So, my birthday is coming up and as you know I’m very subtle with my hints about gifts. So I won’t tell you that I want this more than anything in life. That’s not true. If you could get Shemar Moore to become my love slave I’d take that instead. But on the off chance that he is unavailable, I’ll take this. I mean…if you want. Look, subtlety is not my strong suit, so you can purchase it here and uhhhhh, thanks in advance.

I have a thing for clocks. Maybe its because I’m always late. It’s not my fault; I’m on CP time. Anyway, the folks at Qlocktwo have provided me oodles of entertainment while I dress frantically for my appointments. And for those of you who can’t tell time, you have found yourself an ally! Those of you who can’t read however have found an enemy. You can’t please everyone. And not to worry if your Dutch Aunt loves her some clocks because these lovely timepieces come in 6 different languages. There’s even an IPhone application for those of you feeling really fanatic. Or those of us who can’t afford the $1261 USD that the real clock costs.

Maybe it was the lackluster workweek, perhaps it was being accosted by the gregarious homeless man on the way home or maybe it was the Lifetime movie I just suffered through starring Gwyneth Paltrow and her father with a nub for an arm that killed her husband. Yeah, that was probably it. Either way, these shoes are speaking my soul. But before you go on a bloody rampage to please me, these are the only pair around…so think of a really good escape plan. This is the first edition by Revive Customs in a series that embrace his favorite horror directors. And I say violence is acceptable every now and then. Just ask nubby.

We’ve all heard the spiel on the deathly death germs that leach to your plastic water bottles, not to mention the global warming monster that lurks in our dumps on account of the million years it takes for plastic to decompose. But fear not! Café Press has taken the, oh so lovely SIGG bottles that have turned into the new generic IPodlike accessory and given you the paintbrush. For $27.99 for a liter bottle you can add whatever you want; your favorite pics, your raison d’être, maybe even your food shopping list. Whatever floats your boat! Well…I wouldn’t throw any slurs or death threats on there. People at the gym will likely call the proper authorities, you weirdo.

Wait…did the…where’s the…but how do you…? Now that is an MJ tribute! I’m not even going to try to figure these out. Kind of like Michael; a genius in his own reality. I’m just going to kick back and admire their greatness. New York based artist, Loren Kulesus did work on these concept shoes, the “Moonwalk Chucks” for Converse.

Reebok is getting a little gully with their new Top Down models featuring the signature art of famed artist, Jean-Michel Basquiat. Sak pase, homie? I’m obsessed with the black and white colorway, and not just because that chicken kind of reminds me of my favorite teacher from first grade. These are ridiculous and one of the many Top Down releases to come in the Fall 2009 collection. Pick mine yours up at colette.

Emeric de Meyer is a beastly Paris based illustrator who has worked with the likes of Adidas, Puma, Fila and myself. Oh wait, I’m in his future aspirations…that he is not yet aware of. He’s making such great strides I don’t want to make him nervous. In due time I will be his muse and finally get that giant cartoon self-portrait of myself. I’ve got plans…
