좋은 한국패션에 대한 컨텐츠를 만들기 위해서 우리가 많은 시간 — 그리고 돈! — 막 쓰는 건데요. 그 건 큰 문제가 아니고 — 우리 온라인 잡지가 많은 시간과 돈을 투자할 만한 아이디어라고 생각하잖아요.

근데 우리 막 빌게이츠만큼 부자가 될 때까지, 막 BMW차에서 돌아다니고 천원짜리 종이를 화장지로 쓸 때까지, 우리 사이트의 비용이 있잖아요. 28일날까지 Flickr한테 돈을 납부해야 되는데 혹시…우리 사랑하는 독자들 중에 기부해주 수 있는 분이 계시겠죠? ㅋㅋ 만약에 있다면 — 스폰서가 되고 싶고 — FLickr의 납부 페이지로 가시고 “Buy a Flickr gift account”으로 해주는 거다. 헤헤.

물론 우리가 할 수 있는데 — 큰 비용이 아니잖아요 — 그래도 우리가 신경을 안 써도 되는 비용이 하나라도 있으면 좋죠. 아마 한국인 독자들이 FLickr를 잘 모를 텐데 이런 식으로 미국의 인터넷에 이런 ‘선물’로 도와줄 수 있게 해주는 방법이 있답니다. 아마 낯선 인터넷 문화가 이겠지만 그래도 이 글을 번역해주고 싶었네요.

만약에 Flickr로 한 명리라도 지원해주면 밑에 나오는 사진들이 나오는 걸 지원하는 거잖아요. 우리 사진, UCC, 모든 컨텐츠가 멋지잖아요? 그쵸? 맞죠?! ㅋㅋ

We’re spending a lot of time — and moolah! — trying to get good content about Korean fashion out there. Costs are costs, and we don’t mind the outlay.

But until we become the next big thang, and are all bling bling in our drop-top Beemers and zoned out from all-night coke parties, we’re trying to keep costs down. To that end, one thing has come up that one of you out there might be able to help out with. Flickr — the company that hosts almost all the pictures on our site — allows others to buy their Pro accounts for friends.

If you’re a Flickr user (making an account is free), you just sign in and go to the link above. Then click “Buy Now” and instead of upgrading yourself, there’s an option to buy a gift account for someone else. Wouldn’t that make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside? Hehe.

We’d appreciate the help in keeping our costs down until that fateful day we actually get into the black. And wouldn’t you love to sponsor us making more pics like this?

그리고 도와주면 은 한번 이 사이트로 링킹해주고 아주 크으으은 감사를 드리겠습니다! 괜찮죠?! 사랑해! 헤헤.

And if you help us out, we’ll be sure to give you a shout out on the page. Isn’t that special? Love ya!

Are you going to the pre-Seoul Fashion Week, preview fashion show of famous Korean designer IMSEONOC (임선옥/Lim Seon-ok)!

Create Your Funeral
<Dinner Party by Dinner Party>

“Although we fear death, consciousness is splendid and delightful.”

Although every human being came through the “door of birth,” we must all pass through the “door of finality” someday. Perhaps this is the reason we humans consider so-called “death” the saddest, most painful moment of all. However, designer Im Seon Oc counters with the question “Why does the funeral have to be so heartbreakingly sad?” She also says, “Although we fear death, consciousness is splendid and delightful,” and invokes a theme of a funeral without solemn clothing, and filled with humorous episodes and beauty. If the last time that both the departed and those left behind will spend together is filled with laughter and beauty, this means that there is enough to create a culture of enjoying a “celebration” or a “show,” in the same way that director Dakita Yojiro’s film did in “Goodbye” or Lee is found in Cheong-jun’s novel “The Festival.” Both Yojiro’s film and Lee’s novel share the common element of the unfolding of somewhat paradoxical situations in the face of the recently departed’s death. The fifteen pieces of funeral wear designed by Im Seon Oc are similar to these situations. Although both black and white clothing symbolize the darkness of death, the flip side of this coin can be expressed through humorous masks, flowers, and lace, as well as episodes and laughter from the departed’s life.

Im Seon Oc compares life to “passion in broad daylight” or simply “being busy.” She speaks of all these things being part of the course in the enjoyment of a final, grand “dinner party.” Im Seon Oc extends you a formal invitation to this dinner party, filled with good food and drink, as well as a fashion performance to remember.
