THUGS N HUGS - CARNIVAL PARTY
Honk if you’re horny. Bogle if you’re bored. Toot if you’re cute.
And repeat. It’s the Thugs & Hugs Notting Hill Carnival mantra 2008.
Last year’s Thugs & Hugs Carnival party was headlined by our good friend Squeak E Clean from Los Angeles (N.A.S.A project, producer of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' Show Your Bones, brother of Spike Jonze) and was an unsurprisingly crazy affair. This year we’re bringing it back - in collaboration with Dazed & Confused - introducing a very special trinity from New York City: Dante Lorenzo Gonzales, Rye Rye and Leif AKA the exclusive London debut of the Dante Fried Chicken show. Also catch Caspa, Dom Sum & Fineart, Patchwork Pirates, DJ Gigolog "The Mixx" Knight, Questrel, and some secret guests.
The party is on Sunday 24th August at the Fat Badger, 310 Portobello Road, London W10, and it's free before 6pm then £5. Get there early - even if you're on the guestlist - because it's strictly first come first served. Expect to see exclusive footage from the party on DazedDigital.com next month.

HARSH, MAYBE, BUT TRUE?
Prime Minister John Howard - Australia
Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on Wednesday to get out of Australia , as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks.
Separately, Howard angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying he supported spy agencies monitoring the nation's mosques. Quote: 'IMMIGRANTS, NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT. Take It Or Leave It. I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Bali , we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Australians.'
'This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom'.
'We speak mainly ENGLISH; not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society . Learn the language!'
'Most Australians believe in God. This is not some Christian, right wing, political push, but a fact, because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture.'
'We will accept your beliefs, and will not question why. All we ask is that you accept ours, and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us.'
'This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great Australian freedom,
'THE RIGHT TO LEAVE'.'
'If you aren't happy here then LEAVE! We didn't force you to come here. You asked to be here. So accept the country YOU accepted.'
THESE ARE THE VIEWS OF Prime Minister John Howard of Australia AND ARE NOT ENDORSED BY GSD OR ANY OF IT'S CONTRIBUTERS.
NICK MULVEY AT THE BIG CHILL.........
I met this guy a good 3/4 years ago at some university halls in London after a night out, ended up in a student party with him singing on guitar, he was good then and it seems he still is. He is also part of a jazz group called Portico Quartet, who you may have heard were recently nominated for the Mercury music prize.
IF YOU BELIEVE IN SOMETHING YOUR NUTS.........
I believe in being kind to people, treating others as you'd like to be treated, having fun, and living for the moment, but I'm nuts.
These guy's are nuts, they'll jack you for your jesus chain outside the dance.

Skins & Punks: Lost Archives, 1978-1985
What started off as a small collection of photographs the 14-year-old Gavin Watson would take of his family and friends in Wycombe, middle England, in the 1970s and 80s would grow into one of the most important and influential photographic youth culture books of the last 20 years. Skins, published in 1994 and hailed by The Times of London as “a modern classic,” has shown its influence in such photographers as Terry Richardson, Juergen Teller, and Ryan McGinley, as well as pretty much every kind of “youth” photography popular today.
Last year, having persuaded him to begin working again after a long period of self-seclusion, VICE Books was bequeathed Watson’s lost archives, hundreds of photos reaching deep into the lives of the subjects of his first book. Each photograph reveals an understanding and sensitivity that belies the sometimes brutal subject matter.
Skins & Punks is a singular retrospective complete with commentaries and oral histories. The stories behind the shots are shocking, hilarious, severe, and heartbreaking, and each gets behind what it was really like to be a rebellious workingclass youth growing up in the 1980s. This is documentary photography at its best, a stunningly intimate window into a cultural movement.
“Watson photographed from the inside, the only member of a provincial and isolated gang with a camera, only occasionally aware that his friends were part of a larger moment…. Some of his photographs are funny, some are tender, some are domestic. Many of them show skinheads smiling, others display a great vulnerability: young boys struggling for their place in an adult world. If there is aggression it is playful and uncertain. And in the background sits an unbeautified England of the 80s, a harsh depiction of extreme disunity.”
—The Observer
Gavin Watson is an acclaimed documentary and portrait photographer. His natural eye for a moment in time and the stark, brutal honesty of the images he captured have made his collection of work one of the UK’s finest documentary portfolios. He has done work for many global companies including Dr. Martens, and his photos have appeared in countless music magazines, album covers, fashion bibles such as i-D and The Face, and numerous exhibitions.

GOOD SPORT, WHAT WHAT...........
Me, Jimi, Teza, and a few other usual suspects went down to the opening of a new exhibit at the Victoria&Albert museum yesterday called 'Fashion V Sport'. It tries to demonstrate the flourishing relationship enjoyed between sportswear and fashion of recent years. For me, although reworked sports staples from designers like 'Dries van Noten' and 'Sonia Rykiel' are, kinda, cool, it's the photographs of collectors like Kish (above) surrounded by hundreds of pristine shoes and limited-edition tracksuits worth thousands of dollars that really make an impact. Nash had some of his special FBT/Nike hybrid's on show along with some other impressive Nike customs.
Champagne was flowin, but that all ended at the after party at Bungalow 8.
No photo's from me although I did have a camera, I just couldn't be bothered.
Fashion V Sport opens on Tuesday 5 August 2008 at the V&A.
