#LameThoughts: Balancing Act

I hate sometimes that I get so hype in the moment and fail to pace my efforts. My goal for this month is to find a balance of it all. Combine the effort with some substance to bring on greater meaning. It is not enough just to do something. The goal now is to do it well and in a leave a lasting effect on those who partake. It is not all about numbers or results. Sometime you touch few, but you do it in a manner that will leave an impression and be tickled down to others. I'm saying this as far as business and life. You are what you put out into the world. And if you don't think to act tactfully then life is simply one great big instinct.

In this year, I hope to create habits of success. I want to make things happen and let my work speak for itself. I don't want to feel like I have to sit in one spot, or do one specific thing to gain attention. I would like to be able to step away, diversify my approaches, and expand on the experience. I want to be a life learner, always having multiple outlets to fulfill the same passion. #LameThoughts 

Thank You #TeamLame

I wanted to give another thank you to everyone that went to the site yesterday. We have officially and successfully launched LAME Clothing Project and our online store at www.lametoday.com. The numbers we did were great. I could not have done it without my #TeamLame. My Clark Atlanta University family, my artist affiliate family, my high school squad. So many people looked out, and posted and reposted the link on all the social networks. I am super appreciative of all of you. The LAME Motto Tee is a hit already.

Yesterday was followed by more great news. We have secured a venue for out February 24th launch event in Denver, CO. The event will be sponsored by Vitamin Water Zero, in collaboration with Timeless Classic Entertainment. The event will benefit the Denver East High School, Michael Thornton Scholarship. We want to bring the entire city out. We have so much love for our supporters and we want to bring some life to the line. 

#TeamLame continue to support the line, spread the word. This year will be awesome, I can already feel it. As long are we continue to push towards Living Ambitious through Meaningful Existence, great things will continue to happen.

LAME Clothing Project Launch Press Release

The L.A.M.E (Living Ambitious through Meaningful Existence) Clothing Project is celebrating our official launch firmly scheduled for February 4, 2011. Our brand speaks for the life learners, creative leaders, and change makers in their own everyday lives. It is the L.A.M.E belief that people are complex, but their formula is still overall very simple. Life can be defined as a balancing act, and we want you to do whatever you do with style, in our apparel available February 4, 2011 exclusively at www.lametoday.com.

“Over and over, I attempted to create numerous concepts for this line. Generic pre-cautious marketing schemes flooded my mind at the time, but it was not until the moment that I actually began Living Ambitious through Meaning Existence that I had begun using my own ideas, opinions, and art to define the line. Though I’ve admired so many great artists in this industry, I had to acknowledge that my creations are as influential, and only I can see them through, making them truly unique and so genuine. This moment of self acceptance and clarity is what we want to promote through our designs.”
- Triston Dimery, CEO/ Designer

The inspiration behind this line is to formulate progressive thoughts into a walking billboard as a means of being heard, seen, and sincerely experienced. With The L.A.M.E Clothing Project brand, the objective is to literally lead, learn, and change. Beginning by promoting the experience of embracing leadership in one’s own thoughts’, through which have been heavily influenced, and over saturated by pop culture, technologies and media. As well, though eyes see differently, the realization of being a student to the universe always promotes the need for learning and further growth. Likewise, this will change the perception on how life can be embraced, and defined.

L.A.M.E. is a fashionable stance on celebrating individuality. With each piece, it is up to the consumer to relate the designs to their own interpretation. A word, image, or statement can be read in so many ways, and all those interpretations are worthy of being celebrated. Living Ambitious through Meaningful Existence directly relates to whatever one does, at each second, of each moment, in each day. This marks’ a celebration in every moment of life’s endeavors. No strings attached in presentation, no limits to adhere to, just ambition to live by.

Founded in 2010, by Triston Dimery, The L.A.M.E. Clothing Project is a vibrant apparel brand crafted to outfit the L.A.M.E lifestyle. Living Ambitious through Meaningful Existence each month aims to complete five to ten hours of community service, as well as donate ten percent of our proceeds to a given charitable organization.
