Shoreditch is Williamsburg with more black lace, an addiction to hairspray, and no Sparks. Anyone who has hung out amongst the formerly fringetastic Ipso Facto clones may have noticed a decrease in the amount of lego ladies and an increase in eyebrow grooming (or an accentuation of a lack thereof.) Liquid liner isn't just for your lids, you know. Think Jennifer Connelly in Phenomena only darker and with a few less strays. To help me report on this East London trend, I have enlisted the help of the longtime queen (rather, Princess) of Shoreditch, Princess Julia. She's been a DJ and fashion icon for decades, has been in a zillion videos, and was famously the face of Visage's "Fade to Grey," and now co-runs P.i.X. Julia is a neutral source on this topic since she's chosen to live eyebrowless for years now.
Our first installment from the diary of Tournier Regare...
Had intended to start this diary aimed at chronicling an uninitiated American's struggle to adjust to life in this land of reputed inhibition and austerity back when I first arrived here 5 weeks ago. My most arduous struggle has been to find any differences between my homeland and the UK. Living in Texas (The Americas) for half of this decade, my skill for identifying and observing the nuanced peculiarities of native populations was finely honed by years spent marveling at the mysterious, gigantic cinder-block temple structures (which the colonials term "mega churches") ubiquitously disseminated throughout an area greater than that of the United Kingdom and applying astute scholastic scrutiny upon the worshipers (comprising nearly every living being of that vast region) who went to and from these great structures. My methodical examination of the mystifying behavioral quirks of the denizens of that alluring yet vexing land might have prepared me better for the one phenomenon here that has required my most urgent attention: cleavage.
