Fashion and Music
Just days after Aideen posted bout RiRis new classy hair, she is spotted out and about with a major new FRO. You have got to give it to his girl, she mixes it up.
Not one but TWO X Factor related posts in as many days. Well I’m sorry now, but I just couldn’t hold back. Is anyone else freaked the f**k out that the perm could be making a comeback? I know most people groan when *insert hairstyle of choice here* goes on a reconnaissance mission every fifteen [...]
Yes, it was kinda cool as a first year college student to have a t-shirt with the Muppets or the Care Bears emblazoned on the front. Kinda. Now with Katy Perry and Lady Gaga informing stylistic sensibilities, we have seen an explosion of highly unflattering, cartoon-themed clothing. And it’s Just Not Cool Anymore. Perry has [...]
More gunky false eyelashes than you could shake a stick at, chest hair, tight-fitting gold lamé, a whiff of purple rinse about the Cheryl, a stink of desperado-dye about the Louis, utterly and monumentally BIZARRE trousers, mid-life crisis rock star impresarios, Dermot Saville Row’d to the max, a hatATTACK (props, in fairness), some on-the-money deep berry lipstick, some unprecedented KTZ appearances, dead-animal hair pieces, curiously acceptable medallions, an epic fail of 60′s mod eye make-up and a super slick looking Mary from Ballyfermot.
Catchy Boney M riff? Check. Cameos-a-plenty? Check. New York back-drop? Yep that’s there too. Savage street-style fashion porn? F**k yes! This video is deadly on so many levels. Not least because it basically mirrors my life. That chair Kanye West is sitting on? I’ve got one just like that. My best mate Santigold comes around [...]
New night Daddy or Chips at the Good Bits starts this Saturday and more coverage of the Dublin Festival of Fashion in le Cool by moi.
Hmmmm….what to do of a Thursday evening? Wash my hair? Sort out my sock drawer? Sharpen my pencils? NO. Get my freakin’ 80′s on at Club Tropicana. New night in the Mercantile Bar which beseeches you, no implores you, to whip out that perm and wrangle into your lamé bodysuit (everyone has one of those [...]
New label crush alert. Stolen Girlfriends Club – started in 2005, only on my radar in 2010. (People, I am married to the computer already, I can’t catch everything…) Anyway, where to begin? The name is just inspired. I wanna be a stolen girlfriend, I wanna be part of that club. The look is insouciant, [...]
The story goes that legendary fashion photographers Mert Atlas and Marcus Pigott were booked and ready to do the shoot. Allegedly they were all on set and everything. Next thing ya know Madonna walks in and says she wants to direct the video. They said great but we’re not paying you. At which point she whips [...]
Eh Bouncy’s new season line is crap. We’re talking studded leggings, sharp shoulders and tattoo transfers. Guuuuuuurl we’ve seen all that before. C’mon you can afford some hip and trendy hipsters to come up with your collection. What gives? I suppose she wants it to sell. Well it’ll do that anyway. Her frequent bending over [...]
So on another musical theme, LMFAO have that Miami song. Something about something about getting wasted in Miami or something. Delightfully irritating. Never mind that though, the fashion people, the FASHION. Zebra print as far as the eye can see, sequins, boombox necklaces, an explosion of neon, outrageously stupid glasses.
So presumably the world and it’s mother has heard Bang Bang Bang? Mark Ronson and the Business International do disco-pop with help from Q-Tip and MNDR. Catchy as hell, but that’s a whole other box of subjectivity. The real focus of interest is MNDR or Amanda Warner – the emceeing lady with the glasses. You [...]
It’s nearly midnight and I’m STILL trying to suss out what I’m gonna wear to Oxegen tomorrow. It’s raining OF COURSE so that puts a giant pleurisy-shaped hole in my wardrobe plans. But lads you know how it goes, you’ve been there same as me: you get a great outfit together and then just have [...]
A week from now I will be standing in an over-crowded, smelly, disease-infested field in the middle of nowhere. I will be ankle deep in mud, isolated from hygiene-friendly toilets and clean, dry clothes. The only food to be consumed will be €15 hamburgers, which, strangely enough considering the price, taste pretty sick. Oh good god, the excitement is overwhelming! This glorious event (as [...]
So Kings of Concrete took place over the weekend and if you wanted a yardstick of how cool Ireland has the potential to be, this was it. Every sort of hip and happenin’ body flocked to the 2-day urban arts festival. I don’t remember the kids being this cool when I was young. There were [...]
The latest scribe to join the pre-pubescent blogosphere is none other than the offspring of a one Madonna Louise Ciccone. Yep Lourdes Leon is “4 realz” excited about it too. Now some of you might remember my Tavi rant some months back. You might be expecting to go berserk over the very idea of Lourdes [...]
Elly Jackson aka La Roux performed at Viktor and Rolf’s Men Spring Summer Collection 2011 in Paris the other day. It’s not a surprising choice of artist to make an appearance at their show given her androgynous look and her schtick. It looks like it may be the first appearance of many. It seems the [...]
Hi peeps, apols for my lack of blogging of late. I worked almost twelve days in a row before heading off on mi vacaciones to Barcelona, and now I need another holdiay to get over the madness. (Sonar I both love and blame you for my present state) Yeah I know, you can hear the [...]
guilty pleasure. ciara music video work it. why? coz she’s workin’ it innit. serious dance moves, sexy-futuro-costumery, whiplash-inducing ponytail. a lot more fierce than the ANTM drones. love the flash of turquoise, the orange utiltiy belt, the blade-runner glasses, the cut-out body, the space-hopper ruffles.
