This is the Spring ’08 edition of Antenna.. And I’ve ripped the subsequent mission statement from the Antenna website;

“Antenna is the first mainstream magazine to target individuals who are on a constant quest for the newest and coolest products on the horizon. And it does so without using celebrities, models, concept shoots, service stories and whatever else we deem superfluous to our mission: to become a guidebook, allowing readers to navigate the most extensive collection of products ever compiled in a single publication, while championing the people who create, sell and collect them—all in one comprehensive, artful, elegant and innovative format. Featuring everything from dress shirts and cellphones to jeans and graphic T’s, Antenna is considered to be a non-disposable magazine in a disposable world. And you cannot ask for more than that.
“

On closer inspection, I wasn’t overly entertained by the content, and despite a few good articles it just reminded me of one of those low brow mens magazines, such as ‘Front’ or ‘Loaded’, but this was one for Cool Guys.. Cool Guys that are slightly out of the loop. I found the most interesting thing in this magazine to be the advertising campaigns (sadly). They’ve tried to cover all bases, including chocolate treats and medecine (!?), which is commendable, but there is no revelations in this magazine, Hypebeast, The Hundreds & Kid Robot are all wonderful enough, but the above mission statement seems to foretell of cutting edge-ness, and that is what is woefully under-represented here..

To begin proceedings, a picture from yesterday with (actually without) the fantabulous Gynelle –

My companion foolishly believed these boats were Oyster card compatible. Tsk!

Today I met up with a group of talented individuals, and milled around central London.. Hit the National Gallery and other cultural hot-spots such as Pret A Manger & American Apparel!! Prior to this I got an Egg Mayonaise bagel, a snickers and a Fanta all for the bargainous price of £3.00!! In ‘Melts’ bar just near Oxford Circus I had to double check! Taken aback, I was.. Having said that, it was quite empty at lunch time, so I’m waiting for some horror story to emerge about how this company murders children and makes bagels from them.. or something of this nature…??

Halo, completely by accident…

As is customary with central London expeditions we made a trip to the Montague Pyke.. and went into Borders, from which I purchased ‘Antenna’.. which had a few points of interests, that I will post up in a little while…

Check back!

Never really liked Mothers Day if I must admit, don’t get me wrong Mothers are the best but why in the world do they get a day dedicated to them, where by there offspring must buy them gifts, fuck off.

All I get is a christmas and birthday, definitely not fair if you ask me.

Parents get birthdays, mother/fathers day and Christmas.. 3 to my 2 and I’m a only child so i don’t get to slyly style out one of those “Ah here mother, this gift is from the both of us” (I know a lot of you siblings do it)

On many occasions its been hard on my pocket but not this year HA (to the devilish woman who invented mothers day) and YEA to the man who invented Argos, because this is where I stumbled on the best cheap present ever..

Foot Spa for £9.99 GET STUCK IN !
Argos cataloge number 442/5650 go get yours before its too late!

Todays holdtights..

Strawberry flavored nurishment, its doing a lot for my titties.

And the original mighty morphin power rangers anyone know where I can pick up a box set of the complete series ?


Ayaaaaaaaah !

be well.

All Gone is a book that is released anually from Collette’s in Paris, the book documents the ‘The finest of street culture 2007′. There are 253 glossy pages ranging from ‘A Bathing Ape to X-Large. They limit the release of the book to 1500 copies, this year 1000 were available in purple and 500 in silver.

Mine was delivered about a week ago but problems with the couriers delayed me getting my hands on it. Props for the big dent in the cover as well!

All the main releases and collaborations feature in the book. Personally i think 2007 was a big year for releases, the quality wasnt as high as recent years but collaborations was definataly the thing everyone was doing.

Here are some of the features in the book….

The good….

The bad…..

And the ugly….

The book is a good definitive guide to what the main players of the streetwear game were upto in 2007. Each feature has a paragraph informing the reader of release dates, stores and history of the brands.

Id say it is worth buying but at around £35 each and being released every year its quite expensive. On the other hand are treated to the biggest selection of releases all in one book. Collette has definatly had an access all areas pass to all the entries so you are treated to some good picture as well.

2008 has started slow which was to be expected but im sure we are in for some more treats to come later this year.

Peace

Not gonna lie, like the sneaker game a few of us at BNTL have been slacking lately with the updates and posts. But I guess thats just down to us leading busy lives (I think) and shit happening (I think again). But I think we’re back now well I am anyways so let me get to doing what I do best, which is chatting SHIT.

Absolutely disgusting if you ask me.. 8.20am in the morning and you produce dirt like this !




You would have thought the dude worked in a coal mine the amount of black sooty marks he left on that pole.. it was offensive, just one of the many reason why i HATE taking London transport. People sneazing, coughing, moist palms like they been wanking, picking their noses.. and all the rest of it, then they have the audacity to touch poles and other stuff I need to touch to get off the bus or train, shits disgusting.

I thought I spent a lot of money on ink and print outs at home and at uni, but shit hold tight prostitutes there doing a lot for Epsom’s sales.
You probably need to put on condom just to make a phone call in the that phone box.


Straight Chicken Catsu Curry (with no veg, as usual) on lunch today


New items at the barbers, two new pairs of shoes and if you look hard enough under the black shoe theres a paper shredder as well. All added to the long list of goods on sale besides a hair cut.


Hold Tight this week goes to . .
the closed down blog “WAH” I knows its been over a week now but, you’ve got me saying to everybody “WAHappenings ?” I even say it to myself in my head.

Should i seek advice?
