Avoid The Grey

Last Thursday I went to the Avoid The Grey Fashion Show @ La Bodega Tapa's Bar in Uptown with some friends. This was the third fashion show I've been too and I really do enjoy them. Unfortunately, the venue for this particular fashion show wasn't ideal. The place was really small and super crowded, the lighting was bad, and there wasn't any defined "catwalk", people were literally walkin across it to get to the other side of the room.. That really took away from the overall feel, but the biggest issue I had was not being able to see much or take good pictures . The fashion shows I've been to in the past have been @ bigger venues and had the catwalk on an elevated level in order to keep the main focus on whats being modeled.. I managed to capture a few "okay" photos. Overall, the designs were pretty good and some of the models were really fly, as were a lot of the women in the crowd :)



i think it'd be really ill to have my own warehouse so I could rent out or host fashion shows and dance parties, etc.. definitely on my to-do-list by age 27 haha



afterwards, got some decent pizza @ Slice of New York in uptown, i forget which street tho

free day...

It's been a lil' while since I've posted last.. Haven't really been too keen on taking pics as of late, however I did have a day off from work today, and what better way to spend it than shopping in the Twin Cities wit my close homies..

First stop was 6TwelvePremium.. Nice lil' spot off of Selby n I forget, Definitely one of the doper spots I've been to in the Twin Cities. I didn't cop anything my first run through, but I checked out the overall inventory and a lot of things were looking nice.. They carry "The Hundreds", "Stussy", "Crooks & Castles", "ALIFE", "10DEEP", and many other brands a lot of people aren't up on in MN, nor do many places in carry em.. f*ck yo zumiez ni99a

next stop was Friedman's in the North side of Minneapolis on Broadway.. Hands-down the best sneaker spot in Minnesota.. only issue I had with friedmans is that they didn't have anymore reebok pumps! f" you sam brewer for coppin the last pair of pump hi's.. i could of gave them a lil better life than being trampled on by oregon hipsters ! ;)

Our next stop was Status located in Calhoun Square via Uptown, Mpls.. Cool lil' spot, unfortunately this time around I didn't think to take any pictures, but don't trip they didn't really have much to offer and their inventory was looking very famished.. They did have a pair of glow in the dark Reebok Pumps and the Optimus Prime (VOLTRON) Reebok Pumps tho


Last clothing stop was @ Urban Outfitters, where I picked up a few t-shirts on sale and the NYLON LookBook (bigup2M.A.onthesnatch), if you're into street fashion and you don't have one, head to ur local bookstore and get a copy asap otherwise order it online.. Definitely a must have, or else you can compile your own book by snatchin flics from the many street fashion blogs out there..

We ate @ The Lotus Vietnamese Restaurant on Hennepin Ave... Heads up to those who haven't ate there.. Only go there during lunch so you can catch a special otherwise the prices go up drastically, but the food quality doesn't.. Also, if you choose to eat dinner, but still want to go the cheap route, DO NOT ORDER the combination plate.. Both of my friends said the chicken wings were terrible ("basked in donut batter"), and they gave you a minimal amount of fried rice :( Continue Reading »
