If you didn’t know I got engaged earlier this year in Paris. While there I picked up this new wallet from the original Goyard boutique on Rue Saint Honore.

One of the things Goyard is known for is customization. So I held off on using the bad boy for 6 months until I finally brought it into the SF store about a month ago.

Their choices for customization ranges from stars and hearts to crowns and stripes. I wasn’t feelin’ them so I drew out what I wanted and they told me they’d check with their artists to see if it could be done.

The result? True custom piece. Purist.

Lets just make this one short and sweet.

We were privileged enough to visit Medicom HQ. This is their showroom/Meeting room… I don’t think I’ve wanted to grab and run more in my life.

Thank you JJ and Jun for your hospitality.

Excuse the random pictures, there really isn’t a timeline just pictures I thought were worth commenting on.

Upon landing in Japan these dudes in Hazmat type gear came through with a heat sensing cam to see who was hot (I guess?) from Swine Flu. A person near the emergency exit was tagged and then they proceeded to put red dots on a potential “blast radius.” Dunno what happened after I left but I do know it took an extra hour after landing just to get off the plane.

First meal of the trip… check out the Toro aka Fatty Tuna, words can’t describe how much I love this stuff.

Speaking of stuff we love, check out the pics below. I’ll let you figure out where it was.

Forever 21 takes over Harajuku. HYPE! Can you believe it? You’d think this is a Yeezy release. This line was crazy, next few days we saw more yellow XXI bags than you would believe.

I’ll leave you with a pic of $50 cherries. Be back tomorrow with more.

Eric Avar X Aaron Cooper on one of THE best Tinker shoes?

Sorry I didn’t buy into the hype of the Pacquiaos, but I fully buy into the shoes.

Of course, being the grumpy old guy I am, I still love the original more.

Burt, I NEED these.

I stumbled across this website … I gotta say the title and content definitely have potential.

I owe some more content in my blogs but I have to shout out Ryan Case of Converse Skate for hooking it up with a
nice pair of Chucks.
