Skins Series 5 – the UK Version

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkNAZLXA2TQ&feature=player_embedded]

I know there’s a lot of hype surrounding the premiere of MTV’s Skins Series One right now, but what about Skins Series 5?! They are, after all, the original. While I do believe that the MTV version will be successful in the states, watching the series will be like watching the original season from the UK all over again. Same plot – similar characters, etc. There is no official trailer yet, but here is the promo and the opening for series 5.

3D Friends – Lina Magic

Today’s Song of the Day will become the new theme song behind MTV’s Skins – the US version. SkinsTV has reported that they will speed up the track a bit, but here is the original song.

In the News…

The best stuff happens in December, I swear.

– Have you always dreamed of becoming a stylist to the stars? Here’s your chance! MTV Skins and Lookbook.nu – one of my favorite street style websites is collaborating on a new contest in which the two winners will have a chance to style the entire cast of Skins alongside the Series Costume Director Edward K. Gibbon. Keep in mind that you will not have access to designer clothes because the actors of Skins portray real teenagers, which means these are brand new actors working with scripts even written by young adults. Winners will also get a $1,000 shopping spree to Diesel. Learn more details here.

Music Spotlight: Viper Creek Club

The other day I made a post about Mad Rad’s remixed song “The Youth Die Young” featuring Viper Creek Club, but that was actually my first time hearing about VCC. I decided to check out their stuff and what I found was really no surprise. Mat and Brandon are a two-piece indie/electro duo out of Seattle. They’re currently unsigned, but these guys are so talented that I feel like that change could happen at any time. They will also be playing at the Mad Rad release show at Neumos next week. Unfortunately, it’s 21+ sorry young ones! The song of the day is “Eliza.” I’ve had it on repeat since yesterday. The beginning of this song sounds like the theme from the UK version of Skins also. Enjoy!

MTV Will Prove You Wrong

When news broke out last summer that MTV would be recreating the hit UK television series Skins, fans of the show reacted in the worst way possible. I’m not going to lie, I had my doubts as well. I imagined that MTV would censor the material and turn it into a series that would not even amount to what the UK version was. MTV decided to address the uncertainty that fans had by releasing these new promo photos to prove that they won’t butcher the series.

I see what you did there MTV. Alright…I can warm up to this…

To see more promo photos, click here. The best part about this is that the album is named “Haters Gallery.” That’s right, show them what’s up MTV.

A Collection Part 18

It’s time to transition out of August and into the fall that is September. Back to school – back to reality – back to dreams. I am so much happier w/ this collection post than the last one. These photographs are not as sarcastic as the last, but instead beautiful, inspiring, and more genuine.
