Girls Got Kicks is a book project put together by Lori Lobenstine, founder of Female Sneaker Fiend, to showcase all the lady sneaker fiends of the world and show the boys that they’re not the only ones who like to keep their kicks fly. She enlisted M.I.S.S.’s very own Amanda Lopez to shoot all the women and their sneaks as the duo travels across the country to different cities.  I’m very honored to be included among the women featured in Girls Got Kicks.

In Issue 16 of Sneaker Freaker, Lori and Amanda were interviewed about the project. If you didn’t catch the interview in print, check out the Girls Got Kicks feature now available on SneakerFreaker.com.

My friend Colin just got back from Japan and he had the sweetest gift - Hello Kitty! This kitty is extra special - she’s even got a skull on her bow. Thank you Colin!

WTAPS is a men’s brand based in Japan that produces men’s apparel and accessories with amazing quality and design.  Sometimes as a part of their collections WTAPS produces some lifestyle pieces - one of them being incense.  I got a hold of some of their Kuumba incense and it is the best smelling incense ever!  Get any thoughts of Nag Champa, hippies or patchouli out of your head!  This is incense for the grown and sexy and it smells like a combination of rose and chamomile.  The smell is so refreshing it’s an instant serenity now!  It’s pretty hard to come by as WTAPS is sold in only 2 stores in the U.S., but you could find it here.
