District L

Jules Kim of Bijules launched her style-centric film Amasia with an event at the Tribeca Grand Hotel yesterday evening. Showcasing a "fish scale" three-piece ring, the cinematic project revolves around environmental movement, the power of water, and the beauty in nature's power. Juxtaposing natural footage with special effects, the film uses shots taken during Kim's latest trip to Iceland.

The vivacious designer told District L about the initial moments of her project: "I warned [Diane Pernot], 'Are you sure you want me to be part of this? I'm gonna fuck your shit up.'" Kim, who is known for her tongue-in-cheek humor and irreverent creativity, repeatedly praises the collaborative aspect of the film. “I watched the finished product for the first time on my floor with my laptop -- and I was immediately brought tears," admitted the designer.

In the world of District L, there could be no moar perfect form of government than the Robo-Glitterati Totalitarian Technocracy. Just imagine it! All night rooftop dance parties on levitating glass and steel high-rise hotels, sexy robot ladies spraying you in the face with vodka from their robo-tits, Karl Lagerfeld blasting holes in the ozone with his laser eyes, and Anna Dello Russo flicking the lights on and off while Busy P spins "Call On Me" on a loop. That's how government works, right?

So now speaking of imagining, imagine the soul-crushing disappointment we suffered this morning when we discovered that a very different Robo-Glitterati Totalitarian Technocracy was being ushered in, by none other than THE FACEBOX.

According to techCrunch, Facebook will be hosting an event this coming Monday featuring the unveiling of their top-secret Project Titan initiative - referred to internally as the "G-mail killer". Meaning, basically, that Facebook will soon be launching it's own answer to Gmail that will tie directly into the social networking giant's existing evil, soul-sapping, privacy-obliterating Orwellian techn0logiez. So hide your kids, hide your wife, and get ready to sit down to dinner with a Facebook Telescreen watching your every movement!! YOUR CRIMETHINKING DAYS ARE NUMBERED.

The Robo-Glitterati Totalitarian Technocracy, it would appear, is starting to look less like that sexy titanium Vargas girl and more like this.

We have it on good authority that the above statement is true.

So this is how committed we are to you, dear readers. I have my trench buckled and ready to go, Amanda is literally about to open the front door, we are like SO READY to head out for another fabulous Saturday night yet we are STILL BLOGGING. You can thank us later, we're RL busy.

EFFEN was kind enough to send us a bottle of their stupid awesome vodka, which inspired us to whip up a few EFFEN concoctions of our own this evening. Below is our favorite, inspired by this unseasonably warm weather we've been hit with - light, bouncy, and vivacious, this one is a great way to salute these last vestige of summer.

District L's Indian EFFEN Summer -

-1 part EFFEN Vodka (Original)

-1 part prosecco

-1 squeeze lemon juice

-A few sprigs of mint

-Thinly sliced cucumber

- A lil' bit of crushed ice

In a white wine glass, lightly mash some mint with crushed ice. Add EFFEN Vodka followed by prosecco, stir lightly and squeeze a sneeze of lemon juice into the mix. Garnish with a slice or two of cucumber.

Summer is drifting away, but putting up a great fight; don't let F/W tell S/S what to do - think about how you would feel. So swizzle up one of these bad boys and let's keep summer alive a little bit longer, shall we?
