When The Cats Away... Part 3 (very delayed)

Hey there, so i realise its been forever since PHM was a go, but here is the third installation of that event lol. This time it was a fashion show! to be honest it was so long ago that iv totes forgot the story that was meant to go with it. Awkward. but anyway, here are the pictures:

PS. I went to fashion week, snuck into the student 'Metamorphosis' show, and was lucky enough to sit in the second row!!! so excited about life! the graduate students work was amazing, i seriously was grinding my teeth with intimidation and fear. then the next day i got a email saying that i will be reviewing the menswear show for thevine.com!!! it was so good, you can ready my review here. If you like, no pressures. LOL. I got there semi late so all the front row seats were taken so i had to sit in the 4th row, which is still pretty good considering i didn't actually pay. My Comme skort had a second outing which was good. Need to justify the purchase. Anyway better go do homework, which is slowly consuming my life.

Sorry about this belated post, iv been fighting with my html thing and thus only now can i post.
During the week went to a launch of the new Trimapee Collection at the store in QV building. I mustered up some courage and wore, for the first time, my Issey Miyake pleated pants. lol They are a very peculiar shape that billowed in the wind. It was quit interesting the number of looks I got from people as I walked from the station. I quite enjoyed wearing the pants, but they are such an iconic identifiable piece I cant wear them too often. When I bought them I full well new I wouldn’t wear them every day, but I loved them as a collectors piece, like an artwork. They have such a simple design: two geometric ‘C’ shaped pieces of polyester laser cut and straight sewn together, then diagonally pleated. The idea is fantastic, because the pleats accommodate to every body shape and make the garment drape in such interesting fantastic ways. I’v tried to wear it as a top, which is half successful, because I don’t have the use of one arm when I do that but I suppose that’s called suffering for the art. At the actual launch was quite nice. Nothing other than the normal free beer and people dressed in black situation. I wandered around with my friends, it was pretty fun. The clothing was drapey, black and leathery as per usual. The center of the store had a 4 mannequin installation display of the new collection, which was quite apocalyptic and androgynous. Later that night some person, who I know and quite frankly couldn’t care less about said to me: “that skirt and boot combination is 2 months too late.” I found that amusing because for one I was wearing pants, secondly he actually thought I care about what he thinks and would benefit from his input. I truly hate people who are so elitist and for what? I pity him. I know that he is insecure, I know enough about him to be able to rationalize his comments. Being a narcissistic faux suicidal wanker cant be easy.
And on that angry rant i'm going to go and finish my homework.

When The Cats Away... Part 2

hey guys!
omg look at this, two days in a row and posting!  You might be getting me confused with an actual blogger. haha I'm feeling so proud of myself. *blushes* Anyway, im going to try and get all these backed up posts out of the way. i feel kinda lame posting about these things that happened last week because i just did a round of the blogs and everyone has already committed themselves and done the civil duties as bloggers. But not i... until now
Anyway so the next thing that was on in the Pent house Mouse series of events was the fashion raquet hosted by Pat and Gretta from Comeback Kid. It was really quite fun. We chatted for a brief second about life, her boyfriend, who conveniently happened to have had 'food poisoning' this time, and couldn't make it. hahahaha, reminds me of my days in highschool, where my fictitious 'girlfriend' lived far away, and no one had ever seen her, but she existed and i wasn't gay! hahaha We also chatted about my pathological shopping disorder and 'who im wearing this time'. I am in fact turning into Edie from ab fab... im just one DKNY tracksuit and a pair of Lacroix clip-ons away from the total transition. LOL
Anyway, the evening was great, Architecture in Helsinki DJed but i wouldn't know because as per usual i missed out on the action because i was smoking. Don't judge me i'm giving up...slowly. lol
well here are the picture:
ps. i need a new camera, mine has once again become a dirty slut. what should i get?
cheers, vlad



i wonder who that dickhead with the bucket is...? drunk again, im assuming at this point Architecture were DJing


Is that not the cutest thing ever? Gretta, netball skirts become you!

When The Cats Away... Part 1

Hi there,
So its fashion week here in little old Melbourne and naturally, me not being organised am not attending any shows. So I'm trying to make up for it in fashion parties. And i need some where to wear my new purchases. This time i went with my Comme Des Garcons skort, more like Papua New Guinea islander dress with a fold of fabric creating a descreat pant like shape in a tartain printed polyester. Also i had on this $6.50 tee shirt i baught at a convinience store with a massive tiger on the front, and my cherry docs. I felt special. Anyway, the first show i attended was the Pent House Mouse. It was set in an ex military/naval base in the city, had a nice rustic wood paneled charm. I got there late and missed out on the free beer and had to pay $7 per beverage. Was a touch disappointed. There was some interesting art installations. My personal favorite was the Mahican tepee made out of floral cloth. As we were sitting inside some models poped in and started filming for some show. Wouldnt have a clue what its for but we sat there engaged in polite conversation (saying watermelon repetedly and chucling, apparently thats what your meant to say to look normal) pretending not to notice the camera. After that we migrated to the other sections of the venue. I stayed there for about an hour because i was just so tired and not in the mood to socialise with people (it had been a long day, too much public transport). my frinds kept patying on, im told it got messy...
anyway, here are the pics! stay tuned for the next wave of posts before another dark hole of lazyness.

Where The Wild Things Are

Hey!!
So, i just watched the movie "Where the wild things are" (as you may have guessed by the title of this post). Such a sweet movie. The monsters looked so real. I was really impressed (which to be honest, isn't saying much cos a surprised kitten impresses me).
The movie actually freaked me out at times, when some characters would undermine Max causing rifts in the group. I loved the scenes of destruction party because they remind me of recent nights out.
The other week me and my friends went to a Lederhosen themed party. 'What could possibly be wrong with men in short leather pants?' we thought. I even stayed up till 2am super gluing braid onto leather just to gain free entry. We should have turned away when we saw a topless 60 year old man in leather pants and nipple clips and a beard leaving that seedy seedy seedy gay club. But no, we persisted. there were no under 30's other than us. Nothing will be able to wash away the memories of that club. PROJECTING DIRTY PORN IN SEPIA TONE DOESN'T MAKE IT ART HOUSE!!! Wow, started talking about a innocent children's movie and now i am onto this. Nice.
The only way we could psychologically cope with the surroundings was to be drunk. And drink we did. Until the lube on the stripping pole and scattered condoms weren't at all disturbing. We hit a point and turned into little monsters. Nothing was safe. Every skin toned elongated balloon was popped, nibblies thrown everywhere, glasses shattered, all this whilst looking fantastic dressed as Austrians. After a short stint in hell, we left and on the way to another club we found an abandoned warehouse... Yep you guessed it! We ran in and climbed the stairs, i distinctly remember the sound of shattering windows. It was so cool! Imagine doing a shoot there... after that we parted ways and went home. Which was for the best because i had work the next day. mmm see im responsible!
Coincidentally, my latest op shop purchases lend themselves quite easily to this theme. I found this Amazing brown mohair cardigan and amazing pair of English men's clogs. Soooo good and all from one Savers hawl. Winter here i come!!
Anyway enough ranting, Vlad. Here are the pictures:

Just do it yourself...

Hey guys!
you may have realised by now that i am horrendous with the concept of posting on time. I just keep forgetting/dead after work. So now that im not working this week (last week before uni stars) im going to give it my all and post as many posts as possible. Also i did realise that i never ended up posting the first Fashion DIY video for The Vine that i did. Iv already filmed the next one and am filming another one his week, because im such a celebrity and TV personality... My name will be in lights soon! Watching the video i have realised that my hair style (at the time) is not my friend. Its kinda like a quiff with baby ponytail. I thought that having my hair back would make me look younger. I was going for 13 so that Tavi and i could be bff's. LOL I was wrong. Instead it highlighted my bird like features. My nose to face ratio and excess neck skin is deffs on the fix list. Might DIY it... haha *awkward*
Anyway iv changed my hair, still working on the face but here is the video anyway plus some stills:

Hola!
ok, so i realise that i have a problem, weakness in character some would say... Yes, i bought another pair of shoes. but these ones are really cool so dont judge me to harshly, please. hahahaha
I am proud to say that im becoming more and more excentirc. This point only hit home when my friend Izabel said to me: "You can wear that crochet table cloth as a top", to which i said: "Nahh, maybe a bit to much for me". She then laughed and reminded me of my choice of skorts and shoes. So here are the shoes in all there glory!
But i'll give you a bit of back ground on the shoes, so i dont sound like a total maniac. These shoes are from the Yohji Yamamoto 2001 spring collection in which he collaborated with Adidas. This collection was the front runner for the Y-3 brand which was later launched in 2003. These shoes were part of the main line and thus are pretty special. I think they are so cool, because they are ridiculously comfortable and on top of that I'm nearly eye level with normal people when i wear them. I'm just trying to work out what to wear them with and how fast can i run in them... hahaha
ps. I'm not wearing tights, i photoshoped my feet out of the pictures. FYI
:D
