This post goes out to Brent. the krafty hand behind the new DOE prints. Who is all the way in Hamburg and missed by all of us!
Check his blog out---a picture a day keeps the doktors away.

I came across this blog, by a street artist in london who is behind the project "little peole- a tiny street art project" peep it if you like, amazing!

PS. New prints out next week! get your purses ready pretties... :)

"Tiny land project"



"The inner city snail project"

is it just me?

this will be short but to the point, has anyone seen the adverts for sta-sof-fro on tv? these adverts have changed my life, i tried to find a video but to no avail. there are 2 of them (adverts that is) one featuring 3 ladies having coffee and discussing their hair, the other is a lady in a laboratory looking very official about life. hit me up if you've seen them or can get hold of the video. STA-SOF-FRO, what an incredible name, rolls off the tongue. gota love it. funniest adverts on television. if you're looking to see them then shut down that dstv and join free viewing like the rest of us. prime time baby.

hit me up

Crazy groupies

The story below is purely fictional. well not really. who knows?

i was playing before xxxxx at the xxxxxx birthday party and had left all my stuff behind the DJ bar while i was merrily getting drunk. I suddenly needed money so went to get my purse. after managing to make it through the massive crowd i put my head under the dj booth to get to my stuff. next thing i know xxxxx is standing there looking half bewildered and frightened and there is a young groupie trying to unbutton his trousers. so I look at xxxxxx and say what the fuck are u doing and he realises the blow job situation is dodge and a bad idea and pushes her off. we have a little chat and i tell him hes sleazy and bend down to get out. next thing i know a nice hard green heineken bottle comes flying at my head. This sexually frustrated groupie released her tensions on my head but due to my inebriated state, i only really realised what happened on my way home! cant remember the bitches face.

People really do this shit out there??? I feel so sheltered.

What it is

Posted by: Chi
Mood: Serious


When I decided to feature some of my favorite photographers here today, i immediately thought of Terry Richardson, I think I'm always drawn to people who are extremely, excessively creative and have the energy to prove it. that extra bit of courage and madness adds to it. people who say "what the hell. why not?!" to life. they may seem inappropriate to the some, but for me, there's truth in this madness (i dont mean the serial killer type madness). I was reading this extract the other day in a book about ZEN teachings---it says>> for example, there are three basic functions to the human forearm, lift, twist and drop. on a scientific level, we judge them to be 'normal' functions. but, the real 'normal' function of the forearm, is "to move freely". So, we exclaim when we see the body work of an acrobat...shouting out "thats crazy!" guess what im trying to say is, theres no doubt the mind can push the body's limits, and we know that. But, how often do we trap ourselves in our minds? overthinking about stuff and end up paralyzing our bodies?

dont mean to go Dr. Zen on you. just really digging Terry Richardson's work. thats all.

ps. these photos were taken in Hong Kong, a place I spent some of childhood in>> Its a concrete jungle. also the coolest fishing village in the world. the reason i chose these to post, is because I fuckING miss home today! sob

More of his work here. Or his new work for French Vogue feat. LV here.

Listening to: Delta 5 - 'Mind your own business'

1. mini denim skirts-- not only me, many designers feel that mini denim skirts are very UNflattering to the female body, think about it like this, its a big triangle hanging in the middle of your body, nah. but, i love those little mini pencil skirts, high waited or mini flaired skirts, especially wear them with nice tights and boots or sneakers---- doe.pe.

2. Kanye glasses-- they just look crazy man...they make you look like you have problems. plus, the hype is over now. even Kanye has moved on, why holding on? regardless tho, if they mean A LOT to you, ignore what i said.




3. belt in hoop-- this one is for the ladies, think seriously before you slot your belts in hoops. some hoops are not meant to be tampered with.

confident style is conscious style. Doe wants whats best for you. :)

Unkle Sam and I

Based on true story.

one day (7 years ago), I went to this party and and i saw Samuel L Jackson there sitting at the bar by his lonesome. Didnt recognize him, so i ordered a drink (a water i promise). as i turned around still not recognizing him, only saw an old man, thinking to myself: damn shouldn u be home with your wife and kids? and began this conversation---

S= uncle sam Y= me

Y: hey, whats your name?
S: My name is Sam.
Y: oh you're American!
S: yes I am.
Y: uncle sam! hahaha!
(my friend Bianca stood behind him at this point, and pointing at him and mouthed to me----'samuel l jackson! samuel l jackson!'
Y: you're an actor!
S: yes i am!
Y: i've seen you in movies!
S: oh yeah?
Y: yeah, Antoine Fisher.
S: That was Danzel Washinton.
Y: oh sorry, Changing Lanes with Matt Damon.
S: no that was with Ben Affleck.
Y (sweat, how can i get outta this)
Y: Pulp Fiction!
S: Bingo! that was me!

HOW SWEET AND PATIENT WAS UNCLE SAM?

WE LOVE UNKLE SAM!!!!

can you say nightmare?

there is something i need to raise because it just breaks my heart. we all know that the nightmare before christmas is a fuckn epic movie, but it was been turned into a cult by your everyday mall goth. which is fine, it totally deserves the status. however what it does not deserve is to be worn on bad clothing by krunch people. over the weekend i saw a myriad of people wearing everything from bags to hoodies, and out to a party even! when will this phase be over, when will the madness stop! take a motherfucking stand on bad taste!

DOE reserves the right to disallow anyone from wearing DOE if they have a krunch item like the one in the picture.

also let it be known that the bad clothes are in no way related to the doe.peness of the movie. so don't start sending me stupid emails defending ur childhood favourite.

fists in the air.

Yawn!

What a weekend. recap.
sloshup every night. have a massive headache.
these are not even good times. just good pass times.
Cape Town is a whole lotta bull sometimes,
power struggles prevails.
some people are shortsighted.
others are wallowing.
we need to get our shit right.
also need a mid night dim sum spot.
nonetheless, saw some of favorite people.
lost my mind for a minute.
so that was fun.
