Happy Valentine's Day.

Shirt: F21, Jeans: BDG, Shoes: Penguin, Alcohol: Jack Daniels

Lemme tell you, sharing a blog with a few other girls is tough. Like sharing a bathroom. Everyone’s all trying to muscle in there to get what needs to be done, except you know the girls are going to take longer and leave hair on your bar of soap. So gross. More often than not, I am knocking on the door while Issa is posting and she’s like, “JUST A MINUTE!” and I have to cross my legs and do a little dance because I can’t hold it in much longer.

So I thought I'd change things up today. You know, sit down. You know how hard it is to take a picture of yourself like that? I was halfway through the shoot and the Roommate comes home randomly and I jump up and am all like, "Sooo, you're back early." So awkward.

I don't normally go around with my shirt unbuttoned, but I thought I'd try to go for a "rock bottom" look. Also, my brand new Penguin shoes! I will have a separate shoozday post in an upcoming update.

I will have to say it’s times like these I wish I had a girlfriend. Not because it’s Valentine’s Day, but because I am generally clueless about fashion and, like the invisible hand that drives the economy, girlfriends would be able to subtly manipulate my wardrobe through the years through Christmas and birthday presents. And assuming my future girlfriend is smart about menswear, I would become like a fashionable boyfriend accessory. Boyfriend accessory… to MURDER.

Haha, I know plenty of boys who have half-naked pictures of themselves on your cell phones, so I suppose taking pictures of yourself with your clothes on isn't too weird.

I know, I haven't commented in ages... [I didn't come up with anything witty to say]. But I just have to say, those photos with the bottle of Jack Daniel's look uber cool! Didn't it spill on the carpet? It looks as if there is still something in there!
Haha, I know it is awkward someone walking in on you when you're taking photos for the blog! :)
I have this fight with my brother... He doesn't have a blog, but we only have ONE computer!

Hm... Most guys don't like it when their girlfriend manipulates their wardrobe! Trust me, you don't wanna become a David Beckham... DO YOU???

lol "rock bottom look." Totally. You look like two benders past rehab.

Just kidding, you look handsomely disengaged. And the shoes are kickass.
AsianCajunsFebruary 15, 2009 at 10:08 PM
How do you not have a girlfriend when you're surrounded by all those beautiful girls?! And what girl wouldn't want to date a guy who can describe blogging with a bathroom metaphor?

Love the "rock bottom look."
Noelle ChantalFebruary 15, 2009 at 11:04 PM

You don't need fashion guidance, you look great on your own! Love the jeans.
AnonymousFebruary 16, 2009 at 12:03 PM

tokyostargirlFebruary 17, 2009 at 12:55 AM
Wow this is a totally different look for you!

And even though I was never your gf - you've gotta admit I've helped you on your fashion journey!
SaeromFebruary 17, 2009 at 2:22 AM
Psh, like you need a girlfriend to update your wardrobe. Love those shoes!
AlineFebruary 17, 2009 at 10:41 AM

i think you'll prolly have a gaggle of girls lining up for a date if you offered. it's nice to have a fashionable guy....but one that makes you laugh is a lot better. ;)

Okay, the first shot is just too damn good.
