Kanye and his Phoenix


So the short film by Mr.West premiered today. It's his first job at directing and I liked it. The camera work was brilliant, and the ballerina scene was mesmerising. I have to give it to the girls, holding that position must have amounted to some serious muscle cramping.

With regards to what this short film is trying to communicate to the viewer, with this regard, I feel it is a two birds (ha!) one stone type of nature. This is, in essence, firstly creating hype for his upcoming album. It had snippets of the songs in the album throughout (of which the one featuring Rihanna sounds like a big tune). The second bird is the bird of Kanye trying to tell everyone that he is more than just his own hype. It's like he's trying to convince those that say "I like Kanye's music but I hate him, he's such a prick". There's a lot of these people out there, and it pisses Kanye off. Mainly because he cares too much about what people think of him.
Yes, Kanye, we all love your music, and we love your directing skills. Now stop trying to get everyone to love you. Never going to happen.

I'm sure there will be a lot of hype surrounding how "the phoenix represents Kanye's career and how they're trying to change him and turn him into stone and how he will never let his career burn (even though it does anyway)" but that, again, goes back to the underlying issue of Kanye wanting everyone to love him and tell him "Yes, Kanye, you WILL be the greatest rapper of all time-hell, you already ARE!"

In a nutshell, my boy needs to go therapy. Nice suits though.

I Whip My Hurr Back and Forth, I Crack My Neck Doing It Too Hard

If I had a daughter that was a cross between Willow Smith and Hit Girl, consider me the Mother Don. The daughter of the best man in the world, Will Smith, has released a song that y'all know about, but the VIDEO. THE VIDEO. Is off the CHAHAIN!

Disclaimer: This girl is 9 years old. Her birth year is 2001. Two thousand and ONE!


Watch the video, feel jealous that you were not this awesome at the tender age of 9. And probably never will be. Unless your dad is the Fresh Prince, your mum was in The Matrix, and your Boss is Jigga Meyn.

Alexander Wang/Nike Collabo


Yes, you heard right. Although it's just a rumour, I can't even begin to imagine how great this would be. And if it's all lies, then we can blame UnBeige for getting us excited for nothing.

'Ard

No this is not a reel of ammo. I would know this. This is in fact a ring created by Karla Fox and it is a mighty bump price-wise but it's pretty awesome. Ideally this would be a bracelet with real ammo and when a girl runs out she can just take 'em off and put 'em in her pistol. What, you don't carry around a piece with you? Pshhh....

It's Getting Cold In Hurrrr, So Put On These Dope Garrrrrmz

Boys. This one's for you. Some key pieces for y'all to rock and stay warm this coming winter. We love y'all in fishnet string vests but summer's over (booooo)

BBC Ice Cream jumper that's actually quite nice.


Quilted Barbour jacket. Bring the countryside to the city, yizzurd.

Some more BBC, a gilet is bangorrrn.

Girls and guys all around the world, these Nike Air Royalty Harris Tweeds are the iiiiiish. Keep your toes warm still.


And this is to keep your eggheads warm. The one on the right is my favourite, it's the New Era and Woolrich collabo. Can't let the brain cells freeze!

Wrap up, look fresh. Peas out.

Tailoring On Crack

Martin Margiela is one of my favourite designers. Here is why.

Joker!

Aesthetically Pleasing People

If you haven't noticed already, I'm a bit obsessed with vampires. Probably because I secretly want to be one. Hmm. 
Last night I was watching The Vampire Diaries, a rehashed/copied version of Twilight (but better, because the lead girl is actually hot, and oh wait, can act, somewhat)

What I noticed was the disproportionate amount of hot men to hot girls, and then I was like, ohhh, the casting thinks they're being clever. Which they are. Who watches this shit? Girls between the ages of 13 and 33. Why do they watch it? Because vampires and all things related are hot, obviously. So why not have a programme dedicated to hot men, with a couple hot girls thrown in so noone realises what they're doing.

But I'm onto you, Vampire Diaries Casting. I'm onto you.

Exhibit A

This is Damon Salvatore, one of the vampire brothers. This is the evil/troubled one. The 'Bad Boy'.

Exhibit B

This is Stefen Salvatore. The good vampire brother. In case you hadn't clocked, there's a type of man to suit every girls taste.


Exhibit C


This is Mason Lockwood. New in town, he is a werewolf. But he doesn't care about BellaImeanElena. Yes they do all have to be topless.

Exhibit D

And this is Tyler Lockwood. May or may not turn into a werewolf. He is my favourite, which is why he isn't topless. I don't want any of you perving on him.

So I rest my case.

And for the fellas/ladies, we have here the two hot girls. One of them has a bent face, bless her, but she is still hot.



(If you just put your head to the side to see her face straighter, it's fine. I do it too.)

Back to the Crii-iiiiib

As soon as I touch down in London Town, these babies will find a new home in the Weezy.

Vampire Killing Kit. Yeah, you heard.



To continue the Halloween theme, we have here a Vampire Killing Kit.

Dont laugh. This is serious shit. Created in the 19th Century, this basically proves that they existed once upon a time ago......and probably still do....

I'm not smiling.

Getting ready for Halloween!

Halloween is one of my favourite celebrations, and this year I will be getting my nails done, hair done, everything big. I haven't decided what to go as yet but best believe it will be scary. I don't rate any girl that goes sexy. I'm like Lindsay Lohan in Mean Girls when she shows up at the Halloween party. I take this shit seriooooso.

My talons will be getting the Wah Nails treatment, and this is the look I'm going for...

So dope! Check out Wah Nails other ish, cos they do amazing designs.

http://wah-nails.com/

It's a lil' bit overpriced, especially if you're used to Green Lanes nail salon prices, but if you do it for a special occasion then it's aite.

As for the options, I'm thinking either Dead Bride, Hit Girl (from Kick Ass fame) or a Ghostbuster. I hate paying money for costumes so if anyone wants to fund me, I'm cool with this. I promise to catch real Ghosts.

Awesome Directors, Awesome Films: Gaspar Noé



Gaspar Noé is, like Lars Von Trier, one of those film directors that pisses a lot of people off. They are more infamous than famous for their shocking films that seem to disgust more than entertain.

This doesn't mean they're not entertaining. I mean, if what you get from the word "entertaining" is showgirls and glitter then that's not what I meant.

'Irréversible' is Noé's most infamous film before his most recent one, 'Enter the Void'. The story is told in reverse and it's known for its controversial 9 mins long rape scene that ends in a brutal beating. I know that a lot of women walked out on this film in Cannes when it was first shown, and I find it shameful that they did.

It is very difficult to watch, and it made me feel physically sick, but I forced myself to watch it. Rape happens to a lot of men and, more so, women. The fact that it has been, and continues to be, used as a strategic tool in many wars shows how it is something that is of vast significance.

This is why I applaud Noé- because he shows us, in all its brutality, how LE TEMPS DETRUIT TOUT ("Time Destroys Everything"),  the truths of humanity, unedited, in all its raw reality. You may ask, why show a rape that lasts nine minutes? I'd like to take this opportunity to quote Vincent Cassel: "When you see violence in movies in general, it's very quick and painless, which isn't what it's like. This is what it's like."

This isn't Hollywood. This isn't a couple of aesthetically pleasing people admitting their love for each other after 2 weeks. This isn't mad luck on the verge of ridiculous. This is not a happy ending.

This is why you need to watch this film and then go and see "Enter the Void".

Be prepared to use your brain. You're not going to get a lot of images out of your head, and believe me, you will have a sick feeling in your stomach everytime you remember particular scenes but hey, look at it this way; at least you're not being lied to. As Cassel, one of the actors of the film says, "it shows us the animal in us. The problem with the audience is that they don't want to see the animal that's in all of us. Gaspar's film forces us to see that animal".

Word


New Era caps do all pretty much looks the same-this doesn't mean I don't love them, don't get me wrong- but when they bring out new designs it's hella refreshing. This is but one of the designs dedicated to the big New York city/Jigga meyn. Stay fresh y'all.
