“Tie-d With Love.”

I had sm fun planing this shoot and hand making the dress. 

The dress is made from just under 30 neck ties. I spent around 3 months pattern making, hoarding ties, and prepping. Me and Luna did our first official fitting on the set of Moniques photoshoot, “Too Creative For a 9-5”—which y’all have already seen. This pattern was made from scratch, no Ai/LMM’s. After 5 dress fitting we were ready to shoot!!! 

I just have to say: thank you very much Monique and Luna for trusting my vision—no matter how insane the execution.

Thank you so much De’Leon (@notamassage @repair_recovery) for this lovey interview!! 

It was a pleasure learning about what bodywork is and getting experience it myself after a long 2 days of festivities! I loved realizing how there’s a cross culture element in this practice and, just point blank, learning about it!

KSSU PRESENTS:
Outfits of HARD Summer 2026

Starting strong with Jailani (@junlmax) and Josephine (jmore_05), two gorgeous babes and a colorful duo
Next is the lovely Makayla (@makaylaworcester) who is hiding the I <3 biceps totem!
Then, we got Aaron (@kingm0nroe) who actually won VIP by winning best fit—so what a divaaa
Another duo, matched in pink, both Leilene (@coochiegorilla_) and Lizbeth (@Dmc._.lizz) are absolutely stunning
Now slugjuice here doesn’t have an @ for me, but I shall tag their cutie patootie sibling (@meaty.mama)
This trio won my heart with the fit inspired by one of my fav fast foods, so thank you Scottie (@scottie_junior), Jackson (@mrjacksondees), and Liz (@izzyg_ee) for making me hungry for more
Now Mikey (@sntluiss) is my besties bestie with a love for fuglers and an icon
The darling Diamond (@diamonddagemini) wearing her siblings outfit and 100% rocking it!
And a special thanks to Jamal (@93jgee) for they had the kindest aura and a gorgoulsy cohesive fit
Last, but also the beginining, is the Piñata Divas! @julieehernandezzz
@_xo.evy_
@laperladelmarrr
@jay35caz
One’s outfit was handmade by her mum, and another was handmade with a different fabric—so maybe it cancels out the ai totem/j but the divas themselves are divas who are so plurr

thank yall for the iconic fits! Muah!

What hits HARDer in Summer, then meeting the Analog Insomniac Radio Host: Nekter! (@nekter.la)

As you heard, Insomniac has an online radio station now! (@insomniacradio) and as someone who works at an online radio station—I got the super sick opportunity to get to talk to Nekter and shoutout to @floorsupervisor for leaving a memory with them!

This is the beginning of the post-event coverage of HARD Summer (@hardfest) so stay tuned for more!
