SEATTLE....HERE ... I ... COME SUCKAS ....

Hello

This post doesn't have anything to do with streetwear, or our brands.  I just wanted to say that I am very excited to go home to Seattle tomorrow morning.  I haven't seen my house in almost a year, and I love seeing mom and dad.  They are very cool parents.  I will probably check out some Seattle stores, but nothing really changes out there cuz everything is very slow and boring.  (That's why I moved back to NYC).   I hope the showroom don't miss me too much...cuz i am the life of the party here.  

AND I........

GET ORDERS..........

LIKE CHEEEEEEEZE-BUGAHS......



that's my mom, she is making korean vermacelli noodles!  she's awesome ; )

I WENT TO THE SKATEBOARD SHOWDOWN


Hello

i went to the Harlem skateboard showdown this past saturday with my lovely hubby wubby.  I have never been to a skateboard showdown so I was mos def excited to see this wannabe x-games.  Upon arrival, I saw the Gonz which was definitely cool.  But the highlight of my day was seeing our old colleague Paki Bobby.  Still the same Bobby....born and raised New York with all that Acapulco Gold gear.  NeWaYzzz....the skate jam was nothing like what I see on ESPN X-Games.  Although it seemed pretty disorganized with tonz of sweaty skater dudes pedaling around, trying not to bump into each other...the organizers seemed like they knew what they were doing.  Kinda ghetto style.  They would just announce the category of the competition, and have 20 dudes skate over a particular jump nonstop.  Its amazing that they even have time to breath, because they don't even wait for the kid in the front to land the trick..they just kept goin one after another like hot pockets.  Sometimes a kid would crash onto the ground, and the next skater would try his best to not topple over him.  Boys are gutsy.  The best part was that if a kid won the comp....there was no fancy announcing of the winner, and no fancy poster sized check, the organizer would just hand the kid a hundred dolla bill on the spot. the dude was walking around with stacks of hundos just handing one after another to the next winner.   u know if this was in LA...they would have all the biggest companies like Quicksilver holding some televised worthy skate event.  we keep it hoood in nyc.

anywayz...check out my pictures!  i should sell them to transworld cuz im amazing at taking skate shots.  














EARTH DAY!

Today is the day to acknowledge our one common mother, Mother Earth. Crazy things have been happening all over the world lately and people are finally seeing that we need to help protect her from ourselves. There are so many things that we can all do to contribute to using a little less in our daily lives. Turning off and unplugging lights, computers and other electronics is a small step but helps. Recycling, reusing plastic bottles, and only printing when NEEDED are also small things that won't break you. If you're a little more hardcore and want to help out, check out foundations and volunteer programs in your local city. Foundations like Surfrider.com you can find in most cities and if you don't have the time, but do have the money, make a donation to help our world be a better place! Didn't someone say Green is the new Black?(yeah trendsters!)
If you're in NYC this weekend go up to Central Park this Sunday from 12 to 4pm to enjoy live performances, planting and mulching projects, tree care and composting demonstrations, and environmental education.
So, as cheesy as it sounds earth day is everyday. Show your mother some respect and help her out!

Chicken Weeeeengs!

Word on the street is that LA produces better korean bbq than the motherland.  They got that Louis Vuitton of beef over there, and came up with Duk Bo Sam.  That is my favorite food of all time...and my mouth is watering right now.  Then those LA koreans came up with Pinkberry (which they knocked off Red Mango in the motherland), and now the craze is the garlic fried chicken wings.  YO....they are making a KYOCHON on 32nd street, and ohmigosh...these wings are soooooooooooo amazing.  For people like Nico (Reed Space), and Yoshi (Fatlace) who've been to Bon Chon, this KYOCHON is supposed to be even better!  Sucks that LA gets everything first and then they migrate it to NY a few months later, but oh well.  At least New York is the cooler city.  What's next????  Scotty Hundreds says LA has those korean taco trucks now that put burgogi in their tacos......









The Bushwick Country Club

As the weather gets warmer the city freaks out and decides they cannot stay indoors any longer. I, being the typical antsy person with spring fever was searching the internet for things to do once the weather cooperates. As an avid mini golfer growing up I wondered what the city had to offer in the putt putt realm. My google skills led me to one particular site that stood out from the rest, Bushwick Country Club. Score. Though I have never been, I think we can all dig out our inner trailer trash and appreciate the beer can pin wheel and 16oz PBR's. My selling point is the frozen Jim Beam and coke slushies. Located on 618 Grand st, in Brooklyn, but not Bushwick (odd), it's definitely a place to put on your list to check out. Summer is calling how you gonna answer?
