the l word season 6 episode 2
i finally caught up after missing it this past weekend and oh em gee. this show is ridiculously twisted. if you’re like me and has watched the show ever since the very beginning, you’d be just as shocked as i am. Shane and Jenny????? together????? oh gosh, that’s a sheer sign that this show is indeed done. and um, Max (who’s FTM) is pregnant??? i wonder if he’ll be on...

kangay's LV shoes for women
don’t they kinda look like mice to you (just add the eyes and ears)? they look really looney. lol. i prefer the mens (of course).

And given that this is LV, the pricetag for this totally would not be worth it. I would still be on the fence on these even if they were only like 20 bucks.
smeh.

haha in continuation of bizao’s post of kanye’s gay posse, i had to post something that’s more pleasing to the eye (at least for me). more paris street fashion, and i think these are decent rather than “The Fruit Loops’” picture below.
more practical
love the scarf, the jacket & tee. think the supras throw it off. not crazy about zebra printed supras.

ps. i just finished watching this movie called Dance of the Dragon and had to share that i was so not pleased. very predictable, boring at times, and just so not fulfilling. maybe i expected something more judging from the poster below and the many accolades it has received, but i found myself saying “oh my god” to all the corny dialogue and...
smeh.
this video i just found makes me think he’s really gay, and much more of a loser. but oh wells.

Kanye West’s LV take on “Air Yeezys”

haughty literati - "marcus garvey on elocution" -...
Elocution means to speak out. That is to say, if you have a tale to tell, tell it and tell it well.
This I was taught.
To speak properly you must have sound and good teeth. You must have clear nostrils. Your lungs must be sound.
Never try to make a speech on a hungry stomach. Don’t chew your words but talk them out plainly. Always see that your clothing is properly arranged before you get on...

Obama is gangstaaaaa
Not only is he riding gangsta in his souped up limo called “The Beast”, he sported a bullet resistant suit at the Inauguration yesterday designed by Colombian designer Miguel Caballero. Caballero is known for making uber tough yet flexible business attire (ie. a $7,500 polo shirt that can stop a shot from a 9mm revolver). Given that crime is increasing at an alarming rate in Colombia...

Pedagogy of the Well-Dressed - 1/19
so the l word last night…..nothing special. its interesting to think that when the show first started and i was still in school, i thought it was the best thing on earth. i remember rushing back home to watch it over and over again. there wasn’t anything like it on television at the time. i still find it entertaining however the storylines are too crazy now and they kill the best...

Phillip Lim 2009 Spring Collection
New photos of Phillip Lim’s 2009 Spring Collection have been released. And I’m in love. I’m in awe of his use of vibrant (yet not overly flamboyant) colors. Love it and cannot wait for Spring.
I’m feeling the looser/comfortable fit.

let it rain/snow
so it rains and snows a lot here in ny. i need a new pair of rain/snow boots. i’m too poor to afford a pair of Hunters but i’m happy to have stumbled onto these!
Behold the Marsha Rain Boot by Jeffrey Campbell. AND only $62!!!! Hearts. Not gonna lie, i kinda think these look more sleak than Hunters.
Oh and for the snow, i need/want a pair of these. Rain boots won’t cut it on...

silly thing
Juno Mak. who knew a little hong kong popstar with very limited singing/dancing talent can form a decent clothing brand called Silly Thing. supposedly he comes from a very wealthy family (father is a big time HK record exec) which of course gives him major pull. i certainly give him cred for knowing being a popstar won’t take him that far to instead form his own brand that actually works.

things happen in random/odd ways
i cannot imagine being one of the 148 passengers on the plane. apparently the plane remained in the air for roughly 3 minutes before descending into the water. can you imagine what would go through your mind during those 3 minutes? so happy that all of them are out and safe.
i see the crash site right now through my window as the day turns to dusk. extremely grateful it did not hit our building...

ressbian newssss
So i’m sure ya’ll pumped as i am for the new season premiere of The L Word (despite how wacky the storylines have been). Being that this will be the last season, i’m glad to hear that there will be a spin-off show stemming after. The spin-off will follow Alice Pieszecki (played by Leisha Hailey) and a cast of characters (not all resbians). Apparently she goes to jail although it...

Pedagogy of the Well-Dressed - mmmmmm HUMöR me.
i’m SO over the whole streetwear craze as i think the market is increasingly getting more and more saturated with wack-ass designs. but i’m feeling this new collection by HUMöR (Denmark brand). it’s not boring, yet it’s not too crazy with flourescent colors.
pretty decent.

advertising can be cool
although i work in the ad industry, a lot of times creative ideas get lost and the execution turns out bland. BUT, doesn’t mean all advertising is lame.
The creative minds over at Sharpie know where it’s at, allowing graffiti artists (and enthusiasts) to deface public domain in a legal way with their interactive e-cast billboards. You can choose a variety of colors, write a...
