Totems

Today I’m going to talk about my experience with Toteme’s Spring/Summer 2025 show at New York Fashion Week. I’ve been following Toteme for a while now – ever since I heard that it was founded by Elin Kling and Karl Lindman back in 2014. They’re based in Stockholm, and I just love how they manage to make everyday wear look so chic. So, I saw this show was happening and I thought, “Why not?” I managed to get myself there, and let me tell you, it was something else. The…

Okay, so I’ve been seeing this brand, Toteme, popping up everywhere lately, and it’s got me curious. I finally decided to dig into it and figure out what the deal is with their logo. You know, the one that’s just a square with some letters inside? First off, I went to their website and checked out their “about” page. Apparently, Toteme was started by this Swedish couple, Elin Kling and Karl Lindman, about ten years ago. Seems like they’ve grown it from a small thing to a pretty big deal….

Alright, let’s talk about these Toteme flats I’ve been trying out. I saw them online – you know, one of those targeted ads that just knows what you want before you do – and they looked pretty slick. I was in the market for some new everyday shoes, something comfy but also stylish enough to wear out and about. So, I started digging around. There were a bunch of different colors available, like your standard black and white, but also some that were a little more out there, like brown…

Alright, let’s dive into this whole “totem turkey” thing. I’ve been messing around with this idea for a bit, and it’s been a wild ride, to say the least. Getting Started So, I started by just reading up on what a totem even is. Turns out, it’s like a spirit animal, a guide, or something that represents a group of people or an individual. And turkeys? They’re not just for Thanksgiving, folks. Some Native American tribes see them as a pretty big deal, spiritually. I got this book, right? And…

So, I recently packed up my RV and drove to Westport, Washington. I was looking for a chill spot to park it for a few days, and someone told me about this place called Totem RV Park. I figured, “Why not?” and headed over there. First off, finding the place was easy. It’s right off the road, 2421 Nyhus Street North, to be exact. I just plugged the address into my GPS, and boom, I was there. No getting lost in the boonies, which is always a plus. The park…

Okay, so, today I wanted to mess around with something called “Totem Realm Raw.” I’d heard some buzz about it, figured I’d see what the fuss was about. Basically, it’s this story about a regular office worker, Sera, who gets zapped into some wild, primitive world. Sounds crazy, right? So, first things first, I started by digging up what I could on this “Totem Realm.” Turns out, it’s got a bunch of chapters, and there’s this one character named Sera who’s a big deal. I found a place to read…

Alright, so I’ve been messing around with this thing called “Totem Realm,” specifically Chapter 1. Let me tell you, it’s been a ride. First off, I started by just diving into the thing. I mean, who reads instructions anyway, right? I quickly realized this is some kind of manga, but it’s got a warning label on it. “Mature content,” it says. Okay, noted. This ain’t for kids. So, I began reading. The main character, Sera, seems like your average office worker. I was trying to read it with high-quality images,…

I had to put up a display in the northwest part of Mother of Rivers a few days ago, so I made a plan to get this thing done. I spent a few hours checking out what kind of structure I could use for this, and it turns out an advertising totem would do the job. I got on this right away. I started by sketching out a few designs on my notebook, trying to picture how this thing would look. After a couple of rough drafts, I picked one…

Well, let me tell you, them totem pole symbols, they ain’t just for show. No sir! They got meanings, deep meanings. You see them poles all carved up with animals and faces, each one’s tellin’ a story, like a picture book made of wood. What’s a Totem Pole? A totem pole, it’s like a big ol’ tree trunk, all carved up. People, them Native Americans, they make ’em. They stand tall and proud. Not just any ol’ tree, mind you. They pick the good ones, strong ones. Then they get…

Well, let me tell you, this here totem pole PFC is somethin’ else. I heard folks talkin’ ’bout it down at the general store, and it got me thinkin’. Now, I ain’t no engineer, but I reckon I can understand a thing or two when it’s explained plain and simple. Totem Pole PFC, What’s the Big Deal? This totem pole PFC, it’s all about savin’ energy, makin’ things work better, you see. Like when you’re cannin’ tomatoes, you wanna use the best jars, the ones that won’t leak. This here…
