&.he’s.dope.

so fashion week daily stalks down industry heavyweights for musings in the chic report. as of current, the interviewed are nominees for the 2008 cfda awards, and i found humor and personal like for accessory nominee phillip crangi based on this q&a bluffing…

who are you bringing as your date?
my sister courtney, who is my partner. we started this together. if she hadn’t pushed me, i would probably be a pool cleaner.

a pool cleaner. ha, the man is not only big shit in his craft but i find admiration in his aloofness. somehow i don’t doubt the sincerity in his silliness though. the awards are awarded june 2nd & i believe crangi has his nomination “sewed” up.

cheers,

mustard.seed.proportions.

does anyone recall the velvet rope tour? the hbo special where ms. nasty on-looks a sea of thousands at madison square in colossal pomp. cheers erupt 15 minute strong before she broke from sweat & thus influenced jay-z’s attempt in fade to black. well, i spoke of this phenom with my housemate a few days ago in regards to obtaining a sphere of influence for myself like other one namers… i.e. prince, cher, madonna & of course, GOD before this happened……

obama drawing a crowd of 75,000 in portland.

so, i’m skimming for fat off foxnews’ blog for balanced discourse which is a rarity, and for whatever imposed reason this many people (75,000) were in attendance. this feat reflects our desire for charisma absent in present leadership & people rallied around promise. now charisma (1/2 character & 1/2 charm) is a proving allure in obama, and if pundits, lay people (clinton’s supporters), and fox news researched fully or delve deeper than a narrow mindset full of kiddie pool requirements, they’d understand why so many people (75,000) have vested interest in obama (not his complexion nor this appeasement; step-n-fetch bullshit perted).

its to my knowledge, one appeases sheep into coercion, which is clearly not his supporters since we tend to have degrees among complex thoughts. that’s clinton’s nostalgically dated base of voters whom reminisce about the clinton administration of ‘96 though thought not to elect gore. idiots probably voted for bush twice; regretful whores.

& to the smarty whom quipped about obama losing pennsylvania after a rally of 35,000, he won the metropolitan areas of the state hands down just not the married first-cousins found in places like reading or st.marys whom are unaware of the decade in which we live.

in.the.news… bulgari.blacks.out

amid reports of a 4.6% drop in Q1 earnings stemming from this weak u.s. dollar and soft sales in the u.k. & italy, bulgari spa recently confirmed its 2008 guidance pending no increased macroeconomic deterioration. this bullishness streamlines forward with the opening of a bulgari store in lenox mall? why?!

though truly exciting as i’m a fan of its black cologne & accessories, i disagree with the timing of the store’s opening in this market. gas is fcuking outrageous in the land of home foreclosures, so where’s this extra cash bulgari is attempting to sponge going to manifest?

i can only imagine that bulgari spa brokered lower rent rates with simon, as i don’t forsee this store impacting those profit margins to kelly green territory; just added overhead. besides, phipps caters more to the clientele & evident someone should receive a nice pink slip for not doing their homework fully.

already off on the wrong foot,

in.the.news… hermes.flies.high.

diesel in the bag; i need more in order to run fly in olympus’ back yard. to do so, the economy needs a serious hug. retail, the government’s first clutch, failed miserably to shift recessionary tides as many companies downsized staffs, offerings &/or edifices to spur dismal actualizations derived from too ambitions fiscal financial projections. few, very few, prospered. hell, matter-of-factly only luxury; those lands where purse strains are affected least (think price-value relationship vs. buying consumer (economics 101 ppl!!).)

hermes, which is where i’m ambitiously working to roost, posted 1st quarterly gains of 13.4% across all product categories. so what does that mean in $$ (more like pesos) and euros? the luxury thoroughbred profited 415.1 million euros, or $621.7 million at average exchange rates, with strong showings across all key product categories and regions, and may trend toward the 2 billion atmosphere toward years end.

i imagine my pockets overfloweth beyond delight with crocodile & stingray, egyptian & chinese so off i go in diligence. visit the website, which is easily navigable and genius, for great father’s day gift ideas too (i.e. cufflinks.)

must i always command – shop, whores… shop!

tipping.over.

yesterday, mothers day, marked the second anniversary of my alumnus status and was a day tritely introspective regarding self-direction and ambition. as for one month from now, i’ll shed this layer called atlanta in terminality to tread light in nyc down liquid streets of opportunity and relevance in these…

…cole haan’s prescott winged-tip oxfords in cognac. i’ve plotted the debut of my summer obsession for 2 months now though i’m left wordless in its beautiful stupidity. so, do as i… say little if nothing; just marvel.

lacing them up,

for.the.lover.in.you

accessories polish & refine a statement be it serious or casual. as a collector of these (ties, scarves, cufflinks, & pocket squares), i’m most soft-headed about rings though i have the frequent tendency to misplace them in my daily madness.

like a d.t. in search of the ripper, i scowl the trendiest & lowliest of places for some original baubles befitting of temperament, and currently this maison martin margiela ring leaves me wide-eyed & shook. this engraved silver, spiraled ring retails for a moderate $155, and is just like a happy meal (in that it eats.)

cheers,

revenge.is.sought.

and its squeezed fresh for the pavement, friday, may 23rd, at the variety playhouse in l5p. i gushed over feist, whom i missed seeing twice despite my serendipitous fawning, but my current group du jour is chopping it up in the “a” like a quiff with a pimp.

she wants revenge is bringing the pain for the prince of dark and debauchery, and its imperative that i’m in attendance on the 23rd. they’re the headlining act on the nylon summer music tour and are supported by be your own pet (???) & some other outsiders.

though with favorites like tear you apart, spend the night, rachael, & these things, this is sure to be my last hoo-rah in a-town and for only $20 bucks.

tiding me over in the meantime is the video for tear you apart. dig into this!

score & equally geeked,

shaun.ross. (revisited)

one of the first posts highlighted a relatively unknown model just earning his glow. model shaun ross of djamee has been quite busy working his eerily unorthodox; yet, welcomed defiance with castings and updated internet feed. cheers & more chills as his look’s resilience re-defines the relative context of beauty.

this 6′1″, 16 y.o., multi-colored eye phenomenon is the epitome of art in movement as each capture loses me in its translation, and teasingly, i leave you with some video of shaun in transition:

parallel.lines.

although this might be the most major photo i’ve seen in sometime in regards to gangsta androgynistic beauty, it doubles as representation for the expected creative foray for the breathtakingly sickening agnes deyn whose likeness here is a futuresex/lovesounds promo leftover. so does it really come as shock that this beauty now “sings” despite sounding similar to all the other tarts selling beauty sans true vocal acrobatics.

this image of dame agnes can be found in the may edition of i-d magazine, while i’ll spare you the reel footage of agnes wailing away into nothingness.

digressing,
