bastard blog

Two out of my biggest three passions are naked women and skateboarding.

After a life spent attempting, frequently in vain, to have the two things coexist, thanks to Playboy Enterprise, I can finally look at the realization of the ideal scene: a skatepark, a wood bowl and four beautiful girls dressed up with nothing but shoes and socks as they ride their skateboards.

Thanks to granpa Huge Hefner who’s always made us dream and thanks to skateboarding which has always been fun.

Marco Lambertucci a.k.a. Bauli, in a short Blind video commercial, just fresh of publication.

Last Wednesday, for the Launch Party #29 Ivan Rivado from JART Skateboards paid a visit to the bastard store and set the bowl on fire!

On wednesday, January 26th at the COMVERT headquarters we celebrated the launch for the Fall Winter 2011-12 bastard, Electric and JART collections with the Launch Party #29 – and yeah, we’re already at our twentyninth collection!

Fresco distribution contributed with a supply of the new excellent BSA beer and with a selection of products from Matix, Lakai, DVS, Makia and Brixton. The Iraola brothers, owners of JART, replied bringing in the mix a couple of good skaters to warm the bowl session and a Jamón ibérico that they personally sliced up for the attendees.

We have tried to behave but it was hard…

The bastard store upstairs showroom will stay open for orders by appointment starting this week through March 10th.

Random just published a new clip to present the riders of  Too Much Too Serious.

The new clip is dedicated to Matteo Borgardt aka Whatza, an American snowboarder grown up between California and Colorado. Whatza decided to settle in Italy after a short trip in the Alps.

It seems that he feels comfortable around here.

The guys at Random Video spend most of the year closely with Lukas and Watza. I assume they spend more time with them than with their girlfriends.
At the end of the year everything summarizes in a three minute videopart, that are often not enough to tell the whole story.
This is why Random adds the “Random Presents” clips: 45 seconds with the riders featured in Too Much Too Serious. Here’s the clip dedicated to Lukas Goller.

p.s. Lukas has also designed with Andrea Vecchi the snowear bastard 2010 collection. Keep up the good work Luki!

For a new season, Chérie’s Tree House is blooming in Milan.

Under a renewed autumn mantle you can dive in the woodland dreamish atmosphere of the fairy tale market.

Now to its sixth edition, Tree House will welcome you for the whole weekend at the 247 Showroom in via Pestalozzi, 4.

For those of you still in search of the most creative Christmas gift or the unmissable vintage item, for those who want to taste the all natural specialties of the bar or the now legendary vin brulé, for those who are interested in the istrionic dj set by Giandisco or for those who simply want to spend an afternoon wrapped up in a fantasy world.

I’ll be waiting for you there… as usual with a scoop in my hand and a shade of red wine on my cheeks :)

Edo Paris, bastard store manager and Mc Skateboards’ team manager, just published a little promo video for Nicola Giordano, recently acquired lazy rider.
This is the first time Edo challenges himself with filming and editing, and the way he describes the video in his little made me smile in a good way.
Here it goes:

Fingerprints and hairs on the lens, cutoff heads and final slam! This my first self filmed and edited video.
Introducing Nicola Giordano.

We love Olimpia Zagnoli‘s work – in the next bastard Artistuff collection out in march 2010 there is an Olimpia’s artwork on t-shirt – but I knew a little about her hystory. I discovered that she went as a child to the famous Reggio Emilia’s kindergartens, which I met some time ago.

In this video that resumes her recent lecture at AIGA/NY she talks about herself, her inspiration sources and her work in New York.

Pink is Punk celebrate the launch of their new Lp Beatport by visiting the capital city.
