STYLE > FASHION

Hey guys and gals, it's been awhile... Thanks for stopping by to see what's up.. coming soon, I will have interviews and fashion shoots with DJ DUIJI 13, an up-and-coming dj and rap artist with a heightened style sense... his look is very '90s hip-hop with a modern twist, and his personality is off the charts. He is also launching a t-shirt and design company and he will tell you all about it on a future blog (coming super soon!).

I will also be going on a tour of the city of Philadelphia, trying on and shopping for clothes and styles with my buddy Mike Benford (SEE THE PIC).



He's a party-promoter in the Philly area and he's a big ol' bear! He's also one of the more stylish guys rocking the "bear look", so much so that a fledgling bear clothing company has asked him to be an exclusive model. Stay tuned for the photo shoot.

There will be much more to come as well; who knows, maybe I'll even get my boyfriend to show off his new summer wardrobe? We'll see..

Meanwhile, I wanted to say something: STYLE is infinitely > fashion. Fashion is for goth ninjas and the super elite. That's fine if that's your style, but true style never fades. Fashion is what the elite tell you that you should be wearing; style is more important, because it comes from the heart, and it's what you *feel like* wearing. The key thing that makes something stylish over fashionable, is that it has a long lasting quality: derby hats, army cargo pants, polo shirts.. these things never go out of style because they are classic and iconic. It's when you can mix these pieces with something more modern, give it a sense of flair, that you've created your own personal style. Why spend $600 on a crinkly pair of goth-ninja genie pants that won't be "in" in 6 months, when you can create whatever look you're going for all under 100 bucks for a whole outfit?? Hopefully, in the coming month or so, we will be able to explore these options!

so.. see ya soon!
