CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: This Christmas, online luxury shoe emporium Net-A-Porter has taken subscription based hustling to new, dizzyingly dominatrix-heeled heights! That's right, for the kingly sum of $10,000 a man of means can make his woman truly feel like the luckiest of queens as a member of the "Ultimate Shoe Subscription" club. So, who's been a good girl?
The sky high cost of admission allows girls in the know with pedicured toes (NOTE: No, I do NOT care that it's Winter! Be advised that I expect shaved drumsticks and fully moisturized frames as well. What Y.O.U. think this is? LOL) to slip on 1 choice pair of pricey pumps per month for an entire calendar year with sneak preview privileges, heavy pre-order reserve clout on even the most coveted models as well as direct 1-on-1 contact with the Net-A-Porter resident experts. Not too shabby!
Now, admittedly, 10 racks for a glorified wine club look and your kinda, sorta of very own personal fancy footwear concierge is a bit *Cue Swizz Beatz "So Appalled" Voice* "re-dic-aless", but, sometimes shit just be like that ... lol. My Livestyle ladies can dream, can't they? That was a rhetorical question of course. This is Livestyle.

Age is relative. Style is enduring. And, for both surfwear/streetwear pioneers Stussy and myself, our respectively shared 30th season of incorrigible freshness has been met with flowing rose' bubbles and dancing rose petals ... well, sometimes ... lol. Alas, while I too have many an adoring fan (NOTE: For which I am truly blessed), Livestyle is certainly no Stussy and, as such, no, Nike has NOT created a special capsule collection in my honor. I am working on it though. Maybe next year ... lol..
However, if your name happens to be Shawn Stussy, since March 2010, Y.O.U. have spent the better part of this year accepting gifts from a who's who of corner store coutouriers - including, but not limited to such global Downtown designer demigods as NEIGHBORHOOD, Bounty Hunter, Leilow, The Hideout, Slam Jam, Claw and HELLZ - whom each owe the Stussy brand some major back rent for living large on the land AND in the house that Stussy founded some 3 decades ago. Now, it's Nike's turn to pay tribute. That thee international sportswear company would genuflect before the altar of dope that is Stussy on their 30th birthday only further evinces the continuing importance of this groundbreaking label.
Sure, Nike's got the superstar athlete sponsorship game on lock, but, they know that gym rats aint the ones mortgaging their futures on overpriced dunks! Nope. So, when it's time to play ball with the cash register ruling "Hipster Class" (NOTE: My apologies to those of Y.O.U. that actually DO engage in reasonable clothing sizing and color coordination. My tastes often bring me within mere miles of planet Trendoid as well. Keep your guns up! I share your pain), Nike knows better than most just how to pander to everybody on que. Once again, them old Blue Ribbon Sports boys have put all of their Oregon Ducks (NOTE: GO DUCKS!) in a row and are set to release the uber limited edition Nike Sportswear for Stussy 30th Anniversary Collection this Friday, December 1, 2010.
Street culture dorks prepare to rejoice as this Courtney Love drug test (READ: DOPE!) collabo features an awesome NSW Destroyer varsity jacket, 2 "All Court-Mid" models available in either black or white with a snake print "Swoosh" and 3 tees celebrating not only Stussy's 30 years in business, but, also, 10 years of both brands working together. Hey, for being "Dirty 30", Stussy sure cleans up NICE! LOL. Holla @ ya boy in BK!

Happy Thanksgiving 2010 AKA Some Real Live Turkey Talk Fo' That Ass!
CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Tis the season to be jolly ... and full bellied with a deliciously wet whistle to match! LOL.
Each Thanksgiving I am faced with the decision to A) kick ass and continue to debunk the sick fallacy that Pilgrims and "Indians" yucked it up smoking the peace pipe after a hearty meal that celebrated their new found friendship or B) help Mom crack open the Ocean Spray® cranberry sauce (NOTE: The jelly kind is the best! Real niggas don't do that option with the funny berries in it ... lol). I almost always choose the latter. Yup, rather than constantly revisit the veritable cornucopia of bloody crimes against humanity levied against our Native brothers and sisters year in and year out every Turkey Day, I choose to focus my blog entry energy on family, food and fun! Come on! Give a guy a break.
Now, although this holiday (NOTE: Much like 95% of U.S. national holidays) is steeped in a mythology that glorifies colonialism and minimizes the pain of the victims all in the name of promoting the false and terribly misguided cult of "American Exceptionalism", I seek to circumvent such horrors through good ole fashioned L.O.V.E. Cheesy? Perhaps. However, I much prefer arroz y gandules, baked turkey, sweet potatoes and browned marshmallows, pasteles and whatever other gastronomically terrific treats await me @ my family's banquet than talk of our shared torturous past.
To the more politically inclined members of the Livestyle cognoscenti, be not dismayed, this is most assuredly NOT an attempt to discard 1 of history's many inconvenient truths. No. On the contrary, this is simply my humble way of urging us ALL to recognize and preserve our blessings in the distinct hopes of affecting a better and brighter tomorrow. World peace would be nice, but, for now, this'll do. LOL. This is Livestyle.

Ryan Leslie Brings Out Lloyd Banks x Fabolous To Perform "Start It Up" Last Night Live @ S.O.B.'s In NYC @ ThisIsRnB.Com.
Ryan Leslie Brings Out Fabolous & Lloyd Banks from ThisIsRnB on Vimeo.
CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Yes, believe it or not, when NOT being New York City's most recognized hub for lackluster Hip Hop showcases that serve as little more than public viewings for the dead careers of so many mixtape artists, the legendary S.ounds O.f B.razil (NOTE: Yup! That's what S.O.B.'s stands for Y.O.U. son's of bitches! LOL) actually throws a good show or 2.
Last night, Ryan Leslie - the Black Doogie Howser-like genius who left Harvard to become 1 of the 1st people to understand and subsequently manipulate Myspace Music's "plays per day" numbers to his and Cassie's benefit - brought out Lloyd Banks and Fabolous to "Start It Up" for the crowd 1 time! We like surprises! Good shit!

The Lacoste™ x Moët & Chandon "Champagne Series" For Christmas 2010 = Now Y.O.U. Can Pop Tags Like Y.O.U. Pop Corks!
"In a Japanese market exclusive, Lacoste unveiled its Champagne Series, a collaboration with iconic Moet & Chandon. In time for Christmas, Lacoste will release a polo shirt, a matching hoodie and a Lacoste packaged Moet & Chandon champagne bottle in black/gold colors."
Information Courtesy Of: Highsnobiety.Com
CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Years ago, while strolling down New York City's notoriously bootleg-a-rific Canal Street with my cousin and manager to the stars, Rob Young, and my then girlfriend, a weird argument took place between the 2 of them. The issue? Whether or not champagne magnates Moët & Chandon had indeed branded and merchandised a line of über limited edition denim jeans. Smh.
My position was a tricky 1 - my cousin disagreed with my then shorty and, in turn, my then shorty vehemently disagreed with my cousin. Both were astute young fashionistas replete with formidable amounts of fly knowledge. However, both were/are also famously known to play "fast and loose" with the truth. What was a brother to do? LOL.
Anyway, nearly a decade later and, although absolutely nothing in my Google backed research dossier supports the dreamy claims of my ex, apparently, her pathological prayers have somehow been answered! For Christmas 2010 the titans of top tier tennis sportswear have teamed up with the barons of bubbly for the Lacoste™ and Moët & Chandon "Champagne Series". And, as usual, Japan gets ALL the cool exclusive stuff!
Consisting of a mere 2 garments - a polo shirt and a hoody - this collaborative effort is small on selection, but big on style. Oh yeah, each black and gold flecked piece comes packaged in a matching black and gold ribbon tied sleeper with accompanying black and gold wine shop bag. Très chic! I would most definitely spend a couple Yen on this! Good shit!
