OF MICE AND MENSWEAR A/W 11


Nirvana circa 1991


Raf Simons circa 2011




Comme Des Garcons circa 2011


The funny Comme hair reminded me of that wig that Raquel Zimmerman wears in Jeurgan Tellers book Zimmerman. It's not trying to be real or seamless it's very 'wiggy', there is something beautifully synthetic and pathetic about the crappness of it.


Dazed & Confused Cover by Marianno Vivanco Circa 2007


Mugler Circa 2011

CLEVER YOUNGER ME



My older sister who i shared a bedroom with for the best part of my innocently mispent childhood and just told me the other night that i would sleep in my school uniform so that i didn't have to get dressed in the morning! I had totally forgotten this, what a genius. If i could go back in time i would be high fiving myself for sure.


Sometimes it really hits me that i was one of those kids that people didnt want to babysit or take to the circus etc.. but most importantly i seemed to be completely unaware of this and as far as i was concerned i was cruising through my youth and fitting (like a glove) into every social strata known to the human race.


Here is a picture of me on my confirmation day in my school uniform.

HEYA TWO THOUSAND AND ELEVEN, NICE TO MEET YA





.... and here we are now with a brand new squeaky clean year, she's pure as the driven snow, she's a bright new penny in a shallow drain, she's a lamb, with a curly bright white pelt and a soul like a sparkling clean plate straight out of a well salted dishwasher ....ahhh i can do better than that....she's a virgin beauty with alabaster skin like a sea worn stone, smooth and poreless, fresh and lightly salted. She's a face lit up by a cigarette at a party when you're higher than the Empire state and her voice is soft and her skin is honey and she's all letting the smoke crawl out of her mouth and curl around her chin like a girl you saw in a movie once, never left you and here she is now sitting in front of you with her beautiful little collar bones and she's smiling and her eyes are endless and in them they are holding everything, hope, love, glory, the rollercoaster, the theme park of everything in those eyes, Bumper cars, Waltzers, Ghost trains, Pirate ships, Death slides, Candyfloss, Burgers, Mini donuts, Ice cream, Goldfish in a bag, Big wheels....looking down all over it all cross legged on a cloud up there just looking down, searching for this famous two thousand and eleven that everyones talkin about. Ready to take it on with relish.... with chutney, tomato ketchup, mayonaise, butter.... Kerrygold of course, keep it Irish, remember your roots and where you come from. Truth and beauty and all the rest. Come on two thousand and eleven my arms are open my bosom is ample i'm ready for you now. Where have you been all my life?
