Supanova Review
Supanova was awesome, it was our first stall and we had tremendous success with over 12,000+ people visiting,we certainly were kept busy throughout the weekend.
Our stall stocked our signature range of hair falls and brand new products such as goggles and gas masks which we sold out of very quickly and will have more new ones soon and also sold some lolita hats from Wednesday’s Hats, some...

Underground raving for real
I have seen many people talking about keeping raving underground in Perth, if you raved 5 years ago, you would know that is a load of bullshit. This picture is the location of one of Perth’s most (in)famous underground raves illegally held in North Perth. You may look at the picture and see an empty space of land here.
This is because after the rave was shut down, the promoter...

Why Dubstep-tards, need to STFU
It seems that dubstep is the next big thing in the electronic music genre these days. It’s slow, deep, slithering, wobbling basslines have proved to be the latest craze loved by many. For some, this love is well founded, for others, we have seen the rise of the dubstep-tard who’s retarded love knows no bounds.
We all have our likes and we all have our right to say what we like and...

Bit of an old story but this goes to show the story once again about the importance of reading contracts, while I’m sure some of you may have been a bit surprised at my earlier posts about alt models not rolling around in massive amounts of money. The...

Best rant from last month - Fake Bisexuality
This rant was from my girlfriend about the plague of every single girl claiming to be ‘bisexual’ these days.
OH. MY. FUCKING. GOD. Is /everybody/ fucking bi these days? Go to a goth chicks page. No surprise, shes bi. Now, I am all for exploring your sexuality. And far be it from me to judge if you are actually bi (theres isn’t a Bi Fairy, xP). But. If you are a girl, kissing a...

Name Change
We’ve decided to change the name of our Tumblr from Hairlucination to Hybrid Nation. My project of creating an alternative blog for the people of Perth, Australia and the world is going well and I’m thankful for everyone who has followed and supported me so far.
The reasons for changing the blog are:
1. The new name ‘hybrid nation’ refers to a collection of multiple...

Outbreed
A 24 hour event with LAN combined with roleplaying, at the opposite end of the room was a rave and a goth club?! Never thought it would happen? This is the story of a time when events like this were the norm.
In 2003 Outbreed was probably one of the most controversial and strangest promoters to have ever hit the Perth alternative scene by creating cross culture events. The first event...

Meeting Sisen
By far easily my favourite alt model by a long shot has to be Sisen. First of all, I’m going by my own personal opinion rather then anything technical here!
Anyways for those who are unaware, Sisen is a male J-Cyber model from Japan. He’s more then just a model and is actually more famous for his DJing and his Tokyo Decadence events which bring a vibrant unique, Japanese...

Some advice.......
I think, one of the hugest problems that many people seem to have is not knowing what they want to do in life, yet people are able to think of suggestions. I hear all too often people say they want to do a fashion design course, I want to study a business course and so on, yet don’t know if it’s the right choice.
Seriously, just go ahead and do it, there are some people where they do...

Some of the realities behind alt modelling
It’s interesting to see how many people have this amazing dream of becoming a Suicide Girl but know absolutely nothing about the process. This isn’t supposed to talk people out of the dream or goal or claim Suicide Girls is unfair on models but I think a fair few people have no clue about the realities of the whole deal.
Don’t give up your day job
First of all,...

Lady Gaga
While we generally try to keep our focus here on the alternative and underground scene, with Lady Gaga’s recent visit to the country it’s been hard to ignore her presence over the past few weeks, the contraversial pop star has proven to be popular with everyone, it’s hard to pick a Lady Gaga fans, those who hate pop music with a passion seem to love Lady Gaga.
She’s...

Why Australia is not Harajuku
Someone had a chat to me recently and claimed that Harajuku is overhyped. He admitted to me that their fashion is better but at the end of the day, it’s just the equivilent of Centrals in Perth or Flinders in Melbourne and is only looked up to thanks to the popularity of anime and Gwen Stefani’s love for Harajuku.
I can definitely see where he is coming from, however there are huge...
