The Simpsons has been running since 89 and has kept us all entertained with its play on the stereotypes of a modern American family.
Over the years we have seen Marge in her underwear occasionally, in episodes usually about Homer trying to save their marriage.

This month Playboy are celebrating the 20 year anniversary of the show by releasing a special edition, in which Marge Simpson headlines.
The hype behind this event has been all over the web for weeks now and finally we can get a peak at some of Matt Groening's sexy Marge pics.

Its still quite shocking seeing Marge in the all-together, never the less its more then worth noting.

This week Jay-Z was seen at the Yankees victory that saw them into the World Series for the first time in six years.

He is wearing a pair of Cazal 607's as made famous by the mighty RUN DMC. I have had a look around the web for a couple of options for anyone looking to pick up a pair.

The Originals
They are very pricey these specs and come with a lot of history. I found an original pair at popularglasses.com for a whopping $349;

The Substitute
The price difference is astounding here, as you can pick these up on ebay for as little as $8.99. The quality I can't vouch for but for that money you can't complain. Again in the UK try to use ebay.co.uk as it will only show you sellers willing to ship to the UK and will indicate the price in sterling.

As always, thanks for reading and remember always
try to get the original brand whenever possible!
Don't wear fake trainers or clothes,
Its not a good look.




In this section I give an insight in to some of my best kicks, caps and hats.
This week I wanna show you my The Hundreds X Disney X New Era Peter Pan Fitted.

It features a solid bowl, which means unlike every other New Era I have seen, you can't fold this cap to go in a case, its solid. The story behind this piece is that The Hundreds teamed up with Disney to make a range of Peter Pan designs for shirts, hoods and caps. They focused on the lost boys and dressed them in typical "The Hundreds" gear. This project was quite special as Disney allowed them to use the original illustrators for the work. They also sourced the material for the Peter Pan New Era from the original used to make Pan's hat in the Disney Store children's costume from the early 90's. The signature feather sewn on the side is thicker then any stitching seen before on a New Era and gives the feather its own dimensions away from the bowl.

I managed to get hold of the Peter Pan New Era after some frantic ebaying. People were cueing up for hours on the morning of release in LA, they only made 100 so most of the people cueing were left disappointed. I still don't wear it out but here are a few decent promo shots of the cap and expect me to be wearing it in a photo shoot coming up soon.

Every month I will be picking a brand to do a few posts about, talking about the history and outlining the clothing and style artists in question.

Upper Playground Part 1

I am starting this month with a brand I have been a fan of for a long time now and have spent obscene amounts of money on in the past. Upper Playground is an art based clothing brand from the US. They have a flagship store in Carnaby Street, London (nearest tube Oxford Circus). The store itself is a piece of art in my opinion and takes you back to the old school skate shop style.

They actually make a range of stuff under the banner of Upper Playground. From skateboards to vinyl art toys to shower curtains all designed by artists handpicked for Upper Playground. The concept they have created at UP is to allow great untouched talent in the urban design and photography world to create a life style for the urbanised hipster.

They have had collaborations with corporate giants such as Adidas and yet still hold a very authentic and art for the sakes of art ideal. You couldn’t call UP a fine art as it is based around design made for skateboards and querky t-shirts, although when I think of UP I think of the artist being put before the branding. Even on their online store www.upperplayground.com you can shop by artist.

They have put great designers such as Mike Giant, Jeremy Fish and Sam Flores in the limelight of Street Wear and created sub-brands for each of them along the way. This week I will be going down to the flagship store in London to ask a few questions to whomever is behind the counter. If there is anything you would like to hear UP answer then comment your questions here and I will do my best to put them to their staff. Here are a few more images to show the range of products and art work they create at UP.

As always, thanks for reading!

Kicks and Fitteds Watch is a weekly run down of the trainers, fitted caps and watches that have caught my eye.


FITTEDS

Usually i don't go for standard New Era hats but this one stands out for me this week, its been a long time coming and perfect for winter. The new Lakers Dog Ear all purple fitted from New Era. The color is amazing and definitely would go nicely with a pair of purple Supra TK Society's. The only reason i haven't picked this one up myself is because I am a dedicated Boston Celtics fan, couldn't be seen dead in a lakers new era...............still tempting. Available in all New Era flagship stores world wide and soon to be on www.neweracap.co.uk

Next up is KidRobot's latest piece. Made of fleece instead of wool, which they have been renowned for using on their premium winter fitted's, KR have created a stunning cap for their winter collection. Designed by one of their top artists, who i feel often underrated in theworld of Vinyl Art Toys, Kronk. Another feature yet to be displayed in the preview pack is of a plaster design sewn onto the beak.

Available now at; kidrobot.com/

KICKS

Adidas, sometimes they get it horribly wrong and a lot of the time they just bore me senseless but this week i have spotted a pair that any Celtics fan should own! Check out the tongue on these bad boys! They aren't designed for the court, more for the couch potato NBA fan but this pair in green with this seasons swing man shorts are a must have come play off season. Retailer news has not yet been released for this pair so expect to do some digging or ebaying to find a pair.

Next up is a pair of furry Air Force 1s from Nike Sportswear. If your like me and went nuts when Nike SB released the three bears pack (which I still rock the papa bear pair) or you have seen Nike’s “Caged” panda dunks then these should get your tail wagging. AF1’s are usually too “plasticy” for me in their patent leather and a bit too common but this pair stands out. Check out Sticktlyfitteds.com who are running a comp to win a pair in your size. These are extreeeemely rare kicks so again ebay for them.

Last but by no means least is this new piece of eye candy from Alife. They have put together a show stopping set of “Chuck All Weather monochromatic” shoes. Coming in only Blue, Red and Green we expect these to drop any time soon and without a doubt will be available at pickyourshoes.com

WATCHES

This week I have gone for two quite similar models from casio and found a great His and Her’s, if you will. Here is the His’, it’s the G-Shock 6900 Military edition in all black, apart from some minor detailing on the screen. Although I have split these two as his and hers they are actually both unisex and if the all black masculine G-shock is your style then wear it with pride! This timepiece is available at pickyourshoes.com and all major G-shock retailers.

And for the ladies… The brand new (and to be honest about time really) G-shock mini in baby pink. Its not my cup of tea but perfect for its purpose. Also available at pickyourshoes.com and flooded with them on ebay.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Now I have left the best till last here. The G shock G-300sc-6A in purple! This watch looks immense, I have to say I will shake the hand of anyone who picks up one of these. They are relatively cheap at the moment on ebay and I cant find them else where yet. With a digital and analog watch in one and such a striking color I am shocked to find this watch available for as little as $100 or £60. Lets hope we don’t get bitten on the shipping in the UK!
