Fashion Police for the Boys: Rolando Sturlini Marshall zip boots – clown shoes for men

Wouldn’t you be afraid you were going to trip over in these, chaps?  Certainly viewed like this they bear more than a passing resemblance to clown shoes but on a foot they may well look different.  Has anyone seen these in person and tried them on?  And what do you think of them?  Gentlemen, would [...]

Mr T-Shirt from Atslopes

This shirt is not only a very funny play on words, but it’s also visually awesome because Mr. T is kind of a bonified badass. I love how subtle his face is–most Mr. T shirts just put his face on a yellow shirt. This one is better. The shading effect (if thats the right term) [...]
