Art, Cashmere Agency, grassroots marketingThe Boondocks are coming, the Boondocks are coming
Friday, February 26th, 2010
After taking a two year hiatus, creative and executive producer Aaron McGruder announced today on his Twitter (@aaronmcgruder) that the third season of The Boondocks will begin Sunday, May 2nd at 11:30 p.m. (ET/PT) on Adult Swim.
The first two seasons of the controversial series has already become an instant television classic. With its stinging social commentary, McGruder and Co. have raised the bar for comedy satire having taken aim at such topics as politics, movies, television, and, of course, Hip-Hop music.
If you haven’t jumped on the The Boondocks’ bandwagon already in anticipation of Season Three, check out some of hilarious clips below and get completely up to date with the series by watching full Season One and Season Two of The Boondocks over at AdultSwim.com.
Cashmere Gets First Look at God of War III
Thursday, February 25th, 2010
You’ll have to excuse us for a moment, Cashmere is still feeling a little giddy from experiencing arguably the greatest video game ever to be made: God of War III. To bring everyone up to speed, God of War III is series star Kratos’ –the mortal Spartan-turned-Greek-God– debut release for the PlayStation 3. After two hugely successful PlayStation 2 releases, Sony fittingly decided to conclude the trilogy on its super gaming console.
Cashmere had a chance to attend Sony’s God of War III event last night in Hollywood and of course get some hands-on playing time with it. This game is everything ‘next-gen’ gaming should be. Fluid , non-glitchy animation, tight controls, superb gameplay mechanics, and amazing CGI cut-scenes that beautifully showcased in rich 720p HD.
Seriously, it’s stunning what they’ve accomplished and when this game is released, this may be the game changer Sony’s been looking for to gain ground on rivals Microsoft (with their Xbox 360) and Nintendo (with the Wii).
Check out the trailer for God of War III below and get your copy Tuesday, March 16th.
New Balance Launches NewBalance365.com Project
Wednesday, February 24th, 2010
Kicking off their brand new site, for the next 365 days shoe company New Balance will be putting out a collection of short films to spotlight a different shoe from its new global spring/summer 2010 collection. This is a pretty interesting concept in regards to social media, especially coming from a shoe manufacturer. These days, any worthwhile social media related project has to include the ubiquitous iPhone app and true to form, New Balance has created one as well to keep consumers engaged and “balanced”.
iPhone apps are cool and all, however New Balance 365 has taken their app a step further. Not only can you watch the each daily NewBalance365.com video through your iPhone, the app also acts as an alarm clock that will wake you up with something new and different every day, providing users with a daily dose of “balance”. It even records your sleeping habits so you can compare them with the sleeping habits of the rest of the world.
It’s actually quite interesting once you start looking at the graphs covering demos like “Oversleepers”, “Late Risers vs. Early Risers” and “Sleep Worldwide” on their website. It’s good to know that the majority of the world is awake right now with, you know, sleep being the cousin of death and all.
Check out their launch video below and head over to NewBalance365.com to see all of their previous daily videos.
Hip-Hop & Soap Operas
Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010
Hip-Hop and Soap Operas, we know, run in two different worlds. However, is it frowned upon for a music artist, specifically in the Hip-Hop industry, to delve into all things entertainment? Well, one such individual seems to reap success in all his entertainment endeavors despite what people think.
Yes, the homie, Big Snoopy D-O, scores again! From Martha Stewart and the Stock Exchange to making guest appearances on daytime soap One Life to Live, the 36 year-old rapper alludes to the statement “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!”
One Life to Live has been a renowned staple of daytime television for over 40 years, with the character Bo, played by actor Robert S. Woods, being a favorite Snoop’s. Tomorrow, Snoop will make his second appearance on the show, once again playing himself (or a close of enough version) and perform his hit single, “I Wanna Rock”, from his recently released album, Malice N Wonderland.
Check out Snoop Dogg on One Life to Live tomorrow and click on the picture below to watch Snoop’s previous guest spot on the soap opera.

In celebration of its new West Coast store opening, popular boutique store Mishka is hosting a giant bash tomorrow at The Echoplex in Echo Park. Mishka is home to many unique clothing apparel, accessories, gadgets and toys from independent designers and artists. Their new Echo Park store is going to serve as a perfect reflection of the neighborhood’s budding artistic and fashion-forward community.
And what would a grand opening be without a proper party to follow the momentous event? Mishka brought in L.A.’s very own Dubstep king, 12th Planet to kick off the festivities after the opening reception. Also performing will be rapper Rass Kass alongside Franki Chan, Killing Spree and bands Wavves, Best Coast and The Franks. Should be a dope event!
The grand opening starts at 12 noon with in-store exclusives followed by an opening reception from 7 – 9pm. For more information about the party, visit Mishkanyc.com.
Cashmere Attends The Color Purple Opening Night
Thursday, February 18th, 2010
Since its release in 1982, The Color Purple has been more than just a story ingrained in the African-American community, it has become a heart-wrenching theme and testimony of hardship, isolation, abuse AND triumph embraced by all communities worldwide!
Beginning its journey as a novel, The Color Purple garnered a Pulitzer Prize for author Alice Walker a year later, before being adapted into a feature film directed by Steven Spielberg in 1985. Both mediums have been powerful in impact, but the musical, produced and presented by Oprah Winfrey, has definitely developed its own notoriety, garnering widespread inspiration and influence.
Our very own Misty Anderson had the opportunity to attend the Los Angeles opening night at the Pantages Theatre. Media was out in numbers as flashing lights and microphones were everywhere, so you know celebrities weren’t too far behind. Heavyweights like Arsenio Hall, Chaka Khan, Clifton Powell, Quincy Jones, and more were enthusiastic to bypass all the red carpet festivities to get inside, and by play’s end, she understood why.
During this North American tour of the play, American Idol Winner Fantasia Barrino is reprising her role as lead character Celie. Her voice blazed the ears of all in attendance, serving as a form of therapy for whatever issues the audience came there with it by taking them on an emotional roller coaster of laughter and tears with her powerful performance. In the end, you learned many great life lessons from songs like “I Am Beautiful”, “I’m Here” and “Dear God”.
If you haven’t done so, Cashmere highly recommends you check out this play that paramount the topics of forgiveness and love. The Color Purple will be at the Pantages until February 28th. For more information regarding the tour, storyline, and the all-star cast, visit ColorPurple.com
Snoop Knows the Power of the Dark Side!
Wednesday, February 17th, 2010
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far… Oh wait, hold up! Actually, it wasn’t that long ago and it happened in place that wasn’t particularly far away. By now you’ve seen the video of Snoop Dogg and Sith Lord Darth Vader leading an army of Stormtroopers through the streets of New York to promote the new line of Adidas Star Wars Collection apparel and sneakers. But Cashmere was able to get a hold of exclusive footage of all the behind-the-scenes happenings during Snoop’s imperial march through the Big Apple.
Was all peaceful at the end of the day? Did Yoda come through and cop a pair of Luke Skywalker Top Tens? Did Chewbacca ever get a haircut? Check out the video below and, oh yeah, “May the Force be with you.”
