Vice said it right

Picked up The Fashion Issue yesterday. Looks bomb diggy - skimming through it and noticing all the 'hipters' practically look the same everywhere you go in the world ...weird (unless it is the fault of the stylists?). The only differences I can spot are skin colour and the ratio of cool to nerd factor.

edit * I'll stop my hasty generalizations and apologize to the crafty writers at Vice. After looking at the pictures and reading the write-ups the 'people' in various metropolis' around the world, I do find their iconic-influenced styles are quite eclectic. I do fancy those [boys] from Amsterdam and Antwerp...
If it's necessary I'll update this completely useless post later tonight.

Anyway, I just wanted to quote whoever wrote the Montreal '08 Trend Report:

"Thift stores in Montreal are a fucking gold mine. The only problem is that you have to sift through tons of crap and get your hands covered with old-people particles before you find the good stuff. Luckily no one from Montreal between the ages of 18 and 28 has a real job, so they have tons of time to waste finding vintage mink coats, veiled hats, granny cardigans, high-waisted pants, and old leather boots. A whole outfit like this probably costs less than a sandwich does in New York."

Truth. I hate using internet lingo but I must say, EVA B, FTW!

last exam tomorrow,
new specks coming soon,
and many sunny, sunny days ahead.

i stand by all previous comments on my fav model... she continues to be thee best.

Models Talk Spring Summer 2008 (the only model that got a two part show, and seemed the least bit interesting)






Here is a FashionTelevision clip of the Chanel Paris-Londre pre-collection, with Irina, starring in the show ("spewing brilliance just as other models spew their food") in quite a rather special way.

i'm catching up, on what i like to call, my 'internet-ing'.

Listen.

this makes me want to put my biggest pair of sunglasses on, lie down on my über comfy queen size bed whilst staring into the bright sun on a lovely summer early morn.

sexcitement

every-so-often i get excited about going out. but not that typical 'omgimgonnaegetsodrunkanddancewithmybitches' excited - i'm talkin straight the fuck up 'imgonnagetmadcrunkntwosteproundalldembitches' ecstatic... and you should be too. get ready for some straight up skankin' tooooooooo!!

hiatus passed

as i struggle in the library to start writing my final paper for the school semester, the birds eye view of the Toronto Life [rainy] Square does nothing to stimulate my brain, or fingers for that matter. alas, i procrastinate and fill a temporary void by surfing the interweb ...my findings have ensued utter loveliness and also have finally let me write about something, that of which is truly blogworthy.

it has been announced that Comme des Garcons will be collaborating with H&M to produce an affordable line for the working middle class (wo)man. Rei Kawakubo's avant-garde style is said to attract an older, more mature crowd versus the line-up of teeny boppers (except i) that awaited the cheetah printed pieces of crap (X my satin collared blazer) from the previous Roberto Cavalli for H&M line, that came out last Fall 2007.
