Marc Ecko - Star Wars
"just blaaaaaaze"
Apparent Marc Ecko is a Star Wars freak.
He's dropping a Star Wars Collection and these items are inspired by the Storm Trooper and Boba Fett. Not really my thing, but i'm sure someone out there is drooling and rubbing their lenses.

Music To My Ears
Music that has been the talk around my block lately...
ARTIST: Raphael Saadiq
ALBUM: The Way I See It
RELEASE: SEPT. 16
From Tony Toni Tone to doing records with The Roots, DJ Quik or Snoop, Raphael Saadiq has always remained relevant. He's kept something consistent even though his shit doesn't always sound the same. He just makes good music. This time around the sound is Motown rather than Uptown. The Way I See It features the single "Oh Girl" (which I had on my own myspace page for a few weeks) and the Remix with Jay-Z. Its in stores now and you can take a listen to the tracks on his MySpace Page>>>
ARTIST: Robin Thicke
ALBUM: Something Else
RELEASE: SEPT. 30
Growing Pains and all...Robin returns with Something Else. A second LP to most of us but actually his third. Back in the days when he was wheeling thru the city on the bike with the long hair people kinda slept. You got familiar on the platinum-selling Evolution of Robin Thicke but Something Else cements Robin as a force to be reckoned with. Alas, not the R&B about a girl's ass or about tossing paper in the club, He just croons the tunes that makes the ladies swoon (i wrote that). You can preview the entire album on MySpace if you hurry>>>

Benjamin Bixby
“People feel like, just because you like to dress well … that don’t mean you’re gay! I don’t know where that came from! My thing is the 1930s you had rough guys who played football, but they were impeccably dressed. So now, if a guy wants to wash his face, they call him a metrosexual or whatever. So my thing is, cut all that out. You know? It’s clothes!”
-Andre 3000 on his line BENJAMIN BIXBY
BE CLEAR: This post should have been up long ago.
I was thinking that I needed some more fashion content on the page today and I also have been wanting to post more Andre 3000 stuff. This served both purposes. When I found the quote from, it all fit together. I am going to a place in my mind where I am becoming more self-aware and I would like to wear that on my sleeve. Women's fashion is about creating characters while men's fashion is about defining character. Women play with different eras or they are styled like certain fashion icons, while fellas wear clothes that reflect who they are or so they try to. For a guy it would be easy for the clothes to make you, but then there are guys like Dre, who make the clothes. Not even in the most literal sense (I'm saying, he is designing Benjamin Bixby but i mean this figuratively). I want to be one of those men. Clothing still defines character but I feel I can do that by choosing what characters I portray.
Does that make sense?
I envy women that. They can dress up in so many ways, guys have to abide by a certain code of 'no homo'. Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to begin wearing dresses but I do feel that there are parts of a man's character that aren't shown in the clothing he wears these days. I gotta get to that.

Hump Day Hottie - Kiyo!
This one hits close to home. Literally. This chick was like my step sister's best friend in Junior High. I had the biggest crush on her but the smallest amount of game so needless to say I never bagged her. I had mom dukes bake her cookies on valentine's day one year. REMEMBER THAT?! Anywho, All grown up with a bachelor's degree and singing career budding, she's got so much promise.

Booji (but not broke)
This is the Regal-One by Booji. Its designed by JB Classics co-designer, MDot. Booji was spawned from her desire to see more originality within women's footwear collections. The Regal-One is only the first drop from Booji. I hope to see what more MDot is planning. Its comes with the natty side-purse and quilting like the lining of a goose. Don't be afraid. Befriend the Booji>>>>
how you gon' say I ain't no 'Lo Head!
Fall Starts Today
Ralph Lauren gets off to a good start with the Fall 2008 Collection. The Rugby look is looking real studious. If you OD'd on street wear this summer like most of the game did and you wanted to stay ahead of the curve this could be a new direction for you. I been heavy into sweaters and cardigans for a minute so I like the classic School Boy look but they delve into the 20's Ivy League shit. RL Does it well.
peep.

Gossip post
I usually don't do this type of shit cuz the rest of the blogging world does it. I'm not the gossip blogger type. I just post shit I like or things I think are funny. This is the latter of the two, obviously.
I think Jay is growing facial hair.
the first thing i think of is "Ether" and hearing Nas say, "You no mustache having...with whisker like a rat//Compared to beans you wack!"

Hump Day Hottie - Alisa Reyes
For those of you born in the 80’s and raised in the 90’s this could be really good. You remember SNICK on Nickelodeon? You remember that little sketch/variety show called “ALL THAT”? Well, I always had a crush on the little Puerto Rican chick on that show. I actually happened to be wrong, she’s not Puerto Rican. She’s Spanish, Irish, and Italian. She’s all grown up now, too. Quite nicely. And I feel like a kid again.
