Styleslut, sometimes known as Europe's "fifth most popular" blogging misfits, otherwise known as the masterminds behind some of Londons dopest parties. Either way, we witnessed their return last month with the launch of their new club night 'spray', and needless to say they are back again this sunday, fully loaded with fried chicken and booty popping. Earlier on this week we caught up with styleslut editor Donald Crunk to talk parties, chicken cottage & desperate housewives...
Yo Styleslut, what’s up?
We’re good. We’re just watching re-runs of Desperate Housewives at the mo. Those girls are a hoot.
Now for anyone that’s been outta the loop for the past few years, tells us a bit about Styleslut…
Styleslut is voice of love, hate and everything in-between. You know that guy that keeps getting bullied at work for having a weird haircut; the fat girl that can't stop eating doughnuts or the guy who’s frustrated because he can’t get a hard on around his chick? We speak for them and all the underdogs all over the world. Not to sound all hip-hop circa '92, or anything, but we definitely ‘keeps it real'.
You disappeared for a while, and coincidently London suffered a club night drought. Alas, you’re back with some killer names in your line-ups so far, such as Tinchy stryder and Rye Rye. How does it feel to be back & how are you gonna switch up the London scene?
It feels fucking great to be back. We love seeing people having fun at our parties. . We want to bring that missing element of fun back to the club scene. Yeah, it’s all good to spend 3 hours getting dressed to go out, but why go to a club to stare at what everyone else is wearing? No matter what our line-up is, our focus is on fun.
If you could name one artist (past or present) that you would like to perform at one of your club nights, who would it be and why?
Rihanna. Whenever we hear ‘Umbrella’, we go weak at the knees. She’s got a killer haircut, too.
What can we expect from your upcoming club night ‘2008 suckerfree dance-off and cook-out’?
Some of the best and worst dancing that you’ll ever see in your life, hotties giving out free chicken and absolutely no ‘suckers’ aka doofuses. Oh and we think Rye Rye may be judging a dance-off between the party-goers. We’re bringing Bring It On to Shoreditch.
Does Styleslut have any other projects in the pipeline?
A Jewellry collection with NY brand IHMJ (I Hate My Day Job), the Styleslut clothing line, a collaboration collection with Trapstar (www.iamatrapstar.com), more parties and a revamped website.
Lastly in light of your collaboration with Dante fried chicken, KFC or Chicken Cottage?
KFC. The last time we went to Chicken Cottage, we had the runs for like a week.
Be sure to check out the '2008 suckerfree dance-off & cook out' this sunday at east village. For more info visit the styleslut site (click here)
