BOB SCHNEIDER+ROBERT RODRIGUEZ+VIA CHRISTA

Austin is home sweet home for musician Bob Schneider and film maker Robert Rodriguez. The talented pair recently teamed up and made a video starring Kat Dennings ( "40 Year Old Virgin","Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist," and "Shorts"). The video, "40 Dogs (Like Romeo and Juliet)" is the first single off Schneider's latest album "Lovely Creatures".

Bob Schneider is a fan of Via Christa jewelry and wears his piece through out the video. Also, you can view Bob Schneider's testimonial bit on Via Christa in the profile video Fashion Leak produced.

FASHION LEAK + ASPHALT RUNWAY

Asphalt Runway is a blog working on a music documentary that requires a year-long road trip around the States. These are the fashions they find along the way. 

The ladies behind this project asked us, Fashion Leak, for our picture as we were having a meeting at Rio Rita's. 

(P.S. The Fashion Leak gals didn't mean to dress similar...sort of a Romy and Michelle coincidence.)

Thanks Asphalt Runway and bon chance!!
