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.
The bride is the Nice. That brother is a lucky man.
. . . I stay preparing clothes at the last minute. A str8 afterthought.
Lovely ‘Lo flow there…
I miss my cookie boots…
Ok, ok….now we’re talkin’. Swagga.
Had to toss them boots. My last were a whisker above socks in their final days. They had a max wear time of 2 hrs, 15 mins. At the 20 min mark, you could hear faint cries from the leather.
Still not scuurred though. Bryan (my stand in) still has a pair or 2…
Ascots>>>>>ties.
Too bad Ralphie doesn’t make a car vac, huh?
:0))))
No car vac!
ROTFLMAO!
The car is dirty from sneaker-fiendin’.
fuzzy wuzzy was a woman
Lo is classic……
yo…
statute of limitations, and all that
But did i see Dallas Penn in the lo-lifes trailer?
@Polotron….
I hear you – Seriously though. In all the shoes/kicks I’ve owned and still do, those boots are the only things I think I’ve worn to the wheels fall off other than my first pair of AJIV’s back in ’89. Even still those Lo boots were harder to flush away than Rudy Huxtable’s goldfish Lamont.
i like that tie…thats rare…my country’s are so dusty and i think one soul is on the lean but i cannot part with them. I have some bright green cp92 sneakers that are hella dusty and dont even fit right…i dont think they ever did but i cant get rid of those either. My all time fave was the hightop athletic department 93 chucks…those went in…i miss those sneakers like my exgirlfriend. Century 21 was the spot in the early nineties.
Polo,
You know I stays ridin’ derrrty.
Had the high top cookie boots and I gave them shits away in disgust. The dry goods box was crispy like the shoes. The RL footwear never comes with arch supports and a flatfoot dude (no Dick Tracy) like myself needs arch support.
As you might guess I have separation anxiety in general. There are about twenty pairs of kicks I need to chuck (no Converse). I haven’t worn Chuck T’s since high school. Them shits are notorious on a flatfoot brother.
Too funny on the flat feet. I tried to throw arch supports in mine once…I saw the outline of my toes. No good. Ralph was never a friend to the wide foot either. Boat shoes were almost disposable even. Early wears?shoes….subsequent wears? slippers. I won’t even go into the theory of the suede…just know they weren’t built for the city.
Tim could have taught Ralphie some things.

RIP Avalon. And shouts to Mike from that Lo team.
Kix look mean B.
Corduroy suit? In freakin May? Damn DP. You need to hit the cleaners ASAP and get yo shit out. Seriously. You coulda copped a quick linen outfit tho. Them shits going for no money nowaday, at least here in DC. I grab the linen pants for 25 bucks a pop all day…and you stay winning with the linen.
congrats to Dr. Tanya — Houston’s/Seattle/NYU’s finest!!!!!
corduroy ‘lo > $25 linen
even at a july 4 pool party.
Pause to people from NYC and “bear” ties.
