The Mainframes Just Might Become My Main Squeeze.

Well, in spectacle-speak of course. And by “spectacle-speak” I mean in terms of sunglasses, and my newfound love for this LA-based line of saucy lokes for that pretty little face of yours. I speak for many, a fast growing fanbase of loyal customers, when I say that The Mainframes were a necessary development in the [...]

Current Crush: Boys In Bow Ties

That was me tweeting from my iPhone, “Fred” (Short for Fab Phone Freddy) and swooning at every turn as more and more boys in bow ties descended upon 1 Front Street in Brooklyn for The Brooklyn Circus’ 1st Ever Holiday Party.

I’m not complaining, just observing you know? And noticing that no one really seems to want to be present. Or maybe [...]

Allison Torneros at Face Value

It’s a little before 9PM and “Off the Wall” is blasting through the speakers.

In the middle of it all stands artist/entrepreneur Allison Torneros, the host [...]

It’s a satchel!

One thing many people don’t know about me is the amount of backpacks I own. There are five right now in the ten foot radius surrounding me. I know there are a bunch more scattered around my mom’s and my dad’s respective garages, and I’ve sold a few to make ends meet in college. I’ve [...]

Friday Evening.

Back again with some things that tickled my fancy. Nike ACG Gore-Tex Jacket A big splash with beautiful details and the fit looks impeccable. The black leather details spattered about with black taping on the pockets, wow. This looks like the Burberry trenchcoat of Nike. Please make this jacket consistently every season so I can [...]
