Pete Wentz’s AK-47, Already A Homing Device for Fangirls
Today I walked by the now-open Angels and Kings (aka — AK-47, aka — Pete Wentz’s new bar) and I was shocked (?) to actually see a herd of young female girls camped outside, sitting on the stoop in front of the bar decked out in fake BAPE hoodies and studded belts. The weird thing really was the presence of HUGEnormous black-suit bouncers and the presence of a red velvet rope. Whatever happened to it just being a place for all the freaks and geeks? Oh well, I’ll have to check it out later on in the week.
Pete Wentz Is One of People’s Most Beautiful
You have to watch this video of Petey talking about GUY-LINER for about 2 and a half minutes straight. How to apply it, why he started wearing it (”I thought it tested some boundaries.”), etc. It’s mindnumbing.
Essential Guide to All Things Emo, Everybody Hurts, Now Out!
Do you like eyeliner, feeling sad, looking at your feet, wearing hoodies, and Manic Panic? Do you adore AAR, FOB, TAI…, GCH, P!@TD, or AFI? Do you have any idea what any of those abbreviations mean? If so, you HAVE to check out Leslie Simon (managing editor of Alternative Press) and Trevor Kelley’s new book, Everybody Hurts, a light-humored take on the emo culture.
I had a chance to read it a few months ago and it is HIL-arious! There’s this one illustration of Pete Wentz wearing a Clandestine Industries sweatshirt, giving the diamond sign. That alone is worth the $12-14 sticker price. Trust me, you will loves.
Oh! And if you be in NYC on May 3rd, stop by the Everybody Hurts party at the Annex. Justin Pierre from Motion City Soundtrack, Kenny Vasoli from the Starting Line, and Zolof The Rock ‘N’ Roll Destroyer are all playing.
Pete Wentz Opens New Bar Angels & Kings in NYC. Stolen Transmission Takes Over on Fridays
Pete Wentz has ventured into the bar business, by launching his very own watering hole, called Angles & Kings (or AK-47 for short), on 11th Street near Avenue A in New York City’s East Village. He wants to make his new emo-lush magnet into a place where he and his misfit music buddies can hang out without worrying about velvet ropes or Clandestine-clad mall girls. Says Wentz to New York magazine, “This is a bar for all the rejects.”
The establishment is scheduled to open next week around April 30th, and starting on May 4th, nightlife party starters Tarts of Pleasure will be hosting their popular Stolen Transmission night for free every Friday evening.
To get a sneak peek at the space, check out the photo of The Academy Is… manning the bar in New York mag.
Oh, and that’s my photo of Travis kissing William on the flyer! You won’t believe what I had to go through in order to get it:
Oh Noooos! Mikey Way Takes a Break from My Chem
Happy but sad news on the My Chem front today. The good news is that Mikey Way is now a happily married man. The bad news is none of you ladies have a chance at him now AND he’s taking a break from touring with My Chemical Romance in order to spend some quality time (QT) with his lady love.
No word on who will be filling Mikey’s spot in the meantime.
Take a Look: Pete Wentz for DKNY Jeans
Um, I couldn’t get past the first picture with the GINORMOUS illustration of Pete Wentz in the background, so I have no idea what the rest of this Fashionista post says about Pete Wentz’s new collection for DKNY. Ok ok… I did manage to stop ROTFL enough to see that Hemingway is featured on a tshirt.
Hey, at least it’s a step up from Clandestine. Dare I say some of it looks rather cute?
Back to your regularly scheduled LOLing.
Not enough? Read more about the line.
Pete Wentz Dancing to The Rapture In a Space Suit with Glow Sticks
Eric at Grow Interactive sent over the most enjoyable thing I’ve seen in a while: PaloozaHead. It was launched to coincide with today’s announcement of the 2007 Lollapalooza lineup. You can logon and upload your OWN head and dance to a selection of music by some of the confirm acts playing the fest. Believe you me, the results are pretty hilarious. Check out my PaloozaHead of Pete Wentz dancing up a rave storm:
Released It As a Word Document and the Emo Prairie Dog
My friend Uncle Grambo sent me this link to a pretty amusing video from the Australian comedy show, The Ronnie Johns Half Hour show where two jaded emo-looking music fans discuss their favorite bands. Wait until the very end of the video where you will witness the “Emo Prairie Dog”. “Little hands, stupid hair, little hands, cutting myself.” Hilarious.
Brendon Urie = Brandon Flowers?
Sorry I’ve been lagging on the updates but my free time is down to zilch lately.
Here are some interesting photos of Brendon Urie looking a helluva lot like Brandon Flowers with his skinny blazer, skinny tie, and big ol’ dork glasses (Thanks to Rebecca):
