More London Games Lifestyle…
Wednesday, April 25th, 2012
My Brit homey Mr.Blister sent me a kite telling me that the Olympics were in Londontown again after the 1924 Olympiad. The 1948 Summer Games was the return of the Olympics to England.
Knowing Ralph Lauren’s asPirations like I do I thought I’d look thru some of the flicks from the 1948 Olympics to see if he cribbed some of his graphic details from the outfits worn during that time.
Sure enough Ralph Lauren found inspiration from Dutch sprinter Fanny Blankers-Koen’s (also known as ‘the Flying Housewife’) bib numbers.
The 1992 plates series is one of the indisputable GOATs for lifestyle collectors. The tee shirts, rugbys and button downs fetch several hundred dollars apiece. The windbreaker jackets are my favorites.
Chariots Of Fire Lifestyle…
Friday, April 20th, 2012
Polo Ralph Lauren’s aspirations for combining the imagined gentility of European and American nostalgia will reach its logical zenith at the 2012 London Olympiad.
Taking the design cues from the flapper days of the 1920s and coincidentally the last time the Olympics were played in London (1924), the ultimate Americana fashion label will be supplying the uniforms for the USA athletes.
The newsboy caps are pretty dope but the sickest I.T. in this series might be the sunglasses.
Of course there are sweatshirts and short sleeved knits on tap which are must cops for all of us intent on living the ‘Lo lifestyle.
This run isn’t matching the intensity of the 1992 games series of clothing which remains top acquisition status on most collector’s holy grail lists. Still, there are pieces in this run that will rep the lifestyle for you in years to come.
I wonder if the Dan and Dave ‘Chariots Of Fire’ tees will be retro’d for these Summer Games?

Fear Of A Black Planet…
Monday, March 26th, 2012
I’m still a little depressed from the Trayvon Martin tragedy. I’m depressed that the info recyclers haven’t requested the proper information from the authorities and just the fact that the wheels of justice move so slowly for Black males.
The police chief has decided to resign temporarily while the case is investigated by the federal government. I’m hoping that the police will be charged as criminals in this case as well.
The notion that a statement of self-defense prevents an arrest is inconceivable. Maybe a self-defense argument might stand up in a trial, but there is no way you can avoid being ARRESTED, and drug or alcohol tested. Unless you are a police officer and even then they have to answer to internal affairs after several days.
These police were fucked the fuck up from the gate. They hid Trayvon’s cellphone and didn’t perform any due dilligence at the murder scene. These Sanford Florida police are criminals themselves and should not be allowed to keep their badges. But the officers are still just cogs in a system of supremacy.
The system of supremacy is what makes all young Black teenagers into criminals. George Zimmerman and the Sanford police are unwitting supremacists. They didn’t create this system of social unjustice but they bought into it and they will bear the brunt of its failings. Them and Trayvon Martin.
