• Tighten it up ! !

  National controversy came after a few years of baggy pants.  Yep, can you believe that cities in Georgia, New Jersey, and some others were actually going to ban baggy pants?  They were going to impose fines of up to $500.  That is crazy. Well, in my opinion, law makers have little to worry about these days.  It seems to me that baggy pants are on their way out.  Pants and jeans that FIT are in.  No longer is everyone under 24 showing off their latest and greatest "I heart Mom" underwear carefully cascading under the tshirt and just over the studded belt around the waist.   Nope, not so anymore.  Most guys are leaving a little more to the imagination in that sense and showing off what sports and PE class have done for our legs and rear.  Now don't get me wrong.  Tight is out too.  Pants that FIT seem to be all the rage.  Many superstars are doing the same thing.  Check out Ferrell or some others and the threads they wear on the south side of their bodies.    Try out a pair of pants that FIT.  I bet you'll get a FITTING reaction.

• Shoelaces Where?

  So one of my good friends, Ish, (prounounced eesh) has been wearing shoelaces ON HIS BELT. It started back when he was low on belts and his last one snapped. All he had left was his skateboard and shoelaces. In the day of saggy pants, this wasn't working out. He took a shoelace out and busted it into his belt. I 've been telling him for years that it was lame, but guess what? I was wrong. It's a big thing in the skating community. No longer does the leather of a belt bust in the the abdomen as you are trying to pop a shove it or some other cool trick. The lace did however cause a bit of a problem in the junk area though. Yep, that's right, as some skaters were ollying cracks in the cement, their own personal junk drawer crack sometimes showed.   Some skateboard clothing manufacturers have now put lace loops in their new belt loop area. This makes the pants a hybrid of sorts. Want a belt or laces, either way will work with these pants. I'm not sure I can pull the lace look off. I have been blessed or cursed with a big back end and not sure a mere shoelace will keep my pance up. If you want to follow in Ish's footsteps or all those skaters out there, grab a lace or toe and see what happens. (Beware of skaters saying you're "posing") I think fashion is for everyone, no matter where it originated. If you like it, use it.

• Hit the Target

  Soooo...... I can't believe what I found. I know, I know, you never really think of this place for fashion, but I loved what was there that caught my fancy. Drum roll please.........bah dum dum.... the place is TARGET. Yes, that's right, TARGET. See I went there for some bedroom essentials; air freshner plug ins (don't ask), towels, etc., and I looked in the men's section. Target has some cool tees and you know how I love hats. I picked up an awesome horizontal striped tee in grey and red (my friend thinks it's pink), and a couple of cool hats. Everything was super affordable and great quality. Check out these hats.        The fedora is a hit and I bought the other one in black. What have you been finding and where? Let me know.
