Meme


Ok so ive finally gotten around to doing this after being tagged by both cloudcontrol and evolkween. Here it is, 8 things that you might not know about me.

1. I was in a television commercial as a 6 year old for Kiko, a brand of children's
clothing. I cant remember much except that there was a creepy animated kangaroo-like creature and a spaceship involved.

2. Ever since my mother commented on how lovely and fair my skin was (I must have been 5 at the time) I've been a little obsessed about keeping out of the sun and skin lightening products.

3. I drink at home. alone.

4. I will not blink at dropping an entire month's rent on an article of clothing or accessory.

5. I usually spend one day a week in my apartment in complete and utter silence.

6. When I die, I want my wake to be held in the Rothko room at Tate Modern in London. I haven't quite decided on the flowers yet.

7. When walking across large paving stones or tiles, I take my steps in the same way that a knight on a chessboard moves (in an L shaped pattern).

8. Once every two or three months, in order to cure a bout of insomnia, I walk to the 24 hour diner on my corner at 3 in the morning and pig out on Buffalo wings.

Who Likes Short Shorts?







Don't they make us all feel so terribly, terribly alone?

Jon's Catwalk Report - Milan Menswear S/S 2008

Oh, Barack. There there. We know your suit is too big for you! Just look at those bulging shoulder pads, the gaping arm holes and the oppressive, heavy sacky-ness of it all! Nobody deserves an ill fitting suit. Nobody. Homegirl needs some new threads and I know exactly where to find em! Yes boys and girls a new season is upon us and its time for another catwalk report!!!

So let's have a look at what's on offer from the catwalks of Milan. Now im not usually a fan of spring/summer collections and it is for one reason and one reason only. Pastels. Year in year out designers have seen it fit to send out legions of male models out on the runway in namby pamby baby blues and pink seersucker and washed out lime green bermuda shorts. Makes me want to puke. But at last, Christopher Bailey has heard and felt my pain (proof that The Secret is for real reals y`alls) and created a collection that says "fuck you lame arse pastels and watered down tones, we're gonna have a party instead!"

Clean lines, slim fits and insanely saturated color. Thats the kind of summer I want! Now we all might not have the kind of skin tones that'll go with these outfits, but lord knows we should all just TRY! And even if that doesnt work out we can always wimp out and wear something like this instead:

Now we all know that I'm of the opinion that for the evening, a fella's got to sparkle a bit. Well ok, a lot. So taking a cue from Rei Kawakubo's metallic 2007 spring/summer Mr Bailey has decided to amp up the bling

Theres something kinda hot about having a coat that you need a pair of sunglasses to wear with to shade you from the glare. Repeat after me everybody, lets send out those crazy vibes of desire into space! "Gold, Alligator Trench", "Gold, Alligator Trench".

I know, I know. One can't look all cracked out batshit crazy ALL the time. We've gotta have our classy, subdued moments too. Thats where Costume National comes in:
I do love a plunging neckline. On a fine linen/wool/cashmere knit, it gives off that yummy slouchy wintry vibe without any of the layers and bulk! And I must say, its kind of cool with a shirt and a tie too for those of us without adequately chiseled torsos to expose.

It goes to show, when you're too depressed/hung over/lazy to really give a crap about what you're wearing, always have a pile of classy, slouchy neutrals on hand. Just chuck em on and voila! Ennui at its sexiest! Stay tuned for the next post! We're off to Paris soon!
