THIS IS ENGLAND

I came across the film “This Is England” a few months ago and just recently found it on Netflix the other day. The drama directed by Shane Meadows… centres on a group of young skinheads in England in 1983. The film illustrates that the skinhead subculture, whose 1960s roots include elements of black culture (especially ska, soul and reggae music), eventually became adopted by white nationalists, which led to divisions within the skinhead scene. Great film… the ending is pretty intense…

“A skinhead is a member of a subculture that originated among working class youths in the United Kingdom in the 1960s… the first skinheads were greatly influenced by West Indian (specifically Jamaican) rude boys and British mods, in terms of fashion, music and lifestyle. Originally, the skinhead subculture was primarily based on those elements, not politics or race. Since then, however, attitudes toward race and politics have become factors in which some skinheads align themselves… Fashion-wise, skinheads range from a clean-cut 1960s mod-influenced style to less-strict punk- and hardcore-influenced styles.”

Qubic & Quaters

Frank & Ivy (Qubicstore / Quaters Boutique) dropped by Orange County after spending some time checking out Paris Fashion Week… oh how I wish I could go one day. Frank was craving for some Taiwanese food, but we took him instead to A & J Restaurant in Irvine for some delicious Northern Chinese food. After some small talk, four noodle dishes, a fried chicken rice dish, eight steam buns, five chinese meat pies, tofu with thousand year old egg, spicy cucumbers, eight pot-stickers, eight spicy dumplings, and I forgot what my point was but damn we finished everything. After a few jokes and stories we went back to the office and Frank and Brian started nerding out on their Lumix GF-1 while I enjoyed the rest of the day with a stuffed tummy and not working, I love it when guests stop by. Follow Frank on his blogs below, quite an interesting fella, well spoken words on his blogs, and great nerdy pictures to see too. If you’re ever in New Zealand check out his spots, the Qubicstore and Quaters Boutique, some very nice brands he carries there. Frank I’ll be hitting you up for some Bedwin stuff soon.

Good Time


Last night, Vanness invited us to have dinner with his family before he has to go back to Asia and continue his Japanese EP promotion.

I don’t know why they served shrimp shao mai in a Japanese sushi restaurant, but it was damn delicious!

Stuffed Jalapeño was good too.


Thanks for inviting us, Van. We’ll see you in couple months!
