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! :-)

 

The photoze May 21, 2009

“Secretsundaze has changed the face of daytime clubbing.”
(Time Out)

Over its six-year history secretsundaze has gained a reputation as one of the most innovative, exciting and fun places to be for house and techno heads and party people alike. Utilising numerous risqué and often open-air venues, they have hosted some of the most colourful parties that London has seen in recent years. With their stylish, hedonistic crowd and their attention to detail on the production side, the parties now have the reputation as being the place that Europe’s finest underground DJs want to play at and Europeans visiting London have to go to. Over the years, the likes of Ame, Ricardo Villalobos, Carl Craig, Tobi Neumann, Trevor Jackson, Luciano, Dan Ghenacia and Steve Bug have all graced the decks.

Next party on 24th May, next Sunday, at the Ministry of Sound courtyard (2-10pm) and, later on (10pm-4am),  at the Coronet Theatre. Secretsundaze opening party photos above  by Dan Hill and fans from their Facebook group page.

Windows April 16, 2009

More cool examples of visual merchandising sent by our dearest coolhunter in Barcelona, Chris Ortigoza. Upside-down window,  feels-like-home window, vertical windows, animal-friendly windows…windows, windows, windows: you’re no longer the same…

 

Wayfarers are sooo yesterday, sunshine April 3, 2009

Ray Bans are Ray Bans. And the retro-styled Wayfarers have been a hit for, what, 4 or 5 summers? It’s time for a change!  The next big thing for the hot season that’s approaching the North Hemisphere are the Clubmasters from the same traditional brand. As the Wayfarers, they don’t fit every face. But… who cares?

Have a sunny weekend!

 

Ah, Switzerland… March 27, 2009

Cheers, Chris! ;-)

 

If we had clones… February 6, 2009

…we would be in Berlin tomorrow night. Oh yes, we would.

Because…

secretsundaze’s good people will throw a party at Panorama Bar with âme, Giles Smith, James Pirestley and Keith Worthy.

And…

there’s a Film Festival going on over there… 

Which means…

 it’s gonna be a hellllllll of a party, hey?

HOWEVER,…

as we’re miles away from being bitter, spoiled and jealous little girls – and we shouldn’t actually complain about our party routine lately – we still wish you a good weekend. Especially to those lucky buggers heading to  Am Wriezener Banhof tomorrow nite.

AT LEAST, let us know, will you? ;)

Condom sales rise through credit crunch

Condom sales are rising as cash-strapped couples opt for romantic nights in during the economic downturn

Durex reported a 10 per cent rise in sales to £126.4 million in the last six months to September 30. Analysts believe the reason for the increase is that a night under the covers is cheaper than a night on the tiles. Sales of its ‘Play’ range, which includes lubricants and vibrators, also rose by more than 27 per cent. A company spokesman said sales in the UK, France, Eastern Europe, Russia and China were particularly strong. The increases saw the firm’s pre-tax profits increase by almost 50 per cent to more than £30 million.

.

Ocado, the online retailer, also reported a 60 per cent increase in sales across its range of contraceptives. The company’s finance director, Jason Gissing, said: “We’re definitely seeing a rise in people staying in more, entertaining, cooking and clearly making their own fun.”
