There you are sitting in youre room, pondering about everything that has happened to you lately. You wanted to go to Spain, but you didn't have money. You wanted to go to Melt, you didn't have money. You wanted to buy that Acne jacket, you didn't have money and as if all of that isn't enough it finally dawns on you that most of youre friends are on a holiday. What do you do?
You head back to fashion.
After wondering what to do wth my life for about 2 days I finally realised that next week was fashion week. Fuck finding a job (Yes, I'm unemployed yet again) Now, I must say that fashion week isn't what you expect it to be, here in Amsterdam, but I have to say that thusfar I have been more than pleasently surprised.
It all began on thursday night, Offschedule. As always, a horrible event. The collections with exception of AndBeyond and James Long where a pain to the eye. But I'm not here to write about fashion, I promised myself to write about everything but the clothes, so I'm going to try to stick to that. OffSchedule, yes it was boring, the only thing that kind of made it worth wasting my entire night was the appearance of the always lovely lezzie's of Le tigre. They boozed it up and spinned some nice records. Two of the designers (who where both quite unattractive) made out behind the curtain, I smoked cigarettes behind the curtain, and we where chased by some crazy myspace girl and eventually went home.
The next day it was time for AndreCrews in Mediamatic. A performance to raise awareness about what we're throwing away and how to recycle clothes. There was a huge pile of clothes (5000kg to be exact) in the middle of the old ABN bank building. And the girls from AndreaCrews (who are lovely) would make you an outfit for 5 euro's. But I was there for serious things, I came with about 10 friends to model. Lots of us had to sit in window displays outside, boozing it up, or just walk around and explain the concept. For all this, we got to keep our outfit and drink as much as we liked. By the time the exhibition opened I was pissed. We had a blast and it made it into several newspapers! succes! After this, me and Aynouk went to a party of photography duo Petrovsky and Ramone. It was awesome, I don't remember half of it. What I do remember is talking to Gert from Fantastich Man and Butt (HEART HEART HEART) and doing other things I don't think I should mention here. To cut things short, we had a blast!
to figure out what happened after........
e.g. saturday-wednesday.........
check back tommorow, I'm running late for an appointment.
