Alright last post before I hit the sack. The perfect sneaker for Fall 2009 PONY City Wings HI Tops! With infusing its mixtures of brown and tan and use of fabrics other than leather or pleather this PONY creation seems to fit just right to help balance that ruggedness yet stylish look of Autumn.

Are you lifted?

Alright so coming back to the FASHION part of this blog...LIFTED RESEARCH GROUP! LRG for short is a very creative and influential retailer in the Urban fashion game. The creative heads at this company deserve a big round of applause for turning a basic TSHIRT into a ready wear piece of ART. For instance, I found this shirt at http://www.karmaloop.com/ its called "the camp pack on my back tee" haha its fun and will turn some heads.

RIP MJ The one and only King of Pop

So before I sleep tonight I had to post this. I will keep this short and let the video say it all. As a dancer I have always paid homage to the origins of the way we move today and a majority of our moves from gliding,tutting, and even some popping have been greatly inspire by the creativity of Mr. Michael Joseph Jackson. Where would Chris Brown, Usher, and Justin Timberlake be without MJ? Well ok enough said. This video was posted by another inspiration of mine Erik Saradapon! He choreographed this amazing piece to Man in the Mirror for Temecula Dance Company. All I can say is WOW! Hope you enjoy it.

So its SUMMER! Which means VACATIONS/ROAD TRIPS/DAYCATIONS and all that summertastic fun. What do you usually need for all that? Besides some $$$cash money$$$ everyone needs something to carry all their awesome wardrobe and essentials in... coming back to visit from gym class or from your high school days of track/football say hello to the classic DUFFEL BAG. Fellas we can go on vacation in style and comfort check these out. I was on the Complex Magazine site surfing around and it caught my eye.
