Ironic retail therapy for bored web browsers

There are so many strange ideas on the Internet.
It is beautiful but can be daunting too.
I just came across this site from Julian
Another interesting concept - I thought it is such an unusual but genius way to sell clothes.
Find a funny photo and get products that fit the look.
Pure web genius.
I like how the hipster look can come from so many different references in pop culture.
Ironic photos meets retail = CASH CASH CASH!
if you got the need to SHOP for your NEXT nerd chic look - look no further than Nerd boyfriend.

Can't hardly wait..

Last night I got to see the Lost Valentinos at the OAF.
I took a few shots for Kluster as well.

It was a mind blowing show and I can't wait till the album is released.

If you are as excited as I am as well, you can pre-order the album on lostvalentinos.com.

Lost Valentinos Interview

Photo by Cybele
I got another interview up for Kluster.
This time I got to chat to one of my favourite bands, Lost Valentinos.
It was a lot of fun and if you are a fan, make sure you get a peek.
Check out the interview on the Kluster Blog.

What is a Hipster?

I have been interested in this concept for a while now.
I get called that sometimes but I am still not sure what people mean when they call people that.

I certainly don't associate myself with the images posted on
this blog. (Although, I have to admit Tumblr has some goldmine for mindless entertaining photos)

My mate Nigel retweeted this story by Time magazine on the idea of Hipster culture.
The history of how the concept started is accurate from other sources I had read.... circa the Jack Kerouac and Ginsberg era.

The end of the article gets a bit confusing or perhaps it was a soft commercial plug for Urban Outfitters?!
I don't know what happened, it was an interesting angle they started with then it all turned out to be a bit vague.
