The First Days of Spring

The First Days of Spring - A Film By Noah And The Whale from charlie fink on Vimeo.




A 45 minute film created by Noah and the Whale, was made to be the visual to the audio of their new album. This short movie is undoubtedly brilliant and has a really great soundtrack. Watch it for a few minutes if you have it. Oh! and can you find the black lips?

A Long Ways From The Parent Trap.

This is Orlando speaking, having pulled an Osama on Matt's blog I stumbled upon a photoshoot thanks to my partner in crime, Matt.



The reigning Princess of Coke (not the soda) has one upped herself once again. Yu Tsai shot the bisexual fire crotch with fellow up and comer Petey Wright. Ever heard of threesomes? Ever heard of nip slips?



She has.










She's come a long way since this little diddy, hasn't she?



Signing off, O.

Maybach by David LaChapelle


There's no surprise that I'm obsessed with David La Chapelle. He is the Andy Warhol of my time. Pop art is nothing without him. I've seen the documentary "Eye Candy" three or four times now and can't get enough of it. I think watching that inspires me as much as looking at his photographs. It's amazing that La Chapelle, in this time where people are scared to cross lines, go well beyond the boundaries of conservative photography. Take a look at other photos from the campaign...






Holy Hands!


Check out the hands on him!

Have you seen these?


Dr. Martens by Subversive Jewelry shoes created for Interview's 40th Anniversary vending machine at Art Basel, Miami.

I love the idea of this, ever since I saw a friend put spike chains around his boots before we went out to a club. It's an accessory that doesn't have to much excess in my opinion. There are so many possibilities for this type of accessory. I want to make my own,and with my month off this could become a reality. It sounds like a holiday plug but they would make a really cool gift.
Here's a few more with a traditional heel...
