MIDNIGHT Fantasy - All Artificial Intelligence '70's Style Disco

MIDNIGHT Fantasy - All Artificial Intelligence '70's Style Disco 

In the shimmering glow of a digital Studio 54 reborn, where the mirror ball spins eternal across pixelated skies, the visionary artist Kelly Eldridge Boesch stepped onto the virtual dance floor and dropped a creation so smooth it made the algorithm sweat glitter.


Through the sorcerous alchemy of Midjourney, she conjured a fever dream of platforms, afros, and polyester splendor, feeding the machine a secret style-ref code that screamed "Saturday Night Fever" while whispering "deep house after-hours" in its ear. Those images didn't just pop; they strutted, they hustled, they pointed to the heavens with the righteous authority of a white-suited disco messiah. 

Then, like a goddess slipping into something more animated, she breathed life into the stills with VEO3, sending bell-bottomed avatars twirling through strobe-lit dimensions where every frame bumped to an invisible bassline. And for the final flourish? She summoned the sonic spirits over at Suno Music to craft the ultimate hybrid anthem: a track that grabs the glittering excess of 1970s disco by its sequined lapels, drags it through the velvet ropes of the present, and lets it loose on a four-to-the-floor deep house pulse that keeps the groove rolling long after the last mirror ball has shattered into stardust. 

This, ladies and gentlemen of the endless night, isn't just art. This is Kelly Eldridge Boesch reminding the timeline that the beat never died; it just learned how to code. Now if you'll excuse us all at MAXINE, we've simply got to boogie.



Kelly Eldridge Boesch steps into the frame with unmistakable confidence—today is unequivocally a fashion day, and the palette is blue reigns supreme. From the deep midnight of his tailored coat to the electric cobalt flashes in the lining, every shade feels deliberate, layered, and alive. What truly elevates the ensemble, however, are the silver accents and accessories that dance across the look: mirrored cufflinks catching stray light, a liquid-metal belt buckle, and razor-thin chains that trace the lapel like circuitry. There’s an effortless cool in the way the metallics play against the cool tones, giving the entire outfit a crisp, forward-leaning energy.

The vision doesn’t stop at still imagery; it pulses with motion and sound, transforming the concept into something almost another dimension. Created by the extraordinarily talented Kelly Eldridge Boesch, whose eye for futuristic elegance shaped every frame, the project fuses high fashion with speculative design. The images themselves - born in #Midjourney - feel like glimpses of a world just beyond tomorrow, while the seamless animation, crafted by @hailuoai_official, lends the garments an almost sentient grace as fabric shifts and silver ripples like mercury.

Rounding out the experience is a custom soundtrack from @Suno that hums with glacial synths and a driving, understated beat - cool, confident, and unmistakably modern. Kelly Eldridge Boesch has delivered more than an outfit; she crafted an atmosphere, a mood, a statement. Blue has never felt this electric, and the future never quite so close at hand.

One Final Note - "I Need A Minute" - Short & Sweet - All AI

 
Go slow, go slow is such a perfect message in this day and age. We, at Maxine, believe this artistic expression from this digital artist, Kelly Eldridge Boesch , is blossoming into something almost anyone could relate to. Very nice and sophisticated in an everyday kind of way.

In-N-Out Has America’s Favorite Fast Service Food Fries

In-N-Out Has America’s Favorite Fast Service Food Fries

As a Southern Californian, one's options for fast service food fries mostly come down to In-N-Out, Shake Shack, Chick-fil-A, and Arby’s, since those are the chains with locations in the Southland. So, it’s no surprise that In-N-Out’s fries, cut fresh daily, took the top spot in a new analysis of over 40,000 Yelp reviews, earning a 3.86 out of 5. That’s a big win for the West Coast favorite, especially since you’re not likely to come across fries from chains like Bojangles or Freddy’s around here.

Shake Shack, another local option, came in second with a solid 3.7 rating, while Chick-fil-A’s waffle fries, a familiar sight in SoCal, landed fifth at 3.4, lauded for their crispiness and sauce-dipping potential. Arby’s, also in the region, scored lower at 2.89, sitting at eighth place.

The study, put together by Seating Masters, looked at 25 locations per chain and showed that In-N-Out’s fresh-cut approach outshone bigger national chains. For context, McDonald’s and Burger King, which you might spot elsewhere, ranked near the bottom with 1.91 and 1.92 averages, respectively, while KFC’s fries tanked at 1.77. Chains like Raising Cane’s and Zaxby’s, which aren’t common in Southern California, also made the top 10, but you’d be hard-pressed to try them locally.

Here’s the top 10 from the data:

In-N-Out Burger – 3.86

Shake Shack – 3.7

Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers – 3.59

Bojangles – 3.51

Chick-fil-A – 3.4

Raising Cane’s – 3.24

Zaxby’s – 2.98

Arby’s – 2.89

Hardee’s – 2.86

Checkers/Rally’s – 2.84

We, at MAXINE, believe that for us SoCal folks, it’s clear In-N-Out, Shake Shack, and Chick-fil-A are holding down the fort for fry quality options, while Arby’s lags a bit behind. 

Freshness and smaller menus seem to be the key on how our continual favorite always seems to top the list, giving our local Baldwin Park In-N-Out an edge over the mass-produced national competition.
