For Mirth Only

I DO BECAUSE I COULDN’T CARE LESS

Matt Walsh, Thomas Von Party and D.I.M. all in one night at Studio B, May 9th. Please tell me how much you hate going there (I might agree). And then tell me how much you hate dancing to great music.

This just in: Looks like it’s just gonna be a German-Canadian-British lineup. Proxy is no longer on the bill – prolly so he can work on his album. Which is really fine with meeeeeee.

Really funny Turbo press releases

The Proxy – Dance In The Dark
Out May 5th. (Sorry, it sounds like popcorn in a microwave oven at this quality, but you get the point).

Matt Walsh MySpace (check for mixes – his APR mix is my current fav).

We Have A Winner

Lo and behold, there may be a silver lining in it all. But will it happen?

I’m not really ashamed to say I only attended 1 of the 4 parties previously posted here this year. (There were more, but I deleted them) . In short, I’ve missed too many – part of it was my inane new year’s resolution, part of it was the cold weather -> being sick.

After scouring MySpace and Yelp (for parties and hair stylists, respectively), I decided on THE REAL WORLD, and an aggressive, ’80s bowl cut from Mousey Brown Salon (which I don’t recommend at all). The afterparty (location TBA) will be DJ’d by Princess Julia (The P.i.X zine) and The Lovely Jonjo (Durrr). The occasion? My 25th birthday.

Fashion UK or fuk.co.uk’s played an important role in my life. I was a sorry, depressed teenager, living in cultureless suburbia, and I really ate up everything I could find through magazines at Tower and sites on the internet, including news items and LFW coverage on fuk.co.uk.

This is really just an ode to them and 2 of my favorite designers over the years who have consistently created in a style that seems to me a complete bubble. I think Basso and Brooke’s Autumn/Winter 05 collection was the one that hit me the hardest.

I would include Julian and Sophie (nothingnothing), but they broke up a while back…not exactly sure what they’re up to now. I do know Julian’s done some really genius MySpace bulletins lately haha, if that could ever be an artform.

Peter Jensen “Mink” S/S 2008

I bought a pair of his black and white bunny shoe/boots at the end of last year. Admittedly, they’re kind of an eyesore at first – not in the neon blow-your-head-up sense – just a little more visual stimulation than you’d expect from canvas that covers your feet. But the best part is they have a really cute design. And that’s what I like about Peter’s clothing. It’s just cute.
