what I want for hannukah
CRISIS:
What personal identity brand can I use to distinguish myself at college?!
This has basically been my huge concern of mine for a while. I think it's time for a change.
my 'look' starting spring 10: ALL-OUT BADASSSSSSSS.
so here's what I want for hannukah. take notes.
BOTTOMZ:

look at these jeans.
look how worn these jeans are. these are 'extreme weather washes.'
if you are to believe
Diesel's marketing, and you know that I do (check out these interactive animations), they apparently treat these jeans by HURLING THEM INTO TORNADOES N SHIT!! How sick is that. "You think you can front with me? my jeans survived a fucking tornado."
then there's these ed hardy pants (click to enlarge).

from the description
Random nicking and rhinestone details help these comfortable Ed Hardy
jeans strike the right balance between old school comfort and modern attitude.
OLD SCHOOL COMFORT. MODERN ATTITUDE.
I am a guidobro. I work out. I installed a tanning salon in my condo. I go out 'clubbing' and fuck some guidettes. my life ambition is to be on the popular MTV show "the jersey shore."
maybe I should even get one of these just so everyone checking out my ass understands my loyalty to the ed hardy brand.

TOPZ:
various t-shirts from
Affliction like these:

and these:

don't you want to be this guy???
also, throw in some big dog shirts for good measure, let em know who's boss:


also this choice is completely unironic, I actually really want this and would buy it in a second if it weren't $216 (?!?!!?!??!?!?!!?!?!)

ACCESSORIEZ:
this fucking DOPE tiger necklace. me-
ow!
top it off with an INDIAN SKULL AFFLICTION HAT!!!

all of these things represent distinctly unique aspects of the 'badass' persona, so I was concerned they might clash. however I think by using them all at once I may have created a new post-ironic meta-brand.

nowhere feels like home
go to iceland to work on an organic farm
smoke only menthols (one at a time) alone in the morning when no one else is out
go into the woods and stand on one foot
sit on hardwood floors with an unnaturally straightened back
eat food in silence
listen only to cassettes in the car with no heat on
piss outside naked without touching
read in places you've never been before
sleep without a pillow
