Are you fucking serious? This is FASHION.

One day, my fingers will tap at these keys until something interesting and pertinent results. This day has not yet arrived, and my lazy ass can only provide you with some random thoughts and visuals for the day.

1. I love Fashion so much I begin hate it. It's hypocritical, ugly, nasty, and rude. People in charge of it tend to be absolutely unreasonable heroin junkie bitches with god-awful taste. But alas, I still worship it. We may have our arguments. I may find myself surprised with Fashion's behavior, appalled something I believed was so genuine and so generous could be so fickle and so foul. I may swear I never want to see Fashion again, but next thing you know, I'm groping Fashion inappropriately in the fitting room, clawing at Fashion gasping for more. I can throw Fashion away, put my hands up and say "No, not today, thanks. We're over."...then I get home, and I type Fashion into an internet search engine, unable to resist seeing what Fashion has been up to. Damn you Fashion, damn you to hell for leading me on and allowing me to hope for us to finally be at peace with one another.

Being said, the Philadelphia University Annual Fashion Show is tomorrow! Tickets are still on sale at Kanbar tomorrow from 11 to 3, as are t-shirts. Academy of Music, 7 p.m. Definately a worthwhile show...at least from the right side of the stage (;

Also, check out StyleLine, PhilaU's own Fashion Lifestyle newsletter. And no, you won't be seeing it in the program at the show...because PhilaU funds are being used to offer students a wide array of customized socks available for purchase at the bookstore. Check back in a few days for the Spring 2009 issue.

Click. I take no responsibility for this.

2. The world contracts and expands... I find myself appalled at how small it can be, and how uncomprehendably large it is as well. Not much makes sense, and much less is fair. Who is justice? I'd like to shake her hand and ask her a question or two.

3. Milan. Milan. Milan, je t'aime.

4. Kid Cudi. iTunes this man, I feel some real potential. I'm digging some "Dat New New" right now.
Press play.

5. Katvan. Two photographers with a banging sense of humor and intuitive feel for composition.
When everything feels like the movies.

6. Pier Nicola D'Amico. This man went to Cooper Union. He's a spray-painting, skateboarding city boy. Enough said.
You bleed just to know you're alive.


7. Saverio Truglia. This man's photography is so beautiful I could cry. You know when you see someone's work and you think, Hey, I'd so do that, I wish I had thought of it but unfortunately some infinately more talented fucker beat me to it? That is this man. Bless his heartsoul.

I'd give up forever to touch you.

8. Hannes Kutzler. Sprechen eie Deutsches? I will for you Hannes.

The closest to heaven that I'll ever be.


Now that sufficient time has been wasted, I must depart. Fashion's calling.
