4. THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS OF TWENTEEN
• FASHION
“In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different”
The words of Coco Chanel, a motto that Twenteen holds very dear to our hearts!
• ART
“Blessed are those who see beautiful things in humble places where other people see nothing”
The words of Camille Pisarro, some that I’m sure we all would agree with.
• CULTURE
“No culture can live, if it attempts to be exclusive”
Gandhi said this, man knew his stuff.
• TRAVEL
“The world is a book and those that don’t travel read only one page”
St Augustine, this we particularly like here at Twenteen, makes us want to hop on a plane right
now.
• LITERATURE
“Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing”
Benjamin Franklin, or both if you can.
• FILM
“A filmmaker has almost the same freedom a novelist has when he buys himself some paper”
Stanley Kubrick, magazine writers too….. But we need the paper!!
• MUSIC
“Without Music, life would be a mistake”
Friedrick Nietzsche, Right On!!

band Housework (guilty pleasure, friends with the editors), Bemis, Cruel Folk,
Devine’s Jug Band, Glenn Williams, Jimmy Buffet, Robin James Hurt, Stompin’

7. FILM
JUST A LITTLE TASTER
Our ethos regarding Film is one of ‘show me more’, we want to see everything (we mean everything) and make sure we always keep an open mind, but just as important
we want to hear what other film lovers have to say. Film at Twenteen is to be a creaCve space for our writers to express themselves and our readers to comment. So……
