Gary Oldman as Dracula

Makes Twilight look like a kids movie. Oh wait…

Makes Twilight look like a kids movie. Oh wait…
At least you know it will look good.
Totally applaud this effort. Anyone making good content on the cheap and creative deserves some praise and some sharing. Although I don’t agree with the washing part, I thought this was excellent. Have a look.
Also see my previous post on the subject.

Once again, some influencer, perhaps Dallas’ famed Sam Moon, has delivered a trend so un-hot, it is the perfect complement to gladiator sandals – the Maxi Dress. When will women stop taking seeking fashion inspiration from the movie 300? What’s next? Gold leaf tiara-things? Homes with huge roman columns? Segways scooters decorated to look like chariots? Tom Ford… The men of the world are begging you. Please design for women again. Sunglasses and fragrances are not enough.
Johnny Depp as John Dillinger.
Has anyone noticed how cool Johnny Depp looks as John Dillinger? Not that it is all that hard for him to look cool. Clothing from this era actually reminds me a lot of what you see from the brands I am feeling most these days. And I have noticed he wears some amazing vintage sunglasses throughout the film – and I have only seen the trailer! In the trailer, you see him wearing 3-piece suits as he robs banks, and you see a few shots of him more casual. The casual look is total perfection. So I am on a mission… aspiring to achieve a new look I am calling “John Dillinger on Weekends”.
First it was people like Ricky Henderson, Dwight Gooden and Ozzie Smith. Then the likes of Johnny Depp and Michael Hutchence, followed later by Mike Carroll and Rick Howard. All were my idols of my younger years. Hiroki Nakamura has been assigned that role for a while.

Comments on the video:
These were the perfect addition to my deep collection of 19th century clothing I have been collecting for a while. Aren’t you collecting it too? I don’t mess with the 80s and 90s influence. I take it back to the Davy Crockett, Remember-the-Alamo days (shout out to Texas history). 1880’s maybe. They don’t carry this shit at Fruition. Here, maybe, but not Fruition. My coonskin cap, all chamois leather pants and jackets are the flyest on the Q train.
I have put 1,000 miles on these shoes, and I am almost embarrassed at how much I wear them. They are like those Nike Free shoes that are supposed to feel like you are running barefoot. Except I don’t run in these. If you are considering Visvim, I promise you will fall in love with these. Good luck finding a pair over size 10. It took me almost a year to find these in 11.
I agree with you on finding a pair that is over size 11. I want a pair of the Visvim Lattice and I having no luck with it. Ill just keep waiting to see what comes about.
I meant “Logan Lattice”!!
didn’t i give you that chair when i moved from dallas? i hope so because it makes me feel less bad about the way i f’ed up our move.

I have wanted these things forever, and finally I found a pair. This pair now represents one of three reasons I love this brand. And why I love Hiroki Nakamura. Like all brilliant guys, he was an ex-skater who now makes the perfect shoe for aging guys that still care about them. Not to mention, one of the few brands that I will even let adorn the pages of my carefully curated blog
. I have a similar pair in suede which were my first pair of Visvim, but these are waaay nicer. Like all Visvim, the leather is super smooth, and I cannot find one place where quality was compromised. Despite the heavy volume of media coverage they get in certain circles, you will almost never see anyone with a pair. I guess most youngster would rather get a couple of pair of Yeezy’s instead.
hey, i just bought the same pair. theyre very nice and the leather is really soft. the only thing im suspicious about is that the insole in my pair says “free international labolatory” instead of laboratory. and i was wondering if yours has the same problem aswell.
i have the same pair bought from ACU shanghai (a great store) i looked at my pair they also say labolatory so dont worry i guess its just a screw up

As seen on…

I think they are so cute, romantic, and girly. Why do men hate them so much? My husband hates when I wear mine too! I love it though! and I also love my gladiators, though I know those aren’t always to flattering
