Grime Vs Fashion

I still don't know about dances and fashion shows, just don't really think they fit together very well, and the fashion is generally a bit low grade! But I'm still gona get my arse down here and check out how they pull this off, if they do.

DEVIATION SESSION #27 - WEDNESDAY 10th FEBRUARY 2010

Come join us for the first Deviation session of 2010. The best midweek session in London returns.

Deviation is back on Wednesday 10th February, returning to the Gramaphone basement with Resident DJ Benji B, MC Judah and special guest Mala.

We’ve wanted Mala to play at Deviation for sometime and look forward to his special bass heavy set in the Gramaphone basement.

As well as running DMZ, he produces under Digital Mystikz with Coki and has released on the most forward thinking record labels including Tempa, Hyperdub and Soul Jazz Records.

Hunk of the Hump.

This week, our bit of Wednesday evening sexy is Justin Timerlake, aka JT, aka Justin Trousersnake! I'm properly getting my cheese on this week, but it's been a stressful one so far, so when I see JT in these new Givenchy adverts on my way home, a smile always reaches my face! Mmmm...

I know he cried on Punk'd, but he's STILL fit, I don't care what none a ya'll say!

Culture Tuesday.

 

This week we recommend getting your arse's down to the Victoria & Albert Museum for the Decode- Digital Design Sensations exhibition. Running until 11th April 2010, the exhibition showcases the latest developments in digital and interactive design from small screen based graphics to large-scale instillation's. The exhibition includes works from  Daniel Brown, Golan Levin and Daniel Rozin as well as emerging designers such as Troika and Simon Heijdens. BLURB-

The exhibition will explore three themes. Code as a Raw Material will present pieces that use computer code to create new designs in the same way a sculptor works with materials such as clay or wood. This section will look at how code can be programmed to create constantly fluid and ever changing objects. On display will be a new piece by Daniel Brown from his On Growth and Form series, inspired by the V&A's collection. Brown uses advanced mathematics to generate organic depictions of imaginary plants that continuously grow, producing new buds, blossoms and stalks. As soft, organic digital images, these generative flowers will continue to develop and grow over the course of the exhibition.

The second theme, Interactivity, will look at designs where the viewer directly influences the work. Visitors will be invited to interact with and contribute to the development of the works, many of which show designers playing with the boundaries of design and performance. One object will be Golan Levin's Opto-Isolator, a human-sized mechanical eye which follows the gaze of the viewer, blinking one second after its visitor blinks. Weave Mirror by Daniel Rozin is a responsive sculpture that recreates an image of the viewer on its 768 motorized planes. A smoky portrait comes into focus as the planes rotate into place.

The final theme, The Network, will focus on works that comment on and utilise the digital traces left behind by everyday communications, from blogs in social media communities to mobile communications or satellite tracked GPS systems. This section explores how advanced technologies and the internet have enabled new types of social interaction and media for self expression. Designers reinterpret this information to create works that translate data into striking forms. These range from live, real-time visualisations of flight patterns by Aaron Koblin to a data mining project by Jonathan Harris and Sep Kamvar. Their project We Feel Fine extracts comments by bloggers from all over the world on how they are feeling and represents the information as colourful, floating spheres. Users can filter the information by selecting an emotion as well as bloggers' gender, age and the city and weather conditions where he or she is based to reveal anonymous, often highly personal, statements about modern life today.

Sounds interesting! Entry is a fiver for adults and 4 quid for concessions, go here to book tickets.

Jill Scott!!

Our favourite belter Jill Scott is gonna be baaaaack!! She is currently recording her fifth studio album entitled "The Light of the Sun", not only that, the busy beaver is also readying herself for the release of two new films, a cartoon series, a new addition to her Ashley Stewart intimate apparel line and a main stage stint on the upcoming Lilith Fair tour.

The rest of the info is totally rinsed off Billboard and I have broken it down because you don't wanna read all the boring shit!!

April 2 - Tyler Perry's "Why Did I Get Married Too" bows in theaters. Set in the Bahamas, it is the sequel to Perry's successful 2007 entry, "Why Did I Get Married." Scott is joined by fellow returning co-stars Janet Jackson, Michael Jai White and Perry.

What's good in Jill's Calender?

Mid-2010, Scott is next set to provide the voice of X-Men heroine Storm for the animated mini-series "Black Panther." The series is a partnership between Marvel Animation and BET Networks and will also feature the voices of Djimon Hounsou, Kerry Washington and Alfre Woodard.

Also in 2010 - Jill releases a new plunge-style bra developed by Scott's J Heather Inc. The bra is the latest product in the joint venture between Scott's company and Ashley Stewart, established in 2008 with the launch of the Scott-inspired "Butterfly Bra."

Spring/Summer 2010 - "The Light of the Sun" is the follow-up to Scott's gold-certified 2007 album, "The Real Thing," which has sold 644,000 according to Nielsen SoundScan. The new album is due to coincide with the singer's return to the stage as a featured performer on the 2010 Lililth Fair tour, with summer dates still being finalized (lilithfair.com). The performer lineup includes Sarah McLachlan, Mary J. Blige, Sheryl Crow, Erykah Badu and Colbie Caillat.

CAN'T WAIT FOR ALL THIS!! Jill Scott is a classic!!

So it looks as if they are back with a online ezine bang.......Anglomania kind of went off the radar for a minute, but now they are all recruited up and ready to get their Sports and Fashion on! I am quite happy about this because there are not that many sports-fashion focused magazines about, I mean, there is Sportswear International, but that's some expensive shit right there. I don't feel like they are very forward either, so I'm hoping that the new and improved Anglomania ezine will wow us with it's features and styling.

Brittany Spears in Dolce & Gabanna- why can this chick NEVER get it right??

Ciara in Givenchy- this girl just can't pull off the high fashion look.

Mary J Blige in Gucci- she is one of the most talented, beautiful and probably richest women in the world so why does she insist on wearing garms you could cop down Dalston market??

So these ladies are Kim D'Eon, Coco Rocha and Cheryl Hickey apparently?? and I really don't need to say much more. Vomit.

Pure trash! Eugh!

BeyBey in Stephane Rolland. Again this chick can just never get it quite right, nearly there but not quite.

Katy Perry in Zac Posen. This dress is just plain rank!

And then we have the good un's, thank god!

Toni Braxton in David Meister. Good to see Toni has got her cougar swagger on check!

RiRi in Elie Saab. When doesn't she get it right?

Our fave multi-racial couple looking adoreable as usual.

Jenifer Lopez in Versace. Mad to think she popped out 2 kids not too long ago.

An exhibition of fashion-tastic photography at the Liberty exhibition space this February and March.

Curated by the ever-innovative people over at Spring Projects, this show features work that twitches between high-end glam and something more than a little LA-style trashy. Look out in particular for Alice Hawkins' deceptively complex images.-Spoonfed
