Diesel Black Gold S/S 2010

Ok, all the people that know me realize that I love Diesel. I haven't been a fan of the black gold collect though, but this one is pretty dope. Found at Denimblog

Paranormal Activity II

I'm not going to lie; I thought Paranormal Activity was 3rd best horror movie last year behind The Fourth Kind and Drag Me To Hell(my favorite movie of 09 BTW). Grant it, I didn't go see Antichrist which I was extremely pissed about. I was excited when I saw that the next one is due out around Halloween like the Saw franchise, but I became instantly upset when they said that the Saw VI director was doing it. I'm sorry, but I don't care how good people said that the sixth installment of the worst franchise in history was I didn't go see it nor will I be in a good mood watching the next Paranormal Activity because of it.

Armani and Reebok

If this is the Armani X Reebok collab, you can tell they are targeting the snowboarders a bit. I am a fan of the black high tops, but I'm not so excited about the bright neon green high tops though. Check out the whole Emporio Armani collection at GQ

Taylor Momsen and Cosmopolitan

Taylor Momsen of Gossip Girl poses for Cosmo in some pretty great outfits. She's only 17, but she has the potential to be a force once she gets older. I just hope her style isn't fake because as of right now it doesn't look like it. Check out the other photo at Denimology

Affliction Sneakers

Revolve asked a simple question on twitter which went something like how do feel about pre-distressed sneakers? I thought it was going to be something horrible when I saw affliction because I'm definitely not a fan, but I like these. Pre-distressed converse style shoes have been around for a bit though; I mean look at John Varvatos converse's. I like the Affliction sneakers, but I don't love them. I might consider buying them because $70 is very reasonable.





P.S. I just noticed the studds. No thanks lol. I see a lot of studds at...

Reebok and Emporio Armani

Reebok and Armani are going to collab which is big in my opinion. My favorite collaboration is Puma and Alexander McQueen. Not going to lie, Adidas and Yohji Yamamoto(Y-3) is definitely not a favorite of mine. Apparently, the line will debut at Milan Fashion week on January 16th. The line will officially drop in select stores around July 2010. Check out the article at HighSnobiety.

Renzo Rosso

Just finished reading the Q&A with Renzo Rosso of Diesel, my favorite brand/line. I really do love Diesel. The Q&A was conducted by Details.

The Denim Leggings

Ok, so I made my rounds this morning checking out my favorite blogs first Denimblog and Denimology, and they both had something in common which was this article posted on The Daily Beast called The Trend from Hell by Rebecca Dana. The article was basically a few paragraphs bashing Denim Leggings a.k.a. Jeggings a.k.a. Treggings(something new I learned today) seen on Heidi Montag below made by 7 for all Mankind, and she looks absolutely amazing in them. I used to not like her, but I think she's amazingly beautiful, and I like her style








I just don't agree with Rebecca Dana. She just sounds like someone bitter because they didn't look good on her, and she had to mention Harem pants which I just don't even want to go there. I've seen girls with them on, and they look fabulous in them. I've even asked girls how they like them because I wanted to get my girlfriend some, and I heard nothing but wonderful things about them. I just don't get it. Check out the article at The Daily Beast

The Goodness

I was surfing the web looking at websites and blogs, and I came across this gem on Details. Neal Pollack wrote about research done by Oxford University scientists on why women shouldn't trying to be losing fat, but should be trying to store fat in and I quote,"their thighs, hips, and ass." I, instantly, thought to myself that this is something black men known from the beginning of time. Yea, I said it; we knew this the whole time and encouraged our black women to keep that plumpness. We revolutionized it to the extent that white women want the plumpness not to mention the underwear with pads in it designated for women lacking in the derriere. There are even athletic shoes designed to work the derriere as my friend Tyler said, "had to be created by a black man." Can we get some credit please? Check out the full article at here.

Spider-Man Franshise: Part III

Well, I think sony is off to a good start with the whole director angle. Evidently, they are approaching the (500) Days of Summer and Darkman director Marc Webb which would be a good idea considering he is talented; I mean (500) Days of Summer was my third favorite movie last year. I'm still a little scared with casting though. I don't care what director you have if you don't have at least a talented or just not a cheezy looking cast. Check out Deadline for the full article by Mike Fleming.

Fly Disk

I got bored, so I decided to make something lol.

Versace Spring 2010 Campaign

Oh my, this was a very dope campaign shot from Versace. I am a huge fan of this. Paolo Anchisi and Georgia May Jagger are in the photograph, and it was take by Mario Testino. I discovered this at Fashionisto

Denim on Denim

I saw this interesting post on denimology.co.uk that links you to a piece on elle.com on how to wear denim with denim for ladies only of course; I mean it is elle. I like this look a lot on girls and guys. I wanted to buy a denim shirt/chambray, but it is just way too trendy right now. I might by one but only wear it seldomly. Who knows? Check out the article at Elle

Adriano Goldschmied

Adriano Goldschmied is straight crushing the game right now. At least for me, they are.





These are on Rachel Bilson. I was sort of a fan of her's in the OC days. The post was on Denimology.co.uk

Supra Skytop II

Ok so just to clarify, I'm not a Supra fan by any means. I do have some levi high tops that look like Supra's which is as far as I've gone to getting a pair. My manager would probably consider firing me for making this statement lol. But these Supra Skytop II's are pretty dope to me.





Especially these

Spider-Man Franchise Part: II

Well apparently, the reboot has already been written which means that the supposed 5th & 6th reported scripts that were to be written together were the reboots for probably the 1st and 2nd movie. Another speculation would be that they were going to can the entire cast and production team regardless with the report that they were going to reboot the franchise on the summer of 2012. They probably sabotaged the production of the 4th film to get an early start on the reboot. I am pretty upset that they want to go in the direction of no names because of the standard the movies set critically and economically. It will either be absolutely amazing or a total bust. Evidently, they want to attract the younger crowd(the twilight crowd), and they want to make us pay extra(3D) for a mediocre-at-best movie. Will I give them my money? Probably because I am a Spider-Man fan. I can't be absolutely certain about how I feel about what's happening until I see who's directing, and who will best casted for the movie. Article that has more information about the new direction http://tinyurl.com/y8pzncf


P.S. The whole Venom movie that they have been talking about makes sense now. I'm like they killed Venom why make a movie discussing him because he had a very non existent role. The reboot with the Venom movie(only rumors) would make sense but doesn't ease the mind.

Spider-Man Franchise

So, Sony decided to scrap the Spider-Man 4 movie and reboot the entire franchise. First of all, I think it is idiotic to annoy Sam Raimi who has done a good job(except for the 3rd movie). They wanted so bad to have a big name in Anne Hathaway and 3D because of Avator, and the script was not what Raimi had in mind. The whole thing was all over the place. I think the reboot will not be as good because they set such a high standard considering how beautiful the first two movies were and the box office success the 3rd movie had. Well, there is a bright side; the last movie was so horrible people might want to see a different take on the franchise. I just don't think it's possible to do better than what Raimi did unless Sony listens to the fans with the whole James Cameron idea, but I still don't think it will be as good as Raimi's take; it might be more visually appealing though.

Converse: United Bamboo

Oh my, I need these in my life. These are simply sexy. That's pretty much all I have to say about the matter lol.

Daybreakers

This is a movie review for the movie Daybreakers starring Ethan Hawke(Training Day), Willem Dafoe(Spider-Man, Antichrist, Fantastic Mr. Fox), Sam Neil(Jurassic Park, Event Horizon), and Claudia Karvan.

If you have seen the trailer then you should probably understand that this is yet another vampire movie amongst the countless vampire movies or TV shows in this very vampire trendy period of time. The idea for this movie is that vampires are the norm and humans are becoming an endangered species. A blood corporation headed by Charles Bromley(Sam Neil) starts monopolizing blood because humans are hard to find and the supply of blood that they have is getting slimmer and slimmer. He calls upon Edward Dalton(Ethan Hawke), who is pretty much his chief scientist, to construct a blood substitute, so he can sell the blood substitute at a cheap price and the human blood at a premium price. Edward Dalton has an abundance of trouble of trying to construct this substitute. A car accident with Audrey Bennett(Claudia Karvan), a human, changes his life forever. Realizing that he saved her life and, that he's a scientist, she thinks that he can be trusted then introduces him to Lionel "Elvis" Cormac(Willem Dafoe) who is sort of the leader of a pack of humans that has to hide. What Elvis tells Edward is that they have found a way to become human again. Edward helps the humans find a way to harness this cure and this is where all the fun begins(a figure of speech).

This movie tremendously falls apart with trying to do too much. I loved how the Spierig brothers depicted how life would be if vampires ruled the world from coffee with blood, video mirrors, cars with cameras and sun blocking windows for day time driving, and how Edward Dalton smoked all the time because he couldn't die; not to mention, human blood served in wine bottles. The idea got lost in the midst of ridiculous gore and the fact that it couldn't make up it's mind of what type of movie it wanted to be. Every time they would have a good idea going they would ruin it with trying to scare you or they would ruin it with having a ridiculously gory event happen. At first it was tolerable, it soon became tiresome and annoying. I will give the movie a lot of credit though because with all these vampire movies and TV shows out there, the movie had a pretty original and smart thought. The movie is sort of a good time, but the bad parts of this movie, for me, just could not be ignored.

I give this movie a 47/100.
