AYNOUK TAN'S N.1 ANUS.





Launched on halloween, on the day of my birthday (Aynouk Tan? Halloween? IRONIIIICCCCCCCC) after doing the whole tour in The Hague downton for the Residence de la Mode, and having dinner in Amsterdam, we hitted back the scene making a comeback at Aynouk's parfume launching party.

I'm still wondering though if it was all just a nice pretext to have a party and feel all fancy by saying to your friends you attended to someone's parfume's launching party, or if it was an official launching.

All I know is that I found it hilarious to entry the place, and have to re-entry, but this time through Aynouk's Tan vajayjay. Once there you woud first see a little glass-covered column with the parfume bottle in it looking all pretty, and further, 2 screens playing the, let's say ad campaign? which I personally liked a lot.

I just think it was a pitty she wore the same outfit at the party than on the video. But at the same time, R E S P E C T to her now more than ever for wearing what she was wearing. We don't all have perfect bodies and it really requires some serious guts to have your coochie and bumbum half-hanging out.

HHHHHHHHOLY FASHION!























So this was the so called Calvijn Classics contest which I previously mentioned 2 posts ago. For the contest, the selected group of designers had to design 2 outfits according the calvinistic church's beliefs. Therefore so many religous-friendly shapes and references.

I have to say the show itself was BEAUTIFUL. And more than beautiful I considered it very respectful towards the church in which it took place; the whole show was hystericalfashionmusic-free and instead, there were only live female soprano singers performing acapella while the models struggled to walk on the unwalkable church floor which had all kinds of writing pieces and huge sculpted shapes on the floor.

after all the church IS a place considered holy for many and therefore it deserves veneration.

And as for the designer's final productsssssssssssss?????????? *drums*........It was very interesting to see as well. They weren't all knocking me off my chair as the ones I posted here did, in fact, there were some who really made us all go like: HOW, DARE YOU. But hey! we all weren't born to be fashion designers! SOME HAVE THAT CERTAIN IT! SOME DON'T!


Jakob Kok, the designer behind these two pieces for example had a very strong statement by having his model sport a pair of, nothing more and nothing less than, the forever polemic UGGS.

UGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH

But to not be completely unfair here, I gotta mention that he took the same train as us back home, and as we went ooooooon and on for the whole trip about those horrible elephant-like shoes, we got to understand what was his vision behind all of this.

Still, I wish you would have been there to hear the hush hush all around as soon as these two stepped down the runway. Definitely unforgettable.

SNEAK PEAK THIS!


It seems like after an eternal summer break, we're getting our shit together and our little streetstyle monster will be back on track VERY SOON.

Giu & Ce.

GETTING READY FOR BEOORDELINGEN!!!!


Ready to hopefully kick ass.

ps. I love how the nympho on my zeefdruk was suposed to be my love, Madge and it ended looking like a busted version of Linda Evangelista.

CLICK CLICK CLICK FLASH.

Ce's latest photoshoot for our atelier-mate and friend Lidewij Coorstians.

She was one of the designers we knew who got invited to participate in the Calvijn Classics contest which took place last friday in Dordrecht.

CICCIONINA' PHANTOM DER NACHT ART FESTIVAL.


So this is what the second floor of the bar where I sometimes work looked like two weekends ago for Phantom der Nacht's art festival. Well, except for the last picture which I took on the first floor where several, very interesting, experimental but fun bands played. I call it: "My picture of a picture" lol.

I love how the artist (Doctor in red) who was in charge of the second floor was able to make the whole space look so different. If you analysed each item lying around everywhere they were not that impressive; it was the whole picture which had a certain weird, awkward, cold but intriguing vibe around it.

So we had the installation going on at the second floor, music downstairs and a little somethingelse across the street.

video

One of my housemates Matthijs was actually one of the artists who made this second installation happen at the bar's restaurant which is placed on the opposite side of the street. Once in the room, your eyes had to adjust for a couple of seconds to the darkness of the place. There was a whole on the ground with actual water which was reflected on a wall, a meter or two away from the whole. Behind the whole, there were rocks hanging just about 10 centimeters above the ground, all over the place and mixed with smoke generated by a machine.

The monotonous beat of the music inside was very low and gory which somehow made me feel constantly like somethigngelse was about to happen............and just like that, while staring at the morbid beauty of the space and it's vibe, ALL OF THE ROCKS JUST DROPPED AT ONCE!!!!!!!!

And like that, just when I thought I had seen it all, I jumped. And I loved it.

ps. the only visible lines during teh video are the threads that held the rocks; the loud noise at the end were the rocks dropping, and the sudden movement afterwards was me jumping.

HOW COOL CAN ONE GET?!

FAT IS THE NEW BLAK.

Despite whatever it might mean in their language, I found this so incredibly cute?

I stumble upon stuff like this by walking around wherever I am. The kind of stuff you see, makes you laugh, and you ussually just pass by and forget about in an hour or two. But I thought that wouldn't be my case anymore. I'll start collecting them all, and someday somehow I know they'll be useful altogether

it immediately made me think of Anjelah Johnsons' stand up comedy @ the nail salon; DEFO worth the click! --->




ps. I'm sending these pics to GATOPODER, hopefully they get featured!

THE FLY CAR.




I discovered this vehicle last time I visited my parents in Limburg.

And to be honest I find it so extremly tacky that I rather love it than be a hater about it. Let's say we find it inspirational, YES?! yes, ok.

R E S P E C T for whomever drives this junk inside their trunks.

NO MATTER HOW MUCH CATS FIGHT, THERE ALWAYS SEEMS TO BE PLENTY OF KITTENS.


As a blogger, I felt really honoured to have one of the humble amateur portraits I have done of my sister, published in one of my favourite blogs!!!!!!!!!! though I totally forgot to post it on my own heh.
