My sister-in-law shot me a link yesterday to a piece on Andre Benjamin detailing some of the essential things he can’t go without. In her email she called me a “product junkie” – a title which I embrace, fully. Here’s the Limelist…
NIKE SB “TRICKSTAR” GOLD DUNK LO PREMIUM
Definitely my favorite shoe in the collection. I almost didn’t get them, but thanks to Mike and Diana, I was able to come up on a pair of these gems. I hear they’re on eBay for $300+ now. I won’t be wearing these til 2010. Extra Doug E.
iPHONE 3G WHITE
The most revolutionary piece of equipment on the planet. If you’ve ever seen me, you KNOW my life depends on my iPhone. I actually have two of ‘em.
COMPLETE TECHNIQUE GOLD BRUSHED HEADSHELL NECKLACE
This is my good luck charm – literally. I’ve left my house for a gig without it and turned back around to get it several times.
OLYMPUS STYLUS 790 SW DIGITAL CAMERA
I see random stuff daily. A good digital camera is absolutely necessary to document (and blog about) what I see. On top of taking high quality pics, it’s waterproof and shock resistant!! Being the klutz that I am, being able to accidentally drop it in the toilet is a good look.
LOUIS VUITTON MONOGRAM PINCE WALLET
I love this thing. It has a fly gold money clip inside for the rare times when I have cash. It was the best birthday present I got this year.
APPLE MACBOOK PRO
This thing is money. Super reliable, powerful and sleek-looking. I refuse to use anything else or have it in the room with anyone using a PC. My baby might get sick.
TRUE RELIGION BILLY “SUPER T” JEANS
I have a hard time wearing any other denim. True Religions aren’t the most high-end jeans out there right now, but I don’t care. They fit me just right. I’ve accumulated a small cache (5 pair) of them, but I get fixated on wearing the newest pair I’ve bought for weeks days at a time. I even sleep in them occasionally.
ROCKSMITH TOKYO “CROOKED R” NEW EA HAT
My favorite New Era cap. The old school St. Ide’s – looking logo is genius. I love the turquoise tiger stripes under the bill too. Again, extra Doug E.
DOPE COUTURE “KIDS WITH GUNS” TEE
One the dopest shirts I have. Matt broke down the inspiration behind the design to me a while back which made it even flyer. (You have to get really close to see the interesting mosaic of kid-related things that make up the skull) The guys over at Dope stay winning. I know the fall line is gonna be stupid. Doug E. x 3.
“SONGS IN THE KEY OF LIFE” BY STEVIE WONDER
Arguably the greatest album of all time. No matter where I go in the world this album will go with me. The end.
RITMO MVNDO “HERCULES” WATCH
Umm… I just like it because it’s huge. Ritmo is an Italian company that makes super fresh watches with Swiss movements. I saw it at Barney’s in Chicago last year and bought it based on the size of the face alone.
