grey & black faux fur sweater / Human Potential
black shirt / tailor made from Vietnam
black jeans / Topman
black boots / Aldo
studded black gloves / handmade

Another HUGE thanks to Rebekah and the team at Human Potential in Korea for sending over this Invader Gorilla sweater to me.  It's the softest, warmest thing I own and is perfect for walking around London in the evenings doing a little Christmas browsing.  I wore it to a photo shoot for 1883 Magazine at a chilly studio a few weeks ago and the other assistant Lindsay couldn't keep her hands off me, she said I was like a giant teddy bear.  If you want to pick one up and you aren't in Korea, check out HUPOT's selection on Notjustalabel.com.

These are a pair of studded skeleton like gloves that I made myself.  I sold many a pair in South Korean at the Bling/Platoon Night Flea Market that I used to attend every month. I'm waiting for some orders to come in but soon I'll start selling them on our Burger & Fries boutique as well.  Until then, check out a couple of the simpler pairs that I made below:

chadchad of the day 4.1

green & blue check shirt / Sparks
cutoff shorts / reformed vintage Levi's
hamburger necklace / handmade
leather slippers / from India


Welcome to our humble flat. I didn't get a chance to take a shot in my new oversized Sparks shirt before the sun started setting so I thought I'd take today's outfit of the day shot in my London diggs to give you an idea of where I'm living. I picked up the oversized shirt yesterday at a select shop called 'Behave' near Brick Lane in East London - they were having a sale and it was only 20 pounds so I bought a 10 pound pair of plaid Cheap Monday swimming trunks as well.  Holla.


I wore it with my tiny gold hamburger necklace (thanks B!) and a pair of vintage Levi's that I cut off into shorts then dipped halfway in bleach to give a gradient sort of look. The leather house slippers are from Jaisalmer, India aka the Golden City. A 12 year old boy and his father owned a shop there filled entirely of goods handcrafted from camel leather. I bought these, a satchel and two foot stools for really cheap when I was there in 2006 to go on a camel safari with a few friends. I wear the slippers at home every day.


Oh ps. that lump of grey fluff I'm holding is Terrence, our roommates cat. Nothing but swagger that boy.


Here are a few shots of some of mine & Burger's jewelry and some of my favorite things from around the flat.  You can notice some of Burger's brilliant hat creations hidden all over the house.

burger kim of the day 0.8

black shirt / H&M
black shorts / cutoff Dr. Denim
black boots / Dr. Martens
toy pony hat / handmade
neck cuff thing / vintage
horse hair sporran / vintage


As you can see, the outfit Burger wore to Boy George's 50th birthday bash was effing perfection. He made a similar hat with a Barbie head & oversized doll arms last year and had been saving these two toy pony's for a special occasion. I guess Boy George's 50th is special enough, no?


The rear shot of the hat gives you the full effect of the wig which was attached to the upper back of the hat using nails. He sawed the two pony's in half and attached them to either side using a drill, then added gold chain for more detail. Quite heavy but a complete work of art.


This hairy belt thing is called a sporran and is traditionally worn over a Scottish kilt. It complements the blonde pony hair & wig perfectly and is also a great place to store your wallet & keys.
