Fatlace x Transformers = The 2nd Drop
November 19, 2012 by Leave a Comment
This past weekend, Fatlace released Drop 2 of this Transformers graphic tee collection. I really like how they use the classic Transformers G1 line in shirt designs. You can drop by Illest SF or LA retail stores, but my brother said it’s better to just buy it online at Fatlace since the stores sometimes carry a limited selection. You maybe dropping a dime on these but it’s well worth it.

Tarzan Celebrates 100 Years!!!
November 16, 2012 by 1 Comment
Today we celebrate 100 years of Tarzan, the man-child raised by apes in the jungles of Africa, born from the imaginary mind of author Edgar Rice Burroughs who created the popular fictional character that first leaped onto printed pages in 1912.
When I received a review copy of Tarzan: The Centennial Celebration in the mail, I was really stunned at how beautiful this hardbound book was. Author and Tarzan fanatic Scott Tracy Griffin went all out – this book is a comprehensive collection of all things Tarzan and Edgar Rice Burroughs. First of all, this book has an awesome collection of illustrations, book art, comic book art, cover art, and archive photos from the various movies and television shows. It also covers various aspects of the Tarzan universe, such as, merchandising, toys, fan clubs, fan conventions, and it even includes a dictionary on what is known as “ape” language. I can speak ape now!

Bargain Hunting: Hoodie Galore

It’s that time of the year again. If you are sick of stressing over buying this or that for somebody and figuring your gift budget – it can get overwhelming. As for me I like some TLC for myself and if I’m on a budget instead of going to the outlets, I do like hitting up Ross and Marshalls. Name brand clothes that’s fashionable and stylish for a cheap price. You do have to spend some time searching around the racks and another very important tip, check zippers and buttons. Here’s my Ross haul this past week.
