Maluca Runs New York

Craked out mambo + electro beat= El Tigeraso, an ode to all the Dominican hot boys across the world. Mad Decent artist Maluca has recently released her new single and I have to say that I think I've found a new love in my life [the woman and the song of course]. Not only is Maluca hot but so is the record, and I can honestly say that I can't wait for the LP drop sometime this April.

Visual Treats

Abstract illustrations by artist/author Christoph Niemann. I chuckled at many of the photos and even lol'd at a few [acid wash jeans]. He does a new article every other month or so, so I'd say that his site is definitely worth checking out.

Disco Beads

Another brokenfab creation. Hand beaded jewelery inspired by all things electro, funk, and boogie. All the pieces seen here are intricately hand crafted which could explain why each one will run you about 80 to 215 euro. OUCH.

Moscot. O How I Desire The

Now I'm generally a Ray ban man myself but I think I can officially say that Moscot has had the upper hand on classic eye wear since, I don't know, maybe about 1915 or so. I think the reason I like them so much is because their main focus wasn't/isn't on being "fashionable" but rather being practical [function over form]. I would love to order a pair online but they seem to NEVER have anything close to my size. The next time I visit New York Moscot is the first place to be on my to do list.

Love Come Down

Dirty Money. Enough said....but to add onto to that, this is the WORLD/justnorman.blogspot.com premiere of Dirty Money's Love Come Down music video. A lot people have been criticizing Diddy and what not saying that he should just give it up, but I say that he should at least do me some justice and wait until after this album drops. Yes I know his intro is a tad ridiculous but I'd say that the video from there on is fairly legit. A+

Los Zapatos Del Barco

GENIUS! Pure Genius. Sometimes I feel like wearing Sperry's and sometimes I feel like wearing my chukka boots. But sometimes....sometimes....I feel like wearing both at the same time. What's a man to do when he wants to wear Sperry's and chukkas all at once? I'm reaching for my Vans! Here's a look at the Vans Chukka Del Barco's. They have a few other colorways but these seem to be the only ones that matter [if you're asking me of course].





They have a black version also but I prefer the Del Barco LX version [LX=luxurious] over the latter.

In The Loop: Tee Shirt Edition

So you're street but you're not much of a Coogi 2x tee kind of guy? Don't fret, you've still got options! By now you've probably heard of Karmaloop and I'm sure you have a tee or two in your possession [I know I do]. Unfortunately they have about 60 pages worth of tee shirts and that can get very annoying. Don't know which ones to consider buying? No worries, I've done all the work. Here's the best of the best.

The Supernova

Mr. Hudson fashion feature from Complex's Oct/Nov issue. It's been around for about a month or so but I figured you'd enjoy it none the less [Need I mention the track in the background? Too legit]. Enjoy

Montreal's Finest

No this isn't about some band silly. It's about....you guessed it, street art! I know, I know, you've probably had enough of it, but I just can't seem to get away from the stuff. Here we have Peter Gibson [aka Roadsworth], arrested on 53 counts of nocturnal mischief in 2004. Despite all of this he was given a relatively lenient sentence due to the interest and support of the Canadian public. O Canada.







If you want more [there's plenty] you can always visit his website. While you're there you should really, REALLY, watch the video. It's, how I would say in the form of a cliche, inspiring.
