Christina, 18 (taken on St Marks Place on the Sunday morning ... a nice sunny autumn day. funny thing was I had approached St Marks from the opposite side and didn't realise I was there because I was entering from the bottom of the street (and for some reason I thought it was a dead end street and you couldn't even enter from another side?!) anyway within a second I realised where I was. saw Christina and went on over. soon as I saw her I thought you'd like her Marlena(!!)
shirt: good-will trousers: from Hot Topic where I work jacket: thrift store boots: from a thrift store round here called NO RELATION bracelets: the one with the not so pointy spikes I made ... the other I got from Hot Topic. the bondage bracelet I got from a thrift store - which is kinda weird because it was used(!) but whatever ... it looks cool! arm warmers: this one (above left) I don't remember where I got it from and this one (right) was like a sock ... I cut it out style inspiration: I don't really know ... I just wear what I like I guess. I don't really like ... look to other people
last song you listened to: Sex Pistols - Anarchy In The UK because it was playing in Search and Destroy (good answer but I wondered what the last song she purposely listened to was) ... probably Saturday Nightby the Misfits because it's been stuck in my head all week. last album you bought: something by Bad Brains, I can't remember last gig you saw: oh my god, I haven't been to a concert in forever I think it was Green Day when I was like 13!! in Connecticut. they were my favourite band when I was younger but not anymore!!
side note> during the interview, Christina told me she had cut her own hair!!
Nikolai, 31 (1. how cool is this dude. exactly. and 2. yes finally a picture of a guy)
this was taken on the saturday morning ... between 9-10 ... around 5th avenue on my way to the apple store (I was having a problem with my mac importing pictures from flickr) ... very cool looking store but very rude guy serving me. it was a pretty cold morning, probably 10 degrees colder than the day before. so cold, that walking down the streets I could kind of envisage what it must be like to be there in the winter. I didn't realise before I left how much colder it was. hence still wearing my knee length dickie style shorts and 'Unbroken meat is murder hoodie. and why mid-conversation Nikolai said to me (in an american accent don't forget) 'I do believe your lip is bleeding from the cold' - making it the singular most coolest thing I heard my whole trip there.
jacket: all saints sweater: asos suspenders: zara jeans: all saints boots: all saints cap: new york hat company
style inspiration:I forgot to ask this!! yes.I know. I went straight to 'last song you listened to. it's the first time I've ever missed a question out. kinda bummed cause I'd like to have known his answer. how could this have happened? I'll put it down to a/the cold ... b/general tiredness from non-stop walking and constant worrying the moz gigs would be cancelled ... and c/just the shock of finally getting a cool dude for this feature.
last song you listened to:(right before I stopped him!) Johnny Cash The Fourth Man In The Fire last album you bought: Johnny Cash box set - Unearthed(where the above song is from) last gig you saw:The XX at Terminal 5
EBAY I LOVE THEE. I am now the proud owner of these 'Smiths badges. yes 2 the same (I like to have spares!) after I won the first I saw the same one from someone else. it was a bidding war between Smiths fans. of course I was victorious. I had to have them. definitely my favourite Smiths badges I have.
yes I paid £7.50 for a badge. yes I paid £10.50 for a badge.
but to be more specific ... ORIGINAL SMITHS BADGES FROM THE 1980's yes that alters it a bit doesn't it.
let's be reminded of the wondorous-ness of this band
YES EXACTLY. YES EXACTLY.
the second seller said this about the badge:
I GOT THE BADGE AS A PROMO ITEM SOMETIME IN THE LATE 1980s WHEN I WORKED IN THE REVOLVER RECORDS SHOP IN BIRMINGHAM
very interesting. from the font/colours I'd say they are definitely 1985 MEAT IS MURDER period.
would morrissey approve? most definitely. young moz was a fervent badge wearer and clearly understood their importance.
ps. on the subject of badges - I need this one so bad.
