Rogue Culture Aficionado

Last week was incredible!!! Our New President elect, Barack Obama, made history as the first black man to ever achieve our nations highest office. This of course has had a rippling effect around the globe for various social and economic reasons. I for one have never witnessed other countries around the world, from Australia to Kenya, so ecstatic to see our country's newly elected President. Furthermore, children of every race, will no longer be bound to the old unspoken rules, images, and beliefs, that our country can only be lead by "old white men." The door of change, and hope, has been significantly cracked open and it's up to future generations to kick in the door for anyone, man or woman, brilliant-, driven- and dedicate- enough to successfully lead our country; not as a multitude of races, religions, and creeds, but rather as The United States/People of America!

There is no greater threat to your manhood than the styles thwarted upon us by websites like, Mens.Style.com. I peruse the site on occasion and find they do have some interesting content... On occasion. I was lured there this time by a Lebron James x Ralph Lauren inspired, limited edition, collectible, basketball and clicked because I was curious. Tell me this wouldn't be cool to have autographed, by the designer and the player:

But then I scrolled down and came across this horrible shoe called the Quoddy, (sorry, SouthWillard.com,$250.00 is too much for this) which illustrates a small part of the problem with men's fashion and the people that attempt to dictate our style to us not for us and have only a vague view of what men really want to wear.

Do yourself a favor... grab a pair of the Adidas ZX700 Boat Shoe (about $100) instead and really step into the Fall season like a man. Here are 3 different styles from the staple and low key to the fashion forward.

Look for Part 2 of my criticism of men's style design.
