fake bodega

Kanye is talking about some useless crap again because apparently some people called him out on this photo he took during Paris fashion week. Anyway, he responded with some "I'm really secure with my manhood" shit, yes yes we all believe you please put away your shutter shades and shut up now.

This post is not actually about Kanye though! Please feel free to take a bong hit a la Michael Phelps to celebrate. I try to bring in a little love on a Thursday evening. This is, actually, a post about the street style store (NOT) Half-Way Crooks. In case you have not yet had the misfortune to hear about this fine establishment, here is the spiel from the horse's mouth:
"America is fascinated with the swagger and poise of romanticized gangsterism. Full out criminals are base and vile, yet certain types of stylized, confident and shady characters are idolized: There are such things as half-way crooks."
I think the only people interested in "romanticized gangsterism" is Al Pacino, the fake mobsters off the Sopranos, and maybe Kanye. Even then, at least he's not a white Conservative who lives in Newton. I'm just sayin'. But, I'll be honest, I've never been to the store, though Luke told me that it was in a cramped basement, generally a massive disappointment, and he is now ashamed to have even been associated with it. Good.

Anybodegawannabe, last I checked, they didn't even carry the very essential kicks, only had overpriced tees, and Suga Daddy was threatening to turn the place into a cafe like he originally planned. But according to the Vanguard, they've finally moved up from the basement to a real place that slightly resembles a store. Finally worth a trip?
