I'M TAKING MY POVERTY SERIOUSLY





JEFFREY CAMPBELL SHOES + FRED FLARE SUNGLASSES + DRESS VIA CENTURY 21 (I THINK)

Today I interviewed at Buffalo Exchange to be a buyer and this is what I wore. Wish me luck because I'm in that uncomfortable position in life where I absolutely need a job; it's the fucking worst but a necessary evil. Aside from that, I just love that store. It would be dope to be a part of something I truly dig. One interview down, two to go. Pray for me kids. 

Be sure to check out the links below, I think my instagram is quite entertaining : ]

THE BLACKEST KIDS WE KNOW


Malcom Brickhouse, Jarad Dawkins and Alec Atkins aren't only the blackest names you've ever heard, they make up the heavy metal group Unlocking the Truth. Hailing from Brooklyn these tween metal heads are causing quite the buzz for themselves. Talented musicians come and go, talented twelve year olds are quite impressive but talented 6th grade musicians that play metal who happen to be black is blowing the minds of many. Yes, they're breaking down stereotypes; black people don't only like "black" things and it's totally refreshing to hear music and see faces we've somehow deemed incongruent. They're the faces of every black person that was accused of acting white, teased about how they spoke then asked to write letters home from sleep away camp because these bullies were almost teenagers but were completely illiterate (a true story from my race chronicles). I wonder how they got their name: Unlocking the Truth, whatever the story, it seems quite fitting. What's more truthful than not complying to social constraints and doing what you like? Think about it. Every move we make is influenced by the world. To be brave enough to act in a way that isn't expected of us deserves, at the very least, a write up on a fashion blog.

If you're in New York, Unlocking the Truth is playing tomorrow night in Williamsburg. Deets HERE

BUT I GAVE IT BACK








 THRIFTED NINE WEST HEELS + KIMCHI BLUE SKIRT + BORROWED SHIRT


It's so painful that this shirt doesn't belong to me but at least these pictures are forever. Everything about it: the cut, color and phrase screams Bruce Springsteen. Viva the '80s!

AN EDUCATION IN BASED

 



SILENCE & NOISE TOP + H&M + KIMCHI BLUE BELT + CONVERSE SNEAKERS


Saturday night I, Kim Julien, willingly went to a Lil B concert. Those who aren't familialr, Lil B is a 23 year old rapper that promotes a positive outlook and what I can only describe as an absurdest. Some hits include Wonton Soup & Hipster Girls, so yo have a feel for what we're dealing with here. Upon arrival I overheard a girl tell her friends that it was a real boner party in there (my words, not her's). She wasn't lying. Music Hall of Williamsburg was wall to wall dudes with a smattering of ladies. I quickly got an education on the cult like crowd that yelled "Lil B" when he commanded. His fans, at least the ones that will protect him at all cost, are called his task force and those wearing a pink bandana as B did that night are honorary members of a little thing called bitch mob. Lil B went a little long for my liking (two hours); a tight 45 minutes would have sufficed. All in all, I was entertained; he's not the best stage act but B prematurely calling for security every two seconds as if he could foresee an imaginary incident that never occurred was well worth the ticket price.
