REFLECTION/ UGH.... SORRY 'BOUT THAT

on reflection of my topshop rant (and other equally-preachy rants), i determine that i am too full of hate. Realising that i hate everything and everyone made me hate being full of hate. i am the ring leader of the perpetual viscous hate circle, some would say. i am just normal hate-feulled teenager, some would say. but what would i say.........?

i say nay. NAY TO THE HATE. i apologise to topshop even though they are oblivious to what i said and dont even know i exsist (hey im not blaming you, no-one does) and i offer this official depiction of my woe as a decleration of my mistaken anger. as you can see i have polished your crown and returned it to your noble temples. may you live long and prosper.

p.s. i didn't mean for this apology to be ironic... its just instinct i guess. but i do promise to stop the hate.

p.p.s i know.... the 'pedestal' looks like a mixture of those things they balance pizza on in restaurants and a section of a totem pole. my adobe illustrator skills are basic AT BEST. its the thought that counts. IT IS. MY MUM SAYS SO.

SO.... I WANT A POLAROID CAMERA....

its only seems natural that i would want one when they have recently been discontinued.

because im a shit.

ebay it is......

TO DO LIST/MIGHTY MISSION QUEST REGISTER 

(to do list is just a bit... yknow.... feeble. i need to stress great magnitude and an average title just won't cut it , my good friend)

MIGHTY MISSION *1 -- 

go forth, and obtain a magical device called the POLAROID CAMERA. you may have to conquer the many ominous creatures (or 'bidders' as they classify     themselves... dont be fooled by their sly pseudonyms ie.                                     niceguy26 or 

I.wont.thieve.you.by.bidding.at.the.last.minute.65. 

THEY LIE ) but once the beasts are slain, you posses the luminous treasure (it may take 2-4 working days to arrive BUT IT WILL BE SO WORTH IT) 

MIGHTY MISSION QUEST REGISTER; TO BE CONTINUED!!!!!!!!!!

ah that felt good.

wait... why does my MIGHTY MISSION QUEST REGISTER sound like its should be narrated by a Lord of the Rings character? meh. i kinda like it. 

Barbara i Gongini

these are the kind of clothes that i would like to wear when im in that leather-clad, drapey-jersey, tulle-explosion kind of mood. and im ALWAYS in that mood. 

    ^ 

this last look is one of those pretty dancing dots you see when you close your eyes really tight. she is the rare fiery one that is queen of all the blushing violet ones. AND if this collection was pokemon cards, she'd soooooooo be the shiny. wow. i could use that line again. i think i will.

if this collection was pokemon cards, she'd soooooooo be the shiny.....

ugh overused.

                                          

VIVIENNE WESTWOOD/ YOU PUT THE 'EST' IN 'BEST'. I REALLY MEAN IT. I LOVE YOU. BE MINE.

Anglomania Autumn/Winter 2009-10

This collection was so strong and i would like to own each outfit. (you hear that santa claus; ALL OF THEM...please...  If you dare get me a damn Incredible Hulk stationary set now, you're - metaphysically- DEAD TO ME. ). Vivienne has also converted me (not in a religious/sexual/scientific conversion of matter way) to liking velour. I know its been a trend but it was always one of my pet hates. The first dress, however, is DIV-INE. Im a believer.

Westwood MAN Autumn/Winter 2009/10

I think its ridiculous that high street menswear is stuck in a rut (a cardigan and smurf hat rut... IM LOOKIN AT YOU TOPMAN, YOUR ABSOLUTE NAFF) when designers have pushed it so far beyond. I loooooove the hoodie. (wow i never thought i would say that sentence) and the t-shirts are ace ( i want one). PLUS, Andreas Kronthaler is hot. Of course, the fact that he's married to viv adds to the appeal...

WORK THAT HEAD NAPKIN

Red Label Autumn/Winter 2009-10

My favourite element of Red Label was the collision of lines and the dark, muted colours. The first and third look have a twisted, anarchic preppie juxtaposition that I think is awesome. The second look just LOOKS SO DAMN COMFY. ( my mum would be so proud that i like an outfit for its comfiness. i feel like a TRAITOR TO MY PRINCIPLES... i still want to roll around sleepily in that cardigan though)

Gold Label Autumn/Winter 2009-10

I think Gold label is Viv's second strongest current collection (behind or perhaps parallel with Anglomania); her idiosyncratic grungy paroxysm is still alive, I love that these pieces showcase her thesis on modern punk. My personal favourites from this selection are either the third or sixth look. And that tartan is FIEEEEEEEEERCE. as per usual.

                                            

              

AHHHHHH VIVIENNE. sixty eight years old and still one of the most directional, innovative designers. and she confirms my theory that orange hair is the key to brilliance.

YES PLEASE/IF ONLY I HAD MONEY

Graeme Armour Autumn/Winter 2009

marry me?

JACKPOT/MAGAZINE DAY

Its that time of the month...

MAGAZINE TIME. (raise the roof. go on, raise it good. raise it like its the love child of Donnatella (Versace) and Kermit (the frog).) Once a month I leave the house (traumatic from a sociopaths perspective but its only once a month and i manage somehow) and i go and spend my wages on i-D, DAZED&CONFUSED and the occasional Interview magazine and then i spend the rest of that month POURING over EVERY DAMN PAGE. its not a pretty sight but ITS MY LIFE.

The new i-D wasn't there so i bought POP instead. Now last time i bought POP it was Katie Grands last issue as editor and it was just a bit naff. (plus i couldn't help noticing the overuse of bare boobs; i mean they were EVERYWHERE...watching me with staring nipples)

this one was the booby-enriched issue.

But with the relaunch, the newly appointed editor (Dasha Zhukova) has born a diamond.

  

 

I love Damien Hirst's butterfly embellished cover and the innovative editorials are sublime. im so ready for the next issue.

plus i immensely love the YSL shirt Tavi Gevinson is wearing on the cover.
