We got a special Jazz Valentines Mix this week brought to you by DJ Castles aka Track Master the Plague. I know I’m single this year, but you can’t listen to this and be in a bad mood. It’s just not humanly possible. Good job on this one, Castles!
Bar Hopping Jacket! no no the for whatever Jacket
This leather jacket is a must for all night outings. Imagine drunk bitches at the bar and they suddenly slap the beer next to you and it spills all over. Well good thing you have this awesome jacket to save you. Imagine if you were to get pulled over at night by a 5-0. Little do they know that you are a pilot but in reality you are not. Dreams do come true once this Jacket is on. Who do we have to thank for this? We’ll TOP MAN of course.
For all legit men in this city, the new spring/summer collection for ZARA man has arrived. This collection makes you want to quit your job and buy a cafe bike and ride around town and just have people look at you. But you can only do that if you’re Bruce Wayne. The jackets and trousers are a must in this collection. Who said that going nude in the bottom is not the way to go. Well i think that the nude collection of trousers goes very well with the dark theme of all the leather jackets. Im sure all the ladies down by the CHA CHA will go bananas for you after seeing you riding in style. Just make sure to keep a few bucks in your inner pocket of your jacket and your set to paint the town red. The best thing about ZARA is that their price points are very fair and their cuts and patterns are much more better than H&M’s…I dont know its just a personal opinion. Enjoy this collection.

Dj Castles Track Master The Plague Weekly Mix Feb 6 Mix Christian Castillo
Spring collections are out but it usually takes a month or two for the “good shit” to hit the stores. I don’t really get into the floral/loud print steez until March/April. Right now I’m all about keeping it basic. I’m not ready to let go of fall yet! Snagged some basic h&m tanks, 2 shirts from Zara Trafaluc (A bit of Sweet)- front is cropped and the back runs long, and h&m high waisted/daisy-printed shorts (ya I know, floral, but so cutes). But I’m in love with this over-sized silver chained necklace from H&M.
Went on some productive thrifting missions with Jones & Castles the past couple weekends. Who would’ve guessed we’d find gold at the Valley Value Center? Pictures coming soon.
Circa 2008. Yesterday marked the beginning of Chinese New Year. For all my fellow 1987-ers, it’s the year of the Metal Rabbit. According to the Chinese Zodiac, those born under the sign of the Rabbit will have a good year, and, in addition, the lucky sign of the rabbit will bring luck to everybody else as well. Chinese predictions foretell that those born in the year of the Rabbit will truly have a wonderful year in love, in art, in all else.
I’M. SO. F-ING. READY.
Made my usual rounds at vogue.com today and came across a noteworthy Spring Collection. I gathered 6 of my favorite looks from Yves Saint Laurent’s Spring ‘11 Ready-to-Wear runway show. Stefano Pilati is one of my favorite designers and I love love love that he incorporated a ton of dresses and strayed away from the usual white, nautical spring themes. I haven’t been very impressed with other RTW collections this season. Dior came out with an amazing line, however. I’ll save that for another post. Enjoy.

The original flyer I created was apparently too “80’s” for The Black Boar’s liking. So here it is, version 3.0… minus all the bells & whistles, color, and ghetto lingo. I think it came out okay. Note: I’m not a graphic designer. I just like clothes…. don’t hate on me. Thanks.
Oh that’s right… the pawty. So Sofie’s “Mustache Extravaganza” Birthday, you’ll find all the info on the flyer. Great tunes provided by our very own DJ Rude Boy aka Jones Perry aka THE BRAIN. Stop by and watch this foolish pinoy spin! Come one, come all. And don’t forget your ‘stache.
