Don’t do harm on my purple suede boots

Adorian — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 10:59:21 +0000

In the United Kingdom, where if you, as a man, wear cologne and anything other than dirty sweat pants and an ill-fit t-shirt will be a suspected homosexual, I decided to buy a new pair of purple boots!

I mean, who gives a fuck?

PS. I’ll later write an article about the childish, so called, manliness of British males compared to European men (I mean, isn’t the UK in Europe? DS.

London – the most licious of playgrounds

theLicious — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 12:40:47 +0000

And the days stood still.

Not so much activity here lately? Well, the style guru duo aint the same duo if we aint together, so it’s high time I get my sad ass over to the country of footie, afternoon tea and dry gin. From next week London will be my new playground. Look out for the original style gurus – TrendGiveAfuck at your service.

iPod and phone charging Power Wellies!

Adorian — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 08:14:18 +0000

Orange, together with Gotwind, have designed thermoelectric wellingtons that charge your mobile phone using heat from your feet!

From their press release:
Twelve hours of stomping through the Glastonbury Festival in your Orange Power Wellies will give you enough power to charge a mobile phone for one hour. To increase the length of time you can charge your phone for, simply hot step it to the dance tent because the hotter your feet get, the more energy you produce.

Although still just a prototype and unavailable to buy, the Orange Power Wellies will be showcased by Orange at Glastonbury Festival later this month. So visit their “Chill n’ Charge” tent – you may see other cool eco-friendly charging things like the Foot Power Pump, as well as contests to win side-of-stage tickets…. and charge your phone, of course!

Game Boy boots!

Adorian — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 08:54:11 +0000

Love boots? Love retro? Love the classic game boy? I do! And I want these boots! They’d be perfect for dancing to chip music!

I guess you’d have to buy two game boys from 1989, but they only costs around $10 on eBay!

Buy an attitude at the Gallerian mall

STOCKHOLM.

ATTITUDE.

Buy yours at our place.

So now we can buy an attitude? Yes, the clothes you wear will affect the way you feel, but this ad still annoys me. Buy clothes, buy an attitude, buy a style, buy happiness. I buy R/I shades and select imagination. Turn on, tune in, drop out.

I’m a tie-o-holic!

Adorian — Sat, 29 May 2010 15:21:09 +0000

It’s raining. So I’m doing some house cleaning today before a good friend from Sweden arrives to share a couple of glasses of high-percentage alcohol. Sorting out all the shit (papers and bills) and clothes in my room. Here’s to show that I’m not all show [sic], I actually have ties in every colour!

Save our Festivals!

Adorian — Thu, 27 May 2010 08:15:00 +0000

I found and old ticket in a pile of rubble in a suitcase. Glade was happy times! This year, it was cancelled due to policy restrictions and too much police involvment.

A Facebook group tells more about closed down festivals and how to protect your other favourite festivals, and I urge you to join and continue the discussions:

“Last year saw the closure of the Big Green and Thimbleberry Festival. This year, so far, Strawberry Fair and now the Glade……….. How many more are facing similar problems?

The aim of this group will be to bring together all those who are saying ‘enough is enough’. Stop closing down our festivals. Excessive charges for policing and over the top Health and Safety are killing a lot of the small, independent festivals.
This has to stop…”

Visit Save Our Festivals here.

Take a look at how fun we had at Glade last year!

TrendGiveAfuck Home-Made FlipFlops!

Adorian — Sun, 23 May 2010 19:27:29 +0000

You can buy Flipflops for £20 or more, brand nor just American Apparel or other mainstream shop brand. In Japan you can buy flipflops of the exact same quality for 50 pence.

Better yet, you don’t have to give a fuck about where to buy’em – just make’em yourself! I don’t have any good tools at home yet, so I started with a nice foundation of cardboard and some cloth with help from a stapler gun. I think the prototypes are captain
