ON WEDNESDAY I...

Hung out with J, and did the usual in an unusual way: we searched for satisfaction, to end our massive food cravings.So we trekked down Santa Monica Boulevard...

To the Middle Eastern haven of rotisserie, Zankou Chicken. I got more and more excited with every step I took to approach our destination.Do you wanna witness an ounce of bomb diggity?
Satisfaction
Zankou Number 9!


And then we saw mad Sex and the City movie advertisements everywhere we looked.

Then we had the yearning for Winchell's donuts.

Satisfaction number 2.
Dope day for good fun.

HALF OFF ON DIMEPIECE = NICKELPIECE?!

So there's gonna be this hot yard sale/BBQ going down this Sunday at the back alley of Joyrich! Hot gear at hot prices, hot food, hot fun - it's about to be a damn hot mess. I wish I could make it! (Dimepiece clothing is going to be half off from past seasons! That's like nickelpiece!) There's a whole mess of sales going on this weekend, so get ready for the hawtness and hit 'em up homies!

AWESOME!!!

The biggest continent in the world - Asia - is getting it's fix of Freshness because they've launched Freshness Japan and Freshness China! This is pretty cool. An established online magazine for street culture/pop culture/anything that's poppin' at the moment is taking the world by storm and going multi-lingual. I think it's a huge step and it's going to reap generous rewards - because let's face it: everything we surround us with in our own culture is not exclusive - it's all universal. From music, fashion, art, architecture, photography, streetwear, and everything in between - we take influences from other parts of the world and make it unique. I give Freshness mad props for getting this far and I congratulate them on this new venture. We worldwide, baby!
