response to "guest": clearly you've never had complete strangers stare at you. its unnerving... and rude.

"torn 'n tattered" is one of my all-time fave looks. just ask anyone that knows me. the jeans i've designed for my 808 reprazent brand (see my profile avatar) aren't pre-stressed or distressed because i've always felt that the manufactured pre-stressed/distressed apparel trend was just sooo F-A-K-E. i've got several pair of torn 'n tattered jeans and fatigue green cargo's (and some tees too) in my wardrobe with every bit of their wear and tear honestly earned. i think that anything less is just disingenuous, pretentious and down right lazy.

when i was going to school in l.a. i used to run into celebs everywhere. restaurants, bars, clubs, shopping on rodeo, driving around town, walking their dogs, shopping at ralph's, peeing in the urinal next to me (true story, lol). i even got to hang with and befriend a few celebs.
i always just treated them like regular people because, and this may come as a shocker to some, celebs are people just like everyone else. granted they have lots of fame and money but they're basically just regular people and all they want is to be left alone so that they can live their lives. so let them be. don't gawk and don't stalk. how would you feel if people did that to you? its just rude so stop it!
