Hotest dude ever: model andrej pejic

the boy that stole the show: andrej pejic at the jean paul gaultier show

andrej pejic is so hot it really doesn’t matter if he’s a boy or a girl. he can be a cool one either way and hes surely welcome to our party any day…. however i think this finally sets a great pivotal point in the business that we call fashion. from the start, fashion was run by men for women. who else would make you walk on a stilt we call high heels? as the more tasteful, sensitive gay boys flocked to this venue they began to create their own “ideal image of a women”… (this mind you is just a theory–so don’t go changing any text books yet). that ideal image was of course not one of a women really, but of a young boy, pretty and gentle and kind, perhaps reading proust (just the way we like em). so out went the fashion image of a woman, from the hefty, well-fed, aristocrats, to flatter and skinnier girls resembling 12 year olds in mid puberty (this of course, made the pedophiles quite pleased with the new code). women, and i’d say rightfully, began to take note and made a fuss… wondering what to do with their bulbous butts and once well-sought after breasts? they demanded to regain their place in the spot light to no avail. time went by and the feminists took their jabs, screaming anorexia and heroin chic as their witness, no one listened, not even kate. finally with andrej the cat is out of the bag. no more pandering to those “women” types wanting attention. now the ideal image of their woman is finally a man… and that’s that… and if you don’t like it we can surely take this outside. by dd

Saachi: Top 10 London Shows for April

different abstractions – green cardamom – london: saw this show and another piece of his in the NY exhibit at the danese gallery along side of richard serra’s work, and the piece pictured above was quite unbelievable. the surface is made of thin threads than blur the reality of the physical surface even at a few inches distance. you could swear what you are seeing is a piece of glass suspended and not a physical thread. quite amazing. saachi placed the show as of the best shows in london for April and had this to say about it:

“…all three artists in this exhibition use abstraction interestingly. artist hadi tabatabai makes intensely poised grid-based abstractions. only close examination reveals that their meticulous construction uses threads just off the surface, or grout just below it, to create a stilled zone in which to contemplate the ambiguity of figure and ground, the nature of truth, the meaning of life…” see it if you can. by xy

jammin’ with sam the sham

a little egyptian touch from sam the sham and the pharaohs. the lyrics were so hard to understand that some radio stations banned the song. that’s the attitude, if you don’t understand something, ban it… just in case! by bn

filling the Gap in china: gap ads by annie Leibovitz

our pal, ex kid robot designer and current thunderdog wiz, tristan eaton is featured along with the lovely celine lau, buttoms up, in the latest expansion of the fishers factory-the gap in china, photographed by annie leibovitz. the campaign screams of the uniqlo ads that ran in NY featuring mortals such as terry richardson, ryan mcquinly, and the like. that said, i must add that the inclusion of tristen eaton to the mix surely balances the lameness of such pop icons as usher, and if i ever had to “gap together” i would have picked celine lau hands down. well done. by xy

generic man: naval white canvas shoes

in a world of brands it pays to be a generic man. shoes from the generic man, naval white canvas with lusciously soft leather interior, and the casual summer in indigo blue, with white leather laces. zero branding on the outside and detailed craftsmanship make these just that much more special. designed by ex generic costume designer kevin carney. check out the website or his store which we wrote about earlier in silver lake los angeles: mohawk shop general store. by dd

RIP freddie mercury: living on my own

saw a documentary on him the other night, and i was thinking how funny that as a young boy, it never occurred to me that freddie mercury was gay. i mean the band’s name, his elaborate outfits, etc. were all obvious cues… the fans, as with most rock bands, were quite manly and it’s funny to imagine the dilemmas he had to go through in his performances. in any case, he was a genius and as cheesy as this pop song may sound i have to say when i heard it and saw the video (for the first time last night) i kinda liked it. there is something terribly sad and beautiful about freddie mercury. by dd
