Cant Touch This: Bay Area Kicks Sneaker Blog

BAK, Bay Area Kicks, is another great example of the evolution of the Blog. Started as a .com in 2003 to leverage the web as an online sneaker business, BAK staff realized TALKING and SHARING information about sneakers was a critical component of the online sneaker experience. Ba-Da-Bing, the Bay Area Kicks Blog.

This is no IBM commercial about 'just talk', this is another hard example of how Blogs are redefining information as a component of intelligent, thoughtful, customer oriented marketing. Going are the days an investor rented the store, stocked the goods, and paid people minimum wage to sell. We are moving to  the 'fully/multi/expecting to be' informed consumer; only the informing retailer will survive the wave.

Oh yeah. You cant touch this sneaker. Unless you fly to Asia. Do'h!

Mustaches of the Nineteenth Century

A Celebration of The Golden Age of Upper Lip Hair.

But Mustaches host could not be restrained from including this oldest known depiction of a mustache, and who could restrain it?

Pazyryk Horsemen, 300 BCE

The Pazyryk were an ancient nomadic people who lived in Siberian Russia, near the borders of China, Kazakhstan and Mongolia. They were obviously purveyors of excellent mustaches.

Sista So Fine

"Ooohh la la, ah oui oui. I say Muhammad Ali! These shoes are N-I-C-E. Only Jimmy Choo could make me break into song upon viewing the pump of the future."

Shelly's descriptions and fashion choices make Sista so fine a joy. We may even try on the pumps and stash a house key inside....
