Jerry Meng's (Greyone) Tifs and my Clerks UNDFTD dunks at Embassy...

*For more pics of Mr. Meng's (and his better half, the lovely Rachel Piazza) "Manila Adventcha" (+G1Social Launch and Afterparty), click here.

"Footballer's Wives"

"Gunfighter", "Bandit", and "Saloon Girl"

Indeed.

...'Mordor' can also be substituted with any place of dubious repute...like "...the dentist", or

"One Does Not Simply Rock Into a Public Toilet"

Shithouse ( sh~it-haus)
adj. colloquial term to describe something unpleasant or really f*ckin god-awful.
" F*ck me! I lost my right testicle! This is shithouse! " ( context ex. from urban dictionary)

...one of my favourite cuss words...nay!...Words...ever. A very adaptable word, for any (however inappropriate) occassion. Must be said very quickly, as one word... (shitowse!) for full effect.

* I also enjoy dropping BOLLOCKS! here and there...

--Image from "The Annual Outhouse Races in Northern Michigan" (?!).... which really deserves a post of it's own!!! Check it out!

Hardware pick-up

Nerds are cool too! ...no, really! (I, of course being one...although I don't flash my card around too often)

** NOT this Dave White

ATMOS NYC x Nike Dunk

...as some of you may know, I have a little penchant for really bright kicks...or "Bloody 'ell!!!" kicks, as I like to call them...(even though trying to find a combo outfit is a killer in the mornings!).

So I'm definitely feelin' this colourway...

Two shades of Purple? Check. Aqua Toebox? Check. Bright green Safari print and 'Sangria' (really, who comes up with these colour names?) laces? Check...Check.

Breaking necks? CHECK!

...out June(-ish), from AtmosNYC

...from the last time I hit up "MegaManila"...

I feel like this is missing something in the signage...like, "On Ice"...

As the release of the new Transformers Movie looms...(don't f*ck it up, Bay!!)

Let's Compare This...

Drawn from one of the finest corporate art collections in the world this is an opportunity to view great contemporary works of art.

Already establishing a Grey One X Soul Assassins boutique in Pasadena , Jerry Meng expands the Grey One name to Manila , the first in South East Asia. Jon has already achieved success working as a DJ, marketing consultant, and club- owner of Embassy, while Rosario is one of the top fashion/celebrity stylists in Manila. She also heads her own creative agency, Style Lab .

The Herreras are no strangers to the street wear culture. The duo designed and produced Tru Youth, a lifestyle- clothing line inspired by people who stay young by living their dreams. They also launched their sub- line Unbreakable, a sneaker inspired t-shirt line produced exclusively for Manila." ---

"A rare wartime propaganda poster from World War II, using Donald Duck to urge soldiers to use condoms (prophylactics), is being auctioned off this month at hakes.com.
It is believed to be of Australian issue. The lower right insignia “4MCD,” is believed to be for the Fourth Medical Corps Division. Art is signed “Cyril Jones.” "
