These new D&G shoes I got on eBay are hot. I’d have to say that D&G tends to be my least favourite designer and they really take that whole euro trash thing a bit too seriously for my liking, but I would have bought these shoes whether they were super cheap or super expensive. These are the kind of shoes that you could imagine wearing in a movie like Casino, without coming off as a sleazy bitch with a vicious coke habit.

I pre-ordered this hoodie over the internet from Mishka NYC in winter but it didn’t arrive till the end of November and it’s way too hot to wear it now. I can only really put it on for show at the moment. The guy who runs the label collects Mr T paraphernalia and strangely he and Diplo used to live in a hippy commune together.
Also, this is a Nintendo watch that I always wanted when I was a kid and then found one day on eBay. It works and you can plug your headphones in and play Tetrus and everything..

I got this ‘Drunk on the Popes Blood’ Birthday Party t-shirt in 96, on permanent loan from a girl who shortly became my ex. Since then there have been numerous attempts at acquisition by other peopleboth through purchase and theft. The exact origin of the t-shirt is unknown, but the artwork represents the live recording that is described as “16 minutes of sheer hell!”

This is a pair of Keith Haring board shorts which I got for $3 at an op shop. They’re a great find because I collect Keith Haring gear and they’re worth $150 on eBay. I’m about to get matching Keith Haring tattoos with my best friend.

I don’t really have a favourite thing. I don’t have much at all. Everything I own fits in this one bag. The stack of plain tees is because I’m over being a cotton billboard. These shoes have helped me traverse Crystal Caverns like Cinderella’s glass slippers allowed her access to the ball.

This is my favourite shirt. It’s a white long-sleeved button-up with roses embroidered down the sides and across the back. My old man used to wear it on stage back in the 80s. He fronted for a metal band called Almost Human who opened for bands like AC/DC, Whitesnake, and Cheap Trick. Since I got the shirt off him I’ve worn it out so much that it has a bunch of stains and all the buttons have fallen off apart from the top two.
