I was recently guest editor for one of Beijing’s English language magazines, Agenda. It was great having another opportunity to work with True Run Media. The first magazine that ever carried images from Stylites was The Beijinger, their flagship publication.

How delightful! We need far more flower power.

There is always an overload of photos after a music festival, so let me apologize for the sheer number of images from Strawberry as compared the normal volume here. There is just no other place in Beijing where one can see so many hip youths in notable attire.

Though I think she may be eating seeds rather than nuts.

Pattern War or Peace?
What a brilliant assault of pattern mixing!
Sultry Sellers
There was a new type of seductive stuff salesgirl in evidence at the Strawberry festival this time.

Ready to sew confusion…
Welcoming Merchant
She was sitting behind her little stand selling various trinkets. What a pleasant sort of expression!

Just not sure if cowboys ever have long hair…
Stimulating Sekts
The Schwansee Trocken is the perfect sparkling wine for your stylish courtyard party, as I have found. The price is reasonable, but the taste is similar to entry-level champagnes – that is to say, it is dry and immensely drinkable. Without seeing the bottle, all but true connoisseurs might mistake it for Moët & Chandon. One can certainly be fabulous while drinking Schwansee.
Schwansee Rosé blanc et noir must be the best priced sparkling Rosé on the market. Fragrant but crisp, this will work nicely at a sunny afternoon picnic nearby Xihai.
We would like to extend a warm thank you to Cheers for sponsoring Stylites’ Spring Preening party with Jeans Team last Thursday. Cheers offers the best values in Beijing for good table wines as well as sekts for parties.
You can also follow them on weibo.
Strawberry Essentials
The Strawberry aesthetic, in the end, is all about patterns, bright colored tights, and big sunglasses.

This makes me think of some figure from the 1920s, though I can’t recall which one.
Beer was available at the strawberry festival only from the bags of old ladies and the various vendors. Apparently, they had snuck it in as if it was contraband. Alcohol is no longer allowed to be sold at music festivals in Beijing. It’s interesting being at a festival with so little liquor. Holding a beer can makes one feel like some kind of deity because everyone is so impressed.
