“Today no one is so crude as to decry “race mixing,” which back in the day drew a straight line from sharing a blackboard to sharing a bed. Even Keith Bardwell, the Louisiana justice of the peace who recently refused to marry a black man and white woman, says he was thinking only of “the children.” Perhaps he’s seen the streets of Baton Rouge grow darker; the mothers pushing brown, black or mixed-race babies more numerous. Like him, the fringe ranters emphasize birth, nattering on about a constitutional crisis while nurturing the more fertile idea of a woman and man reproducing, unnaturally.” — Red Scare, Black Scare

Cuz there’s only so much you can say in a paper that’ll be toss into TTC recycling bins…

“It’s made Fairbrother a love-her-or-hate-her Tumblette: She’s garnered a cult of 800 to 900 active followers and, last week, was ranking higher than other micro-celebrities and fellow oversharers, like Internet star Julia Allison.” Oh my god, that whole paragraph is so embarrassing. Has this “journalist” ever even heard of Tumblr?

The Vandal Hi Vintage from Nike’s Spring 2010 line. The swoosh matches the nylon upper on both colourways, with a constrasting strap (grey/black on the green shoe, and pink/orange on the grey one).
The outsoles have Nike’s vintage treatment, and appear to be off-white.
This reminds me of the difficulty I had in prying my old Sneaker Freaker magazine out of the hands of participants in a workshop I gave yesterday at Ryerson. (I was showing it off as an example of style-driven niches in print: Sneaker Freaker, Muslim Girl (RIP), Worn Fashion Journal, etc.)
Back track: I was invited by Verse City to give a fash journalism 101 talk to emerging Scarborough-based writers, photogs, editors and art directors who are the midst of creating the next edition of Say Word Magazine. (It was kind-of-sort-of like the talk I gave to the Style Council.)
Verse City is trying to get an Aviva Fund to support an initiative that provides journalism mentorship to Aboriginal youth. Currently, they’ve been collaborating with East Metro Youth Services to provide multimedia journalism workshops.
I’ll be straight up and say how INSPIRING it was to meet the east end’s finest. I kept telling a few of the girls how badly they gotta connect with the Style Council! The fashion editors got four pages for fashion, and wanna do a prom style spread, confront the the runway’s lacking model diversity and offer high and low choices (they went gaga for Two Bitchez Deep, a local DIY fash blog that Septembre turned me onto).
