Debating

When I find myself engaged in debate, I try my best to remain calm, for in most cases, the most calm person wins the argument for the simple fact that they are level-headed and will be able to think more rash. Even though I try to remain calm, I rarely stay that way in the heat of battle. I do not get too emotional, however if I feel strongly enough about a subject, I will be driven to prove my point, and at a certain point I might just ignore whatever point your are trying to get across, regardless or not of how important or true it might be. Due to my stubbornness, sometimes knowledge that could have been attained is lost. I just chalk it up to be a fault of mine, but I'm making strides in righting it, which is why I am so confrontational now, I get into it with people just to see if I can keep my cool long enough. Selfish, I know.

Love for Fashion

I first fell in love with clothes in about eighth grade. At the time i was set on modeling, as many of my family members were already in the industry. When i had just put my foot in the door, i was awakened to the long hours and shortage of food provided. This was a major problem for me seeing that I love to eat, and I eat a lot. The long strenuous hours left me moody and acting an ass so I had to quit. I then learned that I love dressing and picking outfits for people more than I did modeling them myself, plus the hours were not as bad, and I was not put on display as much. As i grew older, I found that designing clothes was my true craft, and have been designing ever since.

Flat Shoals

My favorite residence over my eighteen years of living, and tens of different houses living would have to be when I lived in Chapel Hill Community which was located on Flat Shoals Parkway in Decatur, Georgia. The community in itself was something I was used to over my many years growing up in the city. The best attribute of living on Flat Shoals was how close I was to so many of my friends. Due to the majority of children enrolled at my elementary school, Kittredge Magnet School, having lived at least twenty miles away, school was usually the only place you got to see your friends since you all scattered around the city.

The week I moved into Chapel Hill Community, I was visited by my old schoolmates Marcus and Brandon. We laughed, joked, and conversed about everything from girls, to fights in our younger days. They even told me who all lived close by, which totaled to about ten different people of whom I knew. I was astounded, having never lived around people I went to school with, and had known for so much time. I knew how great my stint on Flat Shoals would be, even though it had just started. Over the next two years, I enjoyed many late nights and early mornings, while also regretting many drunken parties and getting kicked out of my house. All in all, my move to Flat Shoals was by far the best move I ever made, and I regret to have left.

Movie Review

Belly
I watched Belly for the first time when I was eleven. My father wanted to show me a series of "the best movies" in his opinion. The list included Shogun the Assassin, the Godfather series, Fresh, Scarface, etc. Belly was centered around two main characters Sincere, and Tommy. Sincere was played by Nas, my favorite artist, which immediately caught my attention when the movie started.

The opening scene of Belly pictures thousands of black youth celebrating the new millennium and having what seemed to be a grand time to me at the age of eleven. Throughout the movie, drugs are sold, people are killed, and money is made. Sincere grows tired of it all, and after a fiasco with an old partner in crime of whom he kills, Sincere is left wounded, and decides it's time for him and his family to move back to the motherland, Africa.

Straight Out the Mail






Hmm, its been a while since I posted some A.P.C. up on the blog.. They must've realized (lol) because i went to my mail box and was suprised to get a letter from them with the above. Couldn't find my camera, so i had to use the one on my phone, sorry.

SBxIce Cube Extended


I saw the first snip-bit of the comercial a little while ago and was vastly impressed. I didn't think it could get better, but this video serves as a total belie to my past thoughts.

Dedication is the Key

Air Yeezy Pandemonium from Waverly Watkins on Vimeo.



I love to see tis. If you made someone wait at least a few hours to get a pair of shoes, you could wed out the losers that don't really want them or fiend for them, and in turn, knock out all the fakers/jockers/etc.

Much Ado to My Ocks






This goes out to my niggas Mike Dos and my nigga Kevin. Mike is like the epitome of where I want to go with my artistic/clothing side. IT seems as though he's always 2 steps ahead of me in actually getting his things done. Kev was the first person I met that rivaled and even surpassed my FI (fashion intelligence), or knowledge of all things fashion, if you will. These characters voice a portion of my inspiration, and a strive of determination to surpass them.



Check out their blogs












Miscellaneous/Accessories from Nice Brands








The boxers are Crooks&Castles, the inscense sticks and holder are by Supreme, and the tie is a collaboration of Original Fake and Neighborhood

Happy "Welcome into the World" Day


Big ups to Pharrell. It's SP's (Skateboard P) birthday. The big homie is turning 36 today. shocker? lol

Designer Shine: Ann Demeulemeester






This designer's clothing is oh so farfetched-in a good way. I'm usually not a fan of the baggy clothes (though it's becoming the new trends, along with shoulder pads) in high-er fashion, but even in the few times she designs them so, it completely works for her. Props to you Ann !

Dior Homme 2009-2010 winter





I'm a bit late on relaying this information, but screw it. Here's a sneak at the 2009-10 winter collection for Dior Homme. enjoy

CLAE fall '09





One of my favorite "conservative" brands, CLAE, revealed its fall line for this year. I ordered the photos from my favorite to least favorite. I would only cop the last ones (the Whitman's) if they were on sale, but the other 5 shoes (the Romare Lo's, the McQueen's, the Romare Hi's, the Parker's, and the Thompson's) i would buy, and I will try to buy at least 2 pair

Cool Kids Performing !......wait no


So last weekend I was walking around L5P(Little Five Points) looking for my DeathWish Suprano Hi's, and as i passed Vinnie's Styles I was given this flyer for a party. At first glance I almost screamed like a school girl seeing that the Cool Kids were performing, however upon deeper scrutinization I realized that it was not. Chuck Inglish will be DJ'ing and Mikey ROcks MIGHT make an appearance but that's it. I'm still probably going because the party will be wild and sensational, I just Wish the Cool Kids would be performing, but who knows?(i knows) MAYBE THEY WILL....

Martyn Ball f/w '09















A piece of the fall and winter collection from Martyn Bal. I am really feelin those jackets
