HOOKUPS.

Buscemi hooked up some Gourmet heat. They go perfectly with the carpet. When I wear them here in my office, I look like I’m floating around on ankles with no feet.

Yohei shipped us a box of W-Base t-shirts and toe clips all the way from Japan, this is all that was left by the time I remembered to take a photo.  Guess who the hot pinks went to?

EA Sports’ Fight Night 4 came nicely packaged in a leather-bound box with a Reigning Champ zip-up hoody.  Now there’s no excuse to play video games naked.

King Stampede also sent Ben and I a massive crate of goodies, from tees to jackets and fleece.  I don’t have a photo of it because it’s all tucked away in my drawers at home.  Next to my stash of ninja stars and bumfight videos.

MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE.

Thanks to Joe, I got invited to a special screening of Transformers 2 earlier tonight at Paramount Studios.  I won’t divulge any spoilers but I’ll put it like this.  Michael Bay’s got it dialed to what people want in a Transformers movie : Deafening explosions, robots who talk like African-American comedians, really bad lens glare, corny jokes that Matt LeBlanc fans would appreciate, and gratuitous reasons to get Megan Fox to coyly undress, run in slow motion, jump in even slower motion, and smother her lips in cherry red lipstick.  Even if she’s running for her life from Constructicons in the desert.

Not that anyone’s complaining.

I don’t trust the car in the middle.

LOOK WHO’S BACK.

Switch,

Seems like just yesterday you came onboard, then you were snowboarding in the office (and Benjie looked funny in a beanie)(and you were wearing the worst shoes ever. That you’re still wearing today. Please stop.) And then just like that, you were gone.

Well now you’re back and having conference calls with E-40 aren’t you?

Welcome home Switch.

TAG TEAM.

That’s my old friend Kathy aka Kit E. Kat on the right.  She and model Kaila Yu are partners in an L.A.-based anime/rock-inspired jewelry line called Hello Drama.  They’re also in a band together called Nylon Pink, and will be playing the Warped Tour this Sunday in Ventura.

Dominick Deluca (Brooklyn Projects) came along for the ride, and we all know what that means. Another jaw-dropping episode of the Dom Bomb.

KYLE WEBSTER FOR THE HUNDREDS.

In case you’re wondering about our rotating splash page, you’re looking at the fine illustrative work of Kyle T. Webster.  This Thursday, The Hundreds is releasing 3 limited t-shirts (offered in both black and white) at both THLA and THSF, where I asked the world-renowned illustrator to pay homage to some of our favorite musical icons… I hope it’s obvious, but in case you were wondering:

Bjork.

The Pixies.

and Morrissey.

I posted this on VIDEO DAZE a while back, but I’ll post it again here.  I think it’s important to understand Kyle’s process and how quickly he works.  Here, Kyle Webster for Luciano Pavarotti.

SURPRISE GUEST.

You remember our friend Bryan right?  Bryan Greenberg, the actor and musician.  He’s on the road right now and was recently joined onstage with his costar from their upcoming HBO series How to Make it in America Kid Cudi. But I bet you’ve never seen the rapper like this.  For the impatient, fast-forward to the 1:40 mark.

GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS.

I don’t really like spending money on anything outside of filling my tank or my stomach, but I just picked up this Will Murai print.  

carmenrocks

Will’s a Brazilian illustrator and artist who’s got his girls down to a science.  I love his work because it reminds me of some of my favorite children’s book cover artists, but obviously tinged with an adult edge.

I mean, come on, how can you not dig this?

WORST CAMERAPHONE PICTURE EVER…

…of Arnold Schwarzenegger, and his son at Best Buy on Sawtelle.  Happy Father’s Day.

He pulled up in a Humvee tagged with a “Vegetable Oil” bumper sticker, surrounded by bodyguards with shotguns in Escalades, and tailed by giddy paparazzi hopping over bushes.  Whenever I leave L.A. and tell people where I’m from, they ask if I see celebrities on a regular basis.  The answer is unsurprisingly Yes, but moreso because “celebrities” are a dime-a-dozen these days, what with the internet and reality shows.  Arnie here takes us back to the era of veritable Hollywood blockbuster giants.  Oh yeah and I almost forgot, he’s our Governor.

I ran up to Melrose to have a quick meeting with Dom at Brooklyn Projects.  If walls could talk…  

Dom with the homeys Dame Dash, Kid Rock..

big_thehundreds9

Look what Dom found, a vintage issue of Transworld STANCE.  This was the magazine that laid the blueprint for today’s street culture rags like Complex and Antenna.  Look at that cover, one of the last times the Lakers won the championship, with Koston, Howard, and Shaq-era Laker girls in tow.

Ummmmmmmmmmm no comment.

Annnyways, meanwhile, back at The Hundreds..

Sagan’s back onboard.  You’ll probably find him sweeping or semi-helping you at THLA.  Whatever you do, don’t ever shake this dude’s hand.  He masturbates more than anybody I know, and that includes the degenerates at the office.  If Sagan skated as much as he wanked, he’d be P.Rod status by now, but in his own words “Yeah, but I like masturbating more than skating.”  

big_thehundreds11

So as of today, I’m officially declaring Sagan as the Captain of The Hundreds Masturskate team.

Bad news for these girls.
