Street Peeper: Global Street Fashion

thexoxokids are being featured on Street Peeper!

Photobucket

Here's what trendspotter Josh Spear of www.joshspear.com has to say about Street Peeeper:
"Street Peeper is a street fashion blog that photographs well-dressed people on the streets of world capitals for the rest of us to look at and discuss. It is NOT The Sartorialist; it goes beyond the New York scene on a daily basis and it skews younger, so you can actually afford to replicate (or re-appropriate) some of the looks featured on it. And I haven’t even gotten to Street Peeper’s best feature: all of the photos are tagged, telling you what everybody is wearing, and clicking on the tag, Street Peeper shows you other people around the world who are wearing the same thing. (Just look at all the people wearing Cheap Monday jeans. Just look at them!) It’s a great global fashion trend-spotting tool, designed specifically for us people-watchers."

chadchad and thexoxokids.com's Canadian sabbatical is alllllllmost over and will be flying into Seoul on Saturday, August 16th just in time to celebrate proper with:

Photobucket
Photobucket

"MIXTAPE 5 fires Sat. 16th August. Due to a number of members being alive for another year and the night getting to the fifth event We are throwing a big BIRTHDAY PARTY. So please bring cake, balloons, party poppers, silly string and your best birthday suit (sic). As always, the name of the game is "game."

We are very interested in what everyone is listening to at the moment, so as a result we introduce our ҉ MIX EXCHANGE ҉. The idea being that you bring us a cd (tape/record/whatever..) of your favourite songs (of all time or just what you're listening to at the moment) and we'll trade you our MIX consisting of tracks we lovingly made (the first 50 people to arrive get one for free just for being early birders).

As always bring zines/artwork/etc. to sell or give out. The name of the game is sharing and we love to see what you are making. The event is intended not only as a party but also as a chance for creatives to circulate their wares and of course meet and greet.

Hopefully I shall be distributing a colour version of my zine this time too (fingers crossed).

You are the wings beneath my things,

Mixtape"

see you then:)
