CAMOUFLAGE FACTOR: Pointer x Comme Des Garcon SHIRT Collection Shoes

Pointer x Comme des Garcons SHIRT Spring/Summer 2011

I have a feeling that CAMOUFLAGE will be making a significant trend in 2011. No, I'm not talking about you scouting out the closets for your dad's old hunting jacket (EWW...), but I'm talking about camouflage used on different pieces of clothing... like SHOES!

Here's an interesting play on words. Company COMME DES GARCON created their SHIRT collection, which gave people, including me, the impression that there were camo shirts that I was going to see... but I was wrong. They were SHOES which were released last month. They look interesting enough to 'peek under' some denim jeans or to be worn with a military jacket or vest that falls around the hues of the camo.

Thumbs Up for this kind of CAMO, even though I don't wear CAMO; I might try a little bit... I like trying different styles to see what suits me best...

GUCCI Men's Bags For Spring/Summer 2011 (Jaiden's Pick)

Gucci - Men’s Spring/Summer 2011 - Bags

Happy Easter Sunday!! This is the day where the world recognizes that Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God, arose from the dead, an impossible feat that took place over 2,000 years ago. Jesus' story is SO MOVING that it still impacts the world and of course sparks CONTROVERSY to this very day.

I wanted to celebrate that by showing you pics of Men's Gucci bags for Spring/Summer 2011. The heritage of these bags go far back in the 1920s, in the Mediterranean region (Florence, Italy) of Jesus Christ (whose ministry was not very far away, in Israel).

These are some HOTT BAGS, therefore 'Jaiden's Picks' because when something is really 'about me,' I'll label it that because... I'm a BAG MAN....

JAY LENO Cruises in Style In His 1929 Bentley; CLASSIC!!


JAY LENO is quite the collector.. and so he was of this racer that was considered the most formidable in its day. It's the 1929 Bentley Speed Six. It has a 'naked body,' meaning NO PAINT, and was engineered to operate without a head gasket, giving it virtually no problems engine-wise.

It's a cool car, CLASSIC, just THE ONLY JAIDEN style. Interesting car, Jay!

BEYONCE "Heart" Photo Shoot In Paris

beyonce hearts paris 02

BEYONCE was spotted, according to Just Jared, doing a photo shoot from a hotel balcony in Paris. It's a part of a promo for Beyonce's new perfume, and could possibly be one of the stills for any one of Beyonce's upcoming singles from her highly anticipated album. Ladies and photographers, you can use this as a template. Check out more pics of her posing.

SOULJA BOY's Throwback '80s Haircut + Da Brat's Dookie Braids w/ Colored Rubber Bands (FAIL)


I see a significant number of high school boys starting to rock the haircuts popular in the '80s, kind of like Soulja Boy's look (above). It's a cool look. Doesn't it just scream ART and 'Do the Right Thing' (Spike Lee)??

While in contrast, DA BRAT (old school rapper and Raven Symone's half-sister, which I find very hard to believe) was recently released from prison and she was tryin' to bring back her old days by wearing her mini-dookie braids with colored rubber bands. See below:


I know HOMEGIRL is trying to make a comeback and invoke a reminder of the late '80s/early '90s era, but in 2011?? Like this?? FAIL, FAIL, FAIL in the name of fashion!!!!

LIL WAYNE In Street Swag at The B-Ball Game


Check out Lil Wayne at the Lakers game wearing his own take on STREET SWAG, expensive swag, actually. Check the Billionaire Boys Club hoodie, Marc by Marc Jacobs camo shorts, and Christian Louboutin sneakers, all for $253 (hoodie) and $995 (sneakers).


This look is a little... LAZY...

But I'm feelin' those sneakers, for real....

RIHANNA's Jamaican Vibe at Coachella + RIHANNA "S&M" #1 Worldwide!!


"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but chains and whips EXCITE ME!"

The S&M singer RIHANNA does it again, in both style and music. She rocked a Jamaican vibe at Lauryn Hill's concert at Coachella; it looked fun and flirty with her Jamaican beanie and flame-red hair (reminiscent of "Rude Boy" days), and oh-- her favorite Louboutins!

In related RIHANNA news, the single "S&M" hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, making Rihanna hold ten #1s under her belt, the only female singer to gather that many #1s in a decade (the ONLY singer ever to have a debut single reach #1 after the second single). HMM... just sayin'... you can tell I like RiRi... "I like it, like it, come on, come on, come on, I like it, like it..."

BEYONCE In Hip-Hop Wear + Lauren London (Oh So Hott) On Cover of 'Rolling Out' Magazine


Lookin' STREET, huh?

Check out Beyonce at Disneyland with friends and Solange's ex-husband (hmmmm....)  wearing some 'CIARA-esque' street pants and suede boots (probably by Brian Atwood-- will confirm). And... that's also a 'GOOFY' hat she's wearing; I remember I had that when I went to the amusement park as a little boy. AWWW... good times. This is a HOTT look, though.

FUN, PLAYFUL, UNRESTRICTED. Hey.... It's DISNEYLAND!!

...And check out Lauren London's pic on the cover of 'Rolling Out' Magazine. Ladies..... make your DREAM become a REALITY!
THE ONLY JAIDEN says, 'You can do it!!!'


Well-placed outfit... not too sure about the jeans that come a bit far up the waistline... looks a little like Jessica Simpson's 'mom jeans' from 2009.
