caught.out.there.

i stan hard for the satorialist. he’s my rage in these mean streets. my cure from this dismal echo chamber of existing ideas in which i live, atlanta. so this post and those similar that follow are in tribute to the eyes of sir majesty & his captures across the bespoked world.

two distinct styles. both judiciously imitated on the street. i’m not sure what i like most in the first pic… the wind tossed coif or the purposely relaxed collar. not to mention, noting that the racing stripes on the ‘roy textured cardi paired with the wine coloured, star-point, geometric sweater is super aka very kevin stuckey.
look two’s composition is reminiscent of jeremy haynes… layered canvases mixed with a serious bag game and paired with none-to-serious sneakers saying exactly that; f’k the world.

birthing.stupid. conform.

i hate phones. we humans communicate far less with each tech advancement but this here might change my view, if not the world. although a prototype, this chanel coco phone is quite anemic. “it works by integrating an optical fiber system that displays images between two glass parts. there are 12 micro lighter fibers that reflect image components on the glass. the fibers offer good luminosity and keeps the mobile phone concept as light as possible. the lights only appear when you open the phone by pushing the removable part on the side of it.”

kudos to Ye University for the source/synopsis.

therapy.that.clothes.the.soul

(*scoffing!) and they say retail therapy is only for women. if given tony yayo’s recent episodes… (terrible stage name/craptastic rap album/borderline ear debauchery & focused on not dropping soap while awaiting trial for slapping a kid) i’d run to luxury too for comfort or terse relevance.

kids, there’s three lessons to be learned here…. use your pimp hand wisely, don’t take liberty for granted; buy gucci.

my.bag.&.my.2-step.

pressed like an 80’s denim crease, this is my new crack of the moment. like desperate susan, i’m seeking this padded leather shoulder bag with embossed lettering from what i gather is 2 seasons prior. it’s demise is planned already as it is for breakfast & seeking feedback.

courtesy of my favorite blog du jour… coacd……. the director highlights an unknown named shaun ross of djamee models. the lack of melanin and androgyny is so intriguing, i wonder how he translates in movement against lucid hues. eerily striking! what do you think?

i’ll sequester my reservations toward this “girly” man, and i’m no a fan of all image no substance rihanna either, but this glow in the dark tour will be the tour of year. in attendance i shall be, perhaps even in chicago. ye, add common to the line-up, & snub rihanna for feist. imagine daft punk getting down with feist; pure genius.

somber.notes.

life is truly what one makes it while in the pursuit of creating oneself. my creation is forever cemented in chicago; (haterville usa) where i relished in all the city could offer this sponge. i earned my chicness, my glow, my fortitude for venusasaboy.

i miss the days of running to catch the L, working two jobs, living off lake st. above chromium/shadowbar, tutoring the impoverished at Orr on the westside (deathside), and being a G.O.O.D music/hustle intern. home to the illest talent, i witnessed & then staned for an unknown lupe fisaco just earning his glow though he looked rather homeless to me at the time. nights of partying in jet, sipping moet while on business. woman in tow, running through le passage, celebrity, spoon, & the hunt club with the pretentious all while feeling myself. photoshoots & modeling; set-dressing, styling, image consulting & catered lunches at energy bbdo… aww, those were the days as i was discovering how to get out my dreams.
atlanta offers nothing.

if a picture is worth a 1000 words, then i couldn’t agree more as somethings are truly best left unsaid, and in this instance, shown.

not.so.fetted.footwear :(

old news yet lofty on thought, i’m questioning kim jones’ transition at alfred dunhill. congrats to jones for overseeing product design and development across the brand, ie. leather and menswear, but that brand is as exciting as ben stein or my fathers concept of dressing, which ever is greater. truly ne ma tasse de thé.

although jones’ creative vision and talent is unabashed, i wonder if quality will become an issue for the house as my umbro by kim jones shoes buckled at the seams after two months of inconsistent wear. i really got owned. super glue & then goodwill perhaps. yes! for (conflict & resolution).
