Neil Boorman Puts His Shit On A Bonfire

Now I might not understand, but I respect Boorman for the crazy experiment that he's about to embark on. For reasons not exactly clear, he's torching all that he owns which is branded. From trainers to T's, it's all going up in smoke. And best believe this guy has some nice stuff.
Read about it for yourself on bonfireofthebrands.blogspot.com
It makes me know one thing - I could never, everr, ever do something like that. Call me Ms Materialistic, but seriously, I know I couldn't watch my shit go up in smoke in the name of life-change. Never that. Hell no.

thanks for the plug! If any body wants to join me round the fire on August bank holiday weekend, they're welcome to throw on their stuff.

The reason why I'm doing it? I look at that Reebok/ Mike Skinner advert (I Am What I Am) and wonder exactly how you can be an individual by buying a pair of sneakers that 100,000 other people have got.

Nothing against Mike. Nothing against people who wear Reebok. I just want to create my own identity without having to buy it off big companies.

Neil.
