glowing dunks...

2008-10-23T05:57:00.005Z

it ain't just kanye who can do a glow in the dark tour ya know. and talking of customisation (see previous post), the stunnaz you see below are my "glow in the dark dunks", self-customised with my uv marker.
standard.

and it's temporary. basically, ultra violet light charges up glow in the dark shit like a mutha, so if you've got a nice little uv torch (like me), then you can effectively use it like a pen on glow in the dark surfaces/products.

i do hope to see you there in full force. peace and love.

currently called "oasis - together brothers", here's a sneak peak at what to expect...

2 for the money - o.c. & a.g.

the wackness...

2008-05-20T08:55:00.005Z

just watched the 3 teaser trailers for this film. not bad. if you're into golden age hip hop, then i think this will be a nice little indie film. i just hope they do the right thing, and make sure there's mad kicks from '94 featured.
really good soundtrack featuring all old classics; nas, biggie, raekwon, the biz, a tribe called quest, and of course, method man. i say of course as he's in the film as a jamaican drug dealer. now that'll be interesting...

watch the trailers here.

dropping in the uk on the 29th august.

married to the mob 4 life...

2006-12-19T06:24:00.000Z

in case all y'all biatches dunno bout the mob, here's the lowdown:
married to the mob was conceptualized on a hot sticky new york city day in summer 2004. sitting on her stoop on spring street and working on her second to-go margarita, it dawned on label founder leah that while there were tons of great street brands for guys, there was virtually no version out there for females. thus the concept for mob was born: a streetwear label designed for women and by women. growing up in a city like new york, you're only as good as the crew that you run with and the name of the label is leah's tribute to the "most official bitches," who through the ups and downs and highs and lows never failed to have her back. design inspiration for the label is literally up from the streets of new york and its clubs, secret hang-out spots and smoke-filled parties, making mob equal parts chic, smart-mouthed, and definitely not-to-be-messed with. no doubt it's all new york attitude, but in the two years since it was founded, the mob label has found female fans all over the globe who can identify with its street smarts. love mob, hate it, stalk its every move, it inspires opinions because more than just a clothing label, it's a lifestyle that speaks to style-confident females everywhere. whether a mob tee, string bikini, blog or photo shoot, everything has the mob crew's attitude, charm and appeal stamped all over it.

and here's the latest chavtastic "juicyfruits" collection from the mob.
and abey, if you're reading this, welcome to your next birthday present.

fuck you...

2006-12-19T06:13:00.000Z

2006-12-13T03:05:00.002Z

the beginning of the end. or is it the end of the beginning? or am i just being a pretentious prick?

anyway, letz get strait down to businezzz:

first off, this is the place to be this NYE, trust.
the bays'll be kickin it in their usual mad style; live, improvised, electronic dance music featuring live bass, drums, keys and assorted electro shiznit.
and with sets from a host of heavy dj's including simon (palmskin productions/the bays) himself, you cannot go any wronger for 25 english poundz.

next up, trainers. that's right, trainers. not sneakers, or sneaks, or anything else equally lame.
you can check out some of my personal pairs here.
and if you can't be arsed to click one damn link, i've posted a lil' taster below:
and lastly, muzik. or to be more specific, my muzik.
have a listen/rave/fit to the mp3 below, and by all means let me know how bad it is on a scale of "shite" to "westlife".

kidz - splintz

*edit - link not working, sorry! it's a shit tune anyway...
