been thinkin of getting the cdg zip wallet. anyone have one?

MIDVH we could be wallet twins

how are peoples availability Monday, 21 Oct, 6pm EST ? I hope that gives some allowance for our UK/European friends, while allowing schlubs like me on the US east coast to get settled after the day. I've developed a Run of Show, below. I want to experiment with using a thread on CT as a jumping off ...

glad everyone could get on the call. im not sure if tinychat will be the best platform, but then again its a sure way to conserve anonymity. As far as moving forward, are people available this weekend for a test run? This won''t be a published post, we'll just practice. We'll need one engineer/produ...

how are others' availability?

ok so im in NYC. when/where would people be able to discuss? how does this work over skype?

So who is in? When should we try to record? What are people's thoughts on Episode One content?

as UNWASHED said, we should prob just get people on board, see who clicks, who has time. you're right tho we'll need to eventually shake it out to just having a few regulars and then guests

im getting very excited about this and just wanted to get my thoughts out. i agree with a lot of the stuff said here about description and stuff, and i think having segments in the podcast will help organize that. so for example a typical episode may include: 1) an introduction "hello welcome t...

I think this is a great outline for our first episode. i think what helps podcasts is having a clear agenda of what the episode is about. im sure we can derive plenty of content/topics for future episodes. we should also have segments so that the show has rhythm and predictability. i don't know if w...

please please pleeease can i be involved. qualifications:

1) i love hearing myself talk.
2) I work in advertising so i get paid to do (1).
3) other things!

Post sales/sample sales/etc here.

It's not like any of us (except Bobbin, probably) are actually making our own clothes. We're just buying other people's. What's so creative about that? i see. i agree, i was just saying that if collecting comic books/art/etc can be considered creative, or rooted in creativity, then so must collecti...

i just picked up Pattern Recognition but after reading a bunch of "literature" Gibson's style seems so ornate and needless. i'll keep at it since its my "break" reading.

There's a new private club that just opened in SF called The Battery. I guess it's based off the Soho Houses of london and nyc. this is awesome. its also crazy ironic since the Soho House has tons of advertising types. my friend (also in advertising) is a member of this other fancy club. nothing sa...

comics and figurines, though obviously scorned by some, are understood by many to have some sort of investment value. clothes depreciate, and their "original" use is allegedly purely functional, so any attempt to build upon that is unnecessary vanity. i once had a crazy argument about my ...

my main point when i first brought this up isn't so much 'is it less cool to be a comic/car/computer fan vs a fashion fan' so much as 'why do fashion people in particular have so much SELF-loathing'? its an internal question vs external. you can badger the comic fan and call him a loser and he'll ju...

for those of you who don't know (check the random fashion thoughts) i went to the Black CDG store and now im really hankering for a piece. maybe these weird drop crotch pants, run about $300. ive been on no cop for about three weeks.

talk me off the ledge. tell me to jump. whatever.

Perhaps it's a distinction between public and private spaces. This is a great insight. When I was thinking about this i thought perhaps it was because clothing is inherently more personal -- its something that goes onto our BODIES -- and people get that tied up with sexuality and masculinity. But y...

just went to nycc. ive been to a bunch of cons when i lived out west and i was glad to see that, despite the greatly increased popularity, that this pop-nerd subculture is still very alive and well and hasn't been too watered down. that's up for debate if anyone disagrees id love to hear your though...

i'm going to go down to the Black store this week and I'll do a side-by-side with the mainline store. just from my quick recollection theres a decent amount of poly in the mainline but as someone else said the finishing and weight of mainline is more significant.

absolutely right. and my perspective can change from day to day or even minute by minute. i was at tokio 7 last week and saw $200 yohji pants and thought they were too expensive but at this very second im tracking a yohji skirt on ebay for $350 and think "what a bargain!". i personally get...

Went to the Comme Des Garcons Black Editted store today (the CDG mainline store is a few blocks away and one of my favorite places in the city). I've been to CDGBE before but now I really went to check out the line. I can tell I'm now in super hype mode for it, since Black exists in the exact spot w...

tell us more about your trend forcasting gig

i think it starts mattering when it starts effecting people in negative ways. so like your own example you say your attractiveness fell after 9/11 for you it was perhaps a minor inconvenience (you handsome devil, you) but you take that to an extreme and suddenly you're getting the FBI wiretaps and H...

its interesting to get a non-american look at these things. the race question in many ways is the american question due to our history. ii agree that you like who you like but its important to realize that there are external forces shaping your taste and 'preferences'. that we have a non-trivial pro...

smiles' epic relationship episode** with its related cross-cultural complications got me thinking about something i've noticed a lot: the asian girl X internet dudes collab. i don't know if i want to call it asian fetish because its not as simple as dude just wanting some submissive azn wife (althou...

we should start a hater thread. whats the worst hate you've ever gotten. lets laugh and cry together
