Shutter Shades.

So ok they are cool. But wouldn't be anywhere famous if it wasn't for Kanye West.

But they aren't very functional are they ? Im all for things that look trendy etc.

But in all honesty they should come with a health warning.

Warning may cause User to trip unexpectedly
Doesn't protect against objects in the air. ( such as dust, bugs.)
May cause nausea in places that uses flashing lights ( discotec.)
Does not protect from the sun. This includes both Eyes can skin.

It's not a good look, having zebra type burns near you eyes.

I don't see why they haven't got clear glass in them anyway.

Well I do see people walking down the street with them.. How?
They are very hard to see where you are walking.

May be if you are trying to stay still.. looking cool. Maybe a one two step dance move. They are fine.

What do you care anyway. They look cool =)

"Thought Shower" (rant)

Officials have now changed the term "brain storming" which is commonly used in offices, as "to brief on your ideas." to "thought shower"

Why?

Officials are now claiming that it is offensive to those for suffer from fits. The association found in this is that ,fits can become quite violent (like a storm) and come and go ( like a storm) what causes this is activity in the brain. And there we have "brain storming" .So ok its a long run to get to that point of why it may be offensive.

The fact is that no one would find it offensive. And if they do. I think they are being a little sensitive. Even a spokesman from the association that deals with fits etc. Agrees that no one would find it offensive when being used within a office.

It basically political correctness gone too far.

We are living in a world now we are supposedly have free speech. But in this day and age. When can we really say what we mean without it either offending someone or creating some kind of uproar.


I know that banning the word Brainstorming is only a small thing. But its what underlays it, thats important. That people have to be so careful of what they say, that freedom of speech can never really exist. It can only be an illusion.

Don't these officials have anything else better to do that pick at silly little issues. Maybe the fact that our economy seems to be on the fall, while inflation rises. Living cost keeps increasing, while minimum wage still remains the same.

but maybe thats an issue for a different post ..

Amy Winehouse.. Update.

Well the rumors that Amy as contracted Tb as came to light today. She has not got TB. She has a serous lung condition, from a result of smoking (with some other things as well).

Amy is responding well to the medication, and she will get better.. in time. But from a result she can not smoke.. at all. Otherwise it will get worse and will only result her in falling even sicker.

According to her dad, Amy is trying hard to give up. In his words " covered herself in Nicotine patches", that she understands the dangers.

But doctors have now said that she is well enough to do gigs. If she wants to. Maybe it would be a good idea to get some good well deserved rest.. and maybe some fresh air wouldn't go a miss.

Maybe this is what will make her turn her lifestyle around. But we will have to wait to see

The Curse of Kanye West

Ohh and the curse of Kanye West strikes again. Now Kanye west as done a handful for great songs some on his own some with great artist, some with struggling artist.

Now Kanye knows how to make a song good. Him.

But the curse is he raps on the artist song. Yay the song is a hit. But what happens after?

Well artist brings out there next single.. No kanye West rapping on it.. Oh it's a flop.

Same thing happens with Timberland, except in a few cases the artist may be able to make a few singles that do ok. Before dissapearing into the music black hole. Maybe to appear in a few years time.

Amy WineHouse

Now We have all heard that recently that Amy hasn't been well. After being rushed into hospital after collapsing at her home in camden, It wasn't quite clear what was wrong. It is now a possabillity that she may have TB. This is due to her partying ways. By taking the drugs, she has lowered her immune system which makes her more likely to get TB.

Amy is such a talented artist and songwriter and is a shame that her downfall as became entertainment in it self.

But Amy success comes from her the heartache and the bad times. Listen to her lyrics and they are all about sad times, heartache. SO where would she be if her life wasn't how it is. Would she be able to have the feeling in her songs, without ever expreinced it first hand. Personally I don't think she would be where she is today and I mean in "star status". She would still be singing and dancing in small productions, just getting by.

But of course we all know that this life style is serverly affecting her health and she will soon become victim to it.

Her heartach and fame is her downfall, But without it she is nothing. It is a shame that such good talent, will come and go so quickly.

Hopefully this will be a wake up call to her so she can stick around.

Nike ID (london)

When is the London store going to catch up..

Other countries are way ahead of the game, with much more materials available and be able to "ID" a wide range of trainers.

And why the funk do i want to design my own fitness shirt? I can put a pair of weights on them or a football.. that looks like it has came from Microsoft words clip art section.

Ok so the watches are cool. And now they have done an option for nike bags. Ok.

But lets face it.. We want trainers. Not fitness ones either. You know Air force ones. Rifts. More options.
So its good that now can ID Zoom blazers.

Urgh give us normal ones... Zooms have a weird shape :P.

Please you are pushing us to buy nike ids from ebay.

Plus hurry up and open Nike town.. It so bad at the moment

The video got dubbed to dark and violent. (really great video.. too dark is a bit much)

Now kanye west as made a new video to the song. Which portraits a girl (a model) who likes Flashing lights.:P . Of course it all goes wrong.

I love the original and will always be a fave for me.

But here is the new video for you to see for yourself.

Haven't We seen these before ?

So Kanye West has finally decided to jump ion the band wagon and create his own clothing range. Well lets be honest it was only a matter of time.

Well the new range is called Pastelle. No idea why to be honest.

Well Kanye Loves the sunnies. These glasses became famous by him wearing them.




Well ok so they aren't very practical, but he doesn't care, he look fly =P

Well now to launch his clothing range he has teamed up with Ksubi, an Australian fashion label known amongst many celebrities. To make a pair of sunglasses that he just loves.




Which ones are the real ones =O


But hang on... I have seen these before. Urban Outfitters (usa) do a carbon copy of these and they were out 1st. To top that I brought ones from brick lane that cost me £5.00 each. (all different colours as well) Rather than the Big Price tag of $2000. (WHAT)

Ok so they have a gold frame. But They are nothing special and I wouldn't call them ground breaking or never done before.

It took years apparently, Well sorry I think that take out the gold frame and the "label" and you could sell them down the market for 2 pairs for £8.00.


Thoughts?

G-Shocking

Hi we all know what a G-Shock is right?

Well the likes of hip stars everywhere have been seen with them rocking of their wrists.

They withstand pretty much anything you can throw at them. Casio Also make a baby version for the ladies ( but i prefer the normal ones) there are quite a few different styles and colours you can get. A few limited editions have also been made. Casio merged with Bape to make a hot combo.

Well now they are celebrating their 25th anniversary, and of course like any major brand does.. brought out a new range to celebrate with you ( they can just go on exclusive parties)


Check the whole range of G-Shock watches here

Cheap Mondays

Well Cheap Mondays are one of my favorite brand of jeans. Here is a little background on them


The story so far...

It all started in March 2004 when the tight denim with the characteristic skull logo first hit the market.

But to tell this story correctly, we have to go back to November 2000 when Örjan, Adam and two of their friends opened a small second hand store in a Stockholm suburb. The store was called Weekend and was only open during Saturdays and Sundays. Despite its remote location, and thanks to a very good selection of garments, the store went well and the decision to team up with Lasse and open up a bigger shop in central Stockholm was taken. The store was a full-time concept, open every day of the week, and therefore got the name Weekday.

From the start they carried high-fashion and exclusive denim brands mixed with second hand clothing — a blend that attracted young, trendy Stockholmers.


Some of the denim sold in the shop was very expensive and Örjan felt there was a need for cheaper, but still fashionable jeans. The first style ‘Tight’ was born, at this point made exclusively as an in-store brand. An unwashed, very tight fitted stretch denim jean for a shockingly good price! It was an immediate success and the first 800 pairs sold out in a couple of weeks. The skull logo was made by their friends Björn and Karl who had helped them with the imagery for the store.

In January 2005, Cheap Monday was developed into a brand with a full scale collection and the distribution was extended to selected stores in Sweden as well as abroad. A new company, Weekday Brands, was established by the three companions Örjan Andersson (design), Adam Friberg (production and code of conduct) and Lasse Karlsson (economy and establishing strategies), together with Sanna Atldax (design), Karl Grandin and Björn Atldax (graphics and marketing). In April 2005 the first order for a non-Weekday shop left Sweden.


Our idea is still to offer the customer fashion at an extremely good price. We want to put Cheap Monday alongside more expensive brands, in good stores where we want to shop ourselves. We are aiming to create clothes that compete with high-end brands both in attitude and fashion-level as well as in quality.

Without traditional marketing but with a strong idea on how to present the brand, Cheap Monday can today be found in 28 countries and in 1000 stores all over the world. With agents and distributors in Europe, USA, Japan, Australia, Canada and The Middle East, Cheap Monday is now ready to take the next step as an international brand.

From the first delivery of 800 pairs in March 2004, the production for 2007 has reached a new level.
