Extended family member and banner girl (Although no longer blonde) Ms Rinnie was featured in the style section of the London Paper this Monday, 10-08-09.
She pretty much ethered everyone else featured and a big smile ran across my face when I saw her in it whilst on the tube. WNL famo pop up in the most random places I tells ya.
Rinnie gets love always and she dresses better than your favourite style icon, yes I said it.
In my first foray into presenting work outside of Street Talk, I got to interview the vastly talented and acclaimed illustrator, Pete Fowler (You have to see his website!).
It was a collaborative project between my guys at Hot110 and British street wear godfather, Boxfresh.
Thanks to Jonny and Chris as well as Boxfresh for the opportunity. More stuff coming soon...
On Monday, I met up with the good guys of Hot110 to collaborate on a project involving a renowned illustrator and vinyl toy maker as well as a big British street wear brand.
It's my first foray into the media game outside of Street Talk and anything I have done for Current UK, and I am very delighted that the work Jama and I are putting in is being appreciated by a lot of people. So much so I was approached to help out with this shin ding.
I can't say too much about it at the moment but all shall be revealed at the end of the week. In the meantime, take a look at some of the pictures Jonny from Hot110 took and I will have a short video chronicling my journey to the event up soon.
Much love to the Hot110 guys (Chris and Jonny). Make sure you hit up their site and add them on twitter.
So we've upload the "dirty" version of our documentary onto the Current UK site. Also went into the office today to deliver all the documentation as well as tapes and took my camera lady/editor to meet the commissioning team.
So yeah, enjoy our hard labour and feel free to leave your comments.
It should air on TV in the UK in a few weeks time with some slight differences as Current will add their graphics, credits etc. It's for the rebels and rebellion season of programmes.
P.S - If you're reading this and have a blog of your own or know someone with a blog, feel free to embed this onto it.
We need to spread this as far across the net as possible.
A million and one sites will have posted this by now. But for those of you who may not have seen it, here it is specially for you.
It's the BBC One Imagine...programme hosted by Alan Yentob which last week focused it's attention on one Sean Cory Carter. His achievements, background, family, friends and conquests.
Ree$e Dollaz and his Lavish Life Social Club crew were on set for Grand Hustle's, Young LA video shoot. He told me in the interview a few months ago that he and his crew were not playing anymore this year, and from the looks of it, they really aren't.
He's definitely getting his face out there. Much love to the LLSC family.
Is the reason I have not had a chance to update the site like I normally do and I suspect the beautiful sunshine is the reason the others haven't either. For this, we apologize to our loyal readers.
But yeah, on to sex and money. The theme of the next season of Current TV programming, which starts soon, I forget the exact date. Anyway, I was asked to come along and help out on location like I normally do and jumped at the chance because
1. This is the first time the channel has employed the use of an audience on location.
2. The location was in Soho, albeit the seedier side of Soho but Soho regardless and I love Soho!
I did not take a load of pictures like I usually do on location because I was working. You know how it is.

I was behind the screen cuing up the films the audience had to watch and then discuss with the presenters. Oh, the audience consisted of porn stars, the UK's first female porn director, prostitutes (one Australian lady called "Kill pussy") , dominatrixes, a big breasted wheel chair bound prostitute, a feminist and a comedienne.
Yup, I got to watch some S&M porn too. Some people are seriously weird...One guy got a kick from being made to strip, whipped and then drink from a toilet as well as licking the seat with his tongue, all located in an affluent area of New York. The dungeon that is.
My boy Sam the production assistant working the clapper and that guy in the top hat sitting is Sebastian Horsley an incredible and funny human being.
Exploring what the neigbours had on offer.
Well, I'll never do that again.
After shooting it was time to clear up because the club had to be open for the evenings business. Myself and Ben carried that dolly up two floors in baking heat not to mention the winding corridors. Sweet!
Shoot done we decided to head to the office then on to the pub for a few drinks. That little box Sam is holding contained all the footage of the day. We were transferring stuff from disc straight onto the hard drive. Those discs get really warm.
Joel Calvin a friend of Mr swagger blog himself, Sabien Flint. You have no idea what I'm talking about are you?
Well a few weeks ago after meeting N.E.R.D, Ms Stern and I tried our hands at a scene junkie competition to get the chance to interview them by asking them the most original fan question.
Well, we lost but we had fun making our entry. Below is the video of the fan interview who did win and at the beginning you get to see Mr swagger himself in the green fitted talking away. What's good Sabien?
Got some pictures and short footage of the set and what goes on behind the scenes at the recent Current TV shoot I helped out on.
I have some footage of Zara introducing the pod Lauren, Jack and I made for their season of programmes dedicated to the different social groups we all belong to. That's Jack, Lauren and I in the picture below. We look 1ft tall...haha. Shout out to Matt for the photo shoot.

Me with the awesome Zara on set. You have to hear her speak, her voice is sexy as hell. Plus she's incredibly warm and welcoming. First time I saw her since my internship ended at Current and it was a great reunion. She's always fun to work with.
Zara doing what she does.
That's my goal right there.
But I have to work my way up.
Insert Hulk reference ______ <---Here.
I'll upload more footage of us goofing around on set and what not. As well as Zara introducing our pod. Make sure you grab a feed and subscribe to WNLTV for more great stuff.

What a day! I still can't believe I spent as long as I did queuing up just to get N.E.R.D to appear on our esteemed site. The things we do for our readers...And trust, there's more to come. Scroll down for Almonds post for example. You like, huh?
Anyway, I'll quit talking and let you guys soak in some footage and pictures of the day. It was dope! Shout outs to all my fellow liners...It was intense.
Pharrell makes an entry
Closely followed by Shae and Chad
I tried to get P to say Whoresneverlearn.com but I think due to legalities he just asked me to do it and he would ride shot gun.
And just like that, they were gone.

The line after a few hours of waiting.
I call them Salt N Peppa you should call them Dweeb Frat
We had to entertain ourselves in the line somehow and Jodie Si of the Dweebs pretty much held that down all by herself. That's a star in the making you see before you in glasses.
I could have done with a Benjy's at this point -No homo were applicable-
More BAPES, FAPES and Ice Cream/BBCs than you can shake a stick at.
Ms Caramellita came in on the act too.
Soon to be Ms Caramellita adoring fans. Her album in stores soon!
To the skater sister...Email me, face book me or call me using the card I gave you. I want you in the project we briefly spoke on.
N.E.R.D's assistant, Rick. Pretty cool dude.
Just in case someone forgot. The Benz vans the group came in got a few WNL stickers as well as a Kicks one too. Hi Cath ('',)
The stuff that got signed. Sweet!
The epilogue.
While I was waiting in line I spotted the mighty Fatsarazzi introduced myself and asked if I could take a picture with him. He said nah, I want a portrait of the man behind the machine known as whoresneverlearn!
Yup, Fats knows about us through our affiliation/family ties with BNTL
Big up your chest, fam! So yeah, below is Fats portrait of yours truely. You can also see more pictures of the day he tookHERE
Also taking some dope pictures was one of the coolest people I have met of late, Baz Bravo and his boy Mickey. Good looks fam!
So there you have it. The new mantra...You WILL know our name!
More pictures as well as videos. Stay tuned! But in the meantime here's Sole Obsession for those who may have missed it. Shameless plug, I know...Sorry.
