I took a big step in setting of the new year properlike.

The Internets Celebrities were meeting up to shoot a little film tentatively titled ‘Stop Being Racist Internets!’

You can’t really say you doing it with only one pair on.

ACTION BRONSON: Imported Goods…

imported goods

Here’s a video from Action Bronson I should have posted here a while back. Action Bronson has had an official visual presentation for himself this year.

I only expect major moves from Bronson and the whole Outdoorsmen clique in the new year. Rap music is coming back to being about actual lyrics and rhymes again. Thank God.

Chocolate Snowflake’s Winter Wonderland…

Thursday, December 30th, 2010

During the blizzard of 2010 Chocolate Snowflake and I found some time to play around in the snow.

We went post-holiday shopping at my favorite store (Marshall’s, natch) and found her a pair of boots for the rest of the winter.

Cablevision went down in her apartment building so I couldn’t spend anytime on the internets. C.S. took the opportunity to get me out of the house.

We walked down Eastern Parkway which was reduced to a one lane traffic strip. Snowfall doesn’t stop the birds or the graf artists.

C.S. took me to the movies where we saw this documentary called ‘Inside Job’. Don’t go see that movie if you still think Obaama is any different from Bush I or II. He’s not. Dude was bought and sold from way back. We haven’t even begun to pay down on the debt that the financial industrial complex has put on our heads.

On Monday night Chocolate Snowflake took me to a play in midtown Manhattan called ‘Black Nativity Now‘. It was a cornbread circuit production full of dancing and praise sanging, as opposed to a chitlin circuit play which is filled with cooning and tomfoolery.

While the city was a mess and it would be several days before it could dig itself out from the snow, C.S. and I kept it moving. Offline but on our grind.

Rugby Lifestyle Remix…

I’m sad that Rugby won’t let people buy their patches anymore. Hyper-exclusive retailing is the aspiration of poor people attempting to be middle-class… Looking.

I’m glad that I bought my patches years ago and started the trend. I’ve been sitting on a pile of patches and a pile of knits copped from Marshall’s on the come up.

I figured I could marry a few I.T.s with DP.com as the congregation [ll]…

Internets. You need to have several colorway programs to be fully lifestyle. The PRL sport red is basic swag that you can rock all year around if you are a lifestyler from Florida to Texas. This knit was reduced from $34.99 down to $27.00 at first clearance. In all honesty I usually don’t copp from Marshall’s until second clearance or less than $25 bucks. The Rugby patch is funky. That cost me $12 on a sale at the store.

The African tailor on Washington is a good dude. I overpay him with a dub for applying the patch, but I make him do some fly shit to make the patch really popoffavitch. Cross check, outline the numerals and put this material in between the shirt and the patch.

This material gives the patch a nice puffy (no Last train To Paris) look and the material also picks up the sweat from you big sweat-back lifestylers [ll].

The next I.T. is actually a short sleeve rugby knit. Most of you know that the classic Polo short sleeve is fashioned after a polo match knit? This Polo is a rugby shirt. Crosshatched stitching re-inforced shoulder yoke. Marshall’s first retail price was what? $24.99?!? I’m gawn innnnnnnn!

Even tho’ I’m no Yankee fan I can top off this I.T. with the classic navy fitted on some school uniform shit.

The blue/grey program would get officially murderated if I copp the Air Jordan XI ‘Cool Greys’. BONG!

Got Rugby?

Wednesday, December 22nd, 2010

rugby

I bought this Rugby brand rugby several years ago.

Ralph Lauren’s bridge line is where I go to buy patches to put on my R.L.Polo blue label I.T.’s. The Rugby line is cut a little too slim in the barrel for my tastes, but this mallard graphic sweater is the business.

This is classic R.L.Polo blue label designs. Suede elbow patches?!? Say word Rugby? I see you.
