Well, we haven’t officially announced it, but you may have guessed it from our absence around the usual Brooklyn haunts… We’ve been working creatively at a residency this summer in Europe - Berlin and Normandie specifically - thanks to a very special gift in support of our art from the President of the Explorer’s Club!

But soon we’ll be back, and are set to screen Hummingbird and introduce the NY world further to bio-pop at these events: The Vartali Salon on September 15th, and at The Explorer’s Club on October 4th.

And as this cute article from the Women Diver’s Hall of Fame says, we will join Emily’s mom the famous explorer Anne Doubilet at these biodiversity-focused events.

See you soon!

<3,

Ashlynn & Emily

In alliance with our bio-pop project which started with “Hummingbird,” our buddy Ed Norton (and the whole UN too, by the by) send this important message:

“Many people remain unaware that the earth is losing an incredible array of plant and animal life at an unprecedented and alarming rate…We must confront the indiffe…rence and often ignorance to the importance of biodiversity. More than ever humanity needs to reconnect with nature.”

I’ll admit - it was a coincidence. We didn’t realize, when we launched our new “bio-pop” project with “Hummingbird” that the UN had declared 2010 to be the official International Year of Biodiversity, complete with this totally nifty biodiversity website featuring leaders and celebrities giving educational and inspirational insight, articles on success stories, and a wealth of resources to learn about and support biodiversity, with the motto: “Biodiversity is life. Biodiversity is our life.”

So, the universe is aligned. Every outlet - from the political to business to POP CULTURE AND ENTERTAINMENT - has come out to join, as the UN says “a celebration of life on earth and of the value of biodiversity for our lives. The world is invited to take action in 2010 to safeguard the variety of life on earth: biodiversity.”

Jump in.

Our “Hummingbird” music video, filmed by Bad Brilliance, is now a featured video on National Geographic online! From MTV to National Geographic… which do you think is the cooler place to be featured? [that was a self-serving rhetorical question.. NG duh!!! - Ed note]

Here’s what Nat Geo had to say about the video:

“Hummingbird” is the first single from Suspicious Package, with co-production and music video by artist Bad Brilliance. “Hummingbird” heralds the arrival of “bio-pop,” a genre coined by the Suspicious Package girls that uses pop music and entertainment to focus on pressing themes of biodiversity.

Our own Emily aka MISS PARK AVENUE broke it down with Bad Brilliance at IFC’s Food Party and Dinner with the Band event.

The inimitable Igor of Driven By Bordom did a nice write-up of the show, and his amazing pics were also posted on the Village Voice blog, prompting people to contact Emily from her past, wondering if it was really her.

WHO IS SUSPICIOUS PACKAGE? There has been a lot of excitement bubbling behind the collaboration between Ashlynn Manning and Emily Doubilet known as Suspicious Package. The duo, having recently returned from their travels on a private island off the coast of Honduras, are about to release their highly anticipated single Hummingbird and accompanying music video. This first in a series of releases from the group will usher in the excitement of biodiversity as a primary focus to be reckoned with in music and entertainment - replacing drugs, clubs, alcohol, and oversexualized media. Welcome to bio-pop.

THE EAGLE HAS LANDED

Fri, 02 Apr 2010 16:28:00 -0400

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN AND TRANNIES:

We are back in the USA. After our three month private-island retreat off the coast of Honduras, which was like LIVING A DREAM EVERY DAY, we launched into a two week road trip across the US, hitting up Austin’s SXSW music festival, and the madness that is Miami’s Winter Music Conference aka DJ heaven!

Our beyond-words Miami jubilee leader - the internationally NOTORIOUS Princess Superstar - made an EXCELLENT BLOG POST summing up our wild time in Miami, including a link to a precious rare video of us partying down at P. Diddy’s mansion pool party. Best quote - the Princess declares that: “ashlynn and emily whipped off their tops and swam in the pool and were so much sexier and realer in their granny panties than any of the models time a million.” GRANNY PANTIES 4 EVA!!!

WE CAN’T WAIT TO SHARE MORE NEWS WITH YOU soon. Soon my friends. We have been working hard with Bad Brilliance both on the island and now back in Miami and NYC, and we can’t wait to release some of the new work into the world!

In the meantime, we do have just a hint of new pics from the private island up at our myspace, taken and art-directed by Bad Brilliance. It is only the beginning though…
