Happy Wednesday everyone!! I hope you are all having a great week! So the most exciting thing happened… A new Ulta store opened ONE TOWN OVER FROM ME! My Mom and I are was too excited for it, of course we went to the opening! Our closest Ulta is a good half hour, forty-five minute drive away from us! This one is a dangerous 10 minute drive… So both of us went a little nuts and in honor of that…
JUSTINE SKYE • TUMBLR IRL • NEW YORK, NY • 1/20/18
Last night, Justine Skye (@justineskye) brought back Tumblr IRL to celebrate the release of her first album, ULTRAVIOLET, at Lightbox in her hometown, New York.
Justine joined Tumblr when she was 16 and developed lifelong friendships and memories with other Tumblr members who inspired her to follow her dream of becoming a singer. From meetups in Soho to making YouTube videos together to last night’s IRL, Justine’s Tumblr friends stuck with her since day one and are now her most loyal fans.
At the IRL, blank walls were converted to the visual storyline of ULTRAVIOLET, which is about a heroine who fights off bad relationships and survives on her own. Each song on the album was depicted through comic strips created by artist Yale Stewart (@jl8comic). To finish it off, Justine performed songs from the album for the first time.
At the end of the show, Justine came down to hang with fans and took photos, signed albums and connected on all things Tumblr.
Huge thanks to Roc Nation andNUDESTIX for making this night possible, and most importantly, to Justine for bringing her connection to Tumblr full circle through this IRL.
We’ll be rolling out a few exclusives throughout the week, so stay tuned for those.
