These sneakers will be mine... They must be. Sneaky Steve Rodeo Shoe from Urban Outfitters. Payday cannot come soon enough...


UPDATE: There are also these contenders... from Double Identity, a London based streetwear line. Available at Seven NY. I'm going to buy one of these come payday. Which one should I buy?

UPDATE TO THE UPDATE: Another pair of Double Identity Sneakers. I'm in hi-top heaven. Also from Seven NY.

I've decided to make my song of the week- actually one song, each week. Whodathunk...

This week's song is care of the company that covers my feet half of the time... Converse. This song was created to mark the 100th anniversary of Converse. More about the song here.

"My Drive Thru" by NERD, Santogold and Julian Casablancas.

So a new contender for logo has arrived. It's two swashy "JL"s interlocked. I like it for it's symmetry, its simplicity of concept. It really has some great design potential too. Look at some business card designs I came up with in like 3 minutes:



And a back to the card too...

Fancy look, better clients... right?

After a few drinks everything gets confusing... but not this confusing*








*Awesome casting, though, the guy really looks like a woman (and walks like one too!) and the woman really just looks like a girly-model-man.

I heart Stereolab. They say you either love all of Stereolab, or nothing about them at all, and I have to say I'm one of the people who proudly love everything they come up with. So, on this delicious friday, enjoy my 20th song of the week theme, Stereolab*.

1."The Man with 100 Cells" by Stereolab
2."Excursions into Oh, A-Oh" by Stereolab
3."Space Moth" by Stereolab

(*These are my three favorite songs by them.)

Carly: I THOUGHT THE SAME THING!!!!
Did Matthew Fox get his faced buffed by a zamboni recently?

From Dlisted.

Are they marketing this to men? What is up with this commerical?

Update: Apparently there's an explanation for this. from the outside though, it just seems like a ridiculously stupid commerial. E for effort though.

I really want these shoes. Really badly.
$65.00 from Zuriick.

Loree: (links to that ^)
Loree: Amazing!

Me: That's a really gross looking baby

This week's theme is where I'm from by way of my parents... Haiti!
(Each artist on this list is from my home country, Haiti.)

2."Black Wave/Bad Vibrations" by Arcade Fire
3."Pa Manyen Fanm Man" (Don't Touch My Hand) by Sweet Micky
4."911" by Wyclef Jean

I really want to make a spell check t-shirt. I'm unsure of what misspelled (is "misspelled" misspelled?) word to use. In any event, it would be an opportunity to use times new roman in a good way. How about that. Gonna think about what word to use for a little while.
