GOTH IS THE NEW FLANNEL.

katieearybw

Katie Eary, a young and upcoming menswear designer, loves to create unorthodox fashion for dudes. The gear may not be work appropriate or the new (ubiquitous) plaid flannel shirt, but we can appreciate that next level shit. Now you know where to go if you want to look like Marilyn Manson at boot camp.

LOGS AND LOCALS IN BARBADOS.

sethricart_bados_12a

Guess who’s come back with more killer photos from living the million dollar lifestyle? Noah “MDL” Conopask and our good friend Seth “Sean Weasly” Ricart, set off again on a new expedition in search of wahines and cocktails on the island of Barbados.  During their down time from too much log riding and sunbathing, these two captured some stunning images of the island and locals. Take in the amazing tropical sights after the jump.

YABBA DABBA DOO TIME ON ECSTACY.

 IMG_2584

If fashion was cereal, Jeremy Scott would be Fruity Pebbles. Literally. For spring twenty-ten, Scott brought Bedrock to London and pure radicalness to fashion week via Hanna-Barbera’s Flintstones. Just imagine Pebbles and Bam Bam to hit up the discotheque in spandex and on ecstasy.

HOOD BY AIR SKID AN ORWELLIAN UNICORN INTO 2010.

Picture 2

A few years ago we played a skid party in Vancouver at a club called the Royal Unicorn (skids are the straight Vancouver equivalent of the NY banji scene which is essentially a bunch of lesbi-gays making awesome fashion / music / dance partiness. Does that make sense?). Anyway, the Royal Unicorn was an old massage parlor in Chinatown converted into a Karoake club. The same owners still ran the show and did very minor retrofitting to switch over from rubbing to singing which meant rather then being greeted by a bubbly clubgirl you instead paid the cover at the top of the stairs to a man behind a bulletproof glass window who sat in front of a bank of mini tvs that were linked to security cameras throughout the whole place. It was like partying in the future. Blade Runner style. This Hood By Air lookbook for 2010 is like a Blade Runner party at the Royal Unicorn circa 2025. Damn.

THEATER TO GO OPTIMUS PRIME.

wyly1

The good ol’ city of Dallas, Texas has up the ante in structural design with the new Dee and Charles Wyly Theater.  The new theater designed by REX OMA will become the Optimus Prime of the drama world with it’s interchangeable structure.  Clocking in at 15 minutes for it to reconfigure and into eight different variations, the stuffy Globe theater in London won’t stand a chance.

SISSY BOUNCE AT SANTOS.

l_57adef07577f6c1d9770a6b4953d7ca7

Santo’s deserves the ultimate high five for bringing the sissy bounce stylings of Sissy Nobby and Big Freeida to NY. Bounce music, for those who might be unfamiliar, is a New Orleans originated style of hip hop that has been shaking the shit out of jiggly butt cheeks for decades. Classic trax like “Bounce For The Juvenile” and “Hot Boy Ronald” have been played to your dance floors for years (even if you didnt know it) and just like all great music it started homo and then went straight. So, “sissy bounce” is the very gay, very awesome, and very raunchy return to true school New Orleans bounce. Get to Santos tomorrow to watch Big Freeida, Sissy Nobby, Maluca, OMG Michelle, plus many more, have the most epic butt cheek battle of our time!fred

MILLION DOLLAR LISTING IN ISTANBUL.

We just came back from the lands of Istanbul, Turkey where we spent a week with the Commodore himself, Noah “Million Dollar Listing” Conopask. He was kind enough to give us some of the beautiful flicks that he took while wrapped in a blue blanket to shield his scantily clad body from mosque goers during Ramadan (we must be the only ones who can endure such a copious amount of man chest).  Check for the full survey of the city after the jump.

HOW NOT TO RUN A CLUB.

7122_152493108697_662768697_3527511_7636407_n

Peter Hook bears all in what most reviews are saying is a heartfelt and hilarious remembering of the most legendary club of all time. Happy Mondays, Joy Division, Martin Hannett, Peter Saville, and many, many more threw their creative whimsy at the roaring crowds of the Hacienda in distinctly different ways and together crafted one of the most creatively successful business failures in the history of popular culture. Hooky sets the record straight and plays you a side of the Hacienda you’ve never heard.

ALEXANDER WANG SHOOTS THE PUMP.

90697475_10.preview

The economic pallor that hung like a pitch black bum out over last September seems to have passed and fashion is thin white dukin it all over town. Alexander Wang rented out a gas station for 1,000 people and had Courtney Love and Santigold on hand to eat snickers and pocket 5hour Energies. Thom Browne turned his highwater business aesthetic into a spaceage sanitation uniform. And so on and so forth until the end of the week. The Great Recession must be winding down!!!!
