Katy Perry Sucks

I normally don't like saying negative things about people, I just like spreading the love really...but I just read a SPOT ON review of that silly girl Katie Perry's latest album.

"Despite the deceptively 'edgy'title, this albums message is clear: playing a lesbian is ok to get a guy but gender stereotypes are not to be fucked with. - and that means real guys can't possibly be gay. In short, the backlash against feminism now has a soundtrack - and its using effeminate men as its flogging whip.
Two of the most offensive tracks are annoyingly the catchiest, and as such are singles. Case A is a chart topping 'I kissed a girl'. Perry's bar-sexual ode does nothing to validate homosexual experimentation, but is merely an affirmation of her heterosexuality, "just to try it, hope my boyfriend don't mind it". Girls are 'magical' but not fuckable. She kissed a girl and liked it because it gave her man a hard on.
Case B is the emo-bashing 'Ur So Gay'. That's gay as in synonymous with being skinny, wearing eye make up and having a small penis, the remedy for which is to hang yourself with an H&M scarf. The ideal of manly men and girly girls is pushed in a watered down version throughout, negated by tragic puns (see "you're not a man, you're a mannequin"). These antiquated ideals are all set to a backdrop of recycles Kelly Clarkson demos and Avril Lavigne off-cuts. Never mind boycotting mayonnaise, take Katy Perry off your shopping list."

Here is a much better version - Thanks Max!

Gareth Pugh Dress - Uber Safety Conscious

I am loving me some Gareth Pugh at the moment. His features in I-D and Pop this issue are excellent and one dress sticks in my mind ... safety pin heaven.

GEM GEMS stars in ONE

Did a photo shoot today in Edinburgh for ONE Magazine (www.IamONE.co.uk). My photographer friend Gemma came to model for me and we had such a laugh. The brief was re-creating a look from the 60s and I knew Gemma would be perfect at her hair, make up and clothes...leaving it up to her...how right I was! She looked AMAZING!

I will upload some proper photos from the day later...for now - the polaroids!

For the love of Luke Worrell

He may be a whipper snapper of 18 years old, but this kid has style. He's already graced the pages of Vogue, ID, Dazed and Confused, Pop and done ads for Marc Jacobs, Topman and Vivienne Westwood. Le male de Agyness Deyn?!

Prague Writers' Festival

Nothing more than spectacular. Not only was the city hot, beautiful and inspiring but I was able to see it all being paid as a photographer. This years Festival has based on the 40 years since the Prague Spring of 1968, with speakers like Petr Kral, Natalia Gorbanevskaya, Paul Auster, Margaret Atwood and Günter Kunert.

Here are some of my pics!

Jim Lambie - GOMA exhibition

My mate Daniel and I went to see the new Jim Lambie exhibit, Forever Changes, in Glasgow's Modern art gallery. I've been a fan of monsieur Lambie since his Turner Prize installation in 2005 ... but I have to say I think his 2004 installation view, Mental Oyster (2nd pic below), in the Anton Kern Gallery New York was inspiring.

The one in Glasgow was spectacular, the floor design was done to perfection and the High Gloss Chair / Patent Bag structure is excellent. Go see for yourself!

Model for MEEE!

Ok so I did this photo shoot in my basement apartment in December...the snow was inches thick and starting to fall again and my wonderful friend Jolevette came round in her Snoopy t-shirt and slippers for a chilly fun time. We had a great time with this Disco Ball I found in a janitor's office...who very kindly let me borrow it (for 6 months) and some strobe lights!

Amazing!

Then as Spring was finally hitting the streets of New York my mate Ernest was persuaded to be my model for the mens clothes. Both these people are now in my top friends in Myspace by the by! Anyway, I lugged a MASSAI suitcase all the way from the apartment in Jersey where they were being stored across the Hudson River on the bloody PATH train, then I walked...yes walked them across from 6th to 1st Ave!!! WOAH! A good work out and the photos ended up cool.

I did a photoshoot with him for my Photography call after too which are on my Flickr.

Needlesstosay, I have only JUST gotten around to fixing the photos up...and they will be up shortly. Here is a sneek peek...I like these best! :-D
