mall and meeting people. We honestly were expecting three people to show up and say hi. On what turned out it was the total opposite. It was amazing to see how many people came through to meet Pa and even me and Tray.

Jabbawockeez & 3MUSKEEZ (Dance Workshop) - L.J. Larot

The Jabbawockeez is a world wide known dance crew infamous for their white mask the wear while the perform. To me wearing the mask makes them a whole, an actual crew. It makes you focus on the whole picture not your favorite person, like when you watch a different dance crew. Not many people know who create the Jabbawockeez. No one really did in my opinion but the 3MUSKEEZ is the reason why I think it was created. This crew consisted of Phil (SB : SwaggerBoy) , Kevin (KB) and Joe (Punkee : emaJOEnation). 

To learn from the original member and as I know the creators of the Jabbawockeez is very mind blowing to me. The reason why I know of them and a lot is because Joe Larot is my uncle. I don't like telling a lot of people because they always bother my for many various thing about it. Same thing like why I don't tell people I own TEAM Clothing, its because they'll try to ask for free stuff and etc...Back onto topic I had the chance to film and take the classes for the workshop. We learned their set from World of Dance. It was very different from regular choreography I learn usually. It's very different in a good way though. Overall though it was a very nice experience and hopefully to make another post to update you guys on more information and maybe a video.

Rainy Days - L.J. Larot

The weather here in Sacramento is very very...VERY bipolar. One day it's all sunshine and hot then the next it's cold and raining. This specific week it's raining the weather is bad right of now. Winds are estimated to be around 60MPH so I was surprised to here that. It's literally raining sideways. I also heard San Francisco was bad and the Bay Area. So overall everyone stay safe and don't be those people who love the rain and stay outside...you'll get sick.

Donut Judge My Dog

My dog is so weird.

My friend and I were about to leave for a party, until Javier asked about the donut in my room. I told him to toss it to me and he did. While he tossed it my dog walked into the room and barked at him while he did. All of a sudden once I got the donut he put his head through it and I snapped a picture because he wanted a donut neck brace I guess...

Old TEAM Photos

The pictures I take now and back then haven't changed as much. I feel like it had personally not just because I don't take much anymore but, it doesn't look like fun anymore. I want to get back into the fun photos and how random it was to take them. Other than that here are the first few picture I took for TEAM featuring Coco, Justin, DJ, Lynn and Gavin.

Lucky Charms and Grids

Yeah, so I had to leave the house quickly to got to some like thrift shop and I was hungry to I made a bowl of cereal before I left. I also brought my camera and snapped a picture of it and it came out pretty cool to me.

We were supposed to meet up with some lady to buy some grids for a wall. Its for and upcoming event on the 24th in San Jose. The grids will be used for hanging up clothes and hats and stuff. We usually just hang things up on our canape but the event is inside this time so the grids are going to be needed. Back onto meeting the lady...SHE NEVER SHOWED UP.

Here are the rest of the pictures I snapped today.

JABBAWOCKEEZ | Show // Wedding

Jabbawockeez...

It was nice seeing their show about a week ago. They have a bigger cast and every time I go you always find something new. It not like any other dance crew you'll see. I also got a chance to watch them at a wedding. One of them were the ones getting married and he had a solo piece. It was very cute...he made his bride cry *joyfully* 

Las Vegas Trip // Press P.L.A.Y. // Jabbawockeez // Part 1

This week we went to Las Vegas for a wedding. Other than that It was a very fun expirience. The wedding for was my uncle in the Jabbawockeez, Joe Larot aka Punkee. He got married to my new aunt Sophia aka Ning. It was a very beautiful wedding to attend. 

At the wedding Press P.L.A.Y. and Jabbawockeez preformed.

Shaun Evaristo Workshop // SF Adventure

Super fun time going down to the Bay Area to take a dance workshop by the legendary Shaun Evaristo. Knowing he is one of the pioneers of the way most people dance is very humbling to know 

Lj Larot and Shaun Evaristo

After the class a group us went venturing over SF. Overall the expirience was nice an we ended up with nice pictures and ideas. We got to just vibe off each other and do things that we haven't done. 

"Zero Gravity"

I got inspired to take "Zero Gravity" photos from the people I follow on Instgram. One of the main people is Fabio ( Instagram - @fvbstio_xcv )

Creativity through LEGOs and Minecraft?

Everything is awesome!

Growing up as a kid all I pretty much played with was LEGOs. After watching the Star Wars Movies I just really wanted to reanact everything all the sets of LEGOs I had for Star Wars. As I got older I let LEGO's be my canvis to my creativity. It was fun to make my own things and claim it as my own creation. 

Once I found about a game called Minecraft my creative process just like blew up as a middle schooler. That's when I got into making angles, with angle made houses. Learning how to make houses in Minecraft and make it look good on the outside..is when I started to research and make things from real life interior design and implement it into minecraft. 

I was really into making things modern and very realistic, I was featured on many building teams and server. Also featured on some music videos along with the teams. Overall it just brought out my creativity and fun out of making things.

That's how some of my creativity started...how did yours are how are you inspired? I want to know! Go to my ask.fm and tell me! ask.fm/theonlylj or e-mail me a response.

WOD ( World of Dance ) Vending/Experience

Vending at World of Dance. It was a very good expirience on doing this event since dance is something we're really close to and affiliated with. Knowing we were vending along with brands such as Jabbawockeez, Lefflite, BWBE, and Kendama USA is very humbling to us.

It was also one of our first events vending for. So it was all or nothing on how to set-up our booth and etc. We honestly didn't know what to expect going into World of Dance. Overall it was a good expirience to be there and vend along with so many other amazing brands.
