London Fashion Week

On Monday I went to see my friend Zach's show at London Fashion Week. He was styling for the BBC Blast Fashion Project which had created in 6months a collection by the name of 1.Wo/Man (read One Woman, One Man). The collection itself was a bit all over the place, but there were a lot of impressive elements. I really liked the use of space and the loose, fresh youthfulness of the silhouettes. The androgynous styling was really good, and I loved the use of freeflowing hair and make-up. I was informed that the tee-shirts used were those of competitions entrants who entered a competition to create tee designs which would be presented at LDN fashion week and sold for charity (Children in Need), which explained their odd placement and lacklustre effect as part of the outfits as a whole. Ultimately, it was an impressive show for a first time team where all the members were between the ages of 15-19.

Below is a picture of a model, and I am in the background. If you can spot me, I will give you a special surprise. Although I must point out I'm a guy...and there's basically only one prominent male in the background.


Oh, and I also hear The Dolly Rockers (who opened the show) are complete divas! Which is odd considering their first (and only thus far) single didn't even chart! Karma, eh?

This Charming Man

I saw (500)Days of Summer last week and was thoroughly disappointed. I didn't think the two leads went well together. I love Joseph Gordon-Levitt in Mysterious Skin and Brick, and he didn't let me down. But that Zooey Deschanel was terribly tiresome. She just reminds me of Katy Perry too much. And her character was so annoying. The plot was weak as well. On reflection, I understood the significance. His experience with 'Summer' taught him a lot in ways. But ultimately, I thought it was overated and at parts predictable. One thing I got from it was a lesson in good music. There was lots of Regina Spektor splattered about, who I love anyway. But there were a few excerts of The Smiths, who I hadn't really paid attention to prior. I know they are old and Morrisey does all his solo stuff now, but I after wearing myself out the past week on spotify listening to their top 5 rated tracks, I think I can honestly say I am a (lacklustre) true fan!

Here is my favourite song, and probably a lot of peoples, so apologies for riding the band-wagon, There is a light that never goes out:

Bonjour!

It's that time of year again...Dieux Du Stade is back! As anyone who knows me knows I don't like porn, I thrive off these sensual soft-core offerings. It is the 10th anniversaire so I expected some good photos, and thus far I have been pleased. Below are my top three:

1.James Haskell


2.Olly Barkley


3.Aristide Barraud

Queer

When I look for porn, I tend to search for straight guys? I actually tend not towatch porn, I just watch clips of male celebs and Dieux Du Stade. I'm really a big lightweight. But I'm getting a bit bored so I asked a fellow gay man to tell me a good place to look for some so he told me englishlads.com
I spent all of 5minutes looking through the 'models' but was sort of disappointed. Everyone is so effing perfect.
But I was surprised to find a really inviting profile shot of a guy who is apparently gay. I didn't look at the body shots, but his face was alluring. I probably only like him because he looks like Tom Hardy, who I'm a bit obsessed with.



On second glance, he sort of looks like the type of guy that would be a knob in person. Anyone who performs well in porn must have gallons of self-esteem, surely?

23/9/09: He sort of looks like Darren Miller from Eastenders?

Eden

Why is privacy such a fucking privilege nowadays? I turn on my t.v, and it's all over the news. I look at the computer and it's on every single page of my screen. I listen to the radio, and Tulip Mazunda is telling me what's what. Everything is documented!
If you took a glance, you might see that information is everywhere. That knowledge (?) is everywhere.
But if you took a step back, and gave a moment to adjust, you'd see that everything is being psycho-analysed. Every motion nit-picked till it's death and spread over 'social-networking' sites and texted from phone to phone. No-one needs to walk or interact face-to-face anymore; everything is just there.
And if you google any celebrity, there's bound to be a nude photo of them.
Ultimately, if everyone can see you naked, what have you got left?

Normally, nudity at the end of my rant would be a good segway to posting a nude photo, but I don't think it's the right time.

I'm just another blogger, documenting human movements like they are foreign. They seem sort of foreign. Maybe I am just out of touch.

Womanly

It's funny sometimes people do thing's that if you were a spectator wouldn't seem that big of a deal, but when they happen to you, it really hurts. That isn't funny actually. Why do people say "It's funny..."? I don't know. Self-comfort?
Anyway, I found this song on youtube by an artist called Chris Garneau. It's sort of old, but I really like it. He sounds like a male Regina Spektor with tinges of the singer from Placebo, and an easy femininity.

Sleepy

I went out last night to my friend Florence's 19th Birthday Vampire Night. We all dressed like Vampires (which is what I did for my 18th aamof) with white makeup and bloody lips and fake blood everywhere (which is a pain to get off) and had vampirous coctails. It was fun. I danced like crazy just running around the club (Mosh + Sophbeck) and howling. It's odd because lots of people go clubbing to hook up, but that's too much hard work. If you go for that then you restrict yourself from acting crazy. And what's the point of drinking, if you're not going to get drunk, so you can't act crazy? Maybe I am missing something. I am really young so I guess I'll learn a lot more about drinking skills. Maybe I'm not at my sexual peak.
So anyway, I crashed at Florence's sister's, and got up about 12.30 today. Got home and found Miley Cyrus had made a music video to her song that I'm obsessed with. I don't know why, she's sort of, annoying? But I feel bad saying that because she's quite a bit younger than me. But the song is really nice and I'm not ashamed of saying that.

Prince of Egypt

I just turned BBC1 on for a few minutes and watched a small segment of the movie Prince of Egypt. I became infuriated almost instantaneously. It is such hyperbolic propaganda and exaggeration of the Bible. I saw the part where Moses spoke to the burning bush which was supposed to be 'God', but was very rude and said he would "spite Egypt with his wonderful wrath" or something along those lines. I thought 'God' was all-loving and opening? He's wrathful too? Gosh, Christianity is so stupid, but people actually believe it.
Then Moses told his wife he had to go to Egypt and she had this angry face and said "You can't go, you are just one person!" That was bogus too because in those days she probably wasn't allowed to speak up to him and if she had said that Moses would have just slapped her one or proclaimed her possessed! It's all so sensationalist.
And the final bit I watched was when he walked back into Egypt and he saw his brother, now the Pharaoh, and gave him a hug. And get this, the Pharaoh had an english accent whilst good ol' Moses had an American! So stupid! 1.Brothers who grew up together would not have differening accents 2.American's always have English people as bad guys...why is this?! 3.It is so far-fetched! Ahh
And to top it all, The Prince of Egypt is in my 2002 Guiness World Records book as the most expensive animated film ever...and it's awful, simply awful!
I am infuriated.
I just googled 'Prince of Egypt Naked' and this is the best I got, a picture of his brother...


Christians, go fuck em!

Feelings have gone

I have come to a point in my life where everything is changing. Actually, I have always felt like everything is constantly changing. I guess life is hard like that when everyone is moving so fast and being so competitive. Anyway, I really like Basement Jaxx's new song featuring Sam Sparro. I think Sam Sparro has an amazing voice; so much soul. It's called Feeling's Gone, and I can really relate to it. But let's not be sad! It's a happy tune :)

Double X

I heard of The XX about 2weeks ago when I saw them on BBC3 late night at some festival. They were really good and had this mysterious sound about them. Like Brian Eno, but more haunting. Here is the video for Basic Space. They are sort of pretentious and the video is awful, but I really like the disjointed beat and lyrics.

Hola

Are introductions necessary to garner a first impression? Maybe. Sometimes people have their mind made up before they have even met you. That is a very vague thing to have said isn't it? I am a very vague person.
I just looked at my profile and it said my zodiac sign is a sheep. I resent that; I am a ram. Strong and ungraceful, with a tenacious attitude. Or maybe I am just wooly and weak with a reliant attitude. Maybe.
Well, as Yma Sumac said: "Goomba Boomba".
Oh, and for all intent purposes, I am Otter.


She was wonderful.
