You may call me Giuseppe

What you're reading now is my very first blog post. I suppose you could say its my first ring around the rosie, my first rodeo, or popping my...you get the picture. Speaking of which, my photography will make up most of my posts, with a dash of recipes and off-the-beaten path political banter. I do hope I am not exiled from the den for such talk. I am only posting a hand full of photos tonight, but please check in regularly for future updates. All photos were taken in the United Kingdom.

We Accept Him One of Us!

Everyone, my roommate over here in London is going to start posting some of his intellect in the den starting tonight. Giuseppe, as he would like to be called, will be posting pictures, recipes, and useful tidbits of "Donkphant" knowledge. Give him a warm welcome and comment on his posts... but not until after you comment on mine! You cunts, you killed my scooter!

Shadows on a River... I'm Wet

These guys hail from Millikin University (woot woot!) and are currently making waves in the Chicago area. I have the first album from these guys when they were called The Infinity Room and I just bought the new album last night. It is strikingly beautiful! Reviewers and bloggers compare them to Radiohead and Elliot Smith, but they don't imitate anyone in a way that crosses lines. The coolest part about this album is that they were able to create lusciously layered haunting music directly out of their apartment. One of the guys from Berry helped out this time which I think is slightly evident, but then again all artists grow and this is pure evidence of that. You can buy the new CD on iTunes. Please do!

All Saints Makes Me Sin

If you are feeling extra nice this Christmas...

 

A vest within a vest? Seems like more bang for your buck to me! Sure the sweater may be sheer (a new obsession of mine) but the extremely floppy turtleneck should keep me warm. I already have a military wool coat, but this double breasted cardigan would be perfect indoors. Yes, I want to look like I have shit my pants; I can't help myself, I love drop crotch pants. What's better then the already chic snood? A snood with fringe of course! I need to sell my testicles so I can buy this shit! No but really...

Where is this? Let's go there!

Are You Fucking Me Right Now?

 

The Sartorialist

You know, I don't really care for real fur. If it's for you, it's for you. But honestly this is a lot to take in. I hereby dub this ugly garment The Fauxa Constrictor... I hope she has trouble breathing, falls off her bike, and skins her knees.

A Step in the Right Direction

Ponystep's Hoxton Bar and Kitchen

This place might as well be heaven...

(I didn't take these pictures)

Where can I find a shirt that fits this well...

 What's their secret...

 

 Devilish hair and a Devilish smile...

 

And that's how you clash patterns...

 

No this was not Halloween...

Cute pose or is she trying to show us something...

 

If you were wondering what I was wearing...

(yes that shirt is sheer. I really am that cool)

We strolled up to the door of this art-chic bar in our first week here and Cozette McCreery, the clipboard gate keeper, was kind enough to let us come in even though it is a private party on Sundays. I've been going back ever since. With patrons like Naomi Campbell, Madonna, Alexander McQeen, and Boy George, it's no wonder they host the mecca of artists once a week. They play excellent music as well with guest DJ's like the iconic Icelandic queen of wierd, BJORK! The group was invited to Paris Fashion Week where they threw one hell of a bash. We need people like this over on our side of the pond. FUCK! I'll miss it here.... The website will give you chills when you see they have their hands in everything awesome: beauty, art, fashion, music, parties... I might as well give up at this point.
