TORONTO



SEK ONE in NOW Mag

WHERE Catch him playing Friday (July 4) at LeVack Block (88 Ossington) as part of Acid City, opening up for Scott Cooper. Then, July 11, he plays the Nut Buster’s Ball at Smiling Buddha (961 College).

WHAT “Bass-heavy subwoofer workout beats. I pull a lot of influence from jackin’ house, dubstep, Detroit electro-techno, old jungle and UK garage. When I DJ, it usually sounds like elements of all those genres get dismantled, then reassembled into a new-school rolling low-end style.”

WHY “I wanted to become a DJ after seeing DJ Q’s battle scene in the movie Juice. Since then, everyone from Green Velvet, Drop the Lime, Ed Rush and Skream to King Turbo has inspired me to keep at it.”

TOP TRACKS

Rusko Cockney Thug (Buraka Som Sistema remix)
Machines Don’t Care Beat Bang
Andy George and Scott Cooper The Piano Man
Clark Able Lemon Head (Nic Sarno remix)
Alias Work This Pussy

Five Decades of Loveliness

"1963 and it all kicks off....

This season, Ben Sherman asked British Designers PPQ, notorious for beautiful dresses, to create a range to illustrate & revive musical style. The collection consists of 5 dresses, one for each era, which instantly gives the 'decade' an identity.

LIMITED EDITION"

consumerism at its finest

i am a slave to this lifestyle of modern consumption, as if my 'blog' does not already prove my distastful acts - there is no doubt that hedonism is found through love (of materialistic objects) as well as in the simplistic ways of life
( but i say, why not let the two be concurrent? )



the sunnies have been ordered and a new mobile to choose from is hopefully on it's way!
my very outdated and slowly dying RZR is in need of a proper replacement.

Miss Sixty

entire collection found HERE

I've always had a soft spot for luscious lamb leather, oversized darker than thou shades and the unholiest of holy four inch heels. Though this may seem like the attire of a dominatrix, I prefer to plainly call it 'bad ass' - a title I'd like to refer to my lifestyle as... only on weekends, of course. This badass style of mine thankfully adorns the creations of those lovely designers at Miss Sixty.

Branding in the 21st century is more important than ever. Within each household name holds a history behind it. Miss Sixty is a line of clothing that is part of the Sixty Group brand created in 1990 and then launched in 1991 (that including the ubiquitous Sixty, Energie, Killah, Murphy&NYE, Refrigiwear, Richlu, Kblost, Bandits du Monde and Baracuta - http://www.sixty.net) - synonymous for it's youthfulness and 'described as having a strong identity and versatile personality that distinguishes it from other clothing lines'.

Those young minded individuals who choose to portray the [Miss Sixty] image exude an off-beat, yet exciting aura to them - from their famous denim to recent runway collections, the people at Miss Sixty have been doing just that to cater to their clientele. And their clientele (with all fingers pointing to me) is one happy puppy.


Models who have represented the brand are Irina Lazareanu and Jessica Stam. Avid followers, include the most-recent frontrow-ers: Anne Hathaway, Chloë Sevigny, Ashley Olsen and Milla Jovovich.

My badassness continues with my most recent purchase of the Zonaida tote. An unexpected visit to the Sherway Gardens location led me to this purchase, as well as its exchange for the high waisted, medium washed denim, adorningly named "Mila" from Spring 2008 collection. No matter what cut you choose: high waisted, straight, regular fit or their sinful second skins, quality and a tickettotheoneyouwantinyourpants is what you're truly paying for.

The new collections can be found on the website www.misssixty.com

Here are my new pantalons, which if you're lucky, just might be found on your bedroom floor

ACID CITY - THEY ARE HERE TO SAVE YOU

June 19-25
BY Denise Benson June 18, 2008 16:06

SEK ONE @ ACID CITY

With DJs Fistfight, Alias. Fri, June 20. Toika, 471 Richmond W. $6.
“Anything I do is based solely around a big fat bassline,” declares local DJ and promoter Brandon Sek (a.k.a. Sek One), the man behind the Curb Crawlers and Subtrac events. Having been DJing for the past 14 years, Sek has loved and played all from Chicago house and Detroit techno to drum ‘n’ bass, UK garage, dubstep and “dark Detroit drum machine electro.” Acid City finds him partnered with similarly adventurous DJ/producer Fistfight, of Nacho Lovers fame. Expect the two of them to come heavy with sounds both classic and futuristic. Check Sek’s popular blog at www.thecurbcrawlers.com/blog for a taste.

A thought on Hedonism, originating from John Stuart Mill stated, "the more elaborate beings tend to spend more thought on other matters and hence lessen the time for simple pleasure."

...you like dat, huh.

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.

c/o weloveradio

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.

enjoi.


"Libra (Sept. 23 — Oct. 23)

Miracles can and do happen every day, but we fail to notice them because we let negativity overwhelm us. You're about to discover the sky is determined to give you the best."

Noted.

***********************************************************************

Miracles and all of life's possibilities start HERE:




THE AUGUSTA HOUSE
152A Augusta Avenue
Toronto, ON X0X 0X0

Ticket obtained. Proper seatage.
5th May 8:30PM @ Massey Hall - take a puff, see you there.

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.

more information can be found HERE and HERE

Fred PerryxEmma Cook / regret

From left to right: loose-fitting polyester hoodie (£90), a rollneck dress with tipped sleeves and hemlines (£115), scoop neck polo (£80), sixties style mini-dress with drawstring hem (£100)

I can't stop staring.

Another reminder to serious shoppers on vacation overseas, though both you and I already know this, if you know you love something you see and for some reason feel uneasy buying it, ignore that feeling and whack out the quid, pronto. smile, leave, wear your shit back home and flaunt like a motherfucker.


Ben Sherman's WOMENS footwear - style: jag

upset.

R.I.P

you gave me many good times,
but not once while in london.
you almost burnt out,
and wasted space in my luggage!

...as the spring season of wavy hair rolls through, my first attempt at those luscious curls has failed.


R.I.P. my hot rollers =*****(

Tatler's Best Dressed

Her personality is a bit whacky and there has not been much written on any of her interests, but her skinhead/mod/punk influenced wardrobe has definitely made a name for itself within Britain's definition of street fashion. This chick totally earned her spot as #1 on Tatler's Best Dressed List. Kate Moss has officially received the boot (for the howmanyth time?)

Harper's Bazaar March 2008

Though I despise receiving my monthly subscription two weeks after it hits stands, I refuse to complain as cover pages are a special shot for all subscribers. This months issue is a BIG one - Spring Fashion & Lindsay Lohan. Though she has been recovering in rehab, making up with daddy, attending self-help meetings and recreating nude Marilyn Monroe shots, she never fails to continue her long affair with all that is high fashion (always making it look classy). LEGGINGS BE GONE!

Check the photos here and pick up the issue!
