Update Your Wardrobe For Back To School Season

gstwd01Damn, last night in New York City the temperature was in the mid-60’s which means summer is all but over. This means one thing to me…football season. Which also means it’s time update that wardrobe and to go back to school!

This weekend take some time and hit up Kohls. They’ve got a ton of great clothes that are reasonably priced – I’s suggest the Levi’s 501 jeans but that’s just me.

While you’re there pick up something for your girlfriend from the new Candies line, they’ve got the apparel, jewelry and accessories that will surely score points with your girlfriend – and by points I mean sweet lovin’.

Marc Ecko: From College Drop-Out To Billionaire Hip-Hop Power-House

marc-ecko-face-225In 1993, as a sophomore at Rutgers University, Marc Milecofsky dropped out of school to focus on his expanding clothing business. Although he had no business plan or funding there was high demand at shops and street fairs for his spray painted T-shirts, sweatshirt, and jackets. With a dream, persistence, and savvy marketing, this Jewish kid from Lake Wood, New Jersey went on to create Ecko Enterprises, the biggest company in the global urbanwear market, topping Diddy’s Sean John and Jay-Z’s Rocawear with revenues of over $1.5 billion per year.

Sixteen years after dropping out of college, Marc Ecko will finally complete another important chapter in his life, obtaining his college degree as Rutgers is set to honor the mogul with an honorary degree this spring.

Marc Ecko is profiled in the March 2009 issue of Inc. Magazine, it is an interesting (and inspiring) must-read for anyone interested in a good rags-to-riches business story.

Who the hell wouldn’t want to start their very own religious cult? But where do you start? Obviously, the first thing needed in starting a religious cult is an ultra-cool cult wardrobe.

That’s where Snuggies comes in. Late one night I saw this commercial come on for the Snuggies’ blanket that you, and your family are supposed to wear like a Jedi robe. I said to myself, “Well f*ck me sideways, this would be the perfect uniform I’d have my followers wear when they drink the tainted grape Kool Aid.” Get yours today!
