I don't smoke but I wish that I did. Firstly it looks cool- it just does and anyone who says it doesn't isn't cool. Secondly you have reason to have a Zippo which in themselves are about the coolest things on the planet. When you bring the two together and light your Lucky Strike (soft pack obv.) with your Zippo then you are, for that second, about as shit hot as you can get.
So I bring you a Zippo of Japan x FUCT colab which commemorates the bond between a soldier and his Zippo during the Vietnam war. Marines would often engrave pictures, sayings or regiment numbers on to the blank canvas of their Zippo.

the decapitator is back and is better than you, banksy
The Decapitator is back, and I like his style! The anonymous street artist has loped the head off of SJP on a billboard in London. This stuff is alot better than other famous street artists such as Banksy, who's only saving grace is that he isn't all those chumps who go around with stencils trying to be Banksy. A stencil isn't a statement, now fuck off.
Keep up the good work Decapitator. Banksy, die.

going out in a blaze of glory
Missed these Puma Blaze Of Glorys from a few days ago, so here they are. Dropping in the Autumn they will come in two colourways- black/sliver and white/pink. Originally re-released (that has to be bad English) a short while ago the Blaze Of Glory is essentially the Disc Blaze without the disc compartment. I think they look pretty boss, hopefully there will be more colourways on offer shortly to add to these and the Puma x Sneaker Freaker colab which also looked the business.
eurotrash
Seriously how the fuck did this not win Eurovision? It has to be the song of the year.

patently cool
Patent leather is the best hide, that shit is basically indestructible scuff proof, stain proof and chump proof. You really cant go far wrong with patent leather in my book, so nike scores highly with me for this new pseudo patent leather pack. Not an actual pack but 3 releases linked by their patent leather/mesh toe box construction.

lohan has her pelt sued off
How the hell did I miss this? Lindsay (my hero) goes to a party, because that's her job now, does her usual Lindsay-at-a-party-awesome-stuff then leaves with someone else's $12000 mink coat. Stolen or accidentally taken, whichever that coat is Lindsay's now so she starts wearing it. Gets photographed looking just fabulous in it and said photo's are published in OK! magazine. Rightful owner of the coat, a New York college student (with a $12000 mink coat- she sounds well annoying) sees Lindsay in said coat and bitches and whines till she gets it back, undeservedly.
Ok so everything is is returned to its original owner and we can all get on with our lives? Apparently not because now the annoying owner of Lindsay's mink coat is now suing for $10000 because it smells of fags and booze. Of course it does, Lindsay rages twenty-four seven and that is her natural funk.

consort-me-a-pair-out
This is the Adidas Consortium P-Sole and it's well fucking nice. The upper is suede over the toe going back into checked canvas (I think) I'll be able to give you more info after I've bought a pair which is what I'm going to see about doing now.

erm am i wrong?
Right, I've not been out the house in a few days nor have I had sex for even longer than that, plus there's a good chance I am allergic to caffeine and I've just drank a cup of coffee all of these things may be contributing to me thinking that Britney doesn't look half bad in that bikini. Seriously am I wrong? Can someone clear this up for me please.
get (aero)fit
Really does any company make any new trainers anymore? You see less and less of them- and that's not at all a bad thing seeing as the whole industry kinda blasted a big fat load all over the 80's and early 90's. There are so many good trainers sitting in Nike, Adidas and Reebok's collective archives that there seems little point any more, aesthetically speaking anyway. When you have new technology but want to keep that old school look then just update an old design like Nike have done with the Air Max 90 Current or the SuperBlazer. Which leads me onto, in a kinda none related way, to the Nike Aerofit originally released in 1987 possibly as Nike's answer to Reebok's Freestyle because they look basically the same, which are due to drop in the autumn with around 6 different colour ways.

omgwtf!!!!111111
Ex jail bait faux lesbians tATu are back with a hard hitting gritty new song and video. With gratuitous nudity and and super shocking climax I nearly soiled myself with excitement over this video. Hard to keep up with the narrative of the vid but it looks like the Russian two are out to offend. What will they think of next, a duet with Garry Glitter perhaps? Just a thought.
The new song is called Beliy Plaschik, which means White Robe, but do you really care? All you need to know is tATu are freaking back!
