London Fashion Love Letters: J. Maskrey

Hi Perm,

Dearest pen pal, thank you for penpalling with me during the Fashion Week. As the last goodbye, I’ll present you a little film showcasing the SS11 collection of J. Maskrey. It might not be sentimental enough to be used in a goodbye context, but hey, sobbing is overrated anyway. Lets just start waiting for the next Fashion Week: hopefully it’ll be as provocative and sparkly as this film.

Here’s a handful of Rita Hayworth’s Hollywood glamour and the hallucinogenic aesthetic of Jimi Hendrix! (No, that wasn’t just random, it was J. Maskrey’s own description for the film)

ATP by Matt Groening Tweetathon

So some of you might know, I went to the ATP last weekend and did hour by hour on-site tweets. It wasn't easy, I don't talk to myself all the time that much but it was pretty interesting to have to busy myself all the time so I had things to tell. If you missed it, we had two cool guest tweets and here's the highlights of my past weekend with pictures. Follow us (or me, basically) at @supersweet!

Hand Me My Oscar: Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll

Yes, (hold the applause) yours truly, is to appear as a spikey haired punk groupie, looking rather drugged up in a scene for the upcoming biopic of Ian Dury, Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll coming out this January 8th.

Granted my acting consisted of sitting on a couch for five hours, refusing the fake weed rolly's because I would only embarrass myself with my squinted eyes-mouth-I-don't-smoke look and gawking at Andy Serkis unprofessionally hoping he would splutter out "Gollum, Gollum". And the highlight of this experience? A definite flirty compliment from the supporting actor: "You had really pretty hair before...now you look like you've stuck your finger in a socket" What. A. Charmer.

So if you see a really narky punk girl shouting at the said support actor for standing in front of a viewing of Spartacus, please feel free to boo and hiss.

The SS Workout "SWEAT WITH PYRAMIDDD/STARFUCKER"

Formly known as seducers of the cosmic variety, Starfuckers they have transformed (as of two month ago) to a less arrogant spell-check inducing title Pyramiddd. So at Camden's Flowerpot venue, after delays all round, (thank you "medical emergency" on Northern line), I bopped to the US wonders on their first ever tour in the UK.

A lot like Daft Punk on steroids, the lazer popping, sweat band wearing act were just so darn athletic, all I wanted to do was strip, don my trusty sports-bra and spandex leggings combo and start a workout there an' then (ugh, if only I didn't have that little remaining self-respect left). But Pyramiddd really have some serious moves to get in shape to, so I got my tinkering brain to work and compiled wicked workout inspired by Pyramiddd's energetic show. NOW, GET YOUR SWEAT ON!

"The Schizophrenic" (WARM UP):
Find your inner calm....then listen to the voices in your head...now you are ready!

"The Keyboard Thrust"
Get those digits in keyboard playing form, stick your arms out moving up and down, then in a repressed sexual motion, move your pelvis in and out at the same time. Repeat 8x

"The Assaulting Air Guitar"
Hold your imaginary guitar, now swing left to right like you've never swung before! But remember not to go all the way round, that's just showing off...Repeat 10x

"The Distorted Yelp"
For those who don't have a voice-altering microphone, smack both hands over your mouth and scream, shout or sing. The result? To sound like a kitty being thrown at the electronic fan.Yes please. Repeat 6x

"The Pouncing Power-Walk"
Not just running on the spot, your arms have a to flail about out-of-time with your legs in a power-walking pose, then, if you are feeling super ballsy, pounce on fellows in the street and stare them out until they join in too!

"The Cyndi Lauper" (WARM DOWN)
Breathe, Stretch your ears, point your left arm to the sky, and shriek "Girls Just Want To Have Fun". Then sway side to side, left foot touching right, and then vice versa. Warning: You will experience a teenage flashback in the process...



Now go get physical and check out their last remaining gigs!

FEARS!

Me and Ellie Harvey made a bunch of short films together for the fashion section, we call the series Fears. I was going to edit it myself but postal strike (aka shit) happened and so the duty was shifted to Ellie. And thank god she did it because it's creepy and beautiful, whereas if it was me, it would just be creepy (and slightly disturbing). It's my proudest moment yet so please go check it out. And when you've done that, come back and see this nice surprise cameo by Julian Gross from Liars... How can a silly clip turn out nice like that eh?

As if that's not enough, I've got 3 of my favourite songs mixed by James Spankie for you to listen to too! This project is star-studded I'm not even going to start name dropping because it will go on forever but thank you to everyone who took part. I love you all!

Hitler's Reaction to the Oasis Split

Free Track: Dead Man's Bones

We're being super kind this week and bring you 2 really good songs to download. This one I'm particularly excited about. Did you know Ryan Gosling's got a new band? We didn't. All we knew was that he had a band (not this one) and we're not supposed to talk about it...

Well guess what, this new one is really good! The band is Dead Man's Bones, it's him and Zach Shields, and the whole thing is themed towards death. It's morbidly beautiful and the song we're giving away is 'My Body's a Zombie For You'. We hope you like it. Those that are in love with his role in The Notebook should stop being a hopeless romantic and go rent Stay, it's way way better. In fact, I'm ripping some ideas off that film right now!
