Rogue Status Spring ‘09 Women’s Collection

I got my girl "M" a Rogue Status shirt for X-mas, so I thought some of you other ladies on earth might like to see what's to come for Spring. Rogue Status pretty much takes dope mens shirts and re-creates them in wmns sizes. There's a extra long tank-top that can be worn as a dress that would be good money on some takedownables. check your local retailer to cop...teleport for more of the collection



The Hundreds Knock Off Boxers Recalled

The American Eagle boxers we showed you a while ago have been recalled. American Eagle has pulled the boxers from all of their stores and from their website. I guess the guys over at TH headquarters caught wind of the rip-off and took action. I applaud the hundreds crew for taking such action to protect the integrity of their brand.

New NeckFace Mural in LA


Barracuda recently commissioned graffiti Artist Neckface to create a mural on one of the shops walls. The best part of this is that Neckface only charged the 148 dollars the paint cost, Neckface could have easily demanded a large commission. The resulting mural is pretty cool. I especially like the "I'm creeping while your sleeping" title. The Mural is located at 7769 Melrose Ave in L.A. Its across the street from Brooklyn Projects and Fairfax Highschool. Check it out if your in the area. Teleport for pictures of the artist at work.

Kiks Tyo x Marvel Comics Collaboration

Some people expected this collaboration to happen last year, but these Kiks Tyo joints are just releasing and already selling out! Marvel Comics lent the brand some of their signature super-heroes for the collabo. The shirts are very creative, the Marvel heroes have been transformed into the fresh kicks they would wear or represent. Overall a really dope concept.

Barack Obama Wins Crackberry Battle

Those of us who can't afford takion beam inertial dampeners use Crackberrys. You know, business people like Hov, Skateboard P, and Obama. Well, according to White House security protocol all cellular devices and external email systems must be discontinued in order to prevent a White House security compromise. In other words, they tried to snatch Obama's crackberry upon his arrival. Well, Obama told them it's a wrap for those rules, he's keeping his crackberry. RIM better toss some bread his way, that's like the biggest marketing plugg you could ever ask for! "Blackberry, the phone of our President"

full story after the teleport


He won the fight to keep it. Now, Barack Obama is putting his beloved BlackBerry to work. Upon returning to the White House on Thursday morning after a trip to his younger daughter’s school for a class presentation, the president walked along the West Wing Colonnade toward the Oval Office while looking down at the electronic communicating device he held in both hands.

White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said last week that a compromise had been reached to allow the president to use the BlackBerry to keep in touch with senior staff and some personal friends. He did not say with whom the compromise had been struck.

Gibbs said Obama will limit its use, and that security has been enhanced to protect his communications.

Previous presidents chose not to use e-mail because it can be subpoenaed by Congress and the courts, and may be subject to public records

laws.

Gibbs said the presumption from the White House counsel’s office is that the e-mails will be subject to the Presidential Records Act, which requires the National Archives to preserve presidential records. But he also said some exemptions in the law allow for “strictly personal communications.” He did not say how that classification would be determined, but made clear that the device could be used for both business and personal exchanges.

Obama’s BlackBerry has been a constant companion, and he had noted publicly that he was negotiating to find a way to keep it despite security concerns and records-keeping issues.

Gibbs said that Obama believes using the device will help him escape the “bubble” that surrounds the president.

Facebook Plans To Grind In 09'

As surprise speaker at DLD09, Facebook Founder Mark Zuckerberg was interviewed by Fortune's David Kirkpatrick who is currently writing a book about "The Facebook Effect". You know he's going to make bread off that. According to Zuckerberg, the number of German users is growing fast. Right now, Facebook has 2 million Users in Germany - last October, the social network had 1.2 million users (meaning a plus of 60% in 3 months). "It is crazy that it took us the first 10 months to have the first million of users but now we add that in one week", Zuckerberg said. Facebook Connect will be a big focus for FB in 2009. I remember when this Facebook craze first started my Freshman year at college. I though the whole idea was huff back then, my eyes weren't open to it's many marketing uses. Full story here
