Single released 8th of December. The video features paintings and illustrations by Sarah Larnach. Directed by Frater [Benjie Davies and Jim Field].What else can I say?I missed her in IbizaRocks because the concert was 40-something € and I was having an economic crisis by then...well I still do...anyway,move your ass and listen to Ladyhawke if you still haven't.If you like this,you'll adore "Paris Is Burning".

Tektonik
Even if you think tektonik is so last year (if you've listened way too many times "Sucker" by Dim Chris or "Alive" by Mondotek (also knowned as the official tektonik anthem)...some people are not aware of it's existence.And I'm not even sure what it's about,so I'll check Wikipedia,just like every other day that I have an emergency.
Tecktonik (also known as "tck","electro dance" "vertigo", "Milky Way") is a form of dance based on a blend of techno styles (late 80s Vogue (dance), 90s Waving (dance) and old school Breakdancing).Check out Tears for Fears-"Mad World".The music Tecktonik is usually danced to is Electro house. Tecktonic has not yet succeeded in creating its own musicgenre, even though multiple attempts have been made.. Tecktonik originated in Paris, France and has grown in popularity through word-of-mouth and video sharing sites such as Dailymotion and YouTube.
Dancers also tend to have "futuristic", sometimes even gothic hair cuts and sometimes wear make-up designs such as a star around one eye. The neon colours on shirts are linked to the London Nu Rave fashion scene.
It borrows heavily from elements of glowsticking, and hip-hop dance moves including popping and locking, vogue and wacking.
Umm..so basically it's just a trend,kinda like emo...only that tektonik is not being hated by hypocrites,it involves a lot of dancing and it does not include suicide.And of course,gets you a lot of chicks.
Well...I'm very excited to meet as many "tektoniks" as I can and hope to learn something from it.Cause it's 2008 and I want to live my teenage era and discover as many other teenage cultures as I can.As I do not define myself with this dance-trend-thing I'm sure I can still enjoy some Mondotek.

New Pepsi Design
Pepsi changes logo....again.Why?Why would this make people buy more pepsi?When it comes to drinks...we love classic designs!Look at coke!For years...still red and white....still the same logo.
I don't like it,and to protest I'm going to buy as many actual Pepsi cans as I can.So when it doesn't exist anymore,I'm going to be the last person on earth with a classic Pepsi can.Yesss...
(anyway,I prefer coke.I know they both kinda taste the same,but coke is so much fun!)

I belong in the sixties
It's only the coolest 10 years in the history of humanity (& fashion) and this is the cutest video ever!!!
Put something on your head
Guess what!Those round-vintage-60's hats are back.So basically what you have to do is wear it big,but not huge!...and pretty.Just picture yourself in the sixties in the middle of autumn....okay then,Nancy Sinatra?Audrey Hepburn?Ah...
Oh and this is also back,just don't wear it like her.Not that colour,not that fabric,not that make-up,certainly not that age!

Song of the week 3
You've probably never heard of him...but that's why I'm here.When I first listened "In Step" by FrankMusic my body had an awkward reaction to the song,cause I was really addicted to it for a while there.Probably the video was the most genuine thing ever....and this time it's no different.He somehow dances on a huge piano...you know...from that Tom Hanks movie...anyway just listen to "3 little words" and then you'll understand.Power to the dance music!Yeah....(his beat boxing is sick)

London Fashion Week
Yes,I know it's been a month ago(sorry).I just didn't know what else to post.From all 4 capitals of Fashion Weekness,London is probably the least appreciated.I haven't done any posts about New york or Paris fashion week....so I thought this would be a good way to make people take London more seriously.

Shortbus (2006)
It's almost 8 pm and I think I'm gonna post something on my blog.Usually when I post something spontaneously on the blog...it means that I'm really excited.I just finished watching Shortbus (I would usually watch it later but I knew the movie had some pornographic scenes and my mom has the habit not to knock on the door so...).It is only one of the best movies I've seen in years.At first you might say it's creepy(you won't understand until you see it) but oh my god!It's fantastic...I don't think I can even describe what it's like....maybe too original for my describing capacity.I've seen "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" a couple of weeks ago and I fell in love....this one,far better.John Cameron Mitchell is the new genius on my list.
Oh,and if you think I'm too young to watch it,f**k you!I know you watch porn!
OMG!Jay Brannan did such a great job in the movie!He's so cute and...listen to his songs!
