Anomali Streetwear - Year One



Anomali Streetwear is new clothing company that is now open for business. Their designs are bold and in your face with controversial yet thought provoking images.

I was given a prototype before they launched in July and I love the shirt the shirt I'm wearing (while trying to be photogenic in the morning):

Mr. Solo Dolo



Yo, I'm digging Kid Cudi's Debut album Man on The Moon: The End of Day. Its a true conceptional album whose out of the box nature inspires me to exceed further boundaries! This will certainly be in heavy rotation in the Skills-mobile! I met him at this past year's SXSW festival, backstage during the G.O.O.D Music showcase. Cool dude!

L to R: Mic Skills & Kid Cudi:

Online SALE @ Moral Fabric



Moral Fabric is a line of unique, designer organic cotton t-shirts for men and women. Our t-shirt designs focus on the psychedelic art movement of the 60’s and 70’s, ancient Middle Eastern mosaic patterns, perception vs. reality, spiritual ideologies, and the intelligent designs of Mother Nature.

Currently all their shirts are on sale for $9.99 or less! I've got mine, what about you?

L to R: Mic Skills, Digi, Hollywood Floss, Rad & Thurogood Wordsmith

I don't wanna grow up, I'm a Toys R' Us Kid!

I'm a loyal T-Fan, have been and always will be! Don't believe me? I'm far from a newbie, in addition to owning the 1986 movie on Beta, VHS, DVD (1 with swearing and 20th Anniversary 2 Disc Collector Set) I know it word for word!

So Yes, I am a nerd, but I'm also talented rap artists (who presented a song called "More Than Meets The Eyes" for the 2007 movie, peep the fan made video), an amateur chef and I have a pretty good jump shot too!

I digress.

Seeing these accurate versions of the G1 characters puts a smile on my face and potentially a dent in my pocket.

They retail at $100 to $250 ea and they're only available in Japan.

Vacation anyone?
