Logo Overload?

2011-01-18T11:37:00.000-08:00

During Louis Vuitton's SP11 men's runway show back in June '10, Marc Jacobs collaborated with tattoo artist Scott Campbell to ink THE Vuitton monogram onto the models. The Vuitton monogram is timeless and classic, and these tattoos are truly fun especially with the sizes and locations on models. You have to be a real fanatic to put these tattoos onto your own skin in real life. You can't call yourself the Louie Vuitton Don if you don't have these on you.

Fast forward 6 months, one of the first true fanatics of the famous Vuitton brand has surfaced on the 'net. He takes Louie Vuitton leather to a new meaning!

Rag & Bone x Timberland Boot Company – Debut Collection Launch | Event Recap

2010-10-29T16:39:00.000-07:00

rag & bone has to be one of my favorite brands. The brand represents luxury comfort with styles you can not resist. With a theme of British explorers this season, rag & bone, they have launched a set of boots in collaboration with Timberland. With Timberland's outdoor reputation, I find this collabo a perfect match. A collection of boots that are luxurious, comfortable, durable and fashionable. I am normally a Chuck Taylor type of guy living in California, but this collection makes me wanna pick up one pair and run into the imaginary pile of snow in my front porch.

Silent by Damir Doma SS11

2010-09-29T15:04:00.000-07:00

The perks of living in Los Angeles is the warm (occationally too warm) weather year around, and the best piece of clothing suitable for this type of weather are t-shirts and thin garments that you can layer.

This is Silent by Damir Doma. Doma uses organic materials for all pieces, and it's the dark simplicity pieces that draws my attention. The SS11 collection is full of wearable pieces that everyone will find simple yet carefully planned and design. Everyone from eco-friendly-Prius-driving man to a slub like me will enjoy Silent.

Who Dat in the awesome tuxedo?

With that white sneaker, I've officially become hip.

No one man should have all that power

What's your limit of brand loyalty?

2010-08-03T16:48:00.000-07:00

I am sure everyone has some sort of brand loyalty. Form me, I prefer Nikes when it comes to athletic sneakers, and Tide as my choice of laundry detergent. However, Nike has really puzzled me this time.

Did Nike recently buy a Crocs OEM factory or something? I am truly confused and disgusted.

Sony NEX-5 is small, really really small (video)

2010-05-11T16:21:00.000-07:00

Sony NEX-5 is small, really really small (video):

What started back in 2008 has become a glorious trend: stuffing DSLR-sized sensors into compact camera bodies. First it was Olympus and Panasonic with its Micro Four Thirds standard followed recently by Samsung's NX10. Now Sony is flexing its digital imaging muscle with the introduction of its own compacts sporting APS-C-sized sensors and interchangeable glass. Both CNET and LetGoDigital already have previews of the NEX-5 -- the 'world's smallest and lightest interchangeable lens digital camera' according to Sony. And by the looks of that comparison shot above with Olympus' diminutive PEN E-PL1, we're guessing that's a pretty accurate assessment. CNET was particularly stoked by the 'aggressively priced' pre-production NEX-5 it took for a spin. Although the camera's not without faults -- quirky UI and controls (hey, it's Sony!), inconsistent autofocus, lack of electronic viewfinder, and a general lack of manual controls -- CNET found the NEX-5 to be 'fairly fast' with 'really quiet' lenses for both zooming and focusing. Most importantly, it judged the photo quality and noise profile to be 'really good' while producing 'sharp' 1080/60i AVCHD video. Mosey on through the break for CNET's video preview of the NEX-5 and then hit up the source link for some sample photos and a good spec-by-spec comparison of the NEX-5 with its micro format competition.

I WANT ONE but it will cost about $700 :(

Find Your Love by Wheelchair Jimmy

2010-05-11T13:06:00.000-07:00

In case you didn't know, Wheelchair Jimmy is releasing one of the most anticipated albums other than Kanye West's Good Ass Job. Below is his 2nd single leading to his new album Thank Me Later, and it is produced by non other than Beyonce supporter #2 (where Jay-Z is numero uno.) IMO, it's good to hear a new song by Kanye without the played out autotune.

On the other subject, I notice Drake wearing a T by Alex Wang french terry crew neck. Does this mean Alex Wang has gone Hip Hop mainstream?

A truly bloody summer is here...

The goats are baaaahk!

2010-04-16T13:08:00.000-07:00

The goats are baaaahk!: "Last year, in our quest to minimize our carbon footprint (and keep people on their toes), we turned to an unlikely solution for mowing an overgrown field: goats. More than 200 goats from California Grazing have once again arrived at our Mountain View headquarters where they’ll stay for over a week chomping away on grassy goodness. The cost of bringing in the goats is comparable to hiring lawn mowers for the same job and the green benefits are clear: the goats eliminate mower emissions, reduce noise pollution, restore plant species and fertilize while grazing.

Don’t worry, we’re not going to be in the business of chèvre anytime soon, but in the meantime we’re having a lot of fun watching our new colleagues.

Posted by Dan Hoffman, Director of Real Estate and Workplace Services for NorCal, and Chief Goat Herder

Above is what Google did to their Campus in Nor Cal. To be more green, instead of hiring lawn mowers, they got goats to do the business. A very interesting way to help the planet I must say.

Does that mean I will be seeing more and more herds of cows and goats on the side of So Cal freeways eating away grass to prevent the annual Wild Fire Extravaganza??

SSUR x Kid Robot Black - "From the Cradle to the Grave” Vinyl Skull

2010-04-14T16:27:00.000-07:00

This is a vinyl "toy" I don't mind owning. It's creepy and fun IMO. It's quite inspiring to say the least.

Just hang 'em up, 'Sheed

Jason Markk Sneaker Cleaner

2010-04-08T14:50:00.000-07:00

Ever since I was in 5th grade, I have been fascinated with sneakers, Nikes in particular, and I wear 90% of my purchases even though I know once they hit the pavement, they'd depreciate in values. I have always been lazy to clean them after each wear, and that laziness made many of my sneakers semi dirty (that's the reason why I mainly wear Chucks now. Chucks ages with dirt on 'em)

I have been cleaning my closet lately, and I have finally realized $ > sneaker collection, therefore I am only keeping a few unworn pairs, and the not so sentimental ones are on their way out to eBay. Due to my above mentioned laziness, I need help to make these old shoes presentable on eBay, and this is when the Jason Markk Sneaker Cleaner comes into the picture.

The product name is quite straight forward, and hopefully I will be able to clean up a few pairs and post them here before I ship them to somewhere in Kansas.

Did Nike really do this?

2010-04-08T11:09:00.000-07:00

To prepare for Tiger Woods' comeback this weekend, Nike has churned up an ad that resurrects Woods' dead father to scold at him. Tiger looks emotionless, almost like a zombie. My guess is that the camera person was not a big breasted white female.

On another note, did he really approve this ad? Did he really dig up his old man's voice to resurrects his public image?

A Commie Mug

2010-04-07T16:25:00.001-07:00

This is a mug my dad's wife brought back for me from China. The wording roughly translates to "I'm searching real hard for my bride." What is my dad's wife implying?

The coolest and most lethal otaku I have seen

2010-04-01T12:17:00.000-07:00

This Japanese kickboxing champ could put some real hurt on you if you make fun of his other hobby. He's one cool otaku.

I want my 100 million dollars too!

2010-03-10T13:31:00.000-08:00

Actress/Party Goer/Drugged-Up lesbian Lindsay Lohan has filed a lawsuit against the online stock broker E*Trade for 100 millions dollars because of this Super Bowl commercial

Lohan claims that the "milkaholic" boy-chasing Lindsay is totally talking about her in the real life. Milkaholic = alcoholic and drug addict Lohan is, and been with boys in a discreet manner also applies to Ms Lohan. Lohan says her name Lindsay is like other one name celebrities such as Madonna and Oprah.

I know Lohan is on crack, but is she really that high and dumb enough to think she's that influential in the pop culture? What's next? City of Paris suing Paris Hilton on been a slut and trashing the name? Brooklyn Decker gets sued by the Borough of Brooklyn for been married to Andy Roddick?

This is straight ignorant on her and her PR Team (that's if she has one)

Anyway, whenever I see Lindsay Lohan, I think about this this line by Kanye (now this is a 1 name star! and hopefully Lohan doesn't know the existence of this song or Kanye is in trouble), "I Dont Need No Hands, To Know Lindsey Lohan, On The Same Program As Britney, Is You Wit Me?"
