It's Going to Be a Thing: The Revival

It's been a while since I've done an it's going to be a thing, but I'm back. And the people rejoice. But seriously, I guess I just haven't been inspired recently. Until now. Duh Duh Duhhhhhhh.

So what's going to be a thing in the upcoming months/years do you ask? I'll tell you!

Southwestern! It's ready and rarin' for a revival. I'm thinking Ponchos! Turquoise Jewelry! Navajo inspired patterns. Oh yeah, it's all gonna be there. Personally I may only be embracing the Turquoise jewelry, but whatevs.


Oh yeah, that looks nice.


We're going to be seeing this skirt mass produced an in H&Ms everywhere. Mark my words.

I don't know, I just have a feeling about this one. It may be because I've been so into western romance novels recently, or maybe it's my insane desire to go see the grand canyon, but something has gotten the inspiration juices flowing. Alls I'm saying, is that if I was designing my next fashion line, Southwestern influences would be all up over the place.

So what do y'all think? Read More......

It's Going to Be a Thing / Educate Yoself! Part II

This month's It's Going to Be a Thing - Obi Belts! (Below - a particularly wearable variety)


I hold a special place in my heart for Obi Belts as 1. They are from Japan 2. I made one of my own for my fabric history class. Actually I really wish I could wear it, but I made it with indigo dyed fabric, which is awesome, but would rub off on my clothes. I need to figure out a solution for this problem... 3. I had to listen to a report about the history of Obi's during above said class.

Moving on!


I noticed a LOT of obi belts during the Fall 2009 Fashion week. This is what got me thinking about them as plausible to become a widespread trend. As you are all aware, belts have just been so popular for quite a few years now, and I don't see that ending anytime soon. In my opinion obis are the best of all that belts have to offer. They come in many different styles, and are functional, but so cute too. Below is an obi from the Rag and Bone show.


Obis also made an appearance at the Lacoste show:


Elie Tahari was practically a lesson in the history of the obi as they used everything from the early, skinny variety, to the later, wider variety of obi. Though I didn't particularly care for most of the clothes, the show is worth taking a look at for the belts alone.

Well, you all just lucked out. I was planning on giving you a little history lesson concerning the obi belt and their development over time. But it turns out there aren't any readily available websites concerning this issue, so as I do not want to go on my memory of the history of the obi belt alone, I will spare you all so I don't risk spreading any erroneous information. The obi belt is a fascinating article of clothing and deserves historical accuracy. So let's just leave it at - the obi started out really skinny, then gradually got wider and wider until the mid to late Edo period (abouts 1600 - 1870) when it reached it's pinnacle of necessity, width, and ornateness. Also - just a common fact here. The obi belt is used to secure kimono. Just throwin out the obvious facts here. Just in case.

Well, that's it I guess. I am willing to give a lecture on Obi and Kimono any day. Just let me know when and you can book me for a lecture hall near you. Thank you. Thank you. I'll be waiting by my phone.

It's Going to Be a Thing / Educate Yoself!

I'm so excited about this next it's going to be a thing! I am 100% endorsing/going to wear this once I get my grimy mitts (shoutout guitar hero world tour!) on one.


Turban headbands! And maybe just turbans in general for those very daring people. Turbans have such an interesting history, so I'm going to look into that a little bit for you all. Because I know you're interested. Or I will force you to be.


Generally speaking, a turban is a single piece of cloth that is wrapped around someone's head to serve as a head covering. Humans have practiced this form of habillement since fabric was invented - but we won't get into that subject! That's a WHOLE other post!

Generally turbans are worn in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. It seems to me that the reason turbans are more prevalent here is due to environmental elements. Heat, little coverage from the sun, dust, and other harsh environmental challenges all make turbans a practical choice for fending off the specific elements that are common to these areas. Religion is also a large factor in the use of turbans (although I would still argue that even the religious rules regarding turbans stem back to environmental causes - but again, that is a TOTALLY different post altogether). In particular, the Sikh faith requires that men cover their un-cut hair. It's probably a good bet that most of the people who wear turbans in the western world are of the Sikh faith.

Turbans didn't really become popular in the European world until the late 17th century. But at that time they were solely worn by men who would wear them while relaxing in lieu of their wigs. Oh those were the days. Women didn't pick up on this trend until about a century later. In fact, the first recorded use of the English word "turban" for a Western female headdress is in 1776 (thanks Wikipedia).

In the west, Turbans had two particular points of popularity. The first era that saw a rise in the popularity of the turban was that most beloved of eras - Regency! I'm assuming that they were so popular at this time because of exoticism, orientalism - you know how that went. They were generally worn with formal outfits at this point in fashion history. You can bet that if I lived in regency - I SO would have rocked this look. In fact - in the Kiera Knightly 'Pride and Prejudice', in the scene at Bingley's Ball (all white dresses - so glorious) there is one girl wearing a magnificent turban-esque head piece and I always say that she is me and I am her (besides me being Lizzy. Obviously.).



The other time that saw a great popularity in turbans in womens wear was the 1940's and 50's. This time around they seemed to have much more flexibility of use and could be worn casually (cover up those curlers gurl!) or still formally (I'm thinking Joan Crawford - she must have worn one at some point, or just should have, because that image is inexplicably in my head.)


So chic! I just really dig this look and I think it's rarin' for a come back. The milinary art deserves more respect!

And if you doubt that this trend has legs - Exhibit A: My favorite contemporary style icon of all time. Blair Waldorf.


She is one glorious bitch and I will follow her just abouts where ever she leads me.

It's Going to Be a Thing: Adventures in Pants

Note: This post has a lot of links to pictures featured on other websites. It may seem annoying to have to click on all of these outside links, but I urge you to do it. The pictures are awesome. And that way you won't be confused when I reach the conclusion of my post.

The Sartorialist is always an inspiring blog fashion-wise. But recently there have been some images that have been even more inspiring than usual.

This was the first image on his site to feature these crazy wide-legged pants. Then a couple days later, he posted this image with similar pants. They really stuck with me in a positive way, and put me in mind of a picture that I saw on Shorpy a long time ago. (Note the guy all the way to the right).

The 1930's/1940's feel of these pants really fits for me right now (see Hobo chic post previous). But as all of these images feature men, I thought to myself - how will this translate to women? The only word I can think of is Palazzo, but honestly most palazzo pants are ugly and.. ugh... just no way. So here is what I came up with:


High waisted, extreme wide leg. Very nice. I can see them with a paper-bag type waistline too. Hello Katharine Hepburn! Read More......

Get ready for some spring and summer lust/Over the slump!

Oh man y'all - I SOOOOO got over my It's Going To Be A Thing slump. I did some soul-searching (aka looked at Net-A-Porter all morning), and I've been inspired for what's going to be a thing next.

This is going to be a long post so after the cut get ready for SERIOUSLY wanting it to be warmer weather!


Ok guys, so I'm sticking with my dress theory, so everything I post today will be dresses. I mean seriously though - a dress is an outfit in one piece - it just makes sense. Another reason dresses just make sense is because they're just more feminine and after the masculine inundation we've had in the past few seasons (which I've loved btdubs), it's time for the pendulum to start swinging back the other way. Now I think that vestiges of masculinity will remain in our fashion choices - but now there will be much more play of masculine vs. feminine - think pairing a blazer over a soft, swingy dress, or wearing masculine oxford flats with a figure-flattering floral. I think this will serve to create a VERY interesting time in fashion. Woohoo - so excited!

Another compelling point in the resurgence of femininity - during the great depression, clothing went from the more masculine influenced styles of the 1920's, to softer, more figure flattering silhouettes during the 1930's. It makes sense because how I was saying yesterday - figure flattering pieces, like those of the 1930's, are generally things that you just want to wear over and over again. Also, the softer and prettier clothes call to mind a happier, perhaps more innocent time and provide a good escape from the more stressful times that we are going through. I see us heading in that same direction now. Coincidence or not? Who knows! Drawing parallels through history y'all! History is fun.

Moving on. So what does the resurgence of femininity mean, and how will it affect us? To me, this means we will be seeing a lot more florals, a lot more ice cream colors (part feminine, part happy!), more softer and draped fabrics, and more 1930's style tailoring. This style will present the perfect antidote to our depressing economic climate. Here are some dresses (a la Net-A-Porter) that I think encompass this burgeoning trend PERFECTLY.

3.1 Phillip Lim:




Alice + Olivia:


See by Chloe:


Fendi:


TIBI:


Richard Nicoll:


Zac Posen:

I'm so pumped guys. Honestly if this isn't a wide-spread thing, I don't even care. Because it is SO going to be a thing in my wardrobe this upcoming spring/summer season.

It's Going to Be a Thing: Economic Crisis Edition

It's been a little while since I've made an It's Going to Be a Thing post, but honestly I just haven't been inspired recently (except in menswear type things, which I don't think y'all really care about - but note: a mass popularity of the knitted tie is imminent).

But as for fashion that will affect us... I've been at a bit of a loss. So I decided to make this into a discussion post. Namely, what I'm interested in, is how will our economic crisis affect what we wear?

Here are some things that I'm thinking:

1. Obviously we will spend less and use what we already have more.
2. What we DO choose to spend money on will be good basics - things that can go with what we already have and will be very functional.
3. Quality will become increasingly important. Quality of fabric, Quality of cut, etc.
4. The things we buy will be easy to care for. Nobody needs the extra costs of dry-cleaning now.

Here are some things I'm wondering about. Will neutrals become more popular than color as they can work with more? Will texture take precedence over pattern as that can work with more? Will the prevalence of pattern decrease? Will our clothes become more conservative to reflect the somber feeling our country is experiencing? OR will we go in the opposite direction and opt for happier clothing as a way to combat those hard time blues? So many interesting things to think about!

As for me - I certainly don't plan on buying less color - I want more color if anything! And I never really care for a lot of pattern anyway. But I definitely am more interested in thicker fabrics that last a long time, like wools for winter, and cottons for summer. Also, I feel like I want to buy more dresses (big surprise) - but seriously - it's a total outfit in one piece! MUCH more economical. I also definitely feel that I want things that are more well tailored and figure flattering - these are things that will boost your confidence and make you WANT to wear something over and over and over again so you don't have to go out buying more!

Here is something else to think about. In the past, times of financial depression encouraged more women to sew their own clothing. Do you think this is even possible today?! I feel like people are so out of touch with self-sufficiency that that idea wouldn't even occur to most people. I am totally going to actually make some of the patterns (see below) that I have for some of my new summer clothes instead of just buying all new clothes. But then I've had these patterns and have really wanted to make them anyway. But maybe before they wouldn't have been the bulk of my new clothes for the summer season like they probably will be this year.


So I feel like there is a lot to think about concerning this issue. What do you all think will be the effects of our economic depression on our clothing choices? What are you looking for/are you planning on changing anything in order to suit the times? I'm interested in what you all have to say.

(An aside - in my research for this post, I found a surprisingly interesting article which - though not relating to fashion per se - had some things to say about other style choices. Read if you dare.) Read More......

It's Going to Be a Thing - Lifestyle Edition.

So I don't know if you guys are as annoyed by huge, energy-consumptive houses as I am, but if you are, you will be very interested in what I have to show you all today. So I found this website (again from the blog A Continuous Lean, I swear I won't continue stealing posts from there), and it is just about the coolest thing I've seen in awhile. Now I think I had heard about it before but not really registered it, so maybe this will just be old hat for the rest of you. But if it's not....

Tumbleweed Tiny House Company. It's awesome! I think that someday, most likely a whiles away in the future, the housing pendulum will swing from the wasteful, greed-induced, monstrosities that we see being built today, towards smaller, compartmentalized, environmentally thoughtful houses like those that are featured by this company.

Now maybe the houses of the future won't be AS tiny as some of these, but you get the idea. So now for your viewing pleasure - check out the inside of the tiniest house they have - as shown by the creator of the company (who is honestly kind of cute - not that that has influenced me liking these houses). (B T Dubs, my favorite tiny houses are the Enesti and the Z Glass house. So cute!)

It's Going to Be a Thing

Woohoo y'all - Hold on to your butts! (see motto of the moment). It's time for the October edition of It's Going To Be a Thing!

So this month, I've been inspired by what is supposed to be the burgeoning cold season and all of the pleasures that go along with that. Come on a little mind vacation with me for a moment (just indulge me). So I have this picture in my workspace at the studio, and I like to look at it and just pretend that I'm there. We are walking down a forest path. All of the trees around us are yellow - we are in a veritable golden fantasy land. There is a briskness to the weather, and a clear, clean quality of air that you only experience in the Autumn. You can hear the leaves rustling around you, perhaps some alpine critters in the brush farther away from the trail, some birds singing. There are a few places all around you where the sun penetrates through the thick layer of leaves above. This little vacation of the mind usually continues with me owning a mountain house nearby and walking my dogs around, but I'll leave that out I guess. So what is the only thing that really completes this little fantasy of mine? I'll tell you! ...After the cut :)


So I don't know about you all, but no good daydream is complete for me unless I decide exactly what I'm wearing in it. So in this daydream, I am totally wearing flannel. And you guys - I'm calling it right now. Flannel is going to be big this winter.

I'm going to show you all some images - and Allison - you can bite it!

This first image is from LL Bean (you all can thank Allison for convincing me to spare you all the "It's Going to Be a Thing: LL Bean Edition"). It is inspired from their original 1927 Chamois (aka flannel) button up. So the fact that it's vintage inspired also makes it cool. And I don't care WHAT you say Allison - I am going to get this shirt!



Also from LL Bean - you all can look forward to THESE flannel pieces of goodness gracing my bed this winter. (All I have to do now is decide if I want to go all out and get the comforter too......) AND! Added Bonus! - they're buffalo check! Another one of my all-time favorite things.



Last but not least - here is a really great flannel purse made by Michael Kors. Note - also plaid. The 90's knew what they were doing when they paired flannel and plaid together.



So yeah - join me or not, but I am SO looking forward to making my flannel wearing, mountain tripping daydream a reality this fall. Now if only it would get cool enough for me to wear some.....

It's Going to Be a Thing - Update

So I know that I just did a real It's Going to Be a Thing post, but I wanted to also do an update on one of my previous It's Going to Be a Thing posts. Specifically I am speaking about my June "It's Going to Be a Thing: Japan Edition" post. This was the post where I said that I could see girls wearing men's jeans becoming a thing. I've discussed this with Allison and she is doubtful of my evidence (which probably rightfully so), but I am going to stubbornly stand firm here and say that this could very well be the beginning of the girls wearing mens jeans trend becoming a widespread thing.

Recently around Twinkle Town (or New York City?) we have seen Miss Katie Holmes (of the "Mrs. Kate Cruise" fame) wearing decidedly masculine jeans (Tom's maybe?). - Ok, I would just like to openly state here that I realize I used a lot of paranthetical statements in that last sentence. Sorry about that, I know that can get confusing - I always got marks taken off for not writing clearly in High School (sorry Dr. Tilley!). I just have too many thoughts going on and I apparently can't get them out in a way that's not confusing to other people! But anywho! My questionable writing skills aside -


Pegged or not, these jeans have been a widely debated and oft criticized (even by Tim Gunn!) choice.

I recognize that just because they are being worn by a celebrity means nothing about their actual state of trend-ness. Also, the fact that they are more often than not criticized negatively could just strengthen the "They're not actually a trend" state of thinking. But I don't know - any press is good press maybe? People are being exposed to this idea and I'm thinking that it has a possibility of catching on! Also, I would like to say that in a way my original post on this subject has already been validated, because in looking at what I actually said - my main prediction was that "we would be seeing some for realz mens jeans on some ladies at some point in the near future". And in semantics alone, I have already been proven right - just with only one person who happens to be a celebrity ha ha.

So everyone be on the lookout - I predict that this will be something you will be seeing more and more of in the months to come. Read More......

It's Going to Be a Thing

It's time for the September edition of It's Going to Be A Thing!

So I'm sure you're all waiting with bated breath to see what is the next biggest trend. I'm here to oh-so-humbly tell you. :) ...After the cut.


So I've been throwing this thought around for a few months now. I have full faith in it, but I'm not sure I could tell you how widespread it will get. Well, how about first I tell you what the trend will be, and then I'll explain my reservations.

So - I think that sometime in the future Cat Eye Glasses are going to be a trend!


So, for my reservations. I am not totally sure if this will be a trend that will be basically reserved to, say, the "artsy" crowd, or if this will actually make itself outside of that elitist crowd and trickle down to the general masses. Also - I feel that I must address reading glasses vs. sunglasses. So my feeling here is that this trend will start with the reading glasses and make its way to sunglasses. Also - I will predict that when, or if, this trend makes it to sunglasses is when it will be picked up by the "general populous". Then maybe there will be an interesting trickle up effect where when the general masses start wearing the cat eye sunglasses they will take it back up to reading glasses. I don't know - this seems like a pretty complicated trend to me with a lot of layers. But then, I guess most trends are.

Ooh, wouldn't that be interesting to scientifically study trends? I think I'm onto something here! :)

But yeah - Cat Eye Glasses - it's going to be a thing!

It's Going to Be a Thing : Back to School

Becky and I have been on a school uniform kick recently. Lately we've seen all of the school uniform clothes out and about, and it really got us thinking. Maybe we really missed out by not having to wear a uniform back when we were in middle and high school. Uniforms are just so sharp and well put together. I think it's pretty hard to look bad in a school uniform, although I'm sure it's possible. Maybe even having to wear school uniforms would have lessened the awkwardness of of those embarassing awkward years. We obviously didn't know how to choose flattering clothes, so maybe we would have looked better if we weren't left to our own devices. And if not, then at least we all would have looked like crap on the same level. So I started saying as a joke that I should have just worn a school uniform to school anyway even though we didn't have to. Would that have just made me super weird if I had done that? Probably. But then it stopped being a joke and I started seriously thinking - I could still do it if I really wanted to! So not only is this a "It's Going to Be a Thing" entry, this is a call to arms! Let's bring the school uniform to college! The new Urban Outfitters clothes are really inspiring to me in the "school uniform" respect, so for uniformity's (haha- I'm hilarious) sake, all of my inspirational pictures will be from them. (except for the one of the kids - obviously).




For any school uniform there is a list of basics that are absolutely required to put together any sort of respectable looking outfit. Here's my Top Ten (plus One for good measure) list of what you would need to have the most kick-"a" school uniform in college.

1. Cardigan



2. Blazer



3. Skirt



4. Suspendered Skirt and/or Jumper


5. Button Up Shirt


6. Khaki Shorts


7. Oxfords or Loafers



8. Backpack



9. Glasses for the more Studious Crowd



10. Belts


11. Hat


Looking a little deeper into the look - Steven Alan has designed this really great line called Lark and Wolff that is being sold at Urban Outfitters. I am seriously into his stuff right now and alot of his pieces would work perfectly with this look. Here is a link to a video interview that Urban Outfitters did with him. It's a really interesting video and you should totally go look if you're interested.
http://blog.urbanoutfitters.com/projects/lark_and_wolff/

Now there is so much more that could go on here. I didn't even get into sweaters, vests, ties, tights/socks, or watches. There are so many great pieces that go into a really good uniform. And keep in mind that plaids, knits, twills, navy blue, burgundy, and khaki are the key ingredients to the school uniform look. Really the key here is looking classic and put together. But of course, with any REALLY great school uniform, you have to try and break the rules a little bit and make it your own. So who's going to join me in bringing back the school uniform to the collegiate crowd?

It's Going to Be a Thing : Lawn Sport Olympics

So some exciting things have been announced today via Allison. Lawn Sport Olympics 2008! Is everyone excited? I know I am!!

Allison and I discussed it a little bit, and I think that she and I were in agreement that an event with such a prestigious nature as this deserves - nay - DEMANDS that it's participants pay it its due respect in every fashion. Yes, that is right - in Fashion. No, you are not mistaking my meaning. Allison was so kind as to allow me (or rather I should maybe just hope that I wasn't too annoying in just assigning myself the privilege) to come up with the dress code for this blessed event.

So as we all know - the Lawn Sport Olympics have a proud history. It is said that while Hercules was creating the first olympic games as far back as 776 BCE, his younger brother, the lesser known deity Dante (god of the dandies), was right next door creating his own olympic event - The Lawn Sport olympics. While it may seem unfortunate to some that our chosen event came about from a younger sibling being relegated to the back lawn while his older bro took up the whole damn arena leaving no room for his brother's chosen sports - we know it is not so. Only the true olympians understand that a real sport is one in which you can take the time to enjoy a glass of lemonade while making sure that your patent leather shoes do not get damaged or soiled. How many olympic sports can boast that? Plus, Dante got the last laugh when badminton somehow snuck itself into the "Real" olympics anyway. And by the way - have you seen the way they've bastardized the sport over there - they've made it high-speed and competative! We can take pride knowing that we play badminton in it's pure state.

So anyway - enough with the history lesson. On to the dress code! (And of course - feel free to make your own dress code suggestions!)


No. 1 - The majority of your clothing must be white. You could wear a white shirt, or white shorts or skirt, or even a white and say... yellow allover striped onsie (no no no Allison, I know what you're thinking, but honestly that is just a totally random, hypothetical, example. Not at ALL based on any real articles of clothing which may or may not be worn to the Lawn Sport Olympics. I haven't decided on that anyway - it's just an option). Let's just say that as a rule of thumb, about 50% of you should be covered in white.

No. 2 - Any color worn besides white must be a tasteful neutral or pastel. Dark colors would just be ridiculous - we're playing outside and we don't want to risk attracting the suns rays - then we might end up sweating. Yucky.

No. 3 - NO ATHLETIC SHOES ALLOWED! No sneakers or tennis shoes, or whatever you may call them. We are playing LAWN SPORTS people!! Only sandals, oxfords, or what have you will be permitted. Heck, you could even go barefoot if you really want to I guess.

Finally - take pride in your appearance. We have the honor of upholding a noble tradition, and our appearances should reflect so.

I will leave you with a little inspiration. Here are two pictures from the 1908 Olympic Tennis events (from the website www.olympics.org.uk). 1908 was apparently the year that it was trendy to pretend that you were playing in the Lawn Sport Olympics rather than the "real ones" - but whatever was the reason for these tennis players to wear such glorious clothes, I suppose does not matter, for they are worthy fashion icons and I for one plan to follow their example.





Happy dressing you all! After all, we know that dressing the part is the unofficial sport of the Lawn Sport Olympics.

It's Going to Be a Thing: Japan Edition

So I realize that I've already done my proscribed "It's Going to Be a Thing" post for the month of June, but I feel like I need to do a post in honor of Japan.

So I've seen a lot of crazy clothes in Japan. Like a lot. Some of the clothes are cool - mainly the dude's clothes. And some of the clothes are lame - mainly the women's clothes. I'm not into the wearing high heels with EVERYTHING (especially when it seems like there are only about 10 Japanese women total who actually know how to walk in said heels), or the short shorts and knee-highs - it's just a little too slutty for me. But there IS one trend in Japanese trendy women's wear that I can forsee becoming a thing in America. And here's what it is....

Women wearing men's jeans. Now it's been done before, I know - I lived through the 90's too. But I think it's ready for a come back. We've had the tight jeans. We're having the wide-legged men's-trousers inspired. We may be going into flares right now (which I DO NOT support for the record). We've even seen men in womens jeans. But I think that we're going to be seeing some for realz mens jeans on some ladies at some point in the near future.



Maybe a-something like above par example. Maybe in a darker wash would be nice, but whatev. You get the idea. I swear, it's totally going to be a thing. Read More......

It's Going to Be a Thing

Well it's been a while since I've posted an It's Going to Be a Thing post, but Japan and resort wear 2009 has inspired me!

So here's what I'm thinking. I'm going to tell you all what's been inspiring to me recently and especially in the case of the Resort wear 2009 lines, you all should go check it out at style.com and tell me what you think! On to what I'm feelin at the moment:

So I'm so tired of over-trussed, over-layered, frilly clothes (Erin Fetherston - I am talking to you). I'm feeling a swing towards minimalist clothing (calvin klein and helmut lang hello?) and keeping it simple. For me, cutting an elegant, interesting silhouette is the focus at the moment. At the same time, I am TOTALLY into the colors peach and salmon right now thanks to how much salmon I am eatin in Japan right now lol. Now I can wear neither of these colors because they look like shit on me, but if I could I would. But with this in mind, I just looked at Isaac Mizrahi's collection for Resort 2009 and it seems like he can kind of read my mind. Most of his stuff was a little too mature for me, but there were a few things that I really loved. Look here - two pieces from his latest collection that were really on it for me:





I just like the idea of pairing together sophisticated, simple styles, and making it playful with a fun color. Of course, I really appreciate a good monochrome grey or black or white outfit right now also.

Also, I have to give props to Anne Sui for having a shibori dress in her Resort 2009 line.

This is totally my favorite shibori effect - simple pleating. I would like to say that I think shibori, particularly indigo dyed shibori, will be making a huge comback too. It's a really beautiful Japanese art which I feel very lucky to have learned it from a master during my stay here in Japan. It's going to be a thing!

So what are y'alls favorite Resort 2009 lines? Read More......
