Would you?

After making easy payments of xx.99 for her 'historical commemorative Obama plates' I believe my mom would disown me if I came around her house with this propaganda apparel on. But in all honesty I would wear this shirt.

I rarely speak about politics with certain people because if they were to find out I voted for Mccain because it would've benefited me personally, I might get tarred and or feathered!


also Happy Thanksgiving!

Because I spent a lot of my childhood growing up in London, Thanksgiving was never really that big of a deal for me. I tell people that now and they look at me like I'm a fucking terrorist. Instead of trying to come up on a plate, I'm going to volunteer at a shelter. I've been running my mouth about atonement and now it's time to really see if I'm about what I be talkin' bout.


What are y'all doing for turkey day?

-Oh yeah, my replacement screen and digitizer is still in the packaging looking at me, I'm so scared to undertake it. I mean it's one thing to look at videos on vimeo/youtube/aol video and be like...

"man I could do that shit!"

and it's another to actually power off your iPhone and take that shit apart. I will tuck my nuts and nike it though, watch and see!

Footloose

It's no secret I'm a Shmack groupie... I'll never forget the day I first saw their jeans and I was like '$150!?!?!?! I've never even heard of these mufuckas!" and the next thing I know I'm auditioning to be in their fashion show. I'm a person of the sun and even though it's like 67 at night time in Georgia, that shit feels like -25 to me.... So boots are definitely what I'm in the market for and even though I've got these...

I want these....

and since I found them online for hella cheap, I'm thinking about saying fuck it and getting them too! I mean I'm not to crazy about the 'bubble' in the back, I don't wanna look like a 'b boot wearing DC nigga' but I think I can make them work...

Back to Shmack though I came across these online from their fall collection and I must say 'I am impressed'. I mean I honestly never really dug Shmack's other shoes too tough like I did their jeans and hoodies, but they came correct this time.

Cover it up

"White phones get dirty too easy, and when they get a little bit dirty they look all fucked up"

When the 'D Wade' sidekick came out I tried to talk my dog into getting it and that was his response. Turning my iphone on the other side I can really vouch for that. I mean I've had it for like a minute now and there's scrapes and all sorts of tomfoolery back there and as much as I hate cases on phones, I'm going to have to break down and get one. So far I've narrowed it down to two. But I'm really leaning towards the chocolate but I don't think they make them for 3G's... Any of y'all know of a case thats pretty good?

TK at Wish

Late as always I got to the store and that place was packed wall to wall with hipsters in the skinniest of jeans in the wildest of colors. So like any normal person I just stood in line not knowing what the line is for or leading to... So from just talking to people I found out that there was only like 46 pairs and when I got there, there was like 6 left. So I still said 'fuck it' and waited it out. After about 15 minutes in line I'm up front right behind this dude and his girl. So I look at the stash of shoes and I see...Two pairs of 4's, a 11.5 and a 12 (my size) So I'm like hell yeah cause I see the dude in front of me look kind of excited and shit. So I ask him...

Me: What size you wear? *looks down at his feet*

I wear a 12.

Me: ...........

Me: *unctous grin on face* Well you should get the 11.5's and I'll just get the 12's.

*no hesitation* Ok

Me: For reals?!?

Yeah

Me: You're alright! I'm gonna dance at your wedding!

So after a FAA screening type process I got my shoes and proceeded to the 'complimentary vodka bar' which in principle is ran off tips but you know how that goes.... So I'm walking around this store buzzing off 'complimentary' vodka and pineapples and go and check out the 'lab of shoes' downstairs and see... Coming upstairs I see Terry Kennedy and just ask him for a picture on some non groupie ass dude type shit.... So with my buzz on and my kicks in tow I headed out of there and into lil five points a very happy man.

Up thru dere

It's been sooo long since I've been around a hipster/fashionista/SNKRHD crowd, plus this'll be my first time going to a release party in Atlanta! I'm really looking forward to this, butat the same time, it's shit like this that really makes me miss my earring, I feel... off kilter with only one earring, especially after telling my one homeboy "girls don't one some one hole havin' ass dude, this ain't 1989"

But anyways I'll be in that piece Shmack'd out.

All the hipsters love N*E*R*D / Centure 22

So the clouds become dark and the sky becomes blue and n*e*r*d hits the stage! They came and ripped it with "anti matter" and mufuckas lost their damn minds...crowdsurfing, skanking all that. I man I'd be taking pictures and just get kicked in the head by some mufucka crowd surfing. I saw this one chick just get dropped...hard. So pharrell saw it too and he was like "yo..I don't care how drunk you are, but when you got somebody crowdsurfing you hold them the fuck up!"

All in all it was a cool ass show...I shoulda went to the after party but I met up with my light skinned homeboy "J-wiggla" who has turned into a full blown "blipster", from the blazers to the buddy holly glasses. We went to ihop and they handed out Centure 22 t-shirts. J Wiggla and his cuz started a exclusive collection called "centure 22" it's pretty dope, and from talking to them about it, they don't want it to be a clothing line more of a lifestyle brand. So yeah... check it out www.centurexxii.com



I found out super late about the launch party at commonwealth of "play cloths" the clipse's foray into high end street couture. So I check up on it online and find out it starts at 8. So that to me means fallin off in there at like 9, 9:30. My light skinned bro J calls me as I'm like 2 blocks away and is like "you see this line outside? I'm not fucking with this shit"


I mean the line outside that shit wasn't that that long but it was cold as fuck and that wind was bitin out there..I mean it's the kinda cold you could be talking to someone and step out into it, and forget what you were talkin about!






So we go to ihop again and I talk fashion with his cousin evrything from creating a symbol, to PF Flyers.

So we leave and I ride past commonwealth and see no line so I pop in. It's like "hipsters, blipsters and whipsters oh my" in there. So I talk with a few people and check out "play cloths" which is dope BTW and I turn my head and see Pusha T, Shae and Famlay. Now I'm no groupie ass star struck dude or whatever but I fuck with these dudes shit and it's crazy to see them... I told JP that and her jaded mark ass said "Umm...welcome 2 Va. If its not one of thm, it Angel Lola Luv's @ss somewhere."

All in all a pretty cool night.

I should start dressing myself!

I remember I came across these jeans while I was looking for God knows what, so I blogged about them and everyone shared my WTF-ness supposedly.... well not everyone.

The funny thing is I remember seeing some guy with these on at the Blend fashion party and I thought that he may of just gotten his "taryn" on and got freaky with that sewing machine... no dice. I was kind of hurt to find out my surrogate brand shmack (that I have been flucking with since a little after it's inception) came out with these. Looking at them though, they don't look THAT bad, I'd wear 'em though. Just don't tell anybody!

Grown and sexy?

My Bro:"Yeah we're gonna be going out to a grown and sexy spot. You can't go?"

Wack girl: "Why not I've got a lot of grown and sexy stuff"

My Bro: "Like What?"

Wack girl: "I've got this baby phat denim cat suit that *gestures on her body* comes down like this and this, it's fly as hell"

*crickets*
*tumbleweed rolls by*
*laughter held in barely*



I want to charge her up about this, but she is so sensitive, that it will ruin our friendship...But I can see her coming to the club in some Mahno-no air forces ones or mahno-no timbs with a fucking denim catsuit. I mean seriously the last girl who wore a catsuit was....

and look how that turned out

SUPERFERTILE

SUPERFERTILE = Kali Arulpragasam, an accomplished jewelery designer out of london.

If I ever sell a beat for a couple stacks I'm definitely gonna get a senegalese or bajan necklace made with something hell sick on it!

check her out it's pretty nasty!

Don't worry it happens to every guy.

Being on the other side of town caught me at the mall and while I was in there I ran into a girl tarsha I dated in early 2006, that was one of the many things she said about my "problem". Few people who know me know that 2006 was a tumultuous year for me and that tumultu-ocity manifested itself into two things.

1. PE

2. ED

For any man that’s some heavy shit to deal with but for a 21 year old in the so called best years of my life. That shit was like a dagger in my heart and soul! I turned to my homies, but them punk ass tricks made it worse. I turned to my homegirls and they made it even more worser! Just seeing her brought back all those terrible memories, if I was a weaker person I would of ran out of that mall stark raving mad! But we had a convo that wasn’t awkward as I thought it would be.

I have officially sworn off going to the malls for clothes shopping purposes. Well I take that back because I still fluck with ae and express, but as far as urban wear is concerned I’m done. Who even wears urban wear / ed hardy anymore?


My point exactly...

I remember going to the mall before and being disgusted, I thought I would go in yesterday and it would change. How wrong was I…? Everything is still bright colours and skulls and empty quotations. Pretty soon it’s gonna be nothing but gently used clothing for me!

I get no kick from champagne!

My first night of "domestic displacement" has me questioning my taste in fashion. and thinking that
First off fuck that!

My style is very conservative-ALT and on point, very street couturish kinda blipsterish just without the bright colors and tight ass jeans... so when I have to actually step out of that style to go to a different type of place, I'm at a loss for style! Luckily Arych helps me avoid fashion "fo paws" with his keepin it too real criticism

I went with my puerto rican dude and met JP at guadalajara's, it was my first time going there since my fiasco with jazzy girl...the club left a lot to be desired at first but it was free and I only really came up there to see her, when I saw her salsain' and droppin it' she looked like...

We danced, I went like 56% and she went 34% so yeah...

One ? For y'all though, If you see a dude who you know enough to "dap up" and say what's up to at work, get thrown out of the club, and you didn't come with said dude, and the guy who came with said dude knows his boy was thrown out and is still salsain' his ass off in the club.

True or false. You have no reason to stop partying?

New Era x Sesame Street

I kinda fluck with 'em my clear favorite is the Cookie monster one... I don't know why. and me myself I'm not even a hat person, even though I want one for the summer so I'm not around here lookin' like a turned off t.v.

The shmack Sample sale!!!

I had gotten an email from Shmack about a sample sale earlier during the week and even though I didn't know what a sample sale was... I knew that it as an oppurtunity to make some serious come ups on clothes, and that's alright with me. So I wake up on saturday and head out there, I txtd a friend of mine who stays in the area to get her ass up and check it out but no dice. So anyway I get there and it looks like a fell off the truck sale, but there was some real hot shit out there, and I wanted to get my browse on harder than what I did but I remember passing a bank and it said the temperature was like 103... So to keep from lookin like the "bic man" I hit it pretty hard and fast... while I was there one of the shmack intern girls asked me about signing up for the mailing list, I told her "that's how I found out about this" and we rapped a tad about fashion and other shit, she asked me if I like "blac label" I told her peope who wear it should be shot, and she was like "believe it or not people want shmack to be more blac labelish" That would really suck because shmack has been kinda hit or miss lately but I still fluck with them because their hits are pretty spectacular. Anyways here's my pickups.I bought a wallet I thought was petty cool, only thing is I can't fit money in there without folding it in half...oh yeah I copped my Skytop's and I got em for the L-O!
