China’s Most Controversial Photography Author: Taiyang Hua Taking pictures in China can land you in a Chinese prison if you are in the wrong place at the right time! This is exactly why, compared with the rest of the world, there have been so few published photographs of Chinese culture. In fact, the majority of commercial coffee table books and stock photos and about China focus wholly on tourist attractions rather than people or street life. It takes a keen eye and familiarity with Chinese culture for a photographer to be able to evade the Communist authorities and escape the country with his roll of film in tact. The following…

Types of Gay Men
Types of Gay Men Author: Geet Not so long back two of my closest pals Rags and Ron took a vacation. That was possibly the most pleasurable time we three have ever spent together. We took a short trip together, went mad shopping and not to forget the New Year’s party that we were at. At several instances we discussed friends and acquaintances that we knew. This got me thinking and I concluded the influence of animal behaviour or the ‘animal within us’ After little research I came up with the following types. Now, I strongly believe we all belong to an animal type. The way we function,…

Men in Furs
We usually associate fur coats with glamorous women and if not that, some sleazy pimp from an itchy polyester 70’s. But recently we’ve been seeing a lot more men in fur who aren’t pimp cupped rappers. Not only does it give you sense of luxury but hey, it also keeps you pretty warm. If you wear fur in a thoughtful and tasteful manner, you can actually be taken seriously. I don’t think people want to feel like they’re going to a cheap costume party just because it’s cold outside. There are many different stiles, and also good deals for vintage online. Man or women. Facebook Comments

Trend Watch: No Pattern Mixing
You’ve been seeing a lot of mixed patterns and textiles being worn by everyone. Throw on a striped cardigan with a tartan sweater, BAM! It’s a simple trend to do without sometimes putting that much effort into. (yes I’m guilty) So as we all know when things start to get more popular you tend to start looking for the newest and next best way to stand out, or have a stamp of style originality. Something I’ve noticed is a steering away from pattern mixing. Instead have one solid pattern or textile through your whole entire look. It’s a trend you could do anything with. Meaning it can be formal or…

Prada Inspired by Serial Killers
We’re all inspired by many things, but in artistic culture you notice their is a special sweet spot for criminals and murderers. You will always find songs and artists like Morrissey basically glamorizing and almost longing for these criminals. In this case it’s influence has trickled to fashion. The makeup and hair for Prada’s S/S 2013 isn’t inspired by strong fashion icons or trends, but a serial killer Aileen Wournos. “The inspiration for the hair and makeup at Prada S/S 2013 has a very interesting inspiration, none other than infamous serial killer, Aileen Wuornos. “Her story especially her hair and natural raw disheveled look has been very inspirational to me…

Lana Del Rey – So Legit
“Stefani [Lady GaGa’s real name], you suck, I know you’re selling twenty million Wish they could have seen you when we booed you off in Williamsburg,” Lana Del Rey sings in So Legit, a song she wrote about Lady GaGa. “You’re looking like a man, you’re talking like a baby,” the singer also hurls in the damning song.
