I never knew Roberto Carlos was such an outstanding striker, He is truly undermined on the brazil squad. Watch this and try to fathom the athleticism.

A wonderful womens line. Hands Down. The creators Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez are two young geniuses. They rose to fame directly out of college. Barneys New York essentially bought their senior thesis. I aim to be in their place some day. Below, most recent to oldest, and the creators.

Japanese Hornet

2009-12-23T18:00:00.000-08:00

I am afriaid of bees and/or hornets (and am man enough to admit that) but I cannot deny how cool they look.
These japanese hornets are quite possibly the most deadly insects on the planet.
lets lay down some facts:
The worlds largest hornet at 2 inches with a three inch wingspan.
The stinger is a quarter inch long.
Its venom is a deally concoction of eight different chemicals and has the ability to bore a hole through human skin.
Can fly at speeds of 25 miles per hour.
Kills full grown Yaks.
Most deadly, venomous killer in all of japan.
Eats bumble bees.
BADASS.

WTAPS (Pronounced Double Taps)

Yo...WTAPS is legit in ways that only a japanese streetwear/high-fashion brand can be legit. I f#@ks with it.

Before I Die: Own a semi-illegal, dead animal ornament

2009-07-08T21:26:00.000-07:00

It seems like nowadays people grow old and don't acquire anything worth while. People go and live their lives and they have nothing that can be passed down, nothing with soul...nothing they had to go to another counrty for, shoot, and stuff,... and might be illegal! Sry PETA, I kinda want some large, exotic, dead animal in my house at some point. Heres what i mean... BADASS...

Just one tho... (as if that sounds any better to animal rights activists)

Before I Die: Get Down With BAKER CREW!

2009-07-07T20:53:00.000-07:00

Baker is a skateboard company owned by my second favorite skater of all time, Andrew Reynolds, and its 100% the most badass company on the market. In my eyes its a really american brand because of its, "f@#k you" attitude toward everything. Their ads make me want to shred hard everytime I see 'em.

American Classic: New Balance 99X series

2009-07-07T11:55:00.000-07:00

Ok, so alot of people think running shoes have no place in the world of high-fashion, but I beg to differ. New Balance 99X series shoes are by far the most stylish running shoes on the market. 1: The silhouette is not clunky like most running shoes, they instead have this cool triangle like shape to them. 2: The color-way isn't gaudy or flashy; the all gray color makes it easily wearable with almost anything. 3: They're made in America, nuf said.
I recommend any of the 99 series, so go out and buy some in grey and rock them unlaced with the tongue loose, hell, even let 'em get dirty!

See, Steve Jobs wears 'em.(Ok maybe not the best example of style, but consistent)

Second Best in Milan: Dsquared2

2009-07-06T23:09:00.000-07:00

Dsquared is sometimes seen as a gaudy fashion house. Their clothes sometimes show excess, but I respect the designers Dean and Dan Caten, because they don't give a flying squirrel about what people think. Their clothes are loud and in your face, and often make blatant homosexual references, but that's why their badass!! Try to find the hoodies on Ebay. Its a good look. Here are some of my favorite looks from their show in Milan for S/S 2010.

Movie Style: The Talented Mr. Ripley

2009-07-06T22:51:00.000-07:00

This movie is great because:
1: It's just good, Matt Damon is good and the movie is pretty intriguing.
2: It's pretty stylish, and everyone looks good all of the time.

Bottega Veneta

2009-07-06T22:04:00.000-07:00

OMG!!! Best show in Milan, hands down. Here are some of my favorite looks from the show.
See, Bottega Venetta is cool cause even men not so adventerous in their clothing choices can appreciate the house. Tomas Maier, the creative director, is the man.

Maier has got the jacket and jeans combo down to a science!

The man himself.

If You Are From D.C.

2009-07-06T21:53:00.000-07:00

A, If you are from D.C., Listen to Go-Go. End of story. Its kinda awesome.
I recommend either of these cds. Go out, buy them, stimulate the economy, and have a ball!
