Vancouver’s naughtiest fashion show and auction benefit was everything expected and more. The Be Bare fashion auction show at the Commodore ballroom (868 Granville Street) was a success, not only for the designers who showcased their work, but also for the individuals in the crowd who wanted to dress just like the models they saw.

Listening to Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” seemed to influence us all at one point in some way. But amongst all the material that floats around, it truly grabbed a young girl from Atlanta, serving as one of the reasons she became inspired to create her own music.

Few of us can remember having a bank account at eighteen that rivals that of most adult professionals. In fact, at eighteen, I don’t believe I have that much exceptional experience to shower people with stories of. Definitely little in comparison to that of “Crunk & B” superstar Ciara, who states that she is in reality, a “simple” girl. A simple girl who has achieved platinum sales before being able to have a drink legally.

You’re a joke. Everything in your interview and about you (at least what I know) is a contradiction.

ghet·to /ˈgɛtoʊ / Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[get-oh]

3. a section predominantly inhabited by Jews.

Hey your majesty, so by your implication of ghetto “revival” you’d like to bring back ethnic minorities forced to live in the same poor run down slums? Maybe what you were trying to say was slum revitalization?

We all know you’re “basking in the hate”, right now just like your little hero John Brown who was considered a terrorist, and a mad man, and a brutal murderer. He even hacked two men to death.

However maybe he’s the perfect alias for you, your majesty.

After he lost everything he basically decided out of no where that he wanted to abolish slavery, but really he just wanted to take over the country and even wrote his own constitution. He would have declared himself “King”, so the moniker John Brown, King of the Burbs, fits perfectly.

Now don’t get it twisted, I’m from Philly, and actually Philly not Allentown like “G-child”, and I also watched every episode of The White Rapper Show. My husband is even a huge fan of yours and I even considered buying a Ghetto Revival shirt for him….just playing, he thinks you’re a joke too. However you are probably are the best joke ever because of how delusional you are. It’s almost as if you just link words together that you think sound good. Persia should have won.

The Stussy clothing company and renowned rock/rap musician photographer Josh Cheuse teamed up to present the “Rockers Galore” photo exhibit/party last week. The event was hosted by the good people at Goodfoot, at their recently opened Vancouver location (36 Powell St.).

The Josh Cheuse x Stussy collaboration brought a great night to the privileged few that were lucky enough to attend. The night began at around 8 p.m. and continued until the taps ran dry.

Those who attended seemed to really enjoy the works of the photographer whose “work rocks without effort.” The photographs seemed to please the crowd who celebrated the images on display.

There were also copies of the newly released photography book by Cheuse entitled Rockers Galore, which will be released by Stussy:books, as well as limited print tees being shown off to those in attendance.

The night was nothing short of great with complimentary drinks and great music by The Freshest Kids (DJ’s Seko, Rico Uno, Kutcorners, Marvel), playing fresh beats and tunes throughout the night.

The works of Josh Cheuse will continue to be shown at the Vancouver Goodfoot location for the rest of the month.
