street clash

the commodified is going to be competing in street clash and i'm looking for your suggestions as to which pic from 2007 you'd like to see me start competing with.

SINGAPORE - Orchard Road frills

my singaporean friends wanted me to add a disclaimer that these two are not an accurate representation of singapore. and i attest to you it's true. but really, when have street style blogs ever accurately represented their home cities? we prowl the streets, picking through the masses with a fine toothed comb, looking for something special. its not necessarily always that someone is "fashionable". in fact, the most fashionable people are sometimes the least exciting.

its ironic that i found these two within a mere few hours of eachother, considering how rare it is to see anyone "outside the norm" in singapore. Although this is surely seen as a bit over-the-top by both vancouverites and singaporeans alike, if the trend has made its way from tokyo to singapore, i wouldn't be surprised if some element of their outfits will make its way to the shelves worldwide, even if it is just the knee-high socks.

VANCOUVER - An average Travis night

travis says: "i saw her standing on this stool i asked her what was she doing and she told me she was testing The Reissner-Nordström solution, in which the central object has an electrical charge. For charges with a geometrized length which are less than the geometrized length of the mass of the object, this solution produces black holes with two event horizons... she lost me at stool."
