DOS & DON'TS

Man is it a relief to see a woman show a touch of refinement instead of slutting it up all over the place. There's something about silk gloves where you just know you can take her to dinner with your parents and they won't spend the whole time thinking about all the rough, dirty, messy sex the two of you are getting up to.

Fuck all these LA posers walking around with Germs shirts and talking about Darby Crash like they knew him. Punk is dead you homos.

CAN YOU SHOW ME YOUR FAVORITE ITEM OF CLOTHING? - PART 2

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 people—both 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.

Damien (Nuts) Kelly
Skateboarder/Commercial Painter, Adelaide

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.
