Internet got possibilities you don't even know about yet. Here we have a brand new parallel world that yes mirrors the society it's founded in in many aspects, but does first and foremost contain a whole other spectra of opportunity due to it's inherent structure. The most beautiful part of this structure is how fast information and knowledge can be shared, and how accessible information now is. Knowledge is power. Considering that; do you think it's strange that the ones with the power in today's society are scared to death right now and tries to blackout the ACTA-agreement? Everything just got turned upside down.

What does that mean to us: Here is the possibility to start over, making things that got wrong right. Imaging Internet as a parallel society where the same hierarchies hasn't been set  - yet. Therefor it is, for every norm criticizing person who focus on real equality (everyone is equal regardless of ethnicity, class, gender and sexuality), extremely important to defend internet and the open flow of information, cause there you have it - YOUR FUTURE.

Prostest against ACTA today 12.00 Sergels Torg - see you there!

Add to that a tool that can sum up statistics, collect and sort out massive amounts of people's collective knowledge. Brilliant Open Source ideas like Wikipedia is just the beginning of it, just imaging what the Internet could do for (real) democracy used the right way! You should defend it like it's your new born baby!

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!)

Whats up 2F1's! It's Alex the Intern, i'm back to that PRAO LIFE again! I'm sitting here thinking about how I gained knowledge of and came in contact with the 2FACED1-family, and decided to share some of my favorite post during the years I've been following this blog - while I tell you a little bit about why I choose these particular ones!

L O N G C O A T
- The first one is a blogpost from 2009 that makes me a little bit nostalgic, and yes I know I'm just 15 and that was only two years ago but still it was a long time ago for me(!), it was when I first started reading the Decida Style blog and have been following it ever since, and note the Gypsie's comment! + the fact that Decida obviously was right about these coats if you look around!

2FACED1 state of mind!
