R.I.P. Junior, Senior

(via weblo.com, vextra.dk)

This should not be news to anyone. Junior, Senior disbanded in late 2008. However they will always have a place in my heart. Mostly because of Senior simply known as Jepee nowadays. Junior, of course, is the scrawny one. Senior, the somewhat bulkier one. Based off images or preconceived notions one could assume Junior is homosexual and Junior the straight one. Not quite the case and although this definitely showed in their lyrics, the spirit created by the duo was that of a free love. A big, fun, loving, gay guy is someone I can look up to. I was about 15, when "Move Your Feet," their most recognizable track came on to the scene in the U.S. It was that mash up blend of hip hop I love so much. Thanks Jepee for showing everyone how it's done. Big, gay guys just wanna have fun too!

Oh La LANVIN!

This is kind of late considering Lanvin just showed S/S '11 this past weekend but I feel I had to share this with you all. I love Lanvin and I love Alber and Lucas. This necklace is so me on so many different levels. The graffiti can bring in such a bougie/ghetto, tongue-in-cheek aspect to an outfit which is what I definitely look for when it comes to necklaces. Accessories can sometimes make much more of a statement than clothes. I would pair this with a banker stripped oxford, sleeves rolled up or perhaps a blazer with a simple v-neck tee.

Cool Guys: Jonah Hill

Sometimes it's hard to have a good sense of body image when you're bombarded with images of skinny, "cool" guys. Sure Hollywood has had some chubby leading men but their somewhat older and I cannot relate to them. He's 26 years old making us 5 years apart. Jonah has appeared in tons of films most recognizably to most people perhaps, "Superbad," more recently "Cyrus" and "Get Him to the Greek," which inspired today's post. When I saw GHG, I thought that could easily be me which was pretty awesome. You can only imagine how stoked i was when I saw him as the cover star for the latest issue of Nylon for Guys. The clothes were kind of a yawn. I would have preferred that they had sourced an awesome vintage jacket' instead of the Nike, Lacoste, and Burberry. Maybe they were just keeping within his comfort zone. Baby steps! Baby steps! While trying to find a cover shot of the Nylon with Jonah on the cover I stumbled across another cover for Complex magazine from sometime last year.
