CHANTAGOLD SPEAKS: January 2015

http://chantagoldspeaks.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html

Tuesday, January 6, 2015. A Song of Ice(land) and Fire. A photo posted by chantal strasburger (@chantagold). Dec 12, 2014 at 7:54am PST. Here are a few more snapshots of the Viking land. Thrift shopping with Selina at the must-visit Spuutnik. In Reykjavik. Don't worry, I bought the coat. Trolling the town's local music scene. The fam loved this band- def check them out: 1860. Not the best picture ever but insanely mesmerizing in person. An example of a waterfall you would not want to fall into.

CHANTAGOLD SPEAKS: Iceland! A Retrospective

http://chantagoldspeaks.blogspot.com/2015/07/iceland-retrospective.html

Wednesday, July 29, 2015. Way back when, my family spent a few days in Iceland between Christmas/ Beyoncé visiting. And the New Year. And as has now become family tradition, I filmed the trip to add to the growing collection of Strasburger trip movie memorabilia (a concept which I have discussed at length here. Just a few months later (okay, seven), I've finally got around to editing it! PS Stay tuned for the India video! But maybe don't hold your breath. November 7, 2015 at 6:55 AM. Hip Hop Art = Fly Art.

SORRY this is a bit late —. Due to a busy holiday season and travel plans (writing this from London- cheers! I was a tad behind deadline. But better late than never, no? Pet Portraits, $60. When they can't take their beloved dog Prada to college with them, hang this on the wall for the next best thing (almost). Arrow Studs, $16. To in...

CHANTAGOLD SPEAKS: The Slow, Steady, and Tragic Decline of the Man Bun

http://chantagoldspeaks.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-slow-steady-and-tragic-decline-of.html

Thursday, May 21, 2015. The Slow, Steady, and Tragic Decline of the Man Bun. The movement started with a faint whisper —. With mock nonchalance and heightened self-awareness. However, when the top knot started appearing in the most mundane of settings —. A fast food commercial here, a Forever 21 ad there —there was no denying it: The man bun had gone mainstream. They could be spotted on subway cars, at the Met, in Trader Joe's. Confirmed that 63% of women now despise the man bun trend. U revoir man buns.

Thursday, March 26, 2015. The L Train; or, Why Some People Choose Not to Live in NYC. A photo posted by chantal strasburger (@chantagold). Jul 18, 2014 at 8:47am PDT. Today I'm going to write about what's currently on my mind: public transportation. Sexy, eh? Right Except also very wrong. Let me explain how this route goes down IRL (and why I no longer take it). 6:30am: Alarm goes off. I lace up my sneaks and head to the gym for an early morning sweat sesh. 9:05: The first train comes to a stop. It i...

CHANTAGOLD SPEAKS: Keep On Keepin' On

http://chantagoldspeaks.blogspot.com/2014/10/keep-on-keepin-on.html

Tuesday, October 28, 2014. Keep On Keepin' On. This past weekend a few friends and I bundled up in a rented Jeep and made our way upstate to the beautiful Catskills. We airbnbd (verb? A little house smack dab in the woods and did our best to pretend we didn't live in the most populated city in the United States that also happens to have recently come down with a slight touch of Ebola. I decided to take a little footage and make a short film because you're not really truly. Isn't that what Thoreau said?

CHANTAGOLD SPEAKS: Brazil + the World Cup!

http://chantagoldspeaks.blogspot.com/2014/12/brazil-world-cup.html

Wednesday, December 3, 2014. Brazil the World Cup! Even the culture of picture- taking. But I now have a (hopefully growing.) collection of videos from trips around the world. The first one I made was for my dissertation on my textile research grant in Southeast Asia. Followed by a family trip to Cuba. With my friends, and now (drumroll, please): the World Cup in Brazil! The only sport-watching I do all year…. Check out the video below and try to forget about the depressingly cold weather outside. The La...

CHANTAGOLD SPEAKS: June 2015

http://chantagoldspeaks.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html

Tuesday, June 9, 2015. How to Dress for Gov Ball (IMHO). A photo posted by chantal strasburger (@chantagold). Jun 5, 2015 at 2:51pm PDT. When I first moved to NYC, my city-savvy friends convinced me to invest in a ticket, and I naively showed up to the scene in what I deemed appropriate festival wear: rain boots for the rain —. What else would you need? The sky is the limit when it comes to risk-taking at a music festival, so why not take advantage of the three days of trend freedom? In trying something ...
