So today I went to Enfield town.

A) I finally found i-D magazine, in the mens interest section. For a start its not a mens magazine, its unisex, and it used to be in the womens fashion section so you can't just decide one day that it is going to be a mens magazine. Why is there not a unisex section? I mean Wired and New Scientist are in the mens interest section, next to FHM & Nuts. Thats a little bit sexist, that suggests women are not in to science and cannot enter a career in medicine, and also forbids women to have any interest in technology. Is this or is this not the 21st century?

B) On the bus home some girls got on and looked about 13, but were really short, and got asked for their oyster cards and said they were 10. This only really shocked me because they were wearing leggings and mini skirts and tights with real Uggs and Abercrombie and Jack Wills hoodies. They were talking about fashion and shopping and trying to be all grown up, but then when the bus door wouldn't shut properly, like the immature 10 year old they were started laughing like loons. Totally juxterposed themselves there.

Point is though that back in 2002 when I was 10 I didn't get anything better than Tammy Girl. I was still recovering from the 90s grunge look wearing 'grunger jeans' and grey hoodies, with slogan t-shirts and long wavy hair (yeah I was a misfit, lol.) I didn't even know what Jack Wills was. They are going to grow out of it, I mean what a waste of money! It just irritates me.

There is just too much pressure to grow up fast these days. I would have rejected that statement when I was that age, but now I guess it's true.

I am going to London Zoo tomorrow :) How cool am I! I probably haven't been there since I was 10. Should be awesome.

THEY CANNOT MAKE AN AMERICAN SKINS. DIE AMERICA WORLD! DIE!

US SKINS OFFENDS ME!

WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO ME!

TO ENGLAND!

DESTROYED!

As if Skins series 3 wasnt bad enough, they then go and do this.

HA! I would like to see you try!

I don't care if its the same producer guy; with american kids, a Baltimore setting, and MTV's influence, it is going to suck. End of.

Eww, they are all going to be wearing Abercrombie n Hollister.

Body Art.

I have always been brought up being told 'Never get a tattoo... they are a waste of money... will look nasty when your old... you will regret it...' etc.

But as Oscar Wilde famously wrote "Youth is wasted on the young."

I think if something is meaningful enough to you it will never lose its beauty, besides I never intend on getting old.
Maybe its just the influence of images of Freja Beha Erichson and the Suicide Girls, or me going through a rebellious stage but I think sometimes that they can be really beautiful. It is a work of art.

Here are some I came across that I really liked...

I speant a while contemplating this one thinking that it should say 'heart' and not 'bliss' but I think that is what makes this one so personal. Perhaps this person doesn't believe in love. The idea of the heart monitor suggests they live life on the edge and perhaps they like their relationships the same way.

This is another one people may percieve as stupid, but what if Spiderman is this guys hero and always has been since age 4. If he is this old and still regards him as a hero why not. Maybe he is scared he will forget his childhood hero, or maybe he is just following his childhood dream to be Spiderman when he grows up.

I like this one because what it says on the post stamp could be an important day to a person. A day they never want to forget. Maybe even your birthdate and place could go there.

 

I'm a cynic and like the idea of having eyes on the back of my head.

Girls can be such bitches.
