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......

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!
