The everchanging yellow ball June 30, 2009

Everyone at this point knows that we have a serious crush on secretsundaze, one of London’s coolest parties. Take a close look at their original flyer art (enlarge!) and try not to fall in love either. They transform a plain yellow ball (2009′s first party flyer) into lots of creative images that go changing from party to party. Fab!

 

Fun in the sun June 30, 2009

 FUN, FUN, FUN is the trend also for sunglasses. Forget those boring black monochromatic frames and go for cheap-and-chic red, green, white, yellow, purple, funny ones. See how the coolest party people from Barcelona and London wear the shades we’re talking about and definitely give ‘em a go!  Don’t forget to smile, because atittude counts, hum?!

M.J. Flashmobs – the videos June 26, 2009

People around the world are getting together to celebrate M.J.’s legacy. What a lovely way to mourn.

San Francisco, California, yesterday:


 

Liverpool Street Station, London, this afternoon:

 

And last but definitely not least, Billie Jean, by the Londoner crowd. Goose bumps!:

 

M.J. flashmob June 26, 2009

Lots of people gathered some minutes ago at Liverpool Street Station, in London, for a massive moonwalk. The action, however, didn’t happen cos, according to our mate Thais Glittah, “people would be crushed”. Instead, they danced Thriller and Billie Jean. Amazing! Thanks to Glittah for the real time broadcasting. Ar-ra-sou!

The Burning Man June 25, 2009

The Burning Man Project  is an annual art & music event and temporary community based on radical self-expression and self-reliance in the Black Rock Desert of Nevada, every August. Much more than just a temporary gathering of people, it’s a true pop-up city in the middle of the desert. Innovative sculptures, installations, performance, theme camps, art cars and costumes all flower and spread out to the community.

In the words of Molly Steenson during the festival: ” You belong and you participate. You’re not the weirdest kid in the classroom — there’s always somebody there who’s thought up something you never even considered. You’re there to breathe art. Imagine an ice sculpture emitting glacial music — in the desert. Imagine the man, greeting you, neon and benevolence, watching over the community. You’re here to build a community that needs you and relies on you.”

 

You’re there to survive. You have to bring enough food, water and shelter because you will find no vending whatsoever.  You are there to create, since nobody at Burning Man is a mere spectator. You are there to experience, find your love and understand each other.  You go to celebrate and you’ll leave as you arrive. When you depart from Burning Man, you leave no trace.

Uh… the 2009 art theme is Evolution. Tickets are currently on sale on their website for U$280.  Burning Man TV is also available on internet.

And Grace Jones, 60, is triumphantly back. Main attraction of Sónar Night (pics below), one of the headliners at We Love Space in Ibiza this summer. But… has she ever gone away?

Alice in Wonderland June 22, 2009

Wonderland is situated in a neighborhood very close to Kinderland… and that’s why we love Tim Burton’s new project. They have  already started the buzz, by putting out  pictures from the movie where you can see Johnny Depp as a freakish-looking Mad Hatter, Helena Bohan Carter as the Red Queen, and Anne Hathaway as The White Queen, very very pale and the egg-shaped Tweedledee and Tweedledum (Matt Lucas).

It’ll be interesting to see what they look like in motion. Tim Burton’s  Alice in Wonderland will hit theaters on March 5th, 2010.

 

Be Sónar and dance June 21, 2009

Part 2 has been made possible thanks to the valuable contribution of our lovely coolhunters Livia Cardoso, from Belo Horizonte, and Mari Mineiro, from Lisbon.  

Thanks, chicas! We love you!

 

Be Sónar and smile June 21, 2009

Ahh, we love Sónar. Firstly, for its trendsetter reputation. Second, for actually being the ultimate streetwear runway, giving us the most fabulous possibilities for shooting real people fashion. By seing the exclusive photos that our  sweet coolhunter Chris Ortigoza (yes, she’s everywhere that matters) we see that colours are in again, happiness, fun accessories and all that relaxed attitude towards life that everyone should be working on these days. So, forget your problems. Put on your red shoes and dance, Professor Bowie said back in the day.

 

Have Sónar photos and want to share? Oh, just do it! Email us: somainkinderland@gmail.com Much appreciated! :-)
