MADAM CLICQUOT

Well, it's New Years Eve and it seems as good a time as any to tip a toast to the queen of bubbles... A few of these bottles have gone down this season at the Hawaii compound, leaving behind a pile of packaging... My good buddy down the road, Doug Britt, recycled the packaging into killer holiday keepers... So, enjoy your evening my friends, and stay fresh... SS

 

WHAT THE *#CK

Okay, I try to focus on the positive and soulful with this little blog project here... But, on my cruise through the blogosphere this morning I come across this photo with explanation of what it is, blah, blah, blah... Well now I am forced to make one thing perfectly clear to any of the brethren that frequent this location, or anyone interested in my journey... I, Shawn Stussy, have nothing to do with the corporation using my surname in any way, and have not since I sold my interest many years ago... After seeing something of this caliber touted as something cool, I am more than a little confused and a bit embarrased to tell you the truth... Dude, please tell me this is not what people out there are waiting for... SS

THE END

Another year is coming to an end. Please excuse my tardiness on posting as of late, the surf has been great in Hawaii and I have found it hard to sit at the screen and goof around... So here is a simple shot that is as good of filler as anything I could think of... Enjoy the end of 2009... SS

AK+T.MOE

A beautiful nose perch by Mr. Knost, sent along the etrain by Senor Campbellini... SS

HIT THE ROAD

How about this sled for a coastal cruiser?.. This is about as pared down as it gets, we don't need no stinking bumpers... SS

BEEF

A modern version of the American dream, not much different in spirit I guess from my great grandparents who came from Europe also. Well, except for the steroids and movie career and government job ... SS

T. MONK

Mr. Monk wearing this type of hat in the proper spirit, seamless with the suit and tie... SS

EDDY

This here is my road bike from the mid eighties... I have hung on to it since I got it new from my buddy, Daryl George, who ran a little shop in Laguna Canyon called Ozzies... He was buddies with all the Italian bike world guys... They would end up in Laguna every year during the big bike show in Anaheim... We would all get mexican food and they loved their tequila... This bike was a reissue of old graphics that Eddy had on a bike earlier, I forget the details... This bike was ridden pretty regularly 1983-1988... I always keep it hanging around as a reminder of great design... SS

CHET

Mr. Baker pulling off his totally cool and timeless look... This is the vibe I always hold up as the benchmark for gentleman of all ages...

BB

This whole vibe has always worked for me... SS

MUSH

Reduce your carbon footprint, get an eight pack for this winter... SS

SOFT

After all those cool dude photos, I need to get back to the softness... Hope you enjoy this for the flow of it all... SS

COOL DUDE three

Rocking his Banlon knit polo and simple chinos, Miki is the touchstone... Sizing up the situation... Feeling it... SS

COOL DUDE two

Just explain to me how one could be more cool than this?.. But note, you only got so long to be this fresh if you follow in this guys footsteps... Homeboy took another visual path later in life, but there is no denying his flyness here... SS

COOL DUDE

This guy is at the very top of the cool dude list... Do the best you can with what you got... SS

COOL CHICK

I love this gals whole deal... I remember laying around and listening to that Mingus album thing when it first came out... Shit was cool... And, she would have been perfect in the Citroen... SS

CITROEN two

Another great shot of the fabulous Citroen DS... This time with the equally dope, Jane... SS
