Hungry Shoes and Dirt-Be-Gone

I don't know about you, but ever since Turkey Day ended, I've been having food on the brain.

The following Friday morning was dubbed time to start up the diet again...

(warning: horrible segway into fashion-topics approaching...)

I was out to lunch with to my dude Jake at the infamous MickeyD's on State (&& Jackson??) when I looked down and noticed that he was ever-so-ironically kickin' Gourmets.

(For those that don't get the irony, it was a feeble attempt at humor but perhaps my funny meter is out of whack since I started my diet. - The term "gourmet" is usually associated with the "culinary arts of fine food," thus half-heartedly funny that I noticed them in a Mickey's.)



My darling Jake insists that his black ones look like Jordan's - maybe the Cease model?? - but I don't think so. Maybe...

Some male in my posse positively MUST get the Santo model in amethyst since purple is a positively DIVINE color and it would make me proud to walk around the streets of Beverly or Downtown with a man in purple NFNs.

Um, speaking of this fucking Windy City, I am extremely frightened of wearing my kicks out in the abominable snow, as minutes after falling it's not nearly quite as pristine and lovely as when you first looked out of your window.

Still, we snow-bootless freaks thunder on.

If you're hardheaded like me and value your kicks just about as equally as your life, I'd suggest Jason Markk.



At www.jasonmarkk.com (or at various retailers world wide such as Solemates in Chicago and Henry or Hospitality in Richmond, VA), you can cop a boss ass Premium Sneaker Solution. Also sold are all of amenities; cleaning brushes, microfiber towels (hypoallergenic, btw), and briefly a limited edition travel kit to clean your kicks on the go.

SO: Some idiot just stepped unawares on your supaflys?? Never fear. After you're done jumpin his ass, whip out the Markk and quickly get back to steppin...

Or something like that if I had to improv a commercial.

What Would U Do!? Or Better Yet WWJD?!?! Real Talk...

What do you do when your stuck in a sticky situation?
Do I stay or do I go?
I can't make my mind up...
People do wrong things but then you forgive them
But do you forget?!...Or then again you just can't manage to if you wanted?!?!
Will the second chance be the last?
Will they change?
OR IS IT ALL A LIE?!
But are you willing to sacrifice your time and feelings to see what happens?
On the other hand...It may be a test/trial from God...
Can you really forgive someone, let it go and start fresh? That's the ultimate test!
God did it!!!!
Can you????????!!!!!!
Speaking from the heart indeed!!!! ya digg!!!

"Off the top"Shady Niggas/females"

people you can trust
sometimes aren't the people you should trust
it always turns out like that it seems.
you always think they would hold their word
or would never in life betray you,
but someway or another they find away
to hurt you,
knowingly or unknowingly.
it really doesn't matter
because it hurts both ways
just about the same amount.
the one who always is like "i wouldn't do that"
watch they ass..or like "i love you too much to hurt you like that"
watch they ass too.. or "yo, you my nigga yo"
they be the main one trying to rap and holla at your love/girl....
Be aware at all times/..aka.. Dont trust no one.

Clae's and Keep's

Finally... Commonwealth has Clae's... (http://www.cmonwealth.com)

I have yet to try on a pair - Let alone see anyone up north with these kicks yet - But when I get the chance... It'll be the "Rollins," though I like the "Russell" as well.

I know in Chicago they carry em at LEADERS 1354 (duh, best store ever), and I'm willing to bet at UNTITLED too, but most likely the N. Clark St. one, cause I was just at the one in Evanston and didn't see any... Then again, I wasn't looking for Clae's. (I was looking for Keeps.)

Speaking of, I made a new friend Saturday. I was at a party and my ace's cousin instantly decided she wanted to be my friend cause I was wearing Keeps. Work for me! I mean, I don't remember the girl's name but... hey.

Keep's (http://www.keepcompany.com) are pretty much sneaks specifically for girls. They make apparel and accessories too, though I haven't ventured that far. My fav pair are "The Ramos" models... cause those are the ones I got at UNTITLED! Yay! Anyway, they are usually canvas sneaks, and nice cause they don't have the bulk of a lot of other unisex kicks. Even still, they have high tops, flats, and everything in between.


("The Ramos" model! Mine are black... but the back is diff).

A major pet peeve of mine is girls who wear kicks with skirts. 95% percent of the time the shoes are too clunky for all that, and 3% your feet are too damn long to be doing that. I can safely say that Keep's could and should be worn as the sneak to fit the skirt. (I generally hate skirts, but to each his own... er, "her" own.)

Plea to Mrs. Obama

Cheers for my new pres-elect ;; it's majorly refreshing to have someone who not only looks like me, but is from where I'm from (regionally, politically, social-economically, etc).

The winds of change are a'blowin'.

His speech on the 4th was fantastic (as was McCain's, assuming that it was from his close-to-cardiac-arrest heart), and I felt a swelling sense of pride as I watched the first black family enter onto the stage: Obama, his daughter's Malia Ann and Natasha, and then... WTF?? is Michelle Obama wearing?!



Ordinarily I would try my hardest to rebel against agreeing the opinions of others, but I have admit: most people I've talked to feel very passionately about this dress... the same sort of passion the KKK probably feels about this whole situation.

If I've ever hated anything in my life...

What's a little comforting about my decline into the public general consensus is that EVERYONE hates that thing, giving me more faith in the fashion-challenged members of our country... and less in Mrs. Obama's impending first-lady fashion threads.

The hideous thing was regurgitated out of the mind of Narciso Rodriguez - a designer whom I generally don't despise - based on the 2009 Spring collection and probably cost at LEAST a thousand buckaroos.



HOPEFULLY because it's only WINTER 2008, those two were just extremely fashion forward and all of us spectators will stop griping and fall in love with the outfit after the New Year... but I doubt it.

Something like a black widow spider comes to mind when my eyes wander haphazardly onto those garbs - a term even more unnerving considering how paranoid I am that Obama may not make it to January 20th.

Mrs. Obama, I still love you. I forgive you. It's been a long campaign, and this has been the only real fashion discrepancy that I've felt horrible enough to comment on. But I beg of you, not only as an American, but as a person who is not visibly-handicapped... don't ever in your life do that again.

And oh, "congratulations."

Kicks and Coats

So the Kidd was breezing through SF (http://www.sneakerfreaker.com/) and what should she see...



SUPRA SKYTOP...
The kicks were built for Chad Muska (Ohio-based professional skateboarder and entrepreneur). Brushed suede and zebra print...

Now ya'll know I love me some animal-print. So what do I gotta do to get these?

The lowest I've seen them priced at have been $95 and some change... (hit eBay)... but I'm sure if you know someone or have a nice rack, you can get 'em for cheaper. Who knows.

This year so far I have been very pleased with Erik Ellington, more so than in the past.

Shoes are just gettin weird now... Bogus...

I know CRs have been looking a little old lately, as that tends to happen when people don't know how to properly wear shit.

But, fellas, go ahead and do you. I'm pretty much off the CR tip though once the whole world got on.

LADIES...
Looking for that new winter look?

Too bad. There is hardly such a thing as "new ideas."

Fashion is redundant - at least in the Chi - 'cause it's getting around coat-wearing time...
I know times are hard; money's tight, just like your waist-bands (work out, bitch).

Instead of buying eighty-five coats and then going into debt (again), accessorize.

For nice, long wool coats or other belted clothing... switch up the belts. (DUH).
Who told you that you have to stick to the the simple piece that came with it?

Plus, ya'll all know that your mama has some bogus-lookin-ass outfit that is in good condition but you wouldn't be caught dead in. Big Mama's been tryna hand that off to you for years...

Chop n' screw that bitch! - the outfit, not Mama Dukes.

Take a sewing class (or just "wing it") and turn it into whatever. It's not hard.

I had a Famous Stars and Strap shirt that got fucked in the wash... Once I find it, I'll put a pic up here. But I made a bag out of it. And what's even more refreshing than something new to put all my shit in... No One Else Is Going To Have My Cops.

Be original.

That's what it's all about, right?

Soul Singer...

Erica Abi Wright (born February 26, 1971), in Dallas Texas, but better known by her stage name Erykah Badu. In her early youth, she decided to change the spelling of her name from Erica to Erykah, as she firmly believed her original name to be her 'slave' name. The term 'kah' signifies the inner self, which, when translated from Arabic, means 'can do no wrong'. Early in her career, Badu was recognizable for wearing very large and colorful headwraps. By 2000, Badu was in a romantic relationship with fellow Soulquarian Common, and "Love of My Life (An Ode to Hip-Hop)" was released as a collaboration between the two on the Brown Sugar soundtrack. Badu's lyrics are highly personal philosophies which throw emotional challenges in the face of the listener. She weaves unusual musical influences together creating a rich texture of sound. In many instances she references old school rappers and songs in her songs, adding a general Hip hop sensibility to her music.

LUPE x ''leaving the game.......

Wasalu Muhammad Jaco, known as Lupe Fiasco. Is one of the most lyrical rappers in this time in my eyes, is planning a early retirement." Lupe Fiasco says over the phone, explaining why he plans to leave the game of recording music soon. "A lot of the stuff that I want to say musically, it has a limit. You can't compress and process certain things into 16 bars or a song." He says that he plans to leave after he drops his 3rd and last album, witch is already written in his own words. Is it another stunt for the public eye...?? or is he being honest and leaving the game respectably.......Guess we'll have to wait and see.

High End fashion...

As we all know, most if not all our high end fashion comes from overseas. For example Italy produces most of them. One of them that stands out alittle is Gucci. Created by a guy named Guccio Gucci. Founded in 1921, and didnt really get going or hit its peek until alittle later in 1938. In 1938 he opened a small boutique in Rome. Now Guccio has one of the most prestigious and well known brands in the world. This is now the most selling Italian brand sold in the world.

But when it comes to it, Louis Vuitton takes the cake. ''LV'' shortened created the brand, it is a French produce and main headquarters are located in France and Pari. LV is the first biggest selling brand in the whole world. It is also one of the oldest luxury fashion houses beginning in 1854.
