that nu-nu...vol I

admittedly...i'm not that into fashion (to the point where i watch fashion tv or any of the reality shows about top designers etc) but i do like to get fresh and keep it fly on a regular basis (plus i have a subscription to GQ, Vibe, Complex and King magazine so i'm certified upscale fly while keeping it respectably hood...both a hustler mentality and a scholarly gentleman married with perfection). lol. plus i like seeing my people look good so on occassion i'll be posting some hot items that i will be referring to as that nu-nu.

there won't be any crazy shit like ice cream shoes or shirts (ugliest most overpriced tacky shit i've ever seen in my life) or denim suits or matching short sets (why does every rap-owned clothing label come out with a denim suit or a short set? this is what people buy when they have no style and need shit pre-matched for them) and of course no all-over-print hoodies...this is fly shit for grown ass people...those other things are tacky and played if you're over 12 years old. also...if you are a grown ass man and wearing anything with glitter on it or that looks like someone made it with a ghetto bedazzler you need your ass whooped. period. moving on...

so "nu-nu" for those unaware is a hood term for whatever the newest hottest items/things are on the market. so with that said...this is a little bit of that nu-nu for the summer.

1. time pieces

Philippe Starck watches for Fossil. they're actually based on a design Starck debuted in 2004's holiday season but he's made a new line with 3 watches for the guys and a single watch for women in different color variations.


2. some smell good

smells are a big part of attraction for me (and i know people are in to different things but i've never heard anyone say they like musty honeys so i'm sure i'm not the only one). so here are a few ideas of something fresh to spray on after you wash your ass.

Guerlain Acqua Allegoria Herba Fresca perfume

for the honeys that want a fresh...clean scent. it's actually infused with lemons and herbs. an invigorating mix of lily and cyclamen (whatever that is). good choice for a first date or going out.



Prada Metallic Limited Edition perfume

if you want more of a classic scent this metal box with the fabric label will work. a sandalwood oil base and patchouli leaves (NO IDEA what that is but it sounds sexy...say it with me...patchouli) makes for a sophisticated fragrance reminiscent of other Prada scents.


Jo Malone Lotus Blossom & Water Lily cologne

this cologne is actually based on Jo Malone's interpretation of Kohdo, an ancient Japanese incense ceremony that energizes the wearer and also invigorates the sexual urges of the woman with a use of natural scents to stimulate the hormones. mix of mandarin, lotus blossom, bamboo and aloeswood comes together for a very clean refreshing scent.

Susanne Lang Vanilla Coconut perfume

a mix of Tahitian vanilla, coconut and pineapple meet fig leaf and red torch ginger (don't know if i'm supposed to be horny or hungry?) to create a tropical spa-like scent. for the honeys that want to smell a little exotic or tropical. again...not sure if this will make a man want to talk to you or eat you but i guess both could be a good thing right?

that's it for now. i'll put some other stuff up later. i don't really think i'll be doing a lot of clothing items since styles vary and what you're into is your own choice. i'll be dealing more with accessories and fly things to accent your own style and upgrade your fresh.

sidenote: yes...i realize i put 3 perfumes and only one cologne but...seeing as how i care more about what the honeys smell like it made sense to me. any guys wanting a few tips on some good items to keep in the collection check out any Lacoste's scents, FCUK Him by French Connection UK, Very Sexy for Him by Victoria Secret and the classic Dolce.

stay away from Joop (unless you're over 56 and want to hit the Townhouse or the VFW) and Burberry (played out and even the real stuff is starting to smell bootleg).

peace.
