Helloooooo Ladies: The Limited Edition DKNY For Veuve Clicquot Rubber Rain Boots = The Champagne Of Galoshes!



"Winter is just four days away and I’m not quite sure that there is anything better to keep you warm than a great glass of champagne. Veuve Clicquot always hits the spot and now they are also giving you a dose of style with DKNY.

The two megabrands have collaborated on a pair of super chic limited-edition rubber boots in Veuve Clicquot yellow that will keep you dry all winter long. They are knee-high and will work on the slopes or on the street so they really are a fantastic buy.


“The DKNY for Veuve Clicquot limited-edition boot brings Clicquot in the Snow to life. Our brands both emulate a fun and active lifestyle; I look forward to seeing women show off their boots during après ski as well as in the city this winter.” – Vanessa Katy, Vice President of Veuve Clicquot USA

Clicquot in the Snow is Veuve Clicquot’s annual celebration of winter in which a day on the slopes is followed by champagne during après ski. This marks the fourth year of the celebration and this year the fête will bring champagne and wine tastings nationwide as well as special parties and charity events such as the Veuve Clicquot Tube-a-thon in Vail which will take place in February 2011.

The DKNY for Veuve Clicquot Rubber Boots retail for $98. Visit www.dkny.com to purchase and www.veuve-clicquot.com for more information. They will also be available in DKNY stores in New York City, as well as the DKNY Old Bond Street store in London."

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: First and foremost, NO, I do NOT have a major endorsement deal with Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin nor do I have any outstanding agreement with their majority holding company, the French luxury goods conglomerate L.ouis V.uitton M.oët H.ennessy. So what if this my 2nd time in 2 days mentioning the brand? Sheeesh! However, in the interest of full disclosure, I must admit my affinity for this particular brand of bubbly.

Let us rewind to a time called the early aughts, when Cristal was still the reigning champ of overpriced bottle service champagnes to be seen with. At roughly $400 per bottle though, such a giddily nouveau riche purchase was largely cost prohibitive to mere mortals, so, by default, the less expensive yet still status symbol worthy Moët became the next logical alternative.

And there sat a lonely Veuve Clicquot - an undervalued elixir wasting away on bar menus across America. Nobody rapped about it, so nobody wanted it. Thankfully, their collective ignorance enabled loss was me and my counter parts gain. Not only was I unable to afford even 2 bottles of Cristal @ each outing, I'd had it before and believe me that shit was nasty my nigga. It was all hype. Dom Perignon was good, but @ nearly the same price point as Cristal, that was a no-go for me as well.

So what about Moët? The legendary champagne had christened many a ship before setting sail and has remained the toast of the town for centuries, however, thanks to rap music (NOTE: Shaking my fist in old crotchety man disdain!) it had become entirely too pedestrian for me and my team. We needed a new air of elegance - without the staggering tab @ the end of the night - that would send a waitress blazing a trail from our V.I.P. table to the bar. We chose the brilliant yellowish-orange label of Veuve Clicquot and the "Veuve Crew" was formed. Corks exploded and fell to the floor and champagne glasses overflowed. And the rest was history.

Today, Veuve Clicquot is almost a household name in the "look @ me" world of Hip Hop clubbing. Alas, I fear that the full flavored complexity of this sparkling wine escapes most young people, but, hey, poppin' a few of these bottles will get Y.O.U. some style points ... lol. Anyway, that whole preamble ramble leads us to the star of this entry: The Limited Edition DKNY for Veuve Clicquot Rubber Rain Boots.

There's not much to say about these gully Veuve Clicquot signature yellow galoshes other than that @ $98 there is NO earthly reason why Y.O.U. shouldn't cop yourself a pair TODAY! How many other chicks are Y.O.U. gonna see sporting these bad boys? My estimate is 0! And that's just how we like it around here. Y.O.U. stay classy Livestyle Ladies! Holla @ ya boy in BK!

The "Lo-End Theory" Ralph Lauren Polo Convention In NYC = Lo Lovers Rock.


Information Courtesy Of: Theshillzdarealzshow.Blogspot.Com


CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Celebrated by corner store couture connoisseurs the world over, the Lo-Life name and, more importantly their influence, has gone global and we ALL owe them an immeasurable debt of gratitude.

This Brooklyn born collective played an integral role in refining our urban fashion vocabulary and I believe there to be a special V.I.P. gasoline bottle service section in H-E-Double-Hockey-Sticks reserved for the unscrupulous imposters whom make every flimsy attempt to appropriate their reputation and spirit.. See, in spite of being raised and trained on the rugged terrain of Franklin Avenue to be an orange boxcutter wielding Decepticon - the official arch nemeses of this Polo brigade - I have always loved to get fly and, as such, very much respect the Lo-Life cause.

Furthermore, no matter what amount of Georges Marciano Guess®, Fila, Tommy Hilfiger, DKNY or Nautica that I wore, Ralph Lauren has ALWAYS been my designer of choice. In the interest of full disclosure though, I must admit that I had little say in the matter as my super cool Godfather had the prescience to nurture my sense of style by keeping me dipped in Lo from head-to-toe long before I even knew what a "Horsey" logo was and I am oh sooooooooooooooo thankful ... lol. #Truestory.

Anyway, while this "Lo-End Theory" Convention will surely be a magnet for pretentious pretenders who think that dropping $1,000 on an O.G. I.T. on eBay qualifies them to be a card carrying "Lo-Life", I also have every confidence that many genuine ladies and gentlemen of Lo leisure will be in attendance.

As this entry goes to press I am assembling a powerful team of elite Polo experts to join me @ New York City's Highline Ballroom on Sunday April 12, 2010. (DISCLAIMER: Seating is limited. If Y.O.U. are more square than a pool table and twice as green, waste neither your time nor mine. Suckers need not apply.) Oh yeah, shout out to the Lo-Life pioneer Shillz for posting this flyer 1st! Good shit!

Respect The Architects: DJ Premier Talks The Making Of Biggie's "Kick In The Door" With Sean C x LV @ Bestofbothoffices.Com.


CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Yes, it was the mid-1990's and dissing B.I.G. was more en vogue than DKNY (NOTE: Pronounced "DINKY" by "Lizzy" lifting boosters and chic Brooklynites alike) reflector vests and "beef and broccoli" Timberland field boots. It was all fun and games until somebody got hurt.

In Related News: For some odd reason, a fact that almost always escapes meaningful discussion, is that Biggie's "Ten Crack Commandments" (Also produced by the expert ear of DJ Premier) was originally a beat that Jeru Da Damaja had laced for a HOT 97 promo that was later rightfully appropriated by the "Livest one from Bedford-Stuyvesant" ... and an indisputable classic record was born. Good shit!
