…one reason I Love L.A…

We have the hearts of guys with platinum & pink hair, stacks of bangles and Hello Kitty, sheer cardigans, and an appreciation for people who haven’t become the lemmings and lambs of corporate-run glossies.  Sammy K., welcome to MY ARMY.

“I think that generally passionate people are more expressive and have more to say about life, not just fashion.”

Damn right, yo.

Oh, you thought my little vacay was going to keep me from posting?  NATCH!  I’ve got posts scheduled through Christmas Eve/Day.   =D

…hey Alex…

Alex Chapman from Stylelikeu.com

Cut out loafers + DIY Margiela hair jacket + plastic orange clutch = newest draftee to the DANDYMAN ARMY.

How adorable is he?  You know he and Hunter are buds, right? 

You can totally tell now that I’ve told you that, huh?

UPDATE:  I just revieved the kiss of life from this video…and Alex looks like he would fit.right.in.

 

Quote me on this:  If I ever make it out to New York, I will make it a point to track down and subsequently photograph all of these men in the Dandy Files.  ALL OF THEM.

Ladies and Gents, meet John Wellington:

I mean, Hunter was great and all, but any man who has to caucus with himself for two weeks on what to wear with untailored off-white pants covered in red feathers is more than qualified for best-friendship. 

Did you see the flowered corduroy brogues?  Covering the powder blue argyle socks?  DID YOU?!?!

We’re probably cousins or something.  Both of our mothers are Jamaican immigrants and both of our grandmothers made clothes.  BOO-YAH!

I love this imaginary army of dandy-men that I’m amassing.  Get into it.

…Oh, Hunter…

Hunter Thompson from Stylelikeu.com

Yohji Yamamoto, in my opinion, understands how to make something so oversized have beautiful structure. I am also incredibly fond of Comme des GarconsDamir Doma, and Ann DemeulemeesterI, however, cannot afford such luxury, so I have to be creative.”

So ummm…Hunter…let’s be best friends and raid each other’s closets for cool and quirky thrifted shit, eh?
