With so much great material available online these days, I often wonder why people still buy fashion magazines. Okay, yes, I am a complete hypocrite for saying that, as I am as much a sucker for those bound glossy pages as the next person. But then I think about my eco-footprint and I'm trying to stop - promise!
Like a nicotine patch to those quitting smoking, STYLE BUBBLE has been a great aid in this quest. This uber-chic blog from British stunner Susie B delivers us a daily fix of the hottest and latest fashion shoots and looks. Miss Susie is also the editor of DAZED DIGITAL at DAZED & CONFUSED - so if that doesn't win her some extra cool points, I don't know what does.
Still, we're not saying there's no place for the treat of your newsagent glossy. As much as Photoshop works wonders these days, there's still nothing like the real life cut-n-paste fun of a fashion scrapbook or homemade birthday card, all crunchy with glue and the overzealous application of sequins. Besides, where else are you going to find that pic of your fave it-girl to tear out and hang above your bed? Don't tell me you'll print one, cos I know that you're lying - have you really met someone who's ever had ink?

TwoThousand is a subcultural guide to Sydney, published daily and fired by email weekly. It is compiled by an amorphous gaggle of Sydney writers, stylists, designers and photographers who all like huddling under that big umbrella we like to call creativity. Without editorial independence TwoThousand has nothing. All editorial you read is featured because it's worth it - not because it's paid for.
