EDITOR’S LETTER

I know a lot of you don’t remember a time without Internet, but I do. I was about 13 or so when the online service Prodigy first started making the rounds, and then America Online. AOL would mail these CD-ROMs that’d advertise 12 million free hours of dial-up Internet, and I’d easily blow through it in a couple weeks, chatting with “friends” in the Skateboarding room (a/s/l?), plagiarizing Alta Vista searches for school reports, and digging the web for naked celebrities.

I could say that life was better before the Internet. Maybe everything meant more, and things took their time. Well, people took their time. And there was real value in the stuff we loved most; the appreciation could last a lifetime.

There was also a true underground in music and fashion and art. If somebody stood for something, you knew they really lived it. You couldn’t just subscribe to it or know everything about it by reading a Wiki.

But Life 1.0 also sucked. There was a pervasive ignorance and lack of information pre-WWW. There were C

socially constructed hierarchies and socioeconomic barriers that didn’t make any sense. The Internet broke down those walls. The Internet made way for people to realize previously impossible dreams. It was like the Gold Rush and the invention of the printing press and the momentum of Rock & Roll all in one. There was money to be had, voices to be heard, stereotypes to be broken, culture and ideologies to be shifted. The Internet made way for people like us. The Internet made way for ideas like The Hundreds.

TRAVIS MILLARD wo r d s by C h e l s e a G r e e n / p h o t o s by b o bby h U n d r e d s

In the dusty shelter of a backwoods cabin, tucked somewhere within the hills of Los Angeles, lives Travis Millard. Bukowski used to live in another fort on the same lot. So did Hemingway. So did Steely Dan. Needless to say, Millard’s marinating in the land’s inspirational vibe as he draws cartoons for a living, something he enjoys because as he states, it makes him feel free. It’s early on a Monday morning and Millard settles at the picnic table on the deck, with a fresh coffee, an ashtray and a cigarette in tow. He’s a slight guy with a disheveled façade and

weed and not trying very hard. he used to be a college professor, and then went to teach high school, so he kind of played college mind games.

we fought like crazy, and then were out of touch for years. Me and another

friend of mine decided to track him down, found him, and went out to lunch with him. he takes road trips so I said, “If you’re ever in California just look

us up—it’d be really fun to see you.” a couple of months later he calls me

up and he’s like, “hey, do you have a couch I can crash on?” It was really fun, but it was totally weird having your 72-year old art teacher show up.

ten switches.” Michael made the introduction to Foundation and said they had a position for an art director open. so I was like, “dude, I’ll totally do it.” I had no idea what it meant to be an art director so I faked it. I think they realized, “this guy had no idea how to be an art director for a skate company.” but then they’re like, “oh well, let’s just start making boards.” so, I started doing a lot of work with them.

It’s all that stuff. It’s just sort of everything. Growing up, I collected the shit out of Garbage pail Kids, old heavy metal covers, and Mad Magazine—I was really into ‘70s era Mad Magazine. and yeah, all that stuff that I didn’t know where it came from, and who’s making it, but I would totally eat it up. I’m just a fan of all that grimy stuff. What are you working on with The Hundreds? What’s the story behind it? well, they’ve just been really open with it. It’s always tough when you start off with a project and they’re like, “do whatever you want.” It’s good but it’s almost too much freedom, you don’t always know what you want to do with it sometimes. I went through a series of drawings that I’ve been swirling around, and I just put together a variety of different things to show ben and Bobby. I draw some guys that are fighting each other, sort of tearing each other’s faces off—real brutal fight scenes—xbut they’re soft and squishy and funny all at the same time. I think that hand-to-hand fighting is often pretty funny and awkward, like when it’s just two people that don’t really know how to fight all that well.

And you’ve also done a lot of album covers and band art. How did that all happen? Are you friends with the people that you work with? I grew up in olathe, Kansas with the Get Up Kids. we went to the same high school, I played in bands, and they would come out to see my shitty band. they eventually started the Get Up Kids and asked me if I would do a 7”. then they asked if I would do the cover for their full length, “something to write home about.” I just had a week to do this drawing. I still wasn’t comfortable just drawing, running pen and ink, and watercolor wash stuff I use these days so I did this big painting, and didn’t know what it meant to scan a piece for print. I ended up blowing it dry on the way to FedEx and stuffing it in this big box and sending it to santa Monica. It was really amateur. eventually I started to become more comfortable with drawing. I found that I was just way more engaged with a pen and paper, and I started to refine that more and more. I still mess around with different materials, but for the most part it all comes down to drawing, you know?

Even when it’s serious, it’s pretty funny and awkward. It’s pretty funny! Bob asked if I would be into drawing him and Ben fighting each other, so I did a drawing of those guys squishing each other’s faces and choking each other out. one of them was an installation that they have in front of the l.a. store. I also drew a little van; I’m sort of a fan of vans. Growing up my dad was a wrangler jeans salesman, and we always had conversion vans. he would hollow the back out and drill metal bars in the ceiling, and would stack jeans and shirts and drive them to mom and pop

Yeah. So, I saw that Dinosaur Jr. cover, too. That looked really awesome. thanks! I read somewhere that you kept getting fired, or that you kept getting asked to leave your jobs because you were just drawing all the time? yes. I did. I did, man. I would just draw. I had so many weird, odd jobs and it would always end up like you go just do your work for a while. and I would go sneak off to some other room and it was just automatic, I wouldn’t even try. I wouldn’t even think that I’m blowing time off. I’d just be like, “I’m fucking drawing.” I wouldn’t even set out to draw. It would just be like a pen would be in my hand suddenly, whatever paper I could scratch up... What are some of your inspirations? I see a little Garbage Pail Kids, and I kind of see some Robert Crumb.

shops around Missouri. I would go on trips with him sometimes, and go visit these country shops. he would just pull out a rack, shove a bunch of clothes onto it, wheel it through the parking lot into the mom and pop shop, and they would place their orders. I would just listen to my rap tape on my walkman and draw.

This magazine issue is themed, “The Internet Issue.” So, I’m wondering what the Internet has done for artists, or maybe your art in particular. Has it helped or hurt? It’s opened up the whole world, in a way. I started out just getting my work in front of people, making zines. I would do little drawings in my sketchbook and make these little comics. other than being able to show somebody, or somebody looking over your shoulder and just asking what it was, there wasn’t a means for me to get my work in front of a wide group of people. What about Fudge Factory Comics? Is that kind of like an offshoot of your zines? yeah. I was doing a series of really oddball comics for the weekly paper around town, and they would always have different names. Fudge Factory was one, and my friend was trying to get me to do a website and I just didn’t want it to be my name. I liked the idea of Fudge Factory because it sounded fun and like there was a factory of stuff going on, even though there wasn’t at all. so I did a search and the results were all porn and candy. I plugged “comics” in there, and I figured it fit somewhere in between. It was really a quick decision, and I didn’t think I’d be hanging around with that title for so long. I’ve thought about ditching it a few times but then I figure, “Why not?” I mean, why would I ditch it? It’s an umbrella that a lot different things can fall under, and so when I make a zine I’ll just put my website on it, and have it all fall in there. but, it’s not all comics. I do some traditional comics, but not like real hardcore comic guys that I like to meander around, doing a lot of other weird stuff. But I figure it fits in somewhere with comics in the broader sense.

I have some plans. there’s some things that I’ve been just like kind of lingering that I want to get done. I’ve been working on a lot of animation projects that have been really slow going just because animation is a really slow process. I’d like to see those complete at one point. I have another weird drawing program that I’ve been working on with a couple of my friends that I’d like to see happen... sort of like a bob ross drawing show type thing. also, I have a couple book projects that I’ve been lingering that I want to find the time to try and finish. Sounds exciting! Well, The Hundreds’ collaboration will be coming out! oh yeah! the hundreds! I got this really big thing going on with the hundreds! I’m looking forward to that.

Right. So what do you have going on next year? Have you thought about 2013 or anything like that? Or any big projects?

CLOT wo r d s by b o bby H U N d r E d s / p H o t o s C o U rt E sy o F C L o t

7 years ago (In fact, if you scroll back to the earliest archived blogs on our website, you’ll see the exact moment), I met Kevin Poon at a hip, loungey restaurant bar in central Hong Kong. Since then, he’s become family, one of my closest friends in our shared industry. Kevin Poon is co-founder of CLOT, a Hong Kong-based elite Streetwear label creatively directed by internationally-renowned actor and musician Edison Chen. Over the years, CLOT has gone from cult brand favorite, to spearheading the Chinese Streetwear movement, to spreading the gospel of Far Eastern street fashion to the rest of the world. To commemorate our friendship and also The Hundreds’ tenth year, we’re currently in the process of collaborating with CLOT on something big. And to prepare you for the project, we wanted to introduce you to the man behind one of our favorite brands in the world: What is CLOT? What was/is the purpose behind it? When we first started CLOT, it was our escape from finding a real day job.

40

40-43 Collaboration – CLOT.indd 2

At the time, people in the street culture world were overlooking Hong Kong and we felt a sense of disconnect. Our goal was to bridge this gap between the East and the West to show the youth in Hong Kong that they shouldn’t be afraid to do what they want to do and step outside the box. What attracted you and Edison to Streetwear? I can’t speak for Edison but for me it was a mixture of music and basketball. People wanted to wear the freshest gear on the court, whether it was Jordans or the latest Nikes. I then started buying a lot of Japanese fashion magazines, which in turn put me onto Japanese exclusives and special releases. During that era, not many people were into street culture in Hong Kong. It was a tightknit group of like-minded individuals and we were part of a movement. I felt a sense of belonging, like an extended family. Relationships. More than any other brand, I feel like you guys have bridged the gap between so many isolated circles; you’re virtually friends with everyone. Do you think that’s a large component of your success?

I wouldn’t say we are successful. We are still striving everyday. However, along the way we have met a lot of good people. We’ve formed a lot of great relationships with creative individuals. Let’s just say that having a large network of close friends and relationships with creative minds helps us get things done much easier. I feel blessed to have all these friends. When I think of CLOT, I can’t really pigeonhole the brand aesthetic against anyone else’s style. It seems truly unique and individual to CLOT. What is the CLOT style or “look”? Where is the design inspiration drawn from? Our style changes all the time. The aesthetic of the brand depends on our style and mindset at that present moment. It’s hard for people to track it down and we enjoy being unpredictable. We may have lost a few fans along the way but we are having fun with what we’re doing. At the root of it, I think our inspiration has a lot to do with Chinese culture. We are proud to be Chinese and want to infuse elements of our culture into the mix. Also Edison, the Creative Director, travels a lot and draws inspiration from places all over the world. Part of our style comes from what he thinks is cool at the time and his aesthetics.

I think that maybe Hong Kong and China have the potential to be the next frontier for global streetwear and street culture because it is an “unexplored” territory in terms of urban culture. In countries like Japan and America, there are so many establishments already that it just feels oversaturated. There is definitely opportunity to grow for streetwear enthusiasts in China and a lot of room for new streetwear brands to emerge. As long as it is done right, I think that China may have a chance of being the next frontier for streetwear.

For the vast majority of the Chinese youth, Streetwear is perceived much differently than how an American or Japanese kid sees it. What is the Chinese customer’s understanding and perspective of Streetwear? I think the Chinese customer’s understanding of street is more influenced by pop culture and based on what celebrities are wearing. Streetwear is still at its infancy stage in Greater China. With that being said, I think that people who are into streetwear out in China are beginning to understand it more and are digging deeper. There is a good scene out here in Hong Kong and China, so for those who haven’t been out here I would suggest you come for a visit. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I feel like Hong Kong and China are the next frontier for global Streetwear and Street culture... in many ways, I feel like it’s taken cues from Japan, which followed America’s lead and exploded forward. Would you agree? If so, how is China paving the way for the new generation?

Both you and Edison have lived in the States and Hong Kong. What are the biggest differences between the two - from the landscape to the food, to the people and culture? Are there more similarities between the people of both countries than they realize? I think the biggest difference is space. Hong Kong is so dense and you feel suffocated. But at the same time there are more opportunities and you get things done quicker in Hong Kong, whereas in the States it is more about the quality of life. In the States there is a fine distinction between work and play. For Hong Kong, there is no line separating the two. You really have to get on your grind to be successful out here and a lot of the time you find yourself working during your time off. The similarities between the people in both countries is that we all have eyes and ears and noses and mouths. I love the States and I love Hong Kong and I am happy to be able to travel whenever I want. Who are some influential Chinese designers, artists, and brands to watch out for? I personally like CLOT (obviously), Subrcrew. My friends at Ground Zero just did a fashion show in Paris. The Liger Store owned by Hilary and Dorothy, they also have their own brand called Oh My God, which is cool. Johanna Ho is cool too. What’s the future for CLOT? And are you seeking expansion? We just opened a showroom in LA called Dr. Chen. Hopefully we will be able to do something in LA; that is the dream Edison and I both have. Hopefully globally too, just like The Hundreds, cause you know, you guys are HUGE and we’re not (haha)!

We’ve entered the age of complete and utter technological bombardment, tWitter oversharing, and basically having anything you Want at the tips of your fingers, thanks to Whoever invented the internet (definitely Was not al gore. possibly mike rosenstein). imagine all the crap you k-holed into When you Were supposed to be Working… ok, actually don’t do that. noW, imagine if you had used your internet k-hole poWers for good and not for evil. Wait, We lost you again… Well, check out these tWo purveyors of all that is cool on the internet, Jayne min of blog stop it right noW, and levy tran of mtv2’s guy code. both of these mavens utilized the ever-expansive platform to give themselves a voice and, in turn, mold careers and opportunities through their passions for fashion and the Web. they’ve got serious guts because not only are they really putting themselves out there in a World of faceless criticism, they are positive, unapologetic, and true. Jayne runs the ever-popular site for fashionistas to emulate her clean, masculine approach to fine fashion. she’s got a true creative eye and can turn the simplest torn denim into the next coveted item for any season. levy is a Jack of all trades. before making Waves on the interWeb, levy Was Working first as a teacher, then after that she Was an apprentice embalmer (true story)... that is, of course, until an assortment of really sexy, scantily clad photos of the then-anonymous tattooed model started to circulate across the tumblr community... and the rest Was history. the hundreds magazine Was able to catch up With Jayne and levy and ask them all about the Wide World of the Web.

hoW has the internet lent to your rise to success? I guess it just comes down to fast-paced distribution. When one thing hits and goes viral, it can spiderweb—one person knows, they have x amount of friends, and those x amount of friends send it to x amount of friends. It’s not like, “Oh I have this magazine, let me come over and bring it to you,” or “Let me show it to you the next day.” It’s instantaneous.

take us through a day in the life of levy. It varies. It goes between auditions for commercials or print, to photo shoots, to rushing to go to work over in West Hollywood, to traveling to different states or countries for club appearances, to doing a lot of research on the Internet. And a lot of paper work...

What kinds of reactions do you get from people seeing your tattoos for the first time? I get a mixture. An old lady will come touch me and be like, “Oh, it’s so beautiful... It’s like you’re walking artwork.” And another lady will be repulsed by the fact that I have a chest tattoo, and she’ll just be like “Ugh [gags]”—I just ignore it. But my family, they’re traditional Vietnamese from the motherland. They didn’t like it at first. They were like, “What’s going to happen when you’re older and you’re trying to get a job?” Well, I was already a teacher with all these tattoos, and I worked in a business office. It didn’t really affect too much. I just covered up.

describe the internet in Just three Words. Useful, entertaining, dangerous.

since you Were on season 2 of mtv2’s “guy code,” can you offer our male readers a piece of advice on picking up girls? Just be yourself. And if she doesn’t like you, she doesn’t like you. There’s nothing you can do about it. You can’t force somebody to like you, and that’s totally fine. If you guys don’t mesh, then you guys don’t mesh. But don’t take it to heart, you know? Just be yourself, and that’s it.

What made you decide to start your blog? I feel like I’ve answered this question 900 million times and I forget an answer each time. I was unemployed for a second and I had a lot of time on my hands, so this was just purely boredom.

has your blog alloWed you other opportunities? Yeah, a bunch. I work with a lot of brands now, doing product reviews, being on their blogs, and getting covered by them. But probably the biggest thing I did was for Vogue—I was in their September issue, and I did a series of designer skateboards with seven of my favorite designers. I made one with Alexander Wang, Thakoon, Rag & Bone, Diane von Furstenberg, and a few others. It’s all because I did those Celine boards last year, that’s why everything blew up and went viral.

Who’s your favorite style blogger right noW? I really like Ivania of Love Aesthetics. I just have a thing for Scandinavians in general. I bow down to Susie Bubble, the master of print/color mixing. She’s someone I look at as a credible fashion source and not just a style blogger. She seems like a wealth of fashion knowledge mixed with really down to earth personal aesthetic candor—I like that. How I think of a person inevitably seeps into how much I like their style.

describe the internet in three Words. The Internet? Cats. Sea punk. Tumblr.

any designer, lines, or pieces that are totally killing the Whole futuristic look? I personally don’t think there’s been a whole lot of “new” fashion. It’s sort of a reinvention of what’s already been made. After the ‘90s and into the 2000s, it’s been a recycling of past eras, so even “future” stuff has taken elements from the past. When I think of “futuristic” stuff I visualize Rick Owens, Damir Doma, gareth pugh—all those super cool Jedi sci-fi druid looks. It’s really interesting to look at deconstructed, conceptual fashion, but I prefer classics. My favorite designer is phoebe philo.

T

he distance between Victorville and L.A. is a mind-numbing two-hour car ride, but the cities might as well be worlds apart. Moving to

Hollywood feels sort of like crossing over into the Twilight Zone. We’ve got our heads so deep in the toasty, sun-kissed Santa Monica sand, we seem to have no qualms about $14 soy/wheatgrass/kombucha concoctions, freeways stacked like parking lots and hellish road rage day in and day out. Comedian/actor/web personality/writer Stevie Ryan admits, “As scared as I was all alone, it was exciting. I never wanted to go home again... There was this electric energy that runs through LA that I had never felt anywhere else.” No first-rate “rise to success” story is not without its fair share of bumps and bruises, Stevie’s being no exception. Here’re the Cliffs Notes: The green-eyed funnygirl caught the acting bug the summer after high school, enrolled in a photo class at her local community college, and—get a load of this—started shooting selfies of herself to use as makeshift headshots long before “selfies” were even a thing. Next thing you know, Stevie was auditioning for Hilary Duff’s music video “So Yesterday,” looking like a dead ringer for Marilyn Monroe in drag; perhaps a foreshadowing of her future character work. A year later, Stevie packed her bags and headed for the big city, hounded down a guy she heard was opening up his own commercial agency, and hassled him until he agreed to sign her. Before long, Stevie was booking commercial and print gigs left and right. She started dabbling with behind-the-scenes work, fusing her obsession for silent films—à la Harold Lloyd or Buster Keaton—with a newfound knack for editing. Little Loca, Stevie’s Internet alter-ego, came next. To play the role of Loca, Stevie took cues from the real-life cholas she knew and loved growing up in her hometown. Only as tough-as-nails Loca, Stevie sought to clean up all the hate and overall bad vibes percolating through YouTube at the time... That’s when things really started taking off for Stevie and she was appointed to front her own television show on VH1. “Stevie TV” debuted last year. The show’s titular comic/chameleon leaves no celebrity unparodied on the program, spoofing everyone from Justin Bieber to all three Kardashian sisters (Safe to say, if you ever find yourself being nationally lampooned by Stevie on the small screen, take it as a sign that you’ve officially made it in this city). It appears as if Stevie Ryan’s life has finally come full circle. What was once a daunting metropolis is now her home and heart. “I can’t even find the words to describe what it’s like watching your ideas come to life by an entire team of talented people. On set shooting, there’s this magic in the air that makes you high, and it ain’t weed smoke. I had never felt that before. I finally felt like I fit in somewhere and felt happy,” she confesses behind couched lips that curl into her trademark smile. “But maybe it’s because it’s my dream, so of course it’s a surreal experience. I am living the fucking dream.”

How’d you get started making videos on YouTube? It was a very long time ago, when youTube was literally just like a few hundred people making videos back and forth. I had become really obsessed with silent films, Harold Lloyd, buster Keaton, and Charlie Chaplin. I started making my own just for fun, and one day I put two and two together, and I was like, “wait, I can upload my silent films that I’ve been messing around on my computer with on that website where those kids have videos.” In two days it got all these mean comments, and people were like, “you’re stupid and ugly,” and, “you look like a horse, and, “you’re so dumb.” I was like what? I didn’t understand that the Internet was a very mean and negative place where people liked to be mean and pick fights. I went into defense mode and made a character named Little Loca because where I grew up the cholas were awesome, and everyone was afraid of them. I thought, I’m going to be the chola of youTube and basically handle it and make it a safer place—like I’m going to clean the streets of youTube up. I have no idea why, but all of a sudden people picked up on it like crazy—we were all going back and forth, and people thought this was a real chola blogging. I had said that I was living in East Los Angeles and that I was using my dad’s camera to upload these videos. so people were harassing me and I was fighting, and there was this whole Internet war of whether you were on Little Loca’s team or someone else’s. It was very fun and it lasted for a few months. It got so intense that I started like dreaming in spanish. I was like really into this character. It was weird. And then one day someone found my real Myspace and actually blended the photos from my profile with video stills of Little Loca. Fox News did an expose, and they were like, “This girl’s been busted. This girl’s been lying on the Internet about who she is.” Hey, I guess that’s the best compliment as an actor. but from that

point on, I started getting really into cameras, and just shooting lighting. I started geeking out on editing programs, and taught myself Final Cut. I would write huge stories and break them up into little episodes. I fell in love with the whole process. I realized that acting is such a small part of a whole world. And that’s just what I’m just obsessed with, is building those worlds and then creating them, and bringing them to life.

How did Stevie TV come about? I got really deep in the reality television game and started making parodies of some of my favorite shows, one of those being a short-lived reality show called pretty wild. I made a parody where I played all three sisters and had some of my friends play other characters from the show. A few months later one of the producers,

and what’s crazy is that I look exactly like her. so I know that if I gain that much weight, I’ll look just like Abby Lee Miller. I kind of saw my future of what I could be.

What was the transition like from Internet to TV? TV comes with a lot more responsibility. I went from working alone on my laptop in my bedroom to having 100 employees and an entire television show to carry. There’s a lot to adjust to, like deadlines and panic attacks over ratings. but those are the things that also make it very exciting and force you to live in the moment. The hardest part for me was learning to trust people with my vision. I was scared of the creative process because I had never collaborated with other writers or even let someone else edit my work. but as soon as we started writing, everything just felt right. I can’t even find the words to describe what it’s like watching your ideas come to life by an entire team of talented people. on set shooting there’s this magic in the air that makes you high, and it aint weed smoke. I had never felt that before. I finally felt like I fit in somewhere and felt happy. but maybe it’s because it’s my dream, so of course it’s a surreal experience for me. besides the responsibility end of it, not much is different. I mean, no one ever recognizes me or anything like that. oh, and I don’t have to eat off the dollar Menu every night anymore.

How have your fans adjusted to you moving to the small screen? I’m super lucky because my online audience is loyal as hell! They’ve had my back from the computer screen to the TV screen. That really is the coolest part of all of all of this, sharing the journey with all of them. My youTube channels aren’t just videos... They are a timeline of my dreams coming true. As public as it is, it’s also a very intimate thing to me because it has all come from a very raw and honest place.

What are some of your favorite websites to visit? I love The Hundreds, of course. we Heart It is like pinterest, but, I just go on there instead of pinterest because I’m too lazy to make a pinterest account. Hello Giggles. Media Take out’s a good one, too. of course I’m always on Ebay trying to get stupid shit that I don’t really need.

Are there any video bloggers we should look out for?

dan Levy, contacted me to say he loved the video I did and wanted to pick my brain. within the first ten minutes of sitting down with Levy we came up with the idea of a female driven sketch comedy show. we pitched it, had some offers, decided VH1 was the best fit, and then we made a pilot. Now we are about to start our 2nd season! At first it was actually called stevie Town, but we ended up changing it to stevie TV after I showed my executives at VH1 a Garbage pail Kids card I have called stevie TeeVee. I collect Garbage pail Kid Cards, bTw.

Do you have a favorite video or sketch that you’ve done so far? It’s pretty hard because they’re all so fun, every day’s different. one day I’m dressed as Justin bieber, and I have a sock in my underwear and I’m sagging my pants and girls want to go on a date with me. Another day, I’m Coco from Ice Loves Coco, and I have fake boobs and a fake butt. My favorite character is Little Loca, just ‘cause I feel the closest to her. My favorite sketch from the show was dance Moms because I had to play Abby Lee. They put prosthetics on me

Video bloggers you should look out for besides me? No. I’m just kidding. really... no. I’m on the lookout if there’s a video that comes up and it’s something or someone that I don’t know, and it’s inspiring and cool. I was obsessed with the Azealia banks “212” song before—I’m not being all hipster like, “I liked that song before it was cool”—but before everyone was finding out about it, it’s little things like that that I like to find.

Can you describe the Internet in three words? oh shit! slutty... platform! because I think you can use it as a platform if you’re smart. slutty if you like to be slutty. And sparkle-heart. That just basically means that it makes my heart sparkle, because I think that it’s awesome.

What do you have planned for 2013? I want it all. I really want to do so much. I’m going to stay on my grind, keep growing and evolving as much as possible. Make the best/funniest season 2 of stevie TV possible, write and produce a feature, sell a pilot, pay my car off, write a book, get interviewed by oprah, do a dancey dance on yo Gabba Gabba and hopefully get on Howard stern.

SOPHIA ROSSI I N T RO by C h e l s e a G R e e N / WO R D s by s O P h I a RO s sI / P h O T O by J Us T I N C O I T

Sophia Rossi co-created the powerhouse humor and female-friendly website, Hello Giggles, and Mike Rosenstein… well, Mike Rosenstein keeps getting asked if he invented Instagram (he didn’t). These two have a lot to say about the tool we’ve all naturally come to depend on a little too much. (You should see the The Hundreds office when the Internet shuts off – the place immediately devolves to a Lord of the Flies sitch, seriously….) Rossi and Rosenstein rant, rave, and give us a few pointers on the world wide web, how it’s helped them, and why people should probably just shut up about how it’s “terrible” because it’s NOT, ok? #dealwithit

Please stop saying you hate the Internet. It’s the same thing as saying you don’t own a TV or that you are strictly gluten free. No one is going to support this type of behavior. also, how do you hate something that provides so much good? you know the best part of the Internet? Well, the part where your eyes have the choice to see what they want and your fingers have the power to click elsewhere if you don’t like it. Reasons why the InteRnet Is the best: 1. You can find anyone you have a crush on (unless they are weird and not online). 2. Videos of animals are always available. 3. Videos of babies giggling are also available. 4. I can talk to my family in another country and complain about anything I want for an endless amount of time. 5. horoscopes are provided and I’m really into long form horoscopes. I could list a bunch more but I don’t want to. I want you all to think about the fact that the Internet might include really scary humans with a lot of spare time on their hands, but the real world has a lot more and they are possibly serial killers.

-@sofifii is a producer and co-founder of HelloGiggles. She loves Sweet Valley High more than she should. Follow her here: twitter.com/sofifii or bffproductions.tumblr.com.

@MikeRosenstein: #nofilter When my favorite brand The hundreds asked me to write about “The Internet”, at first I was like #LOL. but then the next day I saw a news clip about people being treated for Internet addiction. WhaT? Great. you crazy fucking maniacs... Go outside or something. Find a balance! Go see live entertainment. Instagram nature. Take more drugs, I don’t care. Just stop making us all look like weirdos and get your shit together. We need this.

VOICE S OF TH E H U N DR E DS —

My only advice is to just have fun with it! because it takes a lOT of practice to navigate cyberspace and keep up. but you also don’t want to get stuck in the “black hole” (or do you). Just know where to start, know who to follow, know how to get lost, and know when to quit. Most of my Internet time is spent consuming, but the other part is spent creating or sharing. Which everyone should do, no matter how bad or weird. and that’s the most important part of “The Internet”. The “community”. Just don’t get “addicted”, and implant that “chip” in your “brain”, get “google goggles”, enter “cyber rehab”, and become “bFFs” with Riff Raff. Just relax and enjoy how insane the concept of the Internet actually is. :) now a Few InteRnet thInGs that I’D LIKe to shaRe (PLUG): 1. Follow me on Instagram & Twitter: @MikeRosenstein. hope you like sunsets and celebrities! 2. Watch a comedy series I produce with Ben Stiller called “Burning Love” (BurningLove.com), starring Ken Marino and a ton of great comedians. bonus points if you can spot any The hundreds gear in seasons 2 & 3. 3. and follow a few funny people who do it right on Twitter and elsewhere like @JakeFogelnest, @ChelseaVPeretti, @JensenClan88, @JoeMande, @PaulScheer, @Rillawafers and @Soffifi. They really get what’s so interesting, fun and silly about the Internet. And now you can too! Also, I like “artists” like @Dieantwoord, @Diplo, @RiffRaff, etc. who really embrace and bleed the absurd Internet culture that speaks to their audience. an audience who, like me, grew up hand in hand with the World Wide Web. an audience that can barely tell the difference between a good artist and a walking meme. 4. haters gonna hate. 5. Don’t sleep. stay up and look at all the stuff. all of it. Or die. #Goodadvice

-@MikeRosenstein is a producer of comedy. He runs Ben Stiller’s digital production company at Red Hour Films. He has won an Instagrammy lifetime achievement award. He is verified on Twitter. He has a beard. He wears The Hundreds. Google him and watch his latest series: www.burninglove.com.

MIXTAPE:

T H — S / S ‘13

KID SISTER p h o T o By Ro N y A LW I N

This mixtape is by the lovely Melisa Young, better known as Kid Sister. Yeah, that’s right— it’s the Pro Nails superstar coming at you with a hot list of her favorite songs to date. Hailing from Chicago but currently calling Los Angeles home, Kid Sister has done it all. She has worked with the best of the best, from Flosstradamus to Kanye West, and she’s got the gift of flow that’s completely unmatched to any other female in the game. She’s the queen of cool and her knowledge of trap music and mixtapes knows no bounds…

Flosstradamus — FNFDOS I love everything my brother does, so I will say that first. But this song just makes you want to open-handed slap the person next to you... TOO turnt.

Tom Richman – Dro Montana I love Whitney and I love all things SWERVY. Here you stand at the intersection of those things.

Nick Carter Green — ADD Thank you, DJ Nehpets.

Diplo — Express Yourself (Gents & Jawns Remix) What ya got now? Riddimz, so many of them.

Sandro Silva & Quintino — Epic (Luminox Remix) It’s like seeing the island of iBeefer through some loud ass colored contact lenses from a liquor store.

Charlie Boy Gang — Beef It Up I’ve loved this song for a full year.

Melé — The Jump Off Them horns tho.

Heroes X Villains — Original Choppaz

Flosstradamus & DJ Sliink — Test Me [ƱZ Remix] This ish is tuff... IT JUST IS.

A WEEK IN THE LIFE:

t h — s / s ‘13

FOSTER HUNTINGTON Foster Huntington is homeless. But don’t feel too bad for him. Traversing the world in search of surf, skate, and beautiful moments, the modern-day nomad shares his wanderlust digitally through Instagram and blogs, attracting hundreds of thousands of followers who also dream of the life Foster lives everyday. Raised in Portland, the 24-year-old went to school in Maine and eventually relocated to New York to work for Ralph Lauren, but Huntington’s fascination with not just the brands, but the stories driving them, left him constantly searching for more. It was out of this unrelenting curiosity that Huntington drew inspiration for starting his blogs, “The Burning House” and “A Restless Transplant.” “The Burning House” follows the narrative, “If your house was burning, what would you take with you?” “A Restless Transplant,” on the other hand, documents Foster’s adventures camping, surfing, and touring the west in his 1987 Volkswagon Syncro Vanagon— the closest thing he can call “home.”
