Thank God Britney Spears kept her coochie covered over for the last couple of days, I was getting sick of blogging about that… Now I can talk about things that I REALLY care about - me! lol! Well not exactly, but I did get some HOT new shoes!

These shoes are from A Bathing Ape. I actually got them at their NY flagship store in SOHO the week before Thanksgiving. Aren’t they HOT?? They are like $200 (not too bad compare to their hoodies and jackets which starts from $400 - $500 at least), leather and the gold part looks shiny and snake-skin-ish under the light. These are actually the most conservative looking pair they’ve got. All their other shoes are crazy colorful, looks like Nike Air Force 1’s but much hotter! I just don’t know if I could pull it off wearing those.

A Bathing Ape, a.k.a. BAPE is a Japanese urban/streetwear company. It was started in 1993 by DJ Nigo. It has developed such a cult following, it has spun off record label, hair salon, café, and toy line. In Japan and the rest of Asia, BAPE is the gold standard. In Hong Kong, a genuine BAPE T-shirt could fetch as much as $1,000!!

The reason being everything BAPE makes is limited edition only. And to the faithful, wearing BAPE gear represent membership in the BAPE culture and ideal. It’s just catching on in the U.S. mainstream, because celebrities like Pharrell Williams, Jay-Z, Fall Out Boy, Lil Wayne, Young Jeezy, Mandy Moore, Good Charlotte, and pretty much the rest of the Hip-Hop and wannabe Hip-Hop community is embracing it like wildfire.

Good thing the only real BAPE store is in New York, the rest of you suckers can just order all the knock-offs and counterfeit BAPE clothing on the internet! lol

And here’s the lovely Amy and Rachel with their new BAPE hoodie, HOTT!!
