Crooks and Castles 2011 footwear!!






Crooks & Castles just dropped a whole collection of shoes for this holiday season, and they’re all fairly dope. Glad to see a good mix of colorways & styles, Crooks always keeps it pretty fresh. Check all the shoes out after the jump.

Nike Lunar spider




To call these Nikes unique is a bit of an understatement, kind of like saying Charlie Sheen sort of likes hookers and blow… With all the color pop and contrast on the new Lunar Spiders you’ll look like you’re running even when you’re standing still or at very least you’ll convince your friends and everyone else who sees you that you’ve given up on matching.

James Bond esque GPS ski goggles



Glancing down at a personal fitness monitor while you’re skiing or snowboarding is about as smart as firing off a few texts while flying down the highway. Unfortunately, there really hasn’t been an option to track your progress while carving some slopes. The Only GPS Ski Goggles available from Hammacher Schlemmer don’t only make this possible, but will make you feel a bit like the Terminator in the process. A 2” LCD “Heads Up” display shows all sorts of performance stats right on the lens of the goggles. See the times of your runs, your max speed, the total ground you’ve covered and lots more without wiping out in the process. Even upload your data to your computer after your day is done with an included USB cable and free software. (By the way, if it isn’t obvious, the display screen is completely unobtrusive and will not block your view.) $500

$500

Andy Warhol : Motion Picture exhibit at MoMa


Andy Warhol: Motion Pictures focuses on the artist’s cinematic portraits and non-narrative, silent, and black-and-white films from the mid-1960s. Warhol’s Screen Tests reveal his lifelong fascination with the cult of celebrity, comprising a visual almanac of the 1960s downtown avant-garde scene. Included in the exhibition are such Warhol “Superstars” as Edie Sedgwick, Nico, and Baby Jane Holzer; poet Allen Ginsberg; musician Lou Reed; actor Dennis Hopper; author Susan Sontag; and collector Ethel Scull, among others. Other early films included in the exhibition are Eat (1963) and Kiss (1963–64). Twelve Screen Tests in this exhibition are projected on the gallery walls at large scale and within frames, some measuring seven feet high and nearly nine feet wide, while Kiss is shown at the rear of the gallery in a 50-seat movie theater created for the exhibition. Warhol’s film Empire (1964) will be shown in this theater every other Friday starting January 7, for the duration of the exhibition. Sleep (1963), in its entirety, will be shown in this theater on Wednesday, February 2, and Wednesday, March 2.
This exhibition is organized in collaboration with The Andy Warhol Museum, Pittsburgh. It was first conceived at The Museum of Modern Art, by Mary Lea Bandy, then Chief Curator, Department of Film and Media, and exhibited in 2003 as Andy Warhol: Screen Tests. With the addition of Warhol’s silent films, the show debuted as Andy Warhol: Motion Pictures at KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlin, in 2004. Over the past five years Klaus Biesenbach has organized the tour of the exhibition to Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Buenos Aires, Miami, Moscow, and Prague.

Gratefull Apparell clothing now available.



When you think christian apparal the words stunningn graphics and mindblowing colourways may not be what come to mind, but with the new addiction of Gratefull apparell to the store has come with it a look that almost is to cool for church. Colour splashes and subtle christian text is Raymond A. Rivera's way of bringing the christian life mainstream. This is his sites testimony..



Testimony:

For some reason I've always believed in GOD, speaking to him pretty regularly throughout my life, especially when I was in trouble or when I needed something.

For many years I struggled with drugs and alcohol, always taking two steps forward and stumbling back three or four—never being able to succeed in anything, always feeling empty and void.

I found a twelve step program that helped me with my drug abuse. The longer I stayed clean and the more I learned about myself, the more I realized that it is no coincidence that I am still here, alive and not in jail.

One day while attending a twelve step meeting, I heard a speaker who was talking about things that I could relate to. He also spoke about a freedom that we could all experience if we just surrendered to a Higher Power. (Because of the policies of the twelve step program it is suggested not to give your Higher Power a specific name so no one gets offended.)

At that point in my life I was clean from active addiction. But I was making money illegally. I felt that drugs took so much from me that I needed to catch up. Although I was making amounts of money that I had never seen before, I still had a void and always felt lonely. I like to remember sitting in my big house, in front of my big TV feeling miserable.

So when I heard that speaker talking about freedom, I was all ears.

To make a long story short, for the next few months I made sure I put myself in the same places that he would be (after all, I wanted what he had), building a relationship with who I now know as Pastor Raymond Ramos.

At that point in my life because I stopped using drugs and alcohol, I actually thought I was a better person.

Soon to realize that GOD had certain standards. And by trying from my heart and doing my absolute best to live by those standards that I too could live a life beyond my wildest dreams.

So I started to build a relationship with Jesus Christ. I started gradually giving small things up and immediately I started to see positive results. Anything negative that I gave up I was blessed ten times over.

Then finally I made a decision to give up all my old ways and live for Jesus Christ.

Pastor Adam Valenzuela once asked me, “Are you in love with Jesus Christ?” Sincerely, I smiled and answered, “YES.”

I sold my home, opening up a transitional house with my partner John Shinnick for recovering addicts who are trying to make a smooth transition back into society: THE 3SIXTY HOUSE.

I am going to church, reading the Bible, and devoting my life to Jesus Christ.

By turning my life and my will over to GOD, I started to experience life beyond my wildest dreams—BEYOND MY WILDEST DREAMS!

My relationship with Jesus Christ is so special to me. I wish I could explain it in words, but I just can’t. (It’s the warmest thing.)

The Bible is like an instruction manual on how to live your life, how to treat people, how to treat yourself, how to have a relationship with Jesus Christ, and how to prepare for the promise land!

Today I am almost 9 years clean. I have a beautiful wife, Jessica Rivera ; a beautiful daughter, Emily Nicole Lee Rivera; friends; and family that trust and believe in me. And to top it off, I have an amazing relationship with Jesus Christ. I am truly blessed and GRATEFUL, only through God's Grace. What can I say? THANK YOU LORD! 1 TIMOTHY 12–14.

God Bless,

Raymond A. Rivera

(I wrote this testimony while on the yellow school bus with my beautiful daughter on our way to Ellis Island for a school trip.)
