Venting, Advice, and Alejandro

FRIENDS,

I know I haven't posted anything extremely interesting for a while but like I said I'm living in the big apple now and life in the city is a bit hectic. I'm debating which school to go to, I'm writing a book series which is also taking some time away from my blog. But I'm a man of my words and I promised you all a new and improved blog. Now time to literally vent. Friends, I'm rebelling against stupid, pointless, ignorant rules. Advice time! Take it from me; at times one can't sit back and allow others to control ones life, don't be the puppet be the puppet master, alter your life the way you want it. Who gives a flying fuck about what others think about you. Screw them! If you feel this way, tomorrow is the beginning of a new chapter for you. Mama Monster won't approve of others mastering our life. Talking about Gaga I'll leave you with her new amazing video 'Alejandro.' Enjoy!

NEW YORK HERE I COME!!!!

Hey guys,

Please pardon my continuous disappearance recently, the thing is that I'm relocating back to the big apple! woohoo! (I CAN'T WAIT!) And I've been very, very, extremely busy packing and getting every thing situated here in slow-paced Florida. I won't have internet for a while but all I want to say is that I love you readers for sticking by me and liking my shit. When I get to NYC I will be doing a fashion internship! Aint that cool?! I promise a new blog from me to you, and it will be amazing! Brand new topics, amazing pics, and my night life in the city of fashionistas. You will follow me through my journey in the big apple as I go to fashion shows, assist the designer, and attempt to make it into GQ Magazine as an Editor. Are you up for the bumpy ride? People better watch out because this intern is going in like a hurricane... move to the side Whitney Port. I promise they wont know what hit them; this is now my playground ;p

Patrick Demarchelier

Fellas,

"Get me Patrick!" -Miranda Priestly From the Devil Wears Prada. I love that movie! Anyway while going over my blog I noticed that I've never had a post on the best-of-the-best Mr. Patrick Demarcherlier. I was chocked, completely disgusted with myself :'( Only one question directly jumped into my wild mind... Why?! Here it is; PART 1 on some of many of my my favorite pictures taken by Uncle Dermarchelier (that's what I personally call him). Cough, cough.. if you don't know who this is then I'm sorry but you simply don't know about fashion. Simple as that. But I'll be nice and tell you who this God is. Patrick Demarchelier is an amazing French fashion photographer who has shot for everything and everyone, he usually makes his home at Vogue Magazine. And Anna Wintour, worlds best Editor-In-Chief, always books him for most of Vogues shoots because he constantly delivers extreme masterpieces. His creativity is on a different level where not many can reach. I vow down to him and to his ability of capturing the true essence of everything. Long live the king! Check out his website, where I got these amazing pics from; at: Demarchelier.net

Izreel S/S 2010

Fellas,

Last night I was a bit bored so I decided on checking other countries Fashion Weeks. Tokyo being in mind first, I went to JPW (Japan Fashion Week), that is when I came across IZREEL, (visit his web is amazing!) and I was simply moved by his talented, cohesive, strong work of art. My gosh the moment I laid eyes on his beautiful, commercial Spring/Summer collection a tear emerged from my eyes. Now this is fashion. Take notes fellas. God bless Izreel's vision and his talented hands. The first 3 are my favorites of course. AH, and I adore the meggings! You can really see Japan projected on his clothes, wow, simply heaven.

Christian Rios

Fellas,

I love these pics taken by no other then the amazing extraordinaire Christian Rios, visit his site, you'll be dragged into the pictures. His work is so talented... it tells an individual story. Every time I glance at these pics I am forced to travel into the scene... only a good photographer can captivate and move me. This shoot looks like so much fun, extremely energetic and youthful. It reminds me of my boys and I when we hit the streets of downtown and act like little kids on a city-size play ground. No wonder it is called "Boys Art Night Out." Any way you can find us jumping around and making complete fools out of ourselves, but as they say "boys will be boys." AH, the life of college dudes! The last picture is from Christian Rios the "Ford LA All Stars" Shoot. Simply cool.

DOGFUNK.COM

Fellas,

On the Daily 10 today on Channel E! Sal went over the Fashion-for-Dudes section... I think that's what it's called. And he revealed a little website that in less then an hour I have falling in love with; visit, DOGFUNK.COM it is amazing! There is so many freaking things for a low price! I call it, simply heaven. Now that I'm obsessed with watches, since in my rightful mind it showcases and represents class, elegance and maturity; this is what I am debating on getting.

"Taking inspiration from the season’s most daring and courageous action hero, Diesel introduces Only The Brave Iron Man, a limited edition fragrance celebrating the iconic comic book hero. In honor of the upcoming theatrical release, Diesel is re-imaging its signature Only The Brave fist design in bold red and gold colors for a limited time, evoking the power and strength of Iron Man.

I'M BACK and kinda tired!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fellas,

What's up?! I know I haven't posted anything in a while but like I said school was a hand-full. There was a lot of studying, a lot of 6:00AM sleeping time, papers flying everywhere, left and right and a hope in me to connect with my readers and post something fashionable for my little Fashion-Forward Dude's and Fashion-Forward Dudette's. Anyway while "studying" I had to take 5 min breaks right? So I for some reason ended up going to Zara.com Here is what I liked the most. Every style has a story so these are my take on them, (DON'T JUDGE ME). The first 3 kinda remind me of a cowboy lost in the glamor and fast-pace life of New York City while he tries to reconnect with his roots from Texas. The next two remind me of a journalist which on a mission he finds himself on a Caribbean Island to write a story on surfers style. I love all of these styles, their truly great! And now I am inspired to drive by Zara and get me some of these clothes: like the boots, the pants, and both jackets. Is a little too hot for the scarves. I like the shorts, and the gladiator sandals of course. I just truly adore these looks. Enjoy! BTW that's a pic of me super bored and tired at 5:00am but I had to stay awake to continue studying, so I decided to spike the morning, grab my camera and take a trip to the restroom.
