The Maxim HOT 100 party in Los Angeles

Thursday, May 21st, 2009

I’m back. It was a trip for the ages. A little bit of business a lot of pleasure.

First day, I got in and headed straight to a meeting with Jay from Kitson Men’s. It’s always good to check out that store for new trends and see how our shirts are selling. V necks, V necks and more V Necks. Thats what I saw. We’ll be coming out with some of our very own V necks soon. After the meeting I met up with my friend David (he will be featured in this post quite prominently) and we went out to a bonfire on the beach. We raged til midnight which doesn’t sound too late, but LA closes real early, and I woke up at 4 AM that day to catch my plane.Second day was full of meetings. Met up with our showroom, our newest designer, our production manager, our LA screen printer, and one of our biggest accounts. All the meetings went better than planned. We got the biggest orders ever from that retail store, and the rest of the meetings were fantastic. At the end of the day, we made some time for the required Baywatch photoshoot in Venice Beach (above).

That night was pretty fantastic too. David and I met up with Sasa–the guy who put the Maxim party together. We went to the STK steakhouse 1 year anniversary. For those of you who were following my updates on Twitter, you’d know that I ran into Kim Kardashian (great ass), David Spade (to whom I asked, “Do you know where the weight room is?”), and Courtney Cox (still looks good).

Next day I met with the guys over at the Ryan Seacrest Show. We sat down for lunch to plan the User Generated contest we’ll be doing with the Ryan Seacrest show. Details to follow.

That night the Maxim Hot 100 party went down. Some of the most gorgeous women in the world descended unto the Santa Monica Airport Hanger. And Ari Gold (Jeremy Piven), two cell phones in hand, showed up. Open Bar, Terrell Owens, Popcorn, Heidi Montag, Ferris Wheel, bottles and models. Awesome awesome night. You should’ve been there.I’m wearing our Coke Healthier than Crack T-shirt.

The dawn of a new Vince – All hail

Wednesday, September 17th, 2008

In our second installment of “We love Entourage, and we know our readers love Entourage so we will review Entourage episodes a few days later than we should,” we take a look at “Unlike a Virgin.”

My roommate, current dentist, and former Crooked Monkey Funny t-shirts model, put it well when he said this is a new day for Vince. Vinny Chase has decided to grow up a bit. Realizing that he can’t always get what he wants by flashing those boyish good looks, Vinny starts the first day of his new life pro-actively chasing movie roles and women. Instead of sitting back and waiting for the next pay day, Vince calls a meeting with Ari to determine his fate. Instead of settling for the girl with nice legs, he woos Justine Chapin and whisks her away into his car. You get the feeling that Vinny is about to tear some shit up.

And we got a little more Lloyd which was great. His prance-turned-sprint was priceless.

I’m not going to talk too much about Drama, cause I think it went a little over the top. Good work Turtle–Bros over hoes. It always works out for the better.

Favorite Ari quotes:

-No indies E. Think of it as the Holocaust. Never again.
-You will come back stronger than ever. Like Lance Armtsrong only with two balls.
-Pull the plug on the projector.

Entourage is back – in more ways than one.

Tuesday, September 9th, 2008


Entourage is finally back. Feels like the summer all over again; like it never left.

I’m not sure why they waited until the end of the summer to Premiere it, but I’m not so mad. It’s been a real long time since we saw an Entourage episode and it was worth the wait. Last season was a little weak–Vinny Chase got real real annoying, and we didn’t see enough of Ari.

Maybe I’m just a dude, but I’m not that into last season’s Vinny Chase–he was too soft, got everything he wanted, and was too much a momma’s boy. But that’s neither here nor there.

Opening scene for Vinny Chase shows him on a beach in Mexico–hooking up with two gorgeous south american chicks, surrounded by blue water, bungalos, and women as far as the eye could see–refusing to come back to the grind of LA.

Ari Gold’s introduction pans to him walking down his hallway, greeted with condescending insincere modicums of moral support from colleagues and staff members, forcing him to stop in his tracks and warn his staff of their immenent firing. Mid-tirade, he interrupts himself and threatens Lloyd’s life for not answering the phone.

It’s really hard to paint an Ari Gold scene-so much of it is in his tone, volume, and unspoken language. Anyways, I love Ari Gold and am glad he was back in this episode in a big way.

E looks like he’s grown up a bit. Turtle and Drama were on point as always.

What a review. Take that Roger Ebert.

We sent some funny t-shirts to the guys on Entourage. I don’t remember which t-shirts specifically, but I know we sent My roommate is gay, Livin the Dream, I’m not a Gardener I just like Hoes, That’s how I roll, It’s my duty to please your booty, Life comes at you fast, Best Buds, Keep the Ration Strong

I think they could do a whole show on the My roommate is gay t-shirt. Turtle wears it out to a bar. Drama shows up. I’m not sure where it goes from there, but I’m taking suggestions.

Thank god Entourage is back.
