1) I’m still mad at Drew. I don’t even know why I’m still mad at him. Maybe it’s because he doesn’t realize how happy I am with Ivan. I’m surprised he still remembers his name.

2) So, fashion bigwigs are stealing ideas from kids and going for glow-in-the-dark items? I guess so. Just thank Kanye (who has a namesake tour and sunglasses trend this summer) and 80s-inspired couture.

3) I’m in love with a wonderful indie-pop husband-wife duo called Mates of State. They’re as fun as their name sounds, with syrupy harmonies and beats that make you shake it, and then some.

Bye!!! -Henry

1) I remember when I first met Drew; I was about seven or eight. Who knew that an iguana he named as a cat would lead to our (best) friendship.

2) So guys, you’ve probably heard about accessorizing, but it can’t be stressed enough. Belts and bracelets can complete any outfit. And this goes for girls, too (but they already know this obviously, so no need to explain).

3) The Ting Tings are cool and they’re Danish, I think. I like them a lot!

Sorry this is uber-late! -Henry

NEXT WEEK’S STRIPS :: Henry still struggles to deal with Drew.

1) So some random things happened. Also, I still can’t get over what Drew did. I had to scowl at him in the hallway and I hate doing that because it leaves wrinkles.

2) Apparently not having a fashion sense and rejecting labels is the new trend? How woulda thunk it.

3) As long as I’ve had this blog I never even made a TINY mention of the Gossip …?! I can’t believe myself. I have failed you all as trendspotter.

That’s all for now, so see you! -Henry

NEXT WEEK’S STRIPS :: A flashback to when Drew and Henry first met.

1) Drew’s no longer my friend. Not only does he dislike Ivan for whatever reason, but he pretended to hit on him, just to see if Ivan would actually ditch me. Not only does that show how crappy his loyalty is, but it also means he thinks my judgment is bad. I’m really hurt.

2) Sunglasses are obviously coming back soon. I like the classic black ones, a la Rayban. I’m getting tired of seeing aviators everywhere.

3) Who’s tearing up parties in New York I’m too young and too far away to attend? Why, that would be DJ Mami K10, of course. She seems like a really awesome dance partner.

Well … that’s it, I guess. Still mad about Drew, but whatever. -Henry

1) So, Holly finally managed to get back at the boutique for not selling items that can fit her frame. She didn’t bathe, lied to an environmentalist and eventually managed to get a local feminist group to crash the place for her. My sister is smarter than I give her credit for …

2) Eco-friendly clothes, unlike some stuff, is in all season, all the time. You can buy jeans, sandals and other items made from hemp and reused or environmentally friendly materials. Look stylish and save the Earth, a pretty good combo, don’t you think?

3) I’m addicted to Eurovision. What is Eurovision, you ask? Well, it’s an annual competition held in Europe (this is the 52nd year) where all the countries send a singer to represent them. The music can range from local folk music to disco, to pop-rock. The favorites this year are Turkey, Sweden and Greece. But if you need a laugh, check out Spain’s entry, too.

That’s all for now, friends! Bye! -Henry.

NEXT WEEK’S STRIPS :: Henry comes to terms with Drew’s indifference of Ivan.

5.10.08 - RECAP AND REVIEWS :: Breakup Anniversary, Native and Indian Inspiration, Chromeo. May 11, 2008

1) So, it would have been the six-month anniversary of The Boy Who Shall Not Be Named and me. But instead, I celebrated by shopping with Ivan and buying him … an issue of The Amazing Aardvark Squad. Yeah, I don’t get it either.
2) I think Native-American inspired stuff will be in this season. This goes from shoes to dresses and blouses. Also, saris and sarongs (er, kaftans?) seem to be the in thing now, thanks to influences from Bollywood and South Asian culture. I think the emersion was a long-time coming and needs to happen with other places!
3) Chromeo kinda sounds like the band Cameo, by name and by sound. They’re a dance-electro pop duo and when you listen to songs like “Needy Girl” expect to get off your feet and shake it.
That’s all for now, so ciao! - Henry

NEXT WEEK’S STRIPS :: Holly takes extreme measures with her boycott of the boutique.

1) I’m really happy Pam got over her breakup. However, was taking it out on Dad really necessary? She did apologize though, but again, it’s Pam and you can never tell the difference between an apology and an insult.

2) Last week I mentioned Leona Lewis. Another import across the pond I adore is Adele. She has a really soulful voice that could put many crooners today to shame.

3) Are bow-ties really coming back in style now? Well, it appears so, according to Joanna Goddard and Joey Sulipeck.

Take care! -Henry

NEXT WEEK’S STRIPS :: Six months later, Henry remembers the breakup with The Boy Who Shall Not Be Named.

1) So this week I randomly focused on my Dad. I actually keyed in on his superhuman abilities, like being able to consume expired coffee beans (is that possible?) and talk to animals. Yes, he is an interesting man, but I’m glad he’s my dad.

2) I’m ditching my normal anti-Top 40 plug and instead decided to ride the Leona Lewis wave. Everyone likes her song “Bleeding Love” but I ADORE “Better in Time.” Check out a video here!

3) For spring, it’s time to clean out your closet. Wearing jeans aren’t all bad, but wearing them all the time gets old. Try wearing cords or chinos, something else to perk up your pre-summer wardrobe. This site has some tidbits for men and women.

Ciao! -Henry

1) Holly and Drew have a right to be protective. They’re my sister and best friend. However, was a strip search really necessary? I mean, they thought I brought home an axe murderer or something!

2) I like this electroband called DangerousMuse. The lead singer is dreamy and his voice is reminiscent of Robert Smith from The Cure.

3) I really wish the US would get with it with scarves. It seems like everyone in the UK at least) wears these things called shemaghs, which are really Middle Eastern headdresses for men. I just ordered one today.

Well, that’s all for now. Bye everyone! -Henry

NEXT WEEK’S STRIPS :: Henry spotlights his dad.

1) So, Pam went on and on and on about her man, only to have him dump her on her date she was so excited about. I can’t believe it, myself. I feel sorry for her. I hope she doesn’t take it out on Dad at work.

2) Yelle = amazing. Don’t believe me? Check out her website and listen to the track, “A Cause des Garcons!”

3) Got a belt that keeps slipping? Try using a paper clip to hold it in place. It works for me.

Ciao bella! -Henry
