Taking part in this workshop was probably one of the most exciting and interesting thing's i've done whilst being in London. I mean it's not everyday you get to make wolves with Cassette Playa for a Selfridges window display. Unfortunately the display has now been replaced but it's okay as the new window was probably made with half the passion that ours was made with and well I also get to take my wolf home. All I need is now someone big enough and strong enough to help me carry it. Any takers....

Wish I Wasnt So Black

I'm about two Tangfastic's away from double dipping my head in a vat of acid.

DIP DYE - the process of dying the tips of your hair a substantially different colour from the colour that the rest of your hair happens to be.

Ever since laying my eyes on Whip My Hair and Willow Smith candyfloss weave of greatness my want for this style has been gnawing away at me like a skinny chick eating a celery stick. The celery stick has now ran out and I think it’s most definitely time to go through with it.

With the spring runways looking like a packet of skittles it’s no surprise this trend has already been picked up by a few ’forward’ people. Abbey Lee repped pink strands in Vogue Australia last year, and the hot mess that is Lady Gaga went for some kinda buttercup looking fade which she had for almost a month. A whole month! That’s like a lifetime in her crazy ass world.

So this is your warning.
Even though i'm about three shades too dark for it, the next time you see me i'll most probably look like a unicorn's just been sick on my head. Citing!

Dazed Live

So earlier on today I had a meeting at the Dazed And Confused head office (skived lecture for it but hey ho watcha gonna do) call it cocky if you will but I think, I think it went rather well!

As if being one of the countries favorite magazines wasn't enough they're now extending their dominance on the the London scene by putting on their first ever live festival. Taking place on the 9th of April artists, digital pioneers, art rebels and guest speakers will be taking over the streets of Shoreditch. By night a legion of bands, DJs and performers take to the stage and your boy right here had a meeting about helping run it. Boom

Watch this space for developments...

"YEAH YEAH YEAH, I'M STILL ABAWT TEEEMMMPPZ"

If I didn't have a shit load of things to do tomorrow I would also be about.
I would be about the protest which is inevitably gonna turn into a r i o t.
I would be about the park drinking beer, eating Tesco meal deals and chasing squirrels aaand
I would also be about the post office, kicking the fcuk off about my undelivered items.
Instead (amongst other things) I will be at the unveiling of the Edun x Make Something window display. A few week ago I helped develop and create a window display for Selfridges.
Tomorrow this display is being unveiled.

Given the theme and concept, my job was to create wolves and alongside Cassette Playa and my girl Casheen we talked, we drew and we created.

Doctor, Doctor I Think I'm Coming Down With Something...

So I’ve been thinking a lot these past few weeks and I think I’m strong enough to tell you all a secret which I’ve been keeping quiet for a while now. Its time to be honest with the people around me and more importantly it’s time to be honest with myself. I just cant keep this locked away any longer so here goes..
I.. I have.... I have a mild case of Bieber Fever.

PHEW
Glad I got that off my chest.

Now I know this may come as a surprise to most of you but it’s a part of me now and if you cant accept this then it's at your loss. Anyway, earlier this month I raided the piggy bank and went to see my boy JB in concert.

Best Night Ever

Harmony Korine: Umshini Wam

It's Monday today; you've probably got fuck all to do, tenner says your doles ran out and the substances you took at the weekend are no doubt crippling your every move. What better excuse do you need than to watch Harmony Korine’s latest film Umshini Wam. Its like Bonnie + Clyde only they're crippled and ugly as fcuk.
"I'm old enough to bleed, i'm old enough to breed, i'm old enough to crack a brick in your teeth whilst I sleep"

Umshini Wam is without a doubt the second best thing I've seen all year. In-between watching Mr paraplegic play dead in order to gain some sort of emotional reassurance, we follow the couple around their little South African home town on their daily gun toting business. In the short the duo are trying to seek some sort of acknowledgement and respect, the way they go about this however, well some may say it's a little questionable.

The cleverly orchestrated moments of sadness, humor and imagery coupled with some childlike costuming and acting really brings this short to life. By the end of the film it’s almost impossible not to feel anything for this couple living in this culture that has no hope of accepting them.

Excuse me as I go find an all in one suit...

S u p e r Moon

The past two weeks i've done NOTHING. NADA. ZILCH. (Well apart from the Selfridge's window thing) My list of TO-DO keeps getting longer and longer, the emails keep piling up and the impending deadlines have done nothing to hurry my little self along. Today I tried to make a dint in the list yet Twilight and a wolf appreciation session entailed. Heres to tomorrow....

Mad About The Boy

"Hi I like your inverted cross earing"
"Thanks I like your studded leather jacket"
"Thanks I got it from a shop you've probably never heard of before"


What do you get if you cross LONG clothing with BOY London? I’ll tell you what you get, you get the LONG x BOY capsule collection that’s what. Simple huh? Yeah, just like the tee’s they’ve made. Simple, monochrome, bold and clean. So sick

To celebrate this joining of matrimonial harmony they threw a warehouse party a few weeks back and apart from the usual try hards dancing around in their little k-hole's of darkness, the night went OFF.

MakeSomething X CassettePlaya

Carrie Munden tweeted and my little fingers responded....
Photobucket

Make Something host a series of workshops partnering world-renowned creative personalities and young 'aspiring' artists. It's finally come to LDN and in a few hours time i'm doing a costume workshop with them & cassette playa <3 We get to design and make a window for SELFRIDGES. So sick !

Cassette Playa lead a workshop last year in conjunction with the word basketball festival. Take a peek

So it looks like i'm in for a fun day. Sooner I sleep, sooner it comes.

So goodnight/good morning.

Have a good day, i know I will

Tea Bagging With Bieber

Ever get so lonely you wish you had someone perched on the side of your morning cuppa? No? Yeah me neither. If you do however you should probably get a life and maybe purchase some of these....

Photobucket

F U N! Cups of tea can be pretty shit at times but with one of these inside it BOOM instant level up. These 'Pret-a-portea' tea bags come in 5 different characters; Versace, Gaultier, Claudia Schiffer, Naomi Campbell and my fav Karl Lagerfeld. Kinda ironic as yano, he probably doesn't eat solids.

Due to the fact they're pricey as fcuk and the due to fact i'm a stingy bastard, my good friend Joseph took it upon himself to make me my very own personalized bag. Obviously it had to take the shape of my boy Bieber, not that he needs an excuse to drop me a teabag or two.

Guess I should probably think of it as fun and novelty, problem is I much prefer to pretend i'm drinking his bath water

Witchcraft & Resurrection. Every 10 Year Old Girls Dream

From the depths of the dry ass desert Willow Smith is back and this time she bringing the ILLUMINATI with her!!

After some sort of M. Night Shyamalan beginning which the haters are gonna go Illuminti crazy over, Willow gets what seems like some resurrection and comes bouncing back to life. Pulling buildings from the ground and cars out of thin air she creates this utopia of excitement where kids rule and fun is the primary target of the day.

Alike to 'Whip My Hair', Willows use of colour and metaphors are amazing. At a time when Britney was still tryna loose weight and Rihanna was deciding if she was the devil assistant or tinkerballs right hand man Willow burst on the scene whipping her hair and injecting fun and life back unto the music scene. Watch the girl and her predator looking weave below, appreciate the swag and remember this girls age has only just turned into double figures


This past year has really been about "the kids" so many children under the age of 18 have broke out and are making a name for themselves, too much too young maybe? Who knows. They better enjoy whilst it last though, it's only a short while before the go all Britney, shave their head and marry a gasp back up dancer....

"HEY, HOW ARE YOU? So yeah guys, squeeze in. I work for mumble and was wondering if I could possible take a picture of you? Just stand there, thats it. Oh you have somewhere to be? No this wont take a minute. Stop making that face. Ready?? Shhh OK, hold still everyone. ‘Wheres Wally' on three. Ready? One, two, three…Wheres Wally!"

Last month on a hipster loving Shoreditch Sunday afternoon a little Chinese/Korean girl approached and asked about my outfit. After a brief discussion and a snap or two we parted ways. As I forget what I've done half an hour ago I obviously forgot about meeting her until today when a little email jolted my memory.

Hey Chris Do You Still Like Girls??

So after being irrelevant for the past year or so it seems ya boy Breezy's back on the scene (and by back on the scene I mean he's just looking like a twat) Brown needs to step his Dennis Rodmen lookin ass down and go hit the hair section in Wallmart because that shit
HAS TO GO

"HEY AMBER ROSE!"

Funnily enough I wanted to die my hair blonde. This was a whole six months ago though so before you go crazy about 'oh you just copyin Chris' I think you should take a lil breather. SO glad I didn't go through with it. Apart from the fact im 13 more shades up the colour chart from him Photobucket it seems that nowadays every brother and his nappy head are taking it to the peroxide. Whatever happened to originality??
