A relaxed boyishly cute style I saw on my way from the train back home. As usual there’s always someone dressed awesomely on their way to the mall. Surprising to me because I never thought anyone dressed great would be going to or coming from the mall but it seems to happen allot. Elena here had a style I don’t see much in Portland and I really apreciated her creativity, hope to see more thtoughout the summer!

Its my second day here after sleeping about 15 hours and it started off pretty nice. Took a shower, went with my friends family to the street market. There were clothing stands and lots of food and meat of course. I was totally surprized by the smell of the market. It went from awesome to the worst thing I have ever smelled in my life within a couple feet. The fashion is ok that Ive seen. pretty basic. I stand out like a sore thumb. I match the signs and decorations more than other people since I brought all my most neon clothing. More photos soon. Its not as easy it seems to just pull a camera out. We´re going camping soon. Camping in Mexico. Whouda thought. I´ll update once in a while but dont expect too much. I am on vacation after all.

I’m not sure how many of you out there know my obsession with Kidrobot toys but I collect Dunny’s and Smorkin Labbits and over the last few years my collection has gotten to the point of needing its own shelf. Since I pay pretty close attention to what’s going on with Kidrobot and who’s doing what with them I also like the other kid robbot jewelry (they dont get names anymore because they dont believe in free enterprize and equal opportunity for all), but not the price. I decided since I didn’t want to pay 100$+ for a plastic toy and some beads (an awesome plastic toy) that I would make my damn own. So I am, whether you like it or not, and giving them all my awesomest friends. yes i said giving. so if youre lucky i might give you one.

Check em out!

The ultimate homage to Kidrobot

I’ll be in Mexico the next 2 weeks sporting one I decided to keep. I’ll try to get some shots of it in interesting places. I always take Dunny’s with me when I travel, now I can wear one on me whenever I want. Posting will continue on the 28th or sooner If i get some Mexican internet!

Somewhere between the invention of the rocket bra and the self drying jacket in Back to the Future, we lost sight of the importance of future forward fashion. Sure we have iPhones and robots on mars but as soon as we figured we could just pretend people in the future wore different clothing than ‘today’, we stopped working towards it in reality. “Future people” became something we were no longer responsible for, but really, that’s us dammit! WE are supposed to dress like Mad Max or Blade Runner! And to quote Futurama, “Welcome to the land of tomorrow!”. Maybe adding variations to our outfits, beyond the last 30 years of the same basic things in different colors and layers, we could start doing this future thing? just a little?

Here’s a start! Meet Stevie Boi. Sporting his own independent label, artist Steven C. Strawder has been exceeding the expectations of the present and future with his innovative art sunglasses and frames. Each piece is handmade with an obvious dedication to pushing the boundaries of fashion as we know it.  Are they anti-radiation? I don’t know. But it would be worth finding out to be the only one sporting a pair with my new 80s Reebok’s. An true 80s ‘future’. … hmm, I can live with that.

I went a little nuts this last month and in my quest to replace my much loved leather boots that have officially fallen apart, I found these shoes in Thrift Stores and shops in Portland and southern California.

$6 at Lincoln Thrift in Aneheim. Adidas soccer?

$7.99 @ 50% off at Goodwill in Orange. Reebok stuff

Almost new but stored a little poorly. Otherwise perfect!

first pair of Converse I’ve ever owned, $23 at Fred Meyers sale rack.

no deal on these guys sadly, Harley Davidson boots, $150, spluurge city. (no I dont wear them with shorts)
