His Finale

JUNE = MALE STYLE MONTH AT SIDE OF STYLE!!! And, as you know, after today that means it's OVER! Below you will see lyrics to one of my favorite Drake songs "Over", the last of the styling samples for MALE STYLE MONTH, and a photo of a young man I'd been dressing since he and I were kids. I was honored to dress him one last time for his funeral January 2011. My beloved cousin passed away 12/25/10 and last June I couldn't even view a photo of him without wanting to go close up in a room. But I thank the most high for strength, and I'm so glad this June I can view a photo of my late cousin and smile. I dedicate this MALE STYLE MONTH to Terrance "1DaBoy" Sweet (may he REST IN PEACE 12/7/80-12/25/10). Hope you guys enjoyed the MALE STYLE MONTH ride!

*Insert that explosive beat to Drake's "Over" here :)*

I know way too many people here right now that I didn't know last year
who the f*ck are y'all?
I swear it feels like the last few nights we've been everywhere and back
but I just can't remember it all
what am I doing, what am I doing?
oh yeah thats right, I'm doing me, I'm doing me
I'm living life right now man
and this what I'm do 'til it's over
'til it's over, it's far from over

Alright, bottles on me
long as someone drink it
never drop the ball, f*ck y'all thinking
making sure the young money ship is never sinking
bout to set it off in this b*tch Jada Pinkett
I shouldn't have drove, tell me how I'm getting home
you too fine to be laying down in bed alone
I can teach you how to speak my language Rosetta stone
I swear this life is like the sweetest thing I've ever known
got to go thriller Mike Jackson on these n*ggas
all I need is a f*cking red jacket with some zippers
super good smidoke a package of the swishas
I did it over night, it couldn't happen any quicker
y'all know them? f*ck it me either
but point the biggest skeptic out I'll make them a believer
it wouldn't be the first time I've done it throwing hundreds
when I should be throwing ones b*tch I run it

One thing bout music when it hits you feel no pain
and I swear I got this sh*t that makes these b*tches go insane
so they tell me that they love me I know better than that it's just game
it's just what comes from fame
and I'm ready for that I'm just saying
I really can't complain, everything is kosher
two thumbs up, Ebert and Roeper
I really can't see the end getting any closer
but I'll probably still be the man when everything is over
so I'm riding through the city with my high beams on
can you see me can you see me get your visine on
y'all just do not fit the picture
turn your widescreen on
if you thinking Imma quit before I die dream on
man they treat me like a legend
am I really this cold
I'm really too young to be feeling this old
it's about time you admit it who you kidding man
nobody's ever done it like I did it

I know way too many people here right now that I didn't know last year
who the f*ck are y'all?
I swear it feels like the last few nights we've been everywhere and back
but I just can't remember it all
what am I doing, what am I doing?
oh yeah thats right, I'm doing me, I'm doing me
I'm living life right now man
and this what I'm do 'til it's over
'til it's over, it's far from over!

Speaking of So and So

Speaking of Givenchy and Riccardo Tisci...I've been watching and the streets have been too...yes indeed!

In a Trance

This week my eyes have been fixated on Milan and all the Men's Fashion Week Spring 2013 haps...the only thing I have to say at this point is Riccardo Tisci and that darn GIVENCHY!

A few photo's from GUCCI Men's SPRING/SUMMER 2013 show in Milan on 6/25/12...they make it looks so easy right? Yes indeed!

Can't Stop Won't Stop

Imagine receiving a phone call asking if you’re interested in being the KING OF POP’S Costume Designer for his latest tour? Zaldy Goco was able to experience the opportunity of a lifetime when he received that exact call April 2009. Below are photos showing the result of that collaboration along with photos of MJ trying on some of those unreal designs (just days before his passing). At times, when I hear a MJ song, I have to remind myself he’s no longer apart of the living.

Continue to R.I.P. Mr. Jackson…WE JUST CAN’T STOPPING LOVING YOU!
