MUSIC/DANCE/FASHION - Around the WWW

2FACED1 STATE OF MIND:
- The Vatican condemn Benetton's new #UnHate campaign, but we love it! (And I'll be back on Benetton and their history of campaigns in a bit, it's not unproblematic)

- Ms LINA Thomsgård is featured in VOUGE ITALIA, an article that of course focus on RÄTTVISEFÖRMEDLINGEN / EQUALISTERS - one can wish for an Italian branch!

If you're not familiar with it (om du är svensk så är du nog redan det), and am a 2FACED1 I highly suggest you get involved. Here we have a tangible way of practice what we preach; the EQUALISTERS use social media to correct the imbalances of representation in different fields. This is not about affirmative action, it's instead a way to get around the simple mathematics of: people in positions of power usually have a network around them existing of the same type of people as themselves. In this same network their recruitments commonly takes place. Consider that they via The EQUALISTERS get in contact with people from other networks with same qualifications as the ones in their network, names to add to their list of possible jobholders when they start the assortment. This is a way to hasten the evanescence of structural injustice related to class, gender, ethnicity and sexuality. Become a tipster over at their Facebook (SWE) Eng version not as active yet)

-  HIGH SNOBETTE highlights the old never ending problem in Street Wear; Women's Street Wear, Alexander Wang and Jeremy Scott still do it best but they're not really Street Wear are they... Howsoever: Front Magazine should be called Fall Behind Magazine

- Elin Unnes write about Powerdressing over at BON, and pinpoints the fact every 2FACED1 already know, we dress the way we do also because we know how people tend to look at us.

MUSIC:
Julianne Escobedo Shepherd was on the road with Tyler, The Creator and Co a couple of days, and you can read  Odd Future On The Road over at SPIN magazine. Worth a read and points in the direction I've guessed, the whole crew are a bunch of stereotypophobes, I would call them 2FACED1s. The most interesting thing they will do is yet to come, I think. We'll wait and see. 

DANCE:
US dancer STORYBOARD is in Sweden, body talking on HÖTORGET

FASHION:

Since we had the forerunner Lil Kim two days ago why not follow up with some Nicki Minaj. Nicki in W Magazine by Francesco Vezzoli and styled by Edward Enninful, Director of photography: Pasquale Abbattista. Adorable!!!  GHETTO BAROQUE once again up in here! (Speaking of it, I think it's time for a highlight of the time when the expression Ghetto baroque got coined, ten years ago! Soon!)
