my fantastic TIME FOR SCARVES.

(various websites)

oh yes

its finally that time of the year

where we wear chunks of fabric on our necks

and call it scarves lol

i think scarves are very crucial not only for its purpose

but its like a bold-ass-statement

i think scarves are hard to pull off tho

because its not like a shirt that you can just put it on and you're good

but you need to wear it in a certain way to look gooooooood haha

ok enough talking.

lets go pull out those winter garments

oh wait, never mind

its like 70degrees in LA -_-

my fantastic POST-THANKSGIVING THANKSGIVING.

(i am thankful for my love for elephants)

yes, this is my first big holiday

since i turned 21

(YES THATS RIGHT I AM FINALLY LEGAL ENOUGH TO DRINK ALCOHOLLLL)

so i felt the need to be in the holiday spirit and give thanks

---

for those who don't know

this fantastic country via USA has a weird law that

you can smoke/drive/vote/marry without parents/watch porn (even make one lol) when you are 18 but you cant drink til youre 21

yea at times like this.. it sucks to be an american -_- haha

(cuz in my mother's land via Korea i could of started drinking like 3 fucking years ago >:[)

---

so this thanksgiving was just like any other (plus drinking wine legally haha)

first off, my awesome Korean parents do not feed me turkey on thanksgiving

YES, you read that correctly, no turkey on my thanksgiving!

ok before you start leaving ferocious comments about not doing the right thing on thanksgiving or that i am too asian and blahblahblah

my mom justifies this action by saying

"turkeys are too dry, whats the point of eating dried chicken" haha shes awesome like that

(no in reality im sure she just doesnt know how to cook that damn thing

and our oven is used as a storage device)

so yea we ate chicken and mashed potatoes (at least this was legit) and watched tv

I KNOW.. we are so damn holiday spirited woohoo

its unbelievable (that was sarcasm if you didnt catch it)

anyway i am very thankful for..

GOD (yes i am a faithful Christian, deal with it :D)

my FAMBAM & FRIENDS

all the electronic devices that controls me (via blackberry/laptop/ipodetc)

CAR (this is very necessary in the world of Los Angeles)

McDonald's Iced Coffee Hazelnut (yea their food is disgusting but the coffee is some legit shit!)

all my plaid shirts/flannels (ive been getting a lil too much of these to the point where im 'collecting' now.. not 'shopping' lol)

NEW ERA caps (yes ladies, we just wear New Eras for bad hair days or when we are just too fucking lazy to do our hair & not go to salons)

DRIED MANGOES (okay seriously if you havnt eaten these before youre like missing out in life. no lie)

UrbanOutfitters/H&M/Heritage1981/Kitson/AmericanApparel/ZARA (i would be walking around NAKED without these guys)

Chipotle/Baja Fresh (okay i cant help it, theyre just fucking amazing i can eat it everyday)

patron & greygoose (im just kidding. no seriously i am haha i hate vodka or not :p)

my SANITY (yes, im still sane despite all the crazyshizzmuthaeffinballer stuff happening lately)

and lastly

the few readers of this blog :) lol

happy holidays

hopefully i'll be back before Christmas!

my fantastic 1950's.

i really really really love the 50's

the art and design from this period is sooooooo damnnnnn awesome

it's so significant to me cause everything seems so perfect from this time
the colors are so vivid and perfect
the fashion is so perfect, perfectly shaped and fitted
they are flawlessly groomed
they talk in a perfect tone

they use perfect words

everything is so damn perfect

at times it feels like folks from the 50's lived a life that was filled with sarcasm..

even to the point where it freaks me out cause they are so robotic
it's so perfect, it's so weird, yet it's so fantastic

i think 50's represent the perfect idealized human living..
humans that are so perfect that they are almost like robots
which leads to how futurism was so significant in this period

esp since it was a decade right before men were sent to the moon
what's crazy is that despite the fact its been 60 years since then
the futuristic living they imagined is still not available...
such a shame :/

but yea, i want that kind of perfect living..
living in my perfect little kitchen that bakes a cake in a heart beat
driving around the perfect car that talks to me
carrying a perfect lady on my shoulder singing tunes hopping around like a mad person
yea, that's what i call a perfect life. lol

my fantastic HUH? WHAT? IS THIS HEAVEN?

mfR.

my fantastic HUH? WHAT? DOES IT LOOK IT LOOK LIKE I GIVE A SH*T?

(hiphoper.com)

a lot of people tend to dress normal

don't get me wrong, normal is cool, normal is fantastic

but at times there's that craving for something different,

something EXTRAordinary

so i picked these guys out and i give them a standing ovation

serious props to these ppl and their brave hearts

bravo, you win.

my fantastic DANDY SCHMANDY.

(thecobrasnake.com / google.com)

dandy suits are just damn sexy.

mfR.

my fantastic BALLS.

(universiteittwente.nl)

feels like floating in space

amazing graphics

my fantastic TRIANGULAR SHAPES.

(nacho-gil.com)

THE ANIMALS

by Nacho Gil

amazingly detailed illustration of animals by Argentina based artist Nacho Gil

despite the fact that the artist only used triangular shapes

the outcome is just so amazing

who needs curves or circles to draw

just gimme the triangles!

mfR.

my fantastic SOLUTION TO HOT WEATHER.

(men.style.com)

so up until about two weeks ago i was like

"wow it's a pretty cool(weather wise) summer"

the weather was very not-LA-summer-y

it was cool in the afternoon and it even got pretty chill at night

and then BAM

about two weeks ago mother nature slapped me right across the face

it got so amazingly HOTTTTTTTTTT

its dry and humid (yea they're not suppose to be together so you get how abnormal the weather is lol)

its so hot that im like coughing up sweat

i would be sitting in my room with the AC on and i would still be sweating like a monkey haha

so i was checking out the solutions to what i can wear in this scorching hot weather

despite the fact that i want to literally walk out with just my undies

i don't wana get arrested

so i think i found my solution in GIVENCHY SS'09

despite the fact that these guys are pretty much half naked

they look damn well dressed

bravo givenchy bravo lol

mfR.

my fantastic WHOA!

(U.O. WHOA! shirt)

oh yes

gota love targét

no its not target, it's targét

i always walk into targét determined that i would buy a single bottle of shampoo

and i would walk out with a pack of hangers, box of tissues, 3 boxes of cereal,

39 others things with a receipt marked $127.78

-_-

everything just looks so damn good under the red roof

i really think targét releases special chemical right when you walk in there that makes you wana buy 30 more things than youre suppose to lol

my fantastic TYPE.

(allovertheuniverse)

a white background and black type

it could of been such a boring cliche but

i dont think design always have to be something abstract

just the right choice of type and the right placement of them

makes everything perfect

-mfr

my fantastic VMAN COVER.

(google.com)

when great fashion meets great graphic designer

the result you get is phenomenal

just look at these fantastic magazine covers from VMAN

the simplicity behind the color, the usage of negative space, the simple type

just explains how upscale this magazine is

and that they hired an amazing cover designer

-mfR :)

my fantastic SIMPLICITY IS THE KEY TO SAVE THE WORLD.

(hiphoper.com)

yes the title of this post explains everything

SIMPLICITY IS THE KEY TO SAVE THE WORLD.

no its not madonna with her 4 minutes

but its the simple styles that will cure the world from hunger(?) lol

yea you get the point,

the four dudes above are so simply dressed yet they are so fantastic!!

just a shirt(or jacket) + jeans + shoes

thats it!

but the color matching.. the fit.. the flow..

just makes it so damn amusing

i truly think so many people overdress

who cares if you have the '09 f/w's coolest leather jacket?

if you over do it

it just looks crappy as any vinyl jacket out there lol

-mfR

my fantastic SEPTEMBER ISSUE.

wow

to my amazement, i still get visitors despite the fact that i haven't updated in a month

the visitors did go down by 60% but im so surprised that there are still the 40%

i'll admit,

i have been very lazy with updating this blog

at first i wanted this blog to be like one of those crazy blogs

with 100 comments and thousands of viewers

but it was hard to even get tens and hundreds viewers

and it was so hard to post something new and fantastic everyday

so at one point i just kind of gave up

but

just like how they say september issue of a magazine is like the month of january

when all things start off new and fresh

hopefully this entry will be like the september issue

the biggest fattest freshest newest post of the year :)

my fantastic SHOCKING AD.

wow

shocking much?

a perfect combination of

public safety + art

amazing.

my fantastic NEW SHOES.

(BED STU casual dress shoes)

I LOVE BED STU!

my fantastic BURBERRY PRORSUM PRE FW'09.

(selectism.com)

these coats are just

WOW...

WOW?

WOW!

yess

(from the fact that california winter is like.. 70 degrees LOL)
