Gay Paris

The information superhighway is abundant with visual delights; one such example is the rather elegant short film featured below. Starring none other than Landscape Skateboards' professional Frenchman Monsieur Soy Panday as he spends what looks like a rather splendid day out amid the sights and sounds of the French capital.



Vive la difference, as they say.

Epicly Later'd

Following the previous entry, we would like to bring your attention to this piece of work for the composition 'Comfy In Nautica' on behalf of the entirely unique Panda Bear by Mr Patrick O'Dell.



It would seem that Mr O'Dell has been broadening his horizons recently, as he is also responsible for the latest promotional short for Mr Steven Patrick Morrissey ; however, it would be ungentlemanly to hold that against him.

California Dreaming



A pleasant distraction has been provided this morning by the rather lovely new promotional short for 'Caravan Girl' by Goldfrapp.

This correspondent has yet to ascertain who directed the film*, but we are secretly hoping that it is the final part of a trilogy of videos for Miss Goldfrapp by a talented young gentleman by the name of Dougal Wilson , who has produced some very fine work over recent years.

*It has since come to light that this piece has been directed by top lifestyle documentarians The Malloys.

Prompted by this, it also seems a reasonable time to show this beautiful piece by Californian genius Mr Mike Mills.



This correspondent is a highly enthusiastic supporter of Mr Mills and his work. If you are unaware of his abilities, we humbly suggest that you do some research.

Be Like Mike



We at the Herald Lifestyle Clique strongly advise one and all to take a look at the Blueprint website as the kind gentlemen in charge have decided to run a small competition featuring Mr Michael Wright, esq. of Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire.

Mr Wright is a stalwart of the Herald Lifestyle Clique, a jolly decent chap to boot and can be seen performing feats of derring-do in the short film accompanying the competition. Additionally, included in the prizes of the aforementioned contest is a much-coveted Herald t-shirt, this season's must-have garment for the lifestyling young gentleman about town.

We would like to take this opportunity to apologise to Mr Wright for the image accompanying this post; at the time of writing it is late, and it was simply the easiest option.

Karma Exists in Everything

A brief trawl through the wonders of YouTube can reveal this short piece of promotional work by Mr Jason Lee on behalf of purveyors of formerly respectable skateboard footwear, Airwalk.

Dating back to 1995, this somewhat surreal 16mm short makes this particular Herald correspondent misty-eyed for the rather marvellous Jason Lee Signature Shoe.

Sigh.
