J. Cole… B.o.B. … Naledge… and now, a couple’a jerks.
Pushing forward from a supposed fad to full-fledged movement, new crew Audio Push, featuring Cali-bred teens Oktane and Pricetag, is taking the jerk dance craze to the spotlight following YouTube sensation “Teach Me How to Jerk” music video. Audio Push is taking that momentum and applying the duo’s contagious energy to a new mixtape, The Soundcheck, dropping by the time you finish reading this. Oktane and Pricetag sat down with MTV to talk about about the latest, and… oh, would you look at that – Oktane representing ® Society Orignal Products‘ The Fontastic Tee and spring/summer’s The Nine to Five Vest… cop the latest Light Speed Jacket for the fall look. Word.

Hint: When a beautiful woman offers you some free advice – listen.
Our lady Val, currently tearing shit up on the slopes of Niseko, Japan, is providing a public service announcement for us dudes on what the pretties want to see in us – or rather, on us. And when a girl this fly and tres-vogue speaks on all things fashion, she has our undivided attention.
(Fourth grade boxer shorts and how to be a fuckin' man:)
Now, that’s worse than my fourth grade buddy. Left the toilet too fast?
When I was in fourth grade, I thought the dude in my class with his half-globe polka-dot boxers exposed was kinda gross. Now, I still think that same way. Doesn’t matter that I have been actively working in the fashion editorial industry for the past five years, some things just don’t change. Sure, I have seen some trends come and go but the rare occasional trend shows that good style always has a place in our closet. So, it’s my newly appointed job to spread the knowledge of the Karmaloop-shoulder brushing-“damn I look good” knowledge. It’s the new fashion 411 on how rock the new age of modern street fashion. After all, we ARE the future of fashion.
Wear that and I’m yours.
I want my man to look fresh, confident and shit hot. I am sure he wants me to look classy, demure and drool-worthy. As the laws of attraction work, beautiful people are attracted to beautiful people. It’s the one rule we all have to remember: if you want to have a beautiful woman, you have got to be equally earth-shattering. The thing it boils down to? Style. Lots of it with personal hints of humor and confidence. The best example I could think of? ®Society Original Products‘ Genesis Jacket. What a great way to rock a well-cut flattering black jacket AND have an awesome lining inside. Glad to know that you men need daily reminders on how to be a better man. I like. I might just have to buy it so I could wear it inside out.
Hopefully, in my attempt to better the world with better-looking people, I will finally find a boyfriend.
So… unless your boxers look like this:
Don’t show the world your ass.
Love,
Miss V
