COLORING THE KINGDOM
A very gripping article that reveals the true circumstances in which Walt Disney's army of young female artists worked in during the so called 'golden age' of Disney.Behind the breakthrough magic of Walt Disney’s first animated feature, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and his other 30s and 40s classics—Pinocchio, Fantasia, Bambi—toiled as many as 100 young women, the inkers and painters, working from dawn to dusk on thousands of cels that brought his dreams to life. The author recaptures their white-gloved esprit de corps, and a golden age of Disney that would be disrupted by strike, World War II, and, eventually, the Xerox machine.
“Snow White has to be out by Christmas—if not it’ll be too bad for Disney’s,” 20-year-old platinum blonde Reidun “Rae” Medby wrote her boyfriend from her Hollywood apartment late one night in the fall of 1937. She was barely able to keep her eyes open after a month of working weekends and double shifts in the Ink and Paint department, the all-female “finishing school” of hand-drawn animation, during the final push on the groundbreaking film. “The minute I get a pen in my hand my brain goes numb—just like it does at the studio. Don’t be upset if I start inking ducks and mice.”
The Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck color short films that had lured Rae to the jumbled Hyperion Avenue studio had grown ever more expensive—even a “mathemagician” like Walt’s brother Roy couldn’t shrink the six months of preparation, the thousands of cels (the celluloid sheets on which drawings were traced and colored before being photographed), or the two-week shoots they required. More tellingly, the films no longer reflected Walt’s ambitions for the rapidly evolving medium. Now everything was hanging on the production of the world’s first animated feature, about a pretty, ragtag princess and her seven bachelor heroes. Yet Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, as Walt conceived it (and reconceived it, right up until its release), was based on the daring notion that a fairy-tale cartoon could hold an audience’s attention for more than an hour. It was proving to be a singularly labor-and-money-intensive crusade.
The end of the assembly line usually inherits all the problems. Preparing the animators’ vision for camera required the inking and painting of thousands of fragile, combustible cels with perfect refinement. During Snow White, it was not at all unusual to see the “girls”—as Walt paternalistically referred to them—thin and exhausted, collapsed on the lawn, in the ladies’ lounge, or even under their desks. “I’ll be so thankful when Snow White is finished and I can live like a human once again,” Rae wrote after she recorded 85 hours in a week. “We would work like little slaves and everybody would go to sleep wherever they were,” said inker Jeanne Lee Keil, one of two left-handers in the department who had to learn everything backward. “I saw the moon rise, sun rise, moon rise, sun rise.” Painter Grace Godino, who would go on to become Rita Hayworth’s studio double, also remembered the long days merging into nights: “When I’d take my clothes off, I’d be in the closet, and I couldn’t figure it out: am I going to sleep or am I getting up?”

EXPECTATIONS ARE RESENTMENTS WAITING TO HAPPEN
Macklemore x Ryan Lewis - "Vipassana"Off the V.S. EP which is definitley worth the listen. Dope ass raps over indie/rock beats flipped to perfection. You got your Beirut, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Killers and your Antony & The Johnsons. The song "Irish Celebration" was clearly my song of the day...I can't wait till St. Paddy's Day.

BOOGIE MAKES IT IN AMERICA
The first episode of HBO's new show 'How To Make It in America' just dropped. It looks like a very promising show that follows the struggle of two creative minds to make it in the fashion industry; which is a very vague description. So you should check it out yourself. Anyways, Boogie's photographs are used in the first episode as works by an upcoming photographer.Read more, see more.

I MUST LOVE YOU
Madlib - "I Must Love You" (Guilty Simpson Remix)"Between the ages 35 and 45 she's like America; Cool, Calculating and Commercial. Between the ages 65 and 75 she's like Europe; Devastated but still a few interesting spots left. From 75 to 95 she's like Australia; Everybody knows where it is, but who the hell wants to go there."
Genius.
