oooooo...SPIKEY

Spikes, I gotta love it!  It yells mass produced teen rebellion.  Now I'm going to rip my top (bought like that) to match and not wash for a week...oooooo badass.  No!  In fact it's what I have been blabbing on about for a long time (to annoyed friends of course) GRUNGE....The 90s, it's recession time baby, no job for you.  Too bad pop music suxs hairy dogs balls right now, ahhh but I feel in the alternative awesome scenes around the globe creative talented folk are creating.  Renaissance were are you? 

Get angry and stud your face!

Check it!

Old bikes and bags...

Old bikes and bags are fun...Ride with friends from all nations and heights.  dring dring!

Odour of Clichè

The pungant malodor of a clichè is terribily vexing.  The pin stripe suit, masculine gangster turns 70s fashionista Milanista.  The attempt for 'The great Gatsby' floppy hat look.  The pièce de rèsistance ooooooo the Chanel bag, oooooo the Iphone...Collector items or a waste of lettuce?  Hoorah, one lettuce that isn't a waste of time, Hedda Lettuce.  You, are true fashion Ms Lettuce!

Not for children

That guy! (not, 'That Girl')

You can imagine that this guy is the guy to tell you 'You wouldn't know fashion if it happened to vomit on your shoes' and he would be this guy and he would say it so well!  Actually this dude is a fashion reporter, he hid his Fashion TV microphone for my pics....Thank-you kind sir.

So, to conclude not 'That Girl' but 'This Guy'.  However I just don't picture him frollicking about Milano town with a kite, do you? 

Oh you!

Hello 80s Balloon Puff

Hello 80s hot pink balloon puff.  How nice of you to drop on by to the year 2011.  One era that strongly disagrees with me is just about anything 80s, it's my lactose intolerance that does it.  Yes I know the 80s was an explosion of coolness, Pretty In Pink, the rise of Run DMC and the birthing years of Punky Brewster.  However balloon skirts, rah rah skirts and perms make me have angry eyes.  It's not natural, it's not normal and it's evidence should be left in photo albums for younger generations to laugh and taunt.  Meanwhile...Vom!

This chick does look pretty good in this dress however, well preserved like pickles.

Sparkle

So nice to see shiny sparkle things, especially that of a lovely smile.  I rather enjoy fashion when people enjoy themselves with it and i personally hate that wafer thin I'm so hungry I can't smile for the photo look.  Smiling is nice people, be fashion friendly not 'I'm indie I need to hunch my shoulders and generally be a drip'.  If i wanted to marvel at a tap dripping i'd stay in my kitchen!

Mae West's Shoes

She was a genius, I am sure many will argue this fact with me.  But I say, bollocks to you!  Look at her shoes man!  It screams I am short (something i'd wear) but will add illusion.  What an artist!  Quite frankly, the dude (modellist/cobbler) who made them is a champ.  So thankyou to my friends over at the Mae West blogspot and the FIDM museum for the use of the photo.  Wish I knew more about these shoes, I am surprised however that they aren't in Brocade....Mae, where are your other pairs?

Check out the Mae West blog it's neat.

Odd-Belongs just like that TV show

What can I say? Billy May, he understands....Just like The Odd Couple.  

Check out the album covers.  They crack me up, everytime.

College Couple

These kids are cute and when ever I see them around Milan they are always dressed to impress.  This new 1950 college look is super neato and so their teen complexion.  So my advice is use this nuclear cleansing products and you too can look throughly 'radiant-active'!

These kicks are dope! Love 'em!

kids, cool kids!

Milan furniture week...Fuori Salone

Yes, a bum! Enjoy your design.  All pictures by moi...copyright fools!

To dig or not to dig?

I don't get it man, I just don't dig clogs.  Clunky and chunky, bitsy and fritzy.  Reminds me of The Sound Of Music.  One musical I don't like, coo cooing into my brain like a burrowing parasite from the Amazon...BLERK!   Enough with this whole 70s charade, floppy hat, billowing long skirt and ray-pleat culotte crap!  BAH-HUMBUG, I say Good day to you Sir....I SAID GOOD DAY!

Feast your eyes and puke at these shoes!

Fringe on top

We don't have the surrey, sorry Oklahoma fans, but I do have a bit of fringe.  Fringing on man-shoes is an old European beautifying trick.  It has a rather nostalgic sentiment to it; kind of like if I was to re-read a 'Grug' book or eat a Bubble O' Bill, you know it still exists you just keep on forgetting about it because you'd rather eat a Magnum or read 'How to Hepburn' (by Karen Karbo).   

However, for those Oklahoma fans listen to the delightful Blossom Dearie's rendition of the song Surrey with the Fringe on Top with her cute melodius voice.
