"When was the last time you were at a wedding that had a death defying hike, rogue waves, a luau, ultimate fighting, a presidential candidate and a budding bromance?" asks Papi Chulo. For most of us, the answer is never, but luckily, Papi Chulo and Secret Agent Scotch took the time to Vox all the amazing moments during their unforgettable Hawaiian wedding on 08.08.08 so we could all take part in the festivities.
The story began last February, when Papi Chulo popped the question and Secret Agent Scotch said yes! Since then, they've kept us in the loop about all the details, from the bride's veil to the wedding song to the final To-Do List. And throughout it all, they inspired us with their love for each other. (I'm pretty sure it doesn't get any better than knowing your future husband thinks you are The Perfect Girl.)
It's an amazing love story and we are thrilled they shared it with us. Watch the video of the ceremony and please join us in wishing Papi Chulo and Secret Agent Scotch the fairytale ending they deserve.
And What's a Team Vox Post without New Themes?
Spice up your Vox blog with one of our latest themes (found in the design area under "New") or any of our hundreds of themes. From shopping to sushi, comics to cycling, there's something for everyone.
Can't get enough of the wedding? A few lucky Voxers - Krissy, djchall, and Beau Smith - made the trip to Hawaii to take part in the celebration. Check out their Vox blogs for more pictures and stories.
Congratulations again to Secret Agent Scotch and Papi Chulo! Enjoy the Honeymoon!
Two random pickins from my music library. The first, a cover of Tim & Eric's song Wipe My Butt, covered by The Shins. Be sure to listen through to the end of the song, where the band starts to improvize. It's c-l-a-s-s-y. The second, Guns of Brooklyn by Santogold, a single from the Diplo/Santogold mixtape, which is dub-tastic. Enjoi!
At Vox, we believe that change is a good thing. After all, you wouldn't wear the same t-shirt day in and day out, so why should your blog have to suffer the same fate? Give your blog a new look with one of our latest themes (found under "New"), or pick from any of our hundreds of themes designed with your passions and personality in mind.
Until then... Enjoy!

I've recently been able to get my hands on a CPK for myself and it arrived at my doorstep (so to speak, since I have a po box...lol) yesterday. I have to say I was really excited when I opened it up and looked at the little guy! Very nicely cast... I'll have to post pics of the thing when I get a chance to take some. The features are really cool, and stand out nicely but yet are subtle enough that if one wants to work from a more clean slate, I would imagine sanding off the features could work to do that.
More to come!!!
I was checking out a Rihanna video today and glanced down at the comments (I should know better by now, but it's the whole "Fascination with the Abomination" thing) and saw this little gem:
Isn't she as much white as she is black? Turns out, she's from Barbados and of Guyanese descent. I realise that I'm treading touchy ground here, but as a person of "mixed descent" myself, I guess I'm more sensitive to these things. Maybe overly so. BUT. I think I have a point here and it's that she's no more black than white, but because she's apparently a little bit black, she's not white anymore? Maybe it's just a "white country" thing and in Africa, she's regarded as white. In Barbados, she's probably just Barbadian (or Bajan). In China, would they regard her as black? Possibly. If I go to China, I wonder if the natives would regard me as white or chinese...
This is stupid. I'm not sure what my point is anymore.
*sigh*

Ok posted just recently, an image of wave 2 of the CPK (Cell Phones Kill) series of DIY resin figures. They look pretty good to me, but the coolest part is they mention something about another surprise coming... hmmmm... also it looks like if you submit your designs, they'll start posting em on the blog! Who knows what else is coming...!?
Every now and again I see an outrageously well-done custom show up at Custom Toy Lab (CTL) and have to post about it here, so that none of you will miss out on the good artistry. :D The latest is a Labbit by Squidboy (aka Shawn Michael Evans). You can view more images on the CTL page (link). Also be sure to check out Squidboy's blog for more of his artistic oddities..
I just love the loose painted/doodled look of his designs. The child like doodles, the chunky painted colors all mixed up with the elaborately "stamped" lettering spelling out what seems to be "Jannie"... Just an awesome collage of colors and styles. Perfectly done, IMO.
