MTV Video Music Awards 2008
Why they chose an obscure British comedian to host the VMAs, I’m not sure? Jamie Fox did better as an awards presenter than Russell Brand did the entire night. Maybe his humor got better as the night went on? I’m guessing not. I wouldn’t know for sure since I fell asleep after the boring first hour. Anyone get a change to see Kanye’s performance at the end?
At least one good thing did come out of the VMAs, and that’s always the pretty young things that strut their stuff on MTV’s red carpet.
The Billionaire Boys Club has released a nice line of t-shirts for the Summer. Designs include their classic astronaut logo, vintage car drawings and ice cream typefaces.

See the complete coverage of the show on their official website.
Our friends over at BKRW got a sneak peek at the collections to come on the Lacoste star silhouette (Missouri) and see the different variations of this shoe belonging to the Stealth range (sneakers / select line from Lacoste).
To help you to make the difference between all the lines and the collections, they’ve written the name on each collection under each picture.
Just in time for the warm weather, Hellz Bellz has released their Summer 2008 Collection. Designs are quite edgy, but still retain a feminine flair.
Summer isn’t quite here yet, but Married to the MOB has dropped the 2008 collection. The new summer line consists of various graphic t-shirts, tank tops, and beach essentials like towels and flip flops.

The influence of the 80’s is back in a reincarnation of encouragement to wear bright colors. This is a great trend for both men and women to embrace.
