Here's a chance to see what a, supposedly, mere two months of abuse can do to a nice pair of Indy's.

These are on e-prey right now: http://cgi.ebay.com/Alden-405-Boots-just-like-Indiana-Jones_W0QQitemZ130040274750QQihZ003QQcategoryZ63850QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

i guess this is an old post, but these boots are simply beautiful!!

Digital, it actually looks like regular cap toes if your jeans are long enough. But you can also rock em hiked up like the last pic, if you really want to show them off. Please excuse the baggy jeans.

clean, but not boring. those jeans are baggy?! i don't think so. but skinny jeans make your feet look bigger, if you know what i mean.

This fit comes in a washed out grey with grey stitching, overdyed black with black stitching, and raw indigo with gold stitching.

I'd like to see these in raw indigo with gold stitching. Is that one selvedge? Maybe it's the wash or this picture, but like this, I'm not feeling it. On second thought, it's kinda ugly. That pocket treatment looks like an accident.

Is it wrong to covet these? They're not for purists? Know where the big sizes are (38)(raw/one-wash)? I'm searching for a friend. Still empty handed.

That would make my fine ass stand out.

ass is always "in":D

clean is sexy.

spill linen water.

drink naked.

I think he was referencing how obnoxious the commodification of Che Guevara as a political icon is, or at least how obnoxious it is that Che Guevara is the poster-child for revolutionary thought and action.

thank you Icarus.

maybe some good could come out of the whole che poster-child debacle. what if there was a whole line of t-shirts of heads: dictators, significant dead royalty, grassroots politicians. maybe we could teach the children through graphic tee design. has this been done? (i'm probably showing my age and the fact that i don't watch tv.)

what about expanding on the che fever? maybe today's youth would gulp down some che cola? would the denim heads wear some che jeans? you know what the orange label would look like. but did you know it was che selvedge with the che dying process and genuine che rivets? ok...this post is getting boring.

pardon my newbie nature, but where's the rest of this thread?

i love angie stone's style. is she really retired from recording now?

wish there were more hits here. i love older hard to categorize music that preceded John Legend, D'Angelo, Maxwell, Floetry, Angie Stone, etc. it'd be great to know who else is mixin it up nice and spicy.

"Vers le sud" (Heading South)

"The Illusionist"

"Keeping Up with the Steins"

those are the most recent films i saw in the theatres. all quite good for their genres, although Vers le Sud was best. charlotte rampling is the most beautiful and accomplished actor of anyone in those three films.

early in this thread "Cache" was mentioned. i just picked that up and it was powerful.

probably gonna watch "Yesterday Once More" again soon. anything with andy lau and sammi cheng is just a guilty pleasure. this one is very stylized. a fun hk film. although lau's performance is stronger in Infernal Affairs I and III.

ate homemade marinated pig ears thai style every christmas and thanksgiving. never knew what it was. it just tasted soooo good. now i know. i still love it.

never thought i'd like homemade frog leg fried rice. i still miss it.

tried natto. not my thing. stickier than melted cheese. but i'd eat it again on a dare or a small wager.

uni is alright depending on the combination of other small dishes. never thought i could stomach it.

blood sausage is number one! never liked the look. over time curiosity can be a very good thing.

and the right aperitif will wash all your sins away.

on the other hand, despite growing up singing jingles and talking to imaginary friends like the hamburglar, after reading Fast Food Nation, I could never eat anything from a fast food joint ever again. not even malt liquor can wash away that sin. i miss the happy meal toys though, when they were good.

1) the "obey" thing

2) everyone's ripoff of the "i heart ny" logo

3) dollar signs

when uo opened i copped a blue cotton frock in a mod silhouette for under twenty bucks. is there a formula that explains how they went from thrifty cool to ripoff crappy? am i just becoming one of the aged who remember penny candies, trollies and trams?

feed the tykes:

babysitting off and on, just shy of 2 decades.

it was cool. but i could do without being barfed on, poking and prodding, hair pulling, diaper changing, and questions like "can i see your boobies?" or "can we play piggyback ride again?" and that was just the parents.

feed the big kids:

transferred "food" up and downstairs from basement (dungeon) kitchen, flipped burgers, served transferred "food" to students (unsuspecting victims), etc.

although a student at the time, i treated the experience as a social science experiment, rendering extreme rudeness interesting over insulting. yadda, yadda, yadda. nearly got my supervisor fired, got a transfer and a 45% pay hike.

without a dream every job sucks!

i'm surprise nobody mentionned Nicole Kidman in Eyes Wide Shut...

this thread's supposedly just for the new yorkers, and you can't live here without bumping into somebody sometime, right? well, i got a pedicure next to her a couple years ago. sorry Kasper, imo she's much nicer on film. i'm not sayin', i'm just sayin'.

however, spotted sonia braga at tower records a few years ago, clothed naturally. she is a natural beauty. i forgot to mention her film Dona Flor e Seus Dois Maridos.

That european woman in Brotherhood of the Wolf.

That woman is Monica Belucci. She's also gorgeous in Malena and Irreversible. Some of her films are hard to get in the US. The most fun nude scene with her was the brides of Dracula part in Bram Stoker's Dracula.

Uma Thurman and Maria de Medeiros in Henry & June.

Kate Winslet in Holy Smoke.

Gong Li in Ju Dou. She was amazing in this role. But I saw this years ago, so I can't guarantee absolute buffness. I'd remember if certain things were bigger. But there's much cinematic value here as well as eye candy for the few pervs out there who need it.

Was Lisa Raye naked in The Players Club? I've only seen that one in parts, on account of the film kinda sucks...coulda been good though.

Salma Hayek in Desperado, if partial viewing counts.

Catherine Deneuve in Belle de Jour.

Victoria Abril and Antonio Banderas in Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down.

Grace Jones exposes a whole lot in A View to a Kill, but technically not naked.

Wasn't Brigitte Nielsen naked in something?

Tanya Roberts in Beastmaster. Come to think of it, somebody should've been naked in GOR, but I don't think that actually happened.

bunch of fuckin lames. if you need help getting laid all you gonna get is fat heffas anyway.

"there's some good pussy under there":p

smellovision would be very dangerous right about now.

wish i lived in the us, seen ur delis and man ur breakfasts are good, weird lookin sausages though but id prefer to live anywhere else food wise to be honest, what we got in old blighty(uk) is fish and chips, shepherds pie and fry ups, anything foreign and it means curry or chinese unless u wanna spend some serious wedge or live in a big city, but I have had some good chinese though but any sea food, my mums cooking, she's a chef(roast lamb, seriously good)or my nigerian housemates cooking, the fool throws every spice and herb ever grown into a dish but it still tastes great.

You reminded me of a memorable meal I had in England years ago. It was a homemade cream of leek soup. It had no flavor. But it was great because of the wonderfully spicy conversation. IMO every meal tastes better when eaten in good company.

A few dishes too tasty to share:

$ won ton noodle soup at Won Ton Garden, NYC

$$ omakase at Sakagura, NYC

$$$ omakase at Morimoto's, Philly

$ Chinese fried rice and Spanish beans at Dinastia, NYC

$$$ chicken tikka masala at Jewel of India, NYC - Is it still there?

$$$ entire teppanyaki selection at Imperial Hotel, Osaka

$$ antipasto at Pandemonio, Firenze

$ char siu bao (only) at Momofuku, NYC

$ crepes!crepes!crepes! and more crepes!!! anywhere in the Latin Quarter, Paris

that's a nice cut. it doesn't hurt that the model's got nice gams. but, where oh where can these little jeans be? do you know the size range? compared to the rest of the world, americans are some healthy girls, na mean?
