You might have heard about the latest quarrel between the Ghallagher brothers of Oasis which led to the recent cancellation of their European tour.
You might have also heard that the spat broke-out at the Rock en Seine Music Festival in Paris, which welcomed nearly 100,000 music-fiends a day this past weekend.
Despite the drama, the 3-day [...]

My Holga
Posted in LA, Lifestyle, Photography, Travel on Aug 31st, 2009
I recently inherited one of these in black from my older sister. Who would have thought that a camera which weighs about 2 lb’s would take such fantastic photos. Pick one up at Sammy’s camera on Fairfax for about $50….or at your local Urban Outfitters. They come with or without a flash, and you don’t [...]
CP is back for fall 2009 with some more of the same as well as some incredible new designs. And when the same means beautiful classics that look good forever, who’s to complain? I heart the black high-tops, but with a newly acquired house to furnish, it will have to stay “love at first blog.”

One of the docs favorites of all time. Originally release in 96′, Jordan is re-releasing one of the most sought after and adored kicks of all time. November 27th, mark your calenders, and grab your chair, because if your lucky enough to have a store in your area getting them, there will be a wait.
[Music Friday] Darq Matter
Posted in Dallas, Music Fridays on Aug 28th, 2009
If you remember a few months back Darq Matter played at our first annual Luau party and killed it. Fresh off the mixer Jean Philippe-Bartier and Omar Hasan drop a Helloooooo.com [Music Friday] exclusive. When I caught up with Omar today he had this to say: “Let’s just say we were heavily inspired by Breakbot’s newest mix, ‘Funk For [...]
All Hail the Baron
Posted in Art, Design, Fashion, Food/Drinks, Nightlife, fun, paris on Aug 26th, 2009
In the corner of a small black box on the Avenue Marceau you will find a neon red top-hat.
At the oak-wood bar facing the red velvet walls you shall order yourself the cocktail infamously known as le Baron. In your ruby goblet you will find a bed of ice cubes covered with a smooth strawberry puree, [...]
Do yourselves a favor and take a look, and a listen to this talented young man, Mayer Hawthorne. His sound is sexy and soulful, and will take you back to the good-old-days of Motown. His style rocks a mix of 60’s retro and 80’s hip-hop. And his music isn’t far off from that either. Check [...]
I am proud to present two new members of the HELLOOOOOO team: Vanooski and Le Baron.
Vanooski is straight out of LA and works as a stylist alongside some of the biggest names in the industry…
… Le Baron currently lives in Paris and is getting his MBA at HEC Paris.
Sketch London // Eat, Music, Drink, Art
Posted in Design, Fashion, Food/Drinks, LA, Lifestyle, London, Nightlife, Photography, Travel on Aug 25th, 2009
Being in London for less than 24 hours last week made it difficult to find a place to both eat and chill at the same time. Eventually the team decided on hitting up Sketch in Mayfair. The decor was out-of-this-world weird. Think True Blood meets Star Trek. The toilets were in self contained domes, and the [...]
“Show Me Your Face”
Posted in Desperate, Stupid Shit, Travel, paris on Aug 25th, 2009
A friend who joined us on my recent Croatia trip received the following email from a Frenchman she met at a club one night but whom she never even gave her email address to. Below is word for word the e-mail she received yesterday…
Hi Juliette, it’s Romeo!
How are you? Did your holidays end up well?
Mine were fantastic, even though [...]
Got our first sticker edition printed early this week and can’t wait to get out and plaster the streets with Shok. The inspiration was (obviously) an eye chart, and our soon-to-be-announced collaboration with Ghostbar is represented as well. What do y’all think?
Had the pleasure of attending the Paul McCartney concert at the new Cowboys Stadium in Arlington last week. My buddy J provided the box seats, I provided the ladies. Fair trade, no? All I can say about Sir Paul is that the man is amazing…he went non-stop for almost 3 hours and 34 songs [...]
Croatia
Posted in Lifestyle, Nightlife, Photography, Travel on Aug 22nd, 2009

Sincerely, Janelle Monae
Posted in Music, Photography, Videos, vintage on Aug 19th, 2009
Janelle Monae, one of my favorite new musical discoveries, combines eclectic soulful r&b vocal chords with a bit of theatrical electronica and just a dash of an operatic tone. Aside from her funky sound she maintains an even funkier but simple style reminiscent of the 50’s. She is best known for wearing nothing but crisp [...]
Welcome to Los Angeles
Posted in LA, Nightlife, Stupid Shit, Travel on Aug 19th, 2009
After Sir Paul McCartney at Cowboys Stadium tonite, Gilberto will be flying home to LA tomorrow for a short weekend with the family and homeys. Got a few items on the agenda, including dinner at the newly re-opened BOA, scoping out the doc’s new pad (complete with housewarming gift), and Friday night I will finally [...]
Peaches Geldof, Snapped!
Posted in Photography, Travel on Aug 19th, 2009
Just got an email from Shok in Croatia with the following subject line: “helooo shok mate peaches pic from mayfair hotel its craig” Well, turns out Craig is one of the papparazzo that Shok made friends with in London and the chap was kind enough to send him a couple snaps of the ever-elusive Peaches [...]
What do you get when you add beer, breasts and cash prizes? A wild and crazy beer pong tournament, duh. This Saturday, August 22, a few friends are launching the inaugural WCBPT event at Lee Harvey’s in Dallas. There are 3 different brackets: Singles ($15), Doubles ($20) and Bikini (Free, naturally). Sign-ups close by noon [...]
Neon Indian, Reincarnated
Posted in Music, Philosophy, Polaroid on Aug 17th, 2009
As some of you know, I shot some creative press photos for mister Alan Palomo of ‘Neon Indian’. So far, some well known blogs such as thecoolhunter.net, gorillavsbear.net and bleachonlinedrop.com have used my photos for articles about Neon Indian as have some Danish and Polish magazines! I was so excited about the news that I just [...]
If you are down with Helloooooo then you are down with VEGA. Alan, Ronnie and Jason hit the West Coast this past weekend for a five-date concert series up the coast. To all my LA peoples, make sure you check ‘em out at The Arena in Hollywood on Tuesday night. Unfortunately Gilberto will be in [...]

Posted in Art, Dallas, Nightlife, Stupid Shit on Aug 17th, 2009
One bottle of White-Out. One Sharpie marker. Ton of laughs.
Recently, myself and wonderful lady friend Justine shot with Dawn Younger-Smith also know in the fashion world as “The Boudoir Queen“. Dawn’s husband, former Billy Idol guitarist Mark Younger-Smith showed off his photography skills and shot us in some of her fall pieces. Justine has been the face of BQ – frequently modeling for the [...]
Cool Design: Bubble Chandelier by Jean Pelle
Posted in Design, Home Furnishings on Aug 14th, 2009
So the doc recently bought a new house and he literally spends 24hrs a day scouring ebay, craigslist, and all his favorite design sites (www.apartmenttherapy.com, www.design-milk.com, etc) looking for shit for the new pad. Ran across this bubble chandelier today that I really dig — over the whole bubble glass lighting thing anyways. If anyone [...]
