Re: Michael Jackson Auction in 2009
knowing how humble and emotional Michael is, he would NEVER sell all this "CRAP" - Billie Jean glove,costumes etc. - you think that's crap? To him especially?
mj has sold gloves and costumes loads of times over the years its hardly a first.the majority of what is being sold from what we have read is things releating to the ranch. the gates.statues artwork. yes some of that is tacky crap lol. have u seen those urns lol anything mj wants to keep he will. u act like hes had it all taken off him
and the below shows how broke he is. note the "paid in full" comment

ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!
congrats JEANNE! 143
never forget that; no matter what odds you're facing....
ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!!!
I've overcome the typical asian stereotypes, uphill battles, struggles of everyday life and love, etc, etc. anything is possible. never let anyone stop you from what your gut or heart tells you, but try not to make hasty decisions....
when we started I.F. & Co. several years ago, never did my cousins or I or anyone imagine we'd have household A List celebs or just a prosperous business in general. well guess what?
ADD THE KING OF POP TO
THE LIST!!!! yeh, thats right, I just booked MICHAEL JACKSON for some custom jewelry! HOLLA. I've been a fan of MJ since "off the wall" and I loved the Jackson5. In a few weeks, I'll show you the first piece we have done for Mike! and f.y.i. PAID IN FULL!

80/20
Ever since I stopped being a degenerate gambler, I have a hard time leaving las vegas and I just found out some friends are coming in from the t-dot today...
BUT, I'm supposed to deliver Michael Jackson's piece 2moro, so that's my main priority , also the gym is another and I gotta get back on the grind so I can pay this overhead... Life isn't just about partying. 80/20 y'all. Real talk it's about 80% good, 20% bad. My trainer's even to the point of telling me to examine where I eat a burger, maybe avoid the bun and check where the beef comes from and all that. I can't get to that point of ill levels yet. To me, thats like getting a blowjob with a condom on. Hells NO.
As much fun as I had, I need to get back focused. Even though I own my own business, I hate mondays. I start shooting again soon, so I need to chill a little bit.
Btw, Pacquiao knocked de la hoya the @#$% out last night! that might have been the best fight I've seen in years. They didn't hug and ruin Ish once, they just brawled and chucked them and squabed like them og hearns/leonard days. *$%# awesome. Wow, congrats to him, I'm sure cats in Daly City and Long Beach were partying up! haha. I've been to more than a few de la hoya fights and I've never seen his faced that beat up before. Hang it up Oscar. Damn Pac Man is FAST!
P.s. Cam, you're a real scumbag for the whole Willa situation, damn she's in my head! Damn she's bad!!! lol

She says I am the "ONE"
but the kid is NOT my son!
MICHAEL JACKSON!!!!!
YES, WHAT A LONG AND CHALLENGING DAY!
we finished 1 part of many for the KING OF POP! Michael Jackson aka Moonwalker is now officially a client of ICEE FRESH aka I.F. & Co. We made him a custom diamond and ruby brooch/pin so he can wear on his blazer. All rubies were of thee highest quality and all diamonds used were VVS clarity with the best available color. And everything was set into 18k gold, the piece overall weighs 120 grams which is VERY VERY heavy for a brooch/pin. It was a longer process then usual(3 weeks almost), but thank god part 1 of 2 is done. we are making a belt buckle next which will be similar to this piece, but it will be bigger and the colors will vary. Michael wanted something that was gonna shine crazy!
well once the light hits this, it literally blinds you. MJ and His team chose the colorways. I'll show you later the piece he had made for an absurd about of money and it was terrible! HUGE SHOUT OUT TO 57 EVEN WHO DESIGNED THE ACTUAL ARTWORK BEFORE WE WENT INTO CASTING! THANK YOU STEVEN! WITHOUT YOU WE HAD TO CANVAS TO WORK WITH!
here's a few pics, I'm exhausted.....
my camera could NOT take good pics at all. I need professional lighting to catch the beauty of this piece. it is ICEEE! even the slightest flash just blurred everything out of proportion.
the artwork
the wax mold....
work in progress....
what we delivered to the KING of pop
(click on image to see in full size, it's bigger than the other pics)
the blue pops out even more now since we rhodiumed it....
f.y.i. there is no photoshopping done to this pic outside sharpening and cropping.
this is with zero flash or light....
here's a pic with FLASH! BLING! GLEEEEEEEEEM!
but I swear to god nothing we have ever made shined this hard.
