New Gentlemen’s Club / Issue n° 1
New Gentlemen’s Club is an adult magazine at its roots: organic, clandestine, edgy, vibrant and thoughtful. The creators’ aim – in their words “a team of pervert editors and art directors” – was to fuck up the limit of decency, and they surely went through it, teaming up with an amazing group of pornographers, writers, artists, photographers and models. What should we expect from this subversive team? Definitely a strike against self-righteous. The first issue will be out on December 24th in a limited 500 copies edition, available in art book and indie shops. What a nice Xmas present! For more info check here.

Guest Interview n°12: Rory McKee
Where are you from and why are you in London?
I’m from Belfast, Northern Ireland. And I’m in London now because it’s real big and super fun.
When did you start your model career?
Two days ago!
What do you do apart from that?
Float around, climb trees, dance on moonbeams, sing to the wind. That sort of thing.
Your most embarassing moment?
I won’t tell.
What was your greatest satisfaction so far?
Oh, um, lunch today was kinda nice.
Your favourite place?
Under a hundred duvets.
3 songs?
It’s not really possible for me to pick only three songs. So of the music I’ve been listening to today, my favourite three songs are probably “Needle in the Camel’s Eye” – Brian Eno, “Marian” - Sisters of Mercy, and “Road” by Nick Drake.
A photographer who you would love to work with?
I love Leon Mark’s washed-out polaroid style of photography. He really manages to capture all the vitality of youth, and it’d be great to do some more stuff with him.
Your beauty idea?
Winona in court.
A nightmare?
Monsters?
What is the behavior that irritates you the most?
Overly well behaved with no sense of mischief.
A dream for the future?
World peace.
The kind of party that you love…?
Ones that never end.
An example of elegance?
Horses and the Queen.
What kind of music does inspire you?
Really, really good music.
The perfect soundtrack for a London typical rainy day?
The rain itself!
What’s your relationship with your aspect? Do you like you?
I tolerate myself just fine.
Complete this phrases:
Long hair…. is for girls.
Better alone than…. with other people?
Never say…. nasty things.
Avoid… awkward qustions.
Follow…. me on Twitter. Only joking.
My mother is…… fundamental to my existence.
I believe in….. $$$
My perfect breakfast consists of….. $$$
I (H) House H
In Japan magic things can happen in the architectural world and become effectively reality. House H is the new younger sister of the House N designed in 2008, but born in Tokyo from the creative and tremendously japanese mind of Sou Fujimoto. This time he perforated the building vertically and also horizontally, creating not only a continuity to the exterior landscape, but also a vertiginous continuity between the floors thanks to beautiful wooden staircases and transparent glass floors. Wouldn’ t you like to chill in a pool inside your living room while looking up at the sky and at your kids in their room?
