Moog 2010 Apparel
Moog is better known for oscillators and potentiometers than they are for cut and sew. But for Spring 2010, the fine people at Moog will be releasing a modest line of apparel that reflects all the sensibilities that the brand has come to embody.
Responsible for creating a legacy of musical and studio equipment used from artists like the Neptunes, Bob Dylan, Daft Punk, RJD2 and Sonic Youth (to name a few) Moog has long been a sought after brand that core musicians will go to any lengths to own. Moog knows this. In response, they wanted to create a small apparel line so that all of their fans and enthusiasts, size notwithstanding, could own a piece of Moog. While not everyone can own an Etherwave Theremin, everyone can stake claim to a Moog hoodie.
The current Spring 2010 line features a limited selection of tees, hoodies and hats that espouse the craftsmanship and detail inherent in all of Moog’s products. Moog’s apparel line is available for purchase online at moogmusic.com.

Chaco Introduces PRO Series Sandals for Spring and Summer Adventures
In a continued focus to meet the growing needs of outdoor adventurers and river professionals, Chaco has introduced a new PRO series of sandals that are function-driven and will take you anywhere your feet want to go.
Key features of the new sandals include:
- A new Vibram Idrogrip outsole for durability, extra wear-resistance and performance on the trail
- Water-evacuation channels that run heel-toe and move water away from the lug surfaces to maximize contact between rubber and ground during use in and around water
- Channels that run across the width of the foot that both evacuate water and aid walking motion by forcing the entire outsole/midsole to break and articulate during the walking motion
- Enhanced lateral heel lug for wear resistance at heel-strike and toe-off during walking motion
Styles include: Z/1 PRO, the original Chaco Z sandal; Z/2 PRO with a toe loop for added security; Hipthong PRO, a super functional, adjustable flip; and Flip PRO, a full-on performance flip.

Believing that everyone deserves a beautiful future, the nation’s leading make-up educational institute, Make-Up Designory (MUD), created the MUD Cares Palette of Eye Colors to benefit NextAid and one of its partners in Africa, the Red Rhino Orphanage Project (RROP). 100% of the sales from the limited-edition four-color eye shadow palette are being generously donated to NextAid to help RROP build a foundation for a better tomorrow. Once the specially commissioned palettes sell out the funds will provide construction of orphans’ homes in a poverty-stricken town 25 miles southeast of Nairobi, Kenya. Each of these eco-friendly structures will provide long-term shelter, food and medical needs for some of the most vulnerable orphans in the area. NextAid has increased efforts to sell the remaining palettes with the launch of an extensive online promotional campaign with the help of lovely superstars Colette, DJ Rap, Eve Falcon, and Samantha James. To help spread beauty from the inside out, purchase the palette online athttp://shop.mudshop.com/mud-cares-palette or MUD retail stores located in Burbank and SoHo.The MUD Cares Palette, retailing for $25.00, is a quad of eye shadows developed and created by Make-Up Designory. The four colors were hand-selected by members of NextAid to bring out the natural beauty of every skin tone. Stay grounded with Spanish Gold and Dulce de Leche, create a warm glow with Cashmere, or visualize a better world with vibrant Moss. The powders are soft and finely milled with just a touch of sheen. The shades work for most skin tones and complexions.
By selling only 1,000 palettes, MUD will raise $25,000 to fund the final construction and initial operations of two homes expected to house 16 children at Red Rhino Orphanage Project. Each of the timber-framed sustainable structures will provide basic necessities including medical supplies for rescued children, children at risk, and orphans in a safe, encouraging and healthy environment. The project also funds the children’s educational pursuits, from elementary school through secondary and university or trade school.
NextAid co-founder and director, Lauren Segal-Avenna explains, “The children Red Rhino Orphanage Project is caring for are some of the saddest cases in the region. These are kids that have absolutely nowhere else to go. These were once babies who were literally left on door steps, trash heaps… totally abandoned.”
In late 2009, four incredible talents from DJ culture came together for a MUD makeover and photo shoot at MUD’s Burbank studio to help NextAid spread the word to their combined global fan-bases. Los Angeles-based DJs and artists Colette, DJ Rap, Eve Falcon, and Samantha James, all generous supporters of NextAid, freed up their busy schedules and volunteered their time. Look for the NextAid/MUD web-banners featuring the four DJ beauties splashed around the internet this spring.
