Hey DJ, have you been keeping track of 1200’s price lately? Guitar Center no longer is offering them and they are now 1000 Quid for new ones. You can still find second hand ones at regular second hand prices but I don’t know how long that’s gonna last… Mentioned before here

Had lunch with the dynamic duo over at Theme Magazine and Emeht Agency. They were in the mist of two campaigns using a nice spot in Malibooya as the working HQ. Check out the view we had.

One of the illest shoes this season. The Grenson Brogue Boot with a vibram sole. Handmade in England.

Oy, all the Prada Terrace Hooligans should be so proud. Proper shit kickers to tie back with the Stone Island/ Prada coats. Made in England (at the Chruch’s factory). Wingtips built to spec on a commando sole (don’t worry these don’t have a red stripe on them).

The Fierceness. (apparently this was pulled from the shelves due to some Hells Angels reference.)

Relax Magazine(Japan). It was history in the making.

Underpass. (No cool guy camera app filter used.)

Did a little plastic surgery upgrade to the tone arm on the 1200’s.

She had an extra two tickets to the Lakers (2010 Back to Back Champions) season game opener against the Houston Rockets, which also entailed the championship ring ceremony and the raising of the 2009-2010 championship flag. It was an awesome game!  We came from behind […]
