The Perfect Summer Song!

June 29th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Thunder and lightening, it’s so humid, and so perfect. The perfect summers day. Pride day. We’ve been dancing around our attic studio all day to the new Cure song, The Only One. Honestly, we want to cry, our Mr. Smith has written once again the perfect summer song. Our father has come up more than once wondering [...]

In the winter my parents fill the house with flowers, in the summer our lawn is awash in colour as we tore our wasteful lawn up and made it in to a garden. We rarely buy flowers as there is so much colour outside and with the windows open, the scent spilling in on hot [...]

We Love Alexander McQueen

June 20th, 2008 · No Comments

Alexander McQueen, of course. Sarah said once, whimsy with razorblades. We always like to check in on our Mr. McQueen, though we suspect he wouldn’t be a charming dinner guest, but we could be wrong. He’s not very vegan in his use of fur and feathers though, take note.This is his Fall 2008 collection which [...]

Vegan Rant #245 – Ugly Shoes

June 19th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Our parents wore John Fluevog shoes when they were 80s hipsters. They even have a wall of shoe boxes called ‘The Museum’ where, late at night, I swear, they go in and fondle all hose pointy 80s toes and huge monster truck soles. We’ve always wanted Fluevogs of our own, however, the exclusivity of leather [...]

A Midsummer Night’s Dream

June 12th, 2008 · 1 Comment

 
Tell me an original story. Shakespeare has often been accused of lifting his plots from others, or even that he didn’t write the plays at all. I like to think of  Shakespeare as a state of mind, a celebration of how language can be made to dance. In our house it’s not uncommon to hear [...]

Vegan Rant #172

June 12th, 2008 · No Comments

Every day I pass by a statue of a man killing an animal, it totally offends me. It’s a cultural thing however, and if I said, ‘hey, that’s kind of offensive,’ I would be stoned.
I’m so tired of ‘history/culture/custom’ being used as an excuse for sexism and (animal, human, physical, mental) abuse.

Standing beside me on the subway this morning was a man furiously thumbing his Blackberry. After a few stops he turned it off, carefully put it away and passed out. As he slipped down on to the ground people moved away to make room like displaced water. The train was stopped at the next station and [...]
