IN-N-OUT-BURGER

1.24.2012

Today was a day for the history books. Why you ask? In-N-Out-Burger came to Sydney for a pop-up store at none other than Barrio Chino on Bayswater Road. You may think it might of felt weird eating a giant "Double Double Animal Double In-N-Out-Burger Burger" (Seriously that's what we ordered) in a Mexican restaurant, but you'd be wrong. Dead wrong. We felt right at home because lets face it, it mixed the two greatest loves of our lives. In-N-Out-Burgers and Tequila.

Before you get your panties in a knot over the fact you think In-N-Out-Burger are coming to Australia for good, let us deflate that bubble of excitement for you right now with a sledgehammer. They are not. Well not within the next year anyways (insert collective "sigh" right here)

Love to all you cool kids.

G O L D // R U S H

1.18.2012

So if we were in Gladiator, this is what we would fight in. Yep, you see correctly. Sequins and an axe. That's all a modern girl needs.

We lent some of our gold rush pieces to some seriously talented Melbourne kids. The gold dress was a one off we created just for shoots. The dress is so damn heavy you physically could not wear it out (let alone fight a battle in it). Laura Neumeister was behind the camera and the delightful Ramona Telecian kitted the girls up in her signature style which has the word 'boomtown!' written all over it. There are about 3 of the gold capes left - Milli In The Hood - AU$390 by Tighttigers. So if ye want one, come hither.

Love to all you cool kids.

So we were walking past our first Bondi stockist over the weekend, Carousel, and noticed they had plastered our name on their doors. Awwwww we feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Officially its the first time one of our stores has shoved our name on their doors. A Pretty darn cool way to kick off 2012. Yippee!

Love to all you cool kids.

IS // MIRANDA // KERR // STOOPID?

12.08.2011

Miranda Kerr's PR team is pissed. So is Victoria's Secret. Because apparently their big secret is out - wait for it - Miranda Kerr is stoopid (spelt that way on purpose for all you spelling-bee champs out there, and no, you cannot have it in a sentence please).

So what the hell happened you ask? Well, not only did 2 writers produce a scathing attack on the world's most organic yummy mummy in New York Magazine, but it's starting to spread like wildfire across fashion writers everywhere. Read the original NYMAG piece here.

Even our own Aussie writers are getting in on the action with The Vine's own Alyx Gorman conjuring up some words, although Alyx - being one of the best fashion writers in town - seems to effortlessly produce a piece that not only outshines the original attack, it also explains in depth everyone's motivation. She ends it with a hint of hope that everyone is wrong about Kerr and that our smokin' hot homegirl will eventually bring it home and prove to everyone she ain't so stoopid (just a little bit of a hypocrite, to prove she's human). We like your work Gorman. We like it a lot. Read it here.

If you can't be arsed reading either article I'll put it in a nutshell for you. Or an organic pistachio shell, if you will. Basically everyone is calling Miranda stupid. Forest Gump stoopid. Stoopid-is-as-stoopid-does kinda stoopid. They are saying that through her organic, hippy-themed life, one-liners such as “Because a rose can never be a sunflower, and a sunflower can never be a rose” are as deep as her thoughts can go. * On a sidenote we'd like to put forward to Miranda that we would like to be not a sunflower nor a rose, but a tulip. In our non-organic (tequila based) world, tulips can morph into roses AND sunflowers. Then they can eat all their seedling babies, becoming a super-tulip that can blow up shit and go Kerr-bloooey!!!!!

Ahem … where was I...

In all honestly, we like Miranda Kerr. Hell we LOVE Miranda Kerr. No, we have not met her. But we'd like to.

We imagine sitting on her bed brushing each other's hair. We would fall asleep, then wake to see her get up at 5am to complete her 4-hour yoga set followed by some organic skin brushing dance moves which, like, totally makes her feel wholesome and shit. We then assume that Miranda follows it up by chanting some positive words about herself into a bowl of organically distilled water, which vibrates her emotions to the surface and turns them into actions, thus saving the entire planet.

Okay, okay not the entire planet ... maybe just a slew of ugly duckling teenagers.

You know what? We're proud of the girl. Sure, she's not solving world peace but she's never claimed anything of the sort. She knows she's hot. She knows girls want to be her and she knows girls will listen to her. So of course she's going to throw out healthy vibes and healthy feel-good comments, even if they are blatantly lame and stupid and almost painful to hear. What would these guys prefer she say to them and the young girls of the world? "You're all a bunch of chavs and none of you will ever look or feel as good as me, Miranda F***king Kerr?"

Actually, we'd pay good money to hear her say that.

I know the articles that attack Miranda focus on her real personality and what she is really like, but in all honestly who cares? The majority of us will never meet this seemingly perfect girl and get to know what she is really like. To most of us, she will forever stay this perfect lotus flower. That is the way people want it. And that's okay.

So stop tearing the girl down, because our bet is that she can and will put up a fight. So will the behemoth that is Victoria Secret. Imagine, Miranda Kerr and all the VS girls throwing underwear at the world screaming "stooopppp callinnggg usss stttoooppiiiddd."

We'd pay good money to see that too.

Peace + love to all you cool kids.

TT M A G : I S S U E # 3

10.25.2011

Allo' poppet what do we have here then? Yes these are SHORTS ladies and gentlemen. They may LOOK like underwear but they are indeed our version of shorts. Short-shorts to be correct. It comes from the Latin phrase "annus mirabilis adus short shortus" meaning "having little length; not long; your dad will disown you if you wear these" (we have GOT to stop making shit up). These shorts are so damn short that even if you ARE short your pins will look longer than Gisele Bunchen's. Actually no-one can beat those Brazilian sets of pins - Then again our TT models sure do give her a run for her god damn money. All $750 million of it. Rahhhhhhhhhhhh!

To get your ass into a pair of these bad ass babys hop onto http://shop.tighttigers.com/

Peace + love to all you cool kids.

TT M A G : I S S U E # 2

10.12.2011

Well look what the cat dragged in....or tiger...whatever. So we said we would do a new TTMAG whenever we can be bothered. It appears as though our procrastination skills need some serious work as we are waaaaaaay too productive for a Monday morning. This is what happens when you stay in bed all weekend away from tequila and boys. Dad would be proud. Anyways back to the hoodies. They are rad. We wear them everywhere. The only downer is that when you wear the sequin hoodies, people (and by people I mean mainly girls), keep petting you like your a god damn Chihuahua. Then you get the one slightly loose chick at around the 2am mark who screams "Oh my god are those sequins like real gold?" - Yeah dickhead - SOLID gold - Now get your peasant hands off me before my guards are off with your head.

To buy one of these gold plated hoodies please hop onto http://shop.tighttigers.com/

Peace + love to all you cool kids.

TT S H O P : L A U N C H. P A R T Y

10.07.2011

We celebrated the opening of our online store the other night at our Sydney retail home Capital L. Rekorderlig were game enough to be our sponsor. A wise choice we think. We look forward to spending our summers with team Rekorderlig sipping away on pear ciders. Yeowww! Anyways whilst the crowd chin-chinged their bottles together they also got to pet the new threads and run around in some of the new capes we've just released. Cool kids such as Rai Thistlethwayte (frontman for Thirsty Merc) swung in for some fun. All in all it was a cool couple of hours as per usual on the TT front. Afterwards we piled into Barrio Chino on Bayswater road, our favourite tequila bar in the universe. We also downed some killer tacos , the prawn ones will give you the time of your life - FACT - And the reason we know it's a fact is because we read it in our fact book. They also have a salsa program. Yeah you heard us correctly. A salsa program. It sounds like a freakin' workout with Richard Simmons. So what we figured out is you do about 7 reps of the green salsa before you work your way up to the super hot salsa. The green salsa is still the best though. We'd spread that shit on our toast in the mornings if we could. Vegemite whaaaaaaa?????

We will not go on further about what happened here that night as I'm pretty sure A) We'll get arrested or B) We'll get shipped to boarding school....Sigh.
