Snarky Behavior

Yesterday I introduced my new fashion line: the Fall 2007 “Fit for the Classroom, Fit for the Hood” 12 item set. To be honest, the first item I presented was actually the third item purchased in the set, due to the aforementioned inclement weather.

Let’s return back to the first item, or inspirational piece:

This item was purchased by my soon-to-be former roommate Allison and our mutual friend Jackie, who was in town for our last house party. The theme of the party was “streets of DC,” so it seems appropriate that my “New York Starter Set” begins with a District original:

“Fit for the Classroom, Fit for the Hood” Fall 2007
Product Line Item #2 of 12:
Pepe Jeans– Men’s Ryan Cubic Dice T-Shirt

This T-shirt by Pepe Jeans is the epitome of iconic imagery denotating upper echelon “hood status.” The multi-faceted dice face evoke the complex intelligence of both Picasso and Mah-Jongg, and the surreal “7 count” dice reminds us at once of both Miro’s imagination and Ashy Larry’s gambling addiction. The dice themselves cluster together delicately amidst the galaxy of stars, reflecting the inter-connectedness and inter-dependence of the classroom and ghetto.

The suggested retail value of the Ryan Cubic Dice shirt is $40.00… however, this item can be found at the Prince George’s County Marshall’s for half that amount. The item displayed above is green with lime accents; the item I own is teal with orange accents, size XL.

UPDATE

I just found out that Jackie’s credit card information was stolen at the PG County Marshall’s… it is highly suggested that you purchase all of the “Fit for the Classroom, Fit for the Hood” items in cash.
