Rub this stream of STEVIE WONDER all over your body and then tell me you don’t want to come out 2nite and celebrate life with dance?

Stevie Wonder (born Stevland Hardaway Judkins on May 13, 1950, name later changed to Stevland Hardaway Morris) aka Stevie Wonder

$tapleCrop$ curated this STEVIE WONDER music stream and they designed this tee featuring STEVIE’s signature and thumbprint as the graphic. I have a whole bunch to give away to the folks coming to the party tonight. Let me know your shirt size and I will have one waiting for you. Peep the designs below.

If you can’t make it to the party hit me on the e-mail with the titles of the songs in this stream and you get yourself a free shirt.

Let’s Get Married…

I can’t think of a more vapid, devoid of romance song than this Jagged Edge remix featuring Run-DMC. This is the kind of jam that two people in their fifties might sing to each other after leaving the liquor store with a fifth of the sponsor(E & J Brandy) in the plastic bottle. The song sure is catchy though…

Thank goodness my folks didn’t play that song once during their reception this weekend. My good friend, DJ Dr.Phillgoode made an honest woman of Dr. Tanya. Believe it or not, but one of them is really a doctor. The ceremony was held at the incredible Bedford Stuyvesant landmark Akwaaba Mansion.

I was running late for the festivities because I didn’t arrange my outfit until the last minute. It turned out that everything I wanted to wear is still at the dry cleaners. The dry cleaners is the OG storage for poor folks like myself. I hope my shit is still there when I go to pick it up this week.

I ended up in a corduroy suit looking like a dude who needed some February in his life. As always I had the lifestyle all over my body. I love my collection of bear ties. I have these in four different colors. I decided to pull out some classic cookie boot mocassins. There wasn’t too much dancing at this wedding so I was spared the sight of me having myself soaked through. I can’t wait for the winter to come back around so I can wear this outfit again.

Where Are You Yeezy?!?

As I walked my favorite retail sneaker corridor – West 34th Street, I chopped it up with some of the sneaker fiends thatr had been camped out for several days in anticipation of the latest release of NIKE’s Air Yeezy sneakers.

To say the least the conversations and interactions were fun. These dudes and dudettes(who knew?) are the reason why I keep collecting my shoes. At the end of the day it is all for the love of rubber and leather. These folks got sole.

When I read this article about 21 polo ponies being killed mysteriously I immediately knew who the culprit was.

Ralph Lauren been killing them ponies!

This summer season I am going to keep my ‘Lo collection crispy as always with a few of these bangers.

This knit pictured above has a spring jacket in the same colorway with the colorblocking on some horizontal shit as opposed to diagonally. The two together look official as if you were on your way to competing in a match.

The super gem in the spring offering is the redesigned RL Yacht Club windbreaker. This is a MUST HAVE I.T. if you are into the lifestyle like I am. The construction and details are all vintage Ralph Lauren and the patch on the back is what sealed the deal for me. I’m trying to hunt this joint down seriously. Any tips [ll] where to come up on this I.T. would be greatly appreciated.
