Greg Lauren - Spring 2012

Greg Lauren's Spring 2012 line. I like the ratty, tattered ruggedness of the military-inspired line, as well as its versatility across both genders. Some of it's not quite there -- vests are a bit too frumpy, and some of it tries a bit too hard to look distressed. But in general, I like where Greg is going. (Yes, there's a relation to Ralph Lauren -- Ralph is Greg's uncle). 

BILL CLINTON PLAYS M83

Um, yes.

Gone Cover (Nsync)- Joseph Vincent

You know what? I'm not too good for N'Sync. And I thoroughly enjoy this cover.

In My Boyfriend's Clothes

'In My Boyfriend's Clothes' photoseries for Highsnobiety, produced by Aylin Hadi and Damien Vignaux. Swag is from Berlin store SOTO. 

Redesigned: Rolling Stones Logo

The Rolling Stones turn 50 years old. Damn. To celebrate, they commissioned American graphic designer & rockstar street artist Shepard Fairey to update their classic tongue logo (originally designed by John Pasche in 1971). 

Closets I'd Raid: The Horrors

The Horrors: Rolling Stones meets The Cure meets Tim Burton.

Azealia Banks: "Liquorice"

Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your ombre'd hair-extensions & show me your assless chaps. Anyway, here's Azealia's new video (FINALLY!). Shot by British photographer Rankin, & styled by Nicola Formichetti.

It's all about the Pink & Purple these days.

Closets I'd Raid: Ellen Page

Predictable, sporty & comfy. Hmm, she really does look straight out of Portland.. 

Axe - "Arca"

Um..HOW did I miss this one? Hilarious Axe spot.

PRADA - Men's

Drooling all over my keyboard. Love the classic & cinematic portraiture of menswear. This Prada Men's Autumn/Winter '12 line features Hollywood big shots Gary Oldman, Jamie Bell, Garrett Hedlund, & Willem Dafoe.  

DIE ANTWOORD - BABY'S ON FIRE

YES. Weird, whack, & wonderful. Like always.

Coldplay - Princess Of China ft. Rihanna

Normally not the biggest Coldplay fan, & this song is mehhhh, but, well, how could I not pay attention to a video called "Princess of China"?

Berk Senturk - 'Oh, Hi'

Pretty funny series of awk-pop illustrations by French illustrator Berk Senturk. 

Kristen Stewart: Elle Magazine

Kristen Stewart all swagged out in Ralph Lauren. 

Talk Talk - It's My Life (UK Version)

Reposting, but necessary. Puts Gwen Stefani's cover to shame.



It's funny how I find myself in love with you
If I could buy my reasoning, I'd pay to lose
One half won't do

I've asked myself, how much do you commit yourself?
It's my life, don't you forget
It's my life, it never ends

Funny how I blind myself, I never knew
If I was sometimes played upon, afraid to lose

I'd tell myself what good you do
Convince myself
It's my life, don't you forget
It's my life, it never ends

I've asked myself, how much do you commit yourself
It's my life, dont you forget
Caught in the crowd, it never ends

Youth Lagoon: "Posters"

Song is speaking to me right now. Hazy-pop artist Youth Lagoon sings about childhood, nostalgia, the confusion that comes with growing up. Posters are perhaps influences, or insecurities, things that build up in your life & just stay there on the walls of your life, haunting you, confusing you, affecting you as you try to sort out who you are. Mehhrr but who the F knows. 

A DRAMATIC SURPRISE ON A QUIET SQUARE

Flash mobs? Still in. This cracked me up.

Nike Free -- I Would Run To You

So proud of V for being a part of this new Nike Running spot, made by W+K. Cute story. Not the standard rah-rah intense Nike spot. Nice to see a different tone.
