t began as a concept in early 2003 in Atlanta GA, due to schooling family and recovery from the dot.com crash.The Idea was scrapped until early 2008. When life resettled, the approach was to create stories on vinyl stickers and apparel.
In 2009 through hidden success of association with “another” familiar in the Dark Arts of Storytelling, most people in general thought we were reselling RAZRWING under another name, and most people thought we were already an established brand in a store. In June of 2015 We had done a Press release to anticipate the Coming of the Company Magic Leap, s that showed off Our early concepts of a behavioral retail game using Augmented Reality, examples of interactions such as Hostile, Friendly, and Neutral
During that time we relocated and based our operations in Brisbane CA. As of 2017 we have come full circle with our operations based in Duluth,GA.
In the last nine years the definition of “Story Gaming Apparel” hasn’t changed really. We have somehow been ahead of the curve and thought other companies would be adopting the technology. Companies that were based in, virtual, augmented, and mixed reality and applying it to storytelling through 3D modeling animation,interactive gaming,and interactive avatar storytelling on Apparel and Accessories.
So to be clear we are building original storytelling that will be experienced only in retail for apparel and accessories through the use of augmented, mixed reality and soon to come, XR technology (no glassware needed ) not based off traditional video or mobile games or movies. Video game licenses like JINX or THINKGEEK or movie licenses like HOT TOPIC or SPENCERS have.

We are building all original interactive games with characters using personalities and themes based on AGGRESSION, OBSESSION, SEDUCTION, ATTENTION, that you will come to know. We will use augmented and mixed reality through your smartphone, tablet and soon glass wear (headset) that will let you scan other Razrwing Apparel, accessories and “Tagged” Merchandise.. as R Story”E”volves.

BodyBuilder Legend Lee Labrada Wants You To Get In Shape This Fourth of July

00:00 /

We interviewed legendary body builder Lee Labrada and he immediately asked us to be his friend on Facebook at Labrada Nutrition. He said that there is a great free 12 week training program on there. So after we did that he told some behind the scenes stories about the early years of bodybuilding with Arnold and the gang. He was pretty emphatic that those body building competitions are nothing like beauty pageants. There are pranks and the competitors took that stuff pretty seriously. In order to compete at the highest levels you had to train and eat right 24/7 – which requires a tremendous amount of self discipline.

And Lee shared some fitness tips to help get you in shape. He said that humans are meant to move so stay active every day. He also said that to opt for lean meats and keep your stress levels low.Dr Fitness and Lee talked about the benefits of high intensity training for both cardio and strength training in order to get your muscles to failure. Lee recently decided to get back in fighting shape in order to pose for a photo shoot in Muscle Magazine to celebrate his 51st birthday

Lee’s story is another great immigrant rags to riches story which is perfect to listen to this Indpendence Day.

We interviewed our good friend Dr Tim Harlan aka Dr Gourmet about his new book Just Tell Me What to Eat. This former chef and now big shot doctor in New Orleans loves the Mediterranean diet and told us what we should be eating to stay healthy. When Tim is not consulting with the Food Network on ways to make healthy meals he is saving lives at Tulane University School of Medicine. He is on a short list of doctors who started as former restaurant owners.

Dr Gourmet is a natural outgrowth of Dr Harlan’s interest in good food and good health. He says Eating well and eating healthy is the same thing.” In his new book he teaches you to transform your pantry. his recipes take less than 30 minutes. But will require you to plan your meals for the week ahead of time. This way you will always have a healthy choice no matter what curve ball your schedule throws at you. If you follow Dr Gourmet’s meal plans then you could see a dramatic change in your blood chemistry which will help you live a healthier life.

His book is the anti-fad diet book. He emphasizes lean meats, healthy fats, whole grains, seafood and lots of vegetables. But he will teach you to make healthy versions of your favorite meals like fettuccine Alfredo to paella.
