Random Homage: Been Gone For A Minute
Hello beautiful people!! I know I know. My posting has been a little inconsistent as of late. But there is a perfectly good reason for it. I’ve been traveling the world with Jay-Z and Beyonce as their personal photographer!!! No not really.I’ve actually just been in NYC introducing myself to new places, people, and things so that I would have plenty of things to blog about. In a nutshell, I took a vacation in my own city. I’ll be taking a few more vacations now that school is over, but I’ll do better with posting. I promise!! AND, as you can see, Matt and I are now on Twitter and we’ll use it to keep you all abreast of our interesting motions when actual posts are not an immediate option. Now on to the good stuff. This list is a bit longer than others because I’ve got so much catching up to do, but I promise you’ll enjoy it!!
Â
Â
1: Lauren London in Complex Magazine. This girl went from New-New to pretty much everywhere. She’s gorgeous and I’m going to take her out for dinner sometime in the near future. Watch me!!!
2: LateBoots is one of the best blogs running right now. They give me my daily dose of gossip, fashion, and its always fun following Sham and Marquis around while they live it up.
3:Â Ida Ljungqvist is the 2009 Playboy Playmate of the year. She’s definitely worthy of the award but she made history, being the 50th Playmate of the Year and the first to have been born in Africa!! She’ll be on my arm the day after I take Lauren London out.
4: J.Crew has free shipping for their children’s line, Crewcuts, now through May 31st!!! My beautiful children, Avery and Brook-lynn, will be celebrating their 2nd birthday on May 11th so this promotion couldn’t have come at a better time. If there are any little ones in your life, you know where to shop!!
5: Rick Ross is the man. His beard is perfect, his money is right, and his newest album, Deeper Than Rap is an instant classic. He bounced back like a round ball from his beef with industry bully, 50 Cent. Kudos Ross.
6: Sea is one of my favorite restaurants in Brooklyn. They now have a location in the Meat Packing District of Manhattan! I went for brunch the other day. Gotta love that Siamese fried rice.
7: Graphic tee-shirts are going to be a large part of my wardrobe this summer. I’ve already acquired a few from Brooklyn Circus but it’s only right that I explore other brands as well. I’ve got my eye on this 10 Deep tee with a graphic of Karl Lagerfeld on it!!
8: Converse Japan is so consistent with their footwear, it’s beginning to hurt my heart. Why does Japan get all the cool patterns and materials? Converse USA does well, but Japan is winning right now. Sigh. Guess I’ll see you all when I return from Japan.
9: It’s swimsuit time for V Magazine. And they blessed us all with more than one issue for the month. 6 issues with a different beautiful woman on each cover!!! It’s a recession but I’ve gotta have em all!!!
10: The second colorway of Nike Air Yeezy’s was released last Saturday. I haven’t gotten my hands on any pairs but these are too smooth for me to not say anything at all about them. Ye!! Wassup with my pair man?!! You’re gonna come running when the Air Nicky’s drop!!

Strapped Up And Ready To Go: Nike Air Yeezy And So On…
If you’re reading this, its safe to assume that your eyes are open. So that means you should be able to see that there seems to be a recent trend in footwear lately. It’s actually more of a reintroduction of a particular style. More and more brands are adding a strap of some sort to their footwear. At one point in the past, straps were only seen on basketball sneakers and cross trainers. This is no longer the case. Brands like Common Projects, Calvin Klein, Raf Simons, and Converse have been releasing some very smooth pairs of footwear that require little to no lacing at all for you lazy people out there who just like to get up and go. I personally am a very big fan of a good high top sneaker with straps but some of these brands have managed to crank out good looking low top sneakers that are strapped up as well. My favorite out of the bunch is the Nike Air Yeezy. By now, the hype surrounding these sneakers has made its way into a conversation you’ve had recently especially if it was with me. Kanye West’s signature Nike sneaker is scheduled to release in just a few hours folks. Yes that’s correct. Today. If you don’t have an idea of exactly how much hoopla there is for these sneakers let me paint you a picture even though I usually just snap em with my Canon. They are probably going to retail for about $200 but a pair sold on EBay for $1000 a few days ago. Common Wealth, a D.C. sneaker boutique, is not having a normal release of the Air Yeezy’s. They are raffling off chances to buy them. And Major, another D.C. boutique, is only getting one pair of each size and they are instructing people to come to the store at 9:30AM today to bid on pairs and the person with the most money will walk away with their very own pair of Yeezy’s. I don’t know about you, but if I can’t acquire a pair with ease and with the minimum amount of money required, my funds will be going towards another lens for my camera. Pick your passion wisely…
