Hayley Mei Launch - Vancouver

26th November - stay tuned Van City. Details soon!

Perth Styles

Hey W.A. head on down to the Northbridge Festival this Saturday and Sunday. You can also score yourself some Hayley Mei jewellery, which is super good because normally we don't do markets... the Northbridge Festival is an exception because it is down-right awesome, plus we get a table amongst some of our favourite friends.

So You Think You Can Crip Walk?

So I think I can what?

I think I recall Al or Boura trying to show me this at the last Favela. I could barely walk a straight line, let alone show my crip skills - ha. It would have ended in broken ankles and tears. PS come back soon boys!

Yok Exhibition - Melbourne

Come see some new Yok at Don't Come Gallery, 6.30pm Friday 9 November.

How Very Aussie

Melbourne Cup Day at ours. For the first time, Melbourne shared it's public holiday with the rest of the country (aw, aren't we nice). We moved out into the yard for the day, enjoyed the warming weather and ate till we busted. Apologies to everybody for me being slightly out of it, I was starting to get sick and have been in bed-ridden ever since.








BBQ sauce shoe death.

I've decided to try and take the camera with me when I head out. You never know what you might see, even if you're just on your way to a meeting...

Punters on their way to Derby Day. About 5% of the crowd actually had some class. Someone needs to tell these kids that the races are not a nightclub, a casino or schoolies. Boys wearing pointy white shoes with black pants are gross.



On the way home at around 11am, we spotted some classy boys, dressed up to the nines, drinking beers and dragging around a half bottle of tequila. Nice. Is their any point even trying to dress up when you're gonna look and smell like a bum anyway?

Hayley Mei x ?

Hello, her name is



Way back in 1988 Ladie Poise began her aerosol addiction and started to apply her artwork to a variety of surfaces. Beginning her artistic career in Perth, she maintained her ambition and developed her skill, gaining recognition and teaming up with various crews along the way. Starting with TSA (The Stoned Age) she was later affiliated with such notable crews as ROT (Reign Of Terror), DCA (Deluxe Custom Aerosol) and the Twenty First Century crew.

Favela Rock 18 (Melbourne)

Birthday celebrations all 'round for Favela Rock 18. I had a stupidly late night thanks to daylight saving kicking in. Just one question - who were all those people? Still, it was a good night.

There was a cameo appearance from the first Mayoress tee. Still a while before you can get your hands on one, but they're coming... these cats will keep you posted. Bitches, get ready.

What's News?

The Hayley Mei collaboration details will be released next week!

The summer collection is almost done, as well as a nice surprise from the Mayoress crew. Anyone heading to Favela Rock in Melbourne this weekend could get a sneak preview.

The Vancouver launch of Hayley Mei is set for late November. Stay tuned Canada.

Don't forget:

Frankie does HM

Frankie has just made my day.

The current issue not only contains Hayley Mei but if you buy a copy in Melbourne, you get a glorius cupcake too.

Stop, collaborate and listen. Ice is Back...

Who's responsible for THIS?



My favourite Vanilla Ice moment (apart from Suge hanging him over a balcony): Vanilla Vs Todd Bridges. See what Willis was talking about.

Claw $ Vandals

I've always had a fascination with peacock feathers. They are even better with little claws on them and in the form of a Nike Vandal.

We Came To Party

We were MTV-lebrities on Friday night (thank you, Sanch!). After a tough week, the lure of drinks at a ritzy venue was inviting, more so than the promise of Bam, Tosh, and previews of the new shows that I will never get to see. There were lots of glam dresses and super hair do's, a hilarious VIP section and girls in 'I love Bam' tees serving prawn cocktails.

I could complain about the glams, which is opposed to my kind of classy - a crew dressed in fresh tees who can relax and have a good time without fixing their hair and looking sideways to see who's watching, each to their own, but, "Fuck you" to the 'ladies' who had their bitch-face on because I wasn't wearing a dress, at least I can still walk in my shoes after a couple of drinks.

Thank you MTV, for the quality drinks and having MAFIA rock the party. Pity it had to end at 9pm, I was just getting started.

Jump to Red Hot for pics.

I spy....Hayley Mei

You don't have to share with boys...

Jehst - Melbourne

Jehst finally made it to Melbourne. Is it just me, or is 1.40am a pretty late set time? The show started on Friday and Jehst didn't hit the stage until Saturday. Note to promoters: Probably no need for a million support acts.

My camera is still broken (there will be no fixing it, fingers crossed we'll have a new one by Favela Rock), pics were taken while we were waiting for the show to start. Soph got a killer pic at the end of the night too. Check Red Hot.

No pics of the show, sorry. Sanch and I were busy up the back looking tough.

Where's the cheese?

Best food at the moment - Cheese balls.



Pretend they are good for you.

Happy Birthday

A happy 2nd birthday to Favela Rock. It's gonna be a big one!
