television shows....
This is the best show ever, Kate is hilarious, a good mom and she actually has a teddy bear tattooed on her ankle. AH MAY ZING.
I dont like this...its gross and creepy and sick. A little JonBenet Ramsey for me...
"However, I think that a lot of the brands out there need to start realizing this as well. The revolution has been televised, raped, and is over people. Streetwear and thus street culture is in its nature something revolutionary, or reactionary, but what the hundreds of brands (no pun intended) are doing right now is not. It is rehashing memories which (and let’s be honest here) most of them have never even had. They are regurgitating memories of people in You Tube videos."-Steven Vogel
real shit.
I took maybe three pictures.
Ill be more than happy to point you in a direction to view photos if that it the purpose for your visit.
Anyways as I started getting into the whole picture taking thing I had a conversation with my boy about graffiti.
Do I take pics of all the sets or fuck it? FUCK IT Why? Graffiti is meant to be in alleys and at night so when the sun comes up it’s seen, a surprise. Inconspicuous and not a ‘show’ for the city to be able to say 'see, we get down with the urban communities'. These pieces wont even be left near city hall where they were done, they will be brought to a rec center or some unknown location. Of course I am happy that graffiti and its artist and finally getting the recognition it/they deserves and I was happy to watch these people turn nothing into something then change it again into something great. But I'd rather go around Toronto and take pics of pieces for y'all.
Ugh I somewhat feel really 'conscious' when rereading that and it is not meant in that way. I respect the craft and how far it has come but didnt want to take pics in such a mainstream environment.
Oh and thank you Ronnie for helping Keesh figure out what they all said.
Here is a pic just to give you a feel of how it was set up.
Asians working out right downtown. I thought they were dancing...
These kids were so cute, Ill put the video up of them dancing.
Toronto performer. Please note the outfit....this is why I cant support it...ur wearing a baby plaid knapsack and a plaid skirt that has some french maid thing on it, knee high fish nets..
This is about the time we ran to buy beer and drink out of Mickey Dee's cups at city hall. We had to drink if we were going to spend more time listening to 'cause' music and looking at Wu-tang tees.
This is my friend. He is showing me the secret pendant he uses to get all the ladies...did I mention he is Asian? AMAZING.
Okay so here we go....
I'm ready...are you? Here it comes....
Basically last year around this time there were maybe 10 tees (not brands, maybe 15 if you include a random from brands like AG) for ladies to choose from. Today there is 150...okay that is a bit embellished but almost always when I check my email there is usually a 'check this new shit launching' or that 'brand coming out' which should be good because it gives me more to choose from right? NOPE, just slowly breaking down the hard work and thought that was once put into the game.
Now people and they momma's making female tees with a slew of up (or down depending on how you feel) and coming (slash shortly leaving) brands, do they just wake up one day like 'I'm going to make tees, I don't even care what they look like'?
If all their shit was bananas Id be going bananas but it seems like there is one or two okay to dope tees and the rest are just shit. In my opinion just release the good shit. You don't need to launch 5-10 tees at once just because the next bitch did it.
There are some OG brands that I love, respect and will continue to rock. But just because there is a new line and it is categorized as 'streetwear' or 'trendy' or list on hypebeast/slamxhype doesn't mean I wanna buy it....
Just because most trill people wake up and throw on anything doesn't mean you can have the same approach to designing one.
