so, recently, pics of destro in the new gi joe movie have leaked. and, they are complete shit. i understand holding “the mask” back because it doesn’t “go” w/the new look of the film, but you could have easily shot this rat faced bastard from behind wearing the mask and made a few gazillions of fanboys happy.

since youth, all of us of a darker persuasion have believed destro was black.  whether because of the voice actor, them thick ass lips on the mask or because of his fantastic pimp hat and cane.

now i’m not sure of the ethnicity of the destro in the following video, but i do know he honors the mask and doesn’t appear to have the same traits of bitchassness that the other guy does.

the swarovski mask way.

recently, the googles provided me a couple of examples of some really idiotic uses of swarovski crystals. i, like most of you, probably had no idea what swarovski “crystals” were until the great cellphone craze of ‘06. like you, i too was happy of having a quick and easily identifiable way to dump the “idiotech” stamp on a chick from 35 paces and keep it moving through the local mall.

since i’ve found out that these things are expensive as all fuck, and that you can find swarovski stores in some of your higher end malls i’ve been struggling with trying to understand how this came to be.  can anybody explain to me why people would spend hard earned money to have something emblazoned w/swarovski crystals? what, outside of idiotic stuntage, is the appeal of name brand rhinestones? is there another opportunity to sell something cheap & gaudy at an inflated cost w/an appealing foreign name that hasn’t been used yet?

if so, i’m all in.
seriously.  i’m there.

these photos of the diddlez and cassie hit the net earlier in the week, causing all sorts of discussions about puff’s wrongness, cassie’s talent and whether or not those discussing it had the right to offer an opinion on the subject. around the same time, el-p’s we’reallgonnaburninhellmegamixx 2 hit the net, causing me to pop my copy of fantastic damage in and give it another listen. which brings me, you and them to this…


you think i’m a genius, i know i’m a whore…

that song, right there, encapsulates almost every thing i could say about the photos and the act.

and to tie a nice, neat bow around all this, let’s reference, bdp via the roots, kellz finally going to court, and Bill Murray, just because i get to post a picture of Scarlett Johansson.

White Midsole Massacre

clae, creative rec, supra and newcomers 100styles [via], so on and so forth.
why do these “high end” companies insist on putting white midsoles on these not-really kinda sorta sneakers?

i’ve wanted to get a few more pairs of these wears ever since my new gig allowed me to show up to work in whatever i damn well pleased on my feets. my boss wears overly techie shoes like he has to climb a mountain in our parking lot to make it to his car.

i hit up MajorDC w/the intent to pick up a pair of creative rec’s specifically because they didn’t have the shitty white midsole. unfortunately, these bitches were way too fuckin’ thin for my powerful manly tootsies.

maybe there’s something i don’t understand. i’m sure there is, so, why do so many of them choose to go with a white midsole? especially when it’s not complementary to the model? is it a cost thing? somebody help me…
