Just straight up stole this post from MashKulture (appreciate the blog), but I’m feeling what Adapt has brought to the table this time.   My favorite among the mass of freshness is the Quality tee.   Keeping it simple is how we should all do it, and less hype, okay?

Got Stickers?

I feel like there’s just an influx on the amount of stickers being produced everyday.   These sticky vinyls have been pushed to Priority #1 for repping your crew, and I f^cking digg it.    I guess it started for me in my skateboarding days, covering the scratches on my deck with a sticker here, then a sticker there.  Now I’m trying to dent and scratch my whip to throw one on my bumper, follow the Illest crave.   I’ve seen a Lexus SC with the front bumper completely graffiti’ed out.   Straight inspiration.

Better yet, here’s a new Lexus IS sporting the full tatt’ed body. . .

Just a thought.  I’ve always been a fan of stickers; call it an obsession, whatever, I f^cks with the stickers and you should too, haha. Pce>Hood Brains

Sitting here reading Performance Mags, listening to Asher Roth’s latest mixtape.  Definitely what I like to consider that collegiate material music; something the ‘cool’ crowd in college can relate to.  Hood Brain’s rating: 9/10, definitely because of the variety of musical contributions and blends.   Download the mixtape fo’ free @ DatPiff

Cannabis Culture

Filed under: Uncategorized, lifestyle, travel — GME August 22, 2010 @ 10:40 pm

While reading some forum posts @ Sensi Seeds, I ran across what appears to me to be advertisements to a Eden Hashish Centre, a Medicinal Marijuana dispensary in Nepal .   I couldn’t find much info on these print-ups, but they make me wonder, with all the marijuana legislation going on in Cali (Prop. 19), will America start printing advertisements  promoting Medicinal Marijuana?  Who would the artist be and how would they depict the use of Cannabis?   Whatever for now, we’ll see when we get there; so enjoy Nepal’s freedom while you can’t (haha). Pce.

Caribou Lodge x Fatlace Yoyo

Filed under: Co-labs, accessories., art, toys — GME August 19, 2010 @ 4:00 pm

Man I can’t even remember the last time I picked a Yo-yo up.  I was never really nice with them, but my brother was.   Son could ‘walk the dog’, do the ‘waterfall’, swang it this way and that way haha.   All I could do was sleep it and let the thing hang low.   I wouldn’t mind sleeping this Caribou Lodge x Fatlace collaborated yoyo, though.

It comes in two color sets, metallic green and black, and cost $90.00.   Yeah, this is definitely not a good gift to the problem child, but better suited behind the glass face of a collection cabinet.   Side note : the face of the yo-yo looks extremely similar to a flush ride’s stanced wheels,  x9 offset +35 haha.   via Fatlace Emporium

Simply Clean

Filed under: cars, fashion, film, lifestyle — GME August 18, 2010 @ 10:12 pm

Man, Thank GOD I’m moving to Orlando soon!   The car scene down there is popping off and a new movement has sprouted out of Winter Park called Simply Clean.   Oh yeah, there’s also some gear involved, provided by ReignFL.   They stock top quality brands as well as their own, gotta support home base, right? and have a mutual respect for the car scene.

As the import/tuner scene started tapering off in Florida, two guys (*Louis & Nick ) came into the Reign shop one day, chitter chattering about cars and what not with James (the shop owner) and decided to do something about bringing the booming car culture back to Florida.   Thus, creating the Simply Clean movement @ the beginning of 2010, which by the way, seems like it just happened yesterday. Man time flies.

The Reign shop is a Street Wear Boutique located @ 14 S. Semoran Blvd. Suite 2, Winter Park, FL 32792; about one mile outside Orlando.   Reign also hosts Dj events and dance-offs, which is just convenient for me since I like both art forms. Definitely going to do a follow up on this spot when I relocate.  For now, just Pce.
