We Don't Care About the Young Folks

Jess Loves Fred Jessica Tran

So, I did not expect a response as big as what it was, regarding my v-log. I don't hear the accent myself but I guess we all do have accents. Which made me wonder...is it possible to have a voice that isn't marked by an accent to others? Is it even possible to have an accent-less voice? Do animals have accents? Do racial stereotypes even apply to animals? Do Mexican cats run around wearing invisible sombreros getting intoxicated on tequila? Regardless, I'll be making more v-log outfit posts in the future, even though I feel incredibly dumb addressing a little blue light blinking at the top of my laptop.

It was originally formed by two best friends from Sydney, who were hopeless romantics and fed up with being the only single people in their friendship circles. They viewed relationships as exclusive little clubs and as such decided to form their own one with the pact that if they were both still single when they are 45 they would get married. Over the space of a year, this personal joke expanded into a boutique T-shirt label.

As a boutique T-shirt label we believe in the fundamental that clothing should not be mass produced. Our tee’s are printed in very limited editions of 45 per a shirt size, as a tribute to the marriage pact. We use high quality slim-fitting T-shirts, don’t use sweatshops in any phase of production, and hand print in Australia. We also believe in the talent of upcoming artists and designers, and base our selection of artists on talent and originality, not immediate popularity.


Lonely Kids Club has some pretty sweet t-shirts, and they're a burgeoning young Australian label so you should check them out. I don't usually wear tees but this one had such a lovely little graphic that kept reminding me of Young Folks - Peter Bjorn and John and subsequently I walked around the whole day with that whistling tune rattling around my head. Moral of the story. Like t-shirts? Check them out. Like Peter Bjorn and John? Even better.

I watched Pirates of the Carribean 4: On Stranger Tides the other day and I love the series but NO KEIRA KNIGHTLEY/ORLANDO BLOOM? REALLY? PENELOPE CRUZ? REALLY?? Barely any screen time/short cameo by that monkey that Jack hates? Sickening. But the mermaid scene BLEW MY MIND, probably one of my favourite filmic depictions of mermaids I've seen to date. My birthday is on Wednesday the 1st, 18 finally! Watch out, world.

Speaking of coming of age and life turning points and such, I'm planning to move out very soon and can hardly wait. Moving out with females means limitless ability to walk around in my underwear and be a general slob without being told off constantly. Being able to get up at 4am and make myself 6 packets of instant easy mac without getting told off. Doing anything sloth-like in nature and not getting told off, really.

Moving out! That's so exciting/scary. I just house sat for three weeks and I felt like I was CONSTANTLY either cleaning, cooking, playing nintendo, putting on washing or wondering where my cat was.

It was awesome though.

Good luck!!

Hey, I've been reading your blog for quite a while now and I really like it! I guess I should write something more creative than "Oh, I really, really like your outfit!!" but yeah... I really, really like your outfit!

Cristiana Nunes said...

Amazing pattern and colour mix! Love the shoes and the clucth!

Kristi said...

Clutch was my favorite part. And I've always wondered if I could go live in a foreign country for long enough to realize that American accent. Weird thing about accents, you sound the say you do without even realizing it. And how do accents even develop?? Does the weather influence the way we say "table" or "corndog" or something? Odd.

Michelleesque said...

Okay. I'm going to type as I would if I was to speak out loud. I normally write all "normal" but today I don't feel like it.

BEST OUTFIT EVAR.
EVAR. That print, that shirt, that color combo between blue and black/white is pure GENIUS.

K. I'm done.
:)

1. Define 'others'. People who sound like you? No. People who don't sound like you? Yes.
2. No. Unless you are the only living being in the universe.
3. Accents are a social construct, so they do if we decide to humanise them.
4. Racial stereotypes don't equal accents, but yes, racial stereotypes apply to animals. Because racial stereotypes are an arbitrary construct made up by people and so they can apply to anything.
5. You obviously have not met Ebeneezer and Snooch: http://twolumps.net/d/20090306.html
