Once Again, Back is The Incredible

Life has been a pretty hectic clusterfuck the past few weeks, but now I'm back to bask in your collective adoration, and provide you with all the random information that I'm attracted to and think you should get a heads up on. You're welcome in advance.

With the summer months quickly approaching, my usual wardrobe of jeans and shirt may soon be compromised. Mostly because of global warming. Its already so hot, and my milk chocolate complexion may not be ready for such a quick transition beneath a wall of heat trapping denim. I really detest shorts. I just don't have the leg muscles for them. Ive tried to venture into the capri, but that may be more trouble then their worth. This summer, I've decided that I'm going to attempt to make the seersucker less pretentious than it has been historically. I don't own a yacht, and I would most likely try to skateboard in them. Tommy Lee has the right idea, in this GQ photo, but even this is a tad too dressy. Who would ever have thought "Tommy Lee" and "too dressy" would happen in the same sentence!

As just a quick jaunt into the "This was the worst business decision ever" area, Walmart is down with Nazi Fashion. I'm tempted to make jokes about what Walmart will be "rolling back" next, but perhaps that is in poor taste? This video, first posted on fashion indie, is here for your viddying pleasure:



Lupe Fiascio, although perhaps not down with my seersucker idea, is still Hip-hops resident skater. The Fader just posted his newest Mp3 "Bottom, Top." It's pretty bad ass, and deserves a listen. Once The Cool drops, I will hopefully be amazed by his ability to release a sophomore album that is better than his last, and with relatively quick turnaround. I hope...

Lastly, Gym Class Heroes just released a new video for "Shoot Down The Stars." I can't not post it, so to end my return to the interwebs, I shall leave you with that!





It's good to be back friends!

20 Years of Snow

A wintry mix of snow and ice has been doing a tandem soft shoe on my window sill for the past two mornings. I'm usually displeased by the presence of excessive snow,or any snow, but due to the circumstances (getting out of class), I'm not too disappointed.
I am disappointed, however, in the fact that I've had to change to the "new & improved" blogger. I don't like it at all. Not one bit. It's all bling and what have you, and I prefer my basic, no flash included, blogger.
When I was contemplating not updating my blog ever again, I started blog shopping. Looking at blogs that I would like to be like when I grow up. And Fashion was my saving grace. Our saving grace, because I'm sure you would all be devastated if there was no Segue. So today, I shall report on new, warm, spring fashions for men interested in looking as dapper as possible.

Lets start at the toes:
Puma just sent me a catalogue of sneakers made by Mihara Yasuhiro called Far Eastern Soles. If you get gassed off kicks like I do, this is a line you would be interested in. He just published a limited collectors book with the same name (Far Eastern Sole, in case you've forgotten already) which is an superb connect between sneakers & art.





The selection is really awesome, and this picture doesn't begin to encapsulate the size of the collection. It was the best I could do.







Legs:
Pants are trouble. Not exactly the principle behind wearing them, but finding some that fit me that aren't in the women's department, can be tricky. My good friend who has a dearth of knowledge in products has been preaching the positives of Levi's 501 line. He too, is in the skinny kid boat. I was reluctant to jump on the 501 bandwagon because of the financial qualms Levis has been having, but now, it seems they are back in the black, and I can invest my faith in them.








Ideology:
If you are one of those fashonistas, who adopt a style of dress, I can't very well ignore you, so this is for you. Emmett McCarthy, of Project Runway fame, is having a clearance sale (GASP!). So If using a designer as the sole foundation of a "statement" is your goal, all his stuff is 60%. Go to EMC² | 240 Elizabeth St., Bet. Prince & Houston St. [ 212-431-4134] on Thru Feb 19. Mon-Sat, 10AM-8PM Sun, Noon-7PM.
Barney's is also having a warehouse sale February 15th through March 4th | Mon-Fri 10AM-9PM; Sat-Sun 10AM-7PM; February 15th & 16th 8AM-9PM. Go to 255 W 17th St, Bet. 7th & 8th Aves. [ 212-450-8400].

If you wish to look toward to future of male fashions, instead of whats in the clearance rack, Carlos Campos may be worth your time. Not too professional, but very stark lines. You'll have to wait till the fall to pick some of up. Hopefully I'll be able to afford some by then.
