The good folks from Find and Dandy have a Pop-Up Shop at the Blind Barber which will be open Today and Tomorrow. TODAY’S THE LAST DAY!! GET THOSE XMAS GIFTS FOR THE IMPORTANT MEN IN YOUR LIFE. :) My friend, the very talented, Richard Haines (What I Saw Today), who created this portait of me from a couple of posts ago, will be present doing $50 black and white portraits from 1-3 pm and 4-6pm. I’ll be cutting hair at the Blind Barber today from 12-9pm, but not tomorrow; it’s my day off. ;) See you later! Check out: FineAndDandyShop.com & What I Saw Today Via Blind Barber

“CHEAT” – A Lesser Evil (Mock-up)

by
AJ the Barber
So, I didn’t get a chance to watch last night’s Heat-Cavs game, but I couldn’t help but hear (or read rather) about it All over the Internet. Anyhow, I thought what the heck, seems like an appropiate time to post this silly spoof idea of mine. A couple months back while I walking back to Frank’s Chop Shop from my lunch break, this idea just came to mind. It was a No Brainer, and I drew it up in Illustrator that same night. Money has been tight, but I’m working an order and hopefully, it’ll be ready for December 17th when the CHEAT make their first appearance this season at Madison Square Garden. ;)

Calabrese x Garbstore Bag / Calabrese’s Barber Shop

I’ve heard of Garbstore a while ago, but I must admit that I’m not too familiar with the brand Calabrese. But it did remind me of a good friend, fellow batber and old coworker, Chris Calabrese.

I used to work side by side with Calabrese at Frank’s Chop Shop but now he’s on to bigger and better things. He now has his own shop, Calabrese’s Barber Shop, in his hometown Keyport, NJ. The homeys from BarberStyle featured Calabrese’s Barber Shop a few months back. Check out the post here. they also had a brief interview with Chris for their Heads Up column, here. Unfortunately, I still haven’t gotten a chance to make the troop out to Keyport to check out Chris’s Shop. :( I plan on doing a more detailed post on Calabrese’s Barber Shop in the near future but seeing this bag made me think of him (pause) and I had to Shout the Big Homey out. Good work Chris! Keep bringing fame to that Calabrese name! Oh, and the other Calabrese, you guys are alright with me, too. ;) via Selectism via BarberStyle

Kenneth Cole Rubber Duffle

I don’t usually fuck with Kenneth Cole, but this Rubber Duffle is Sharp! (and it doesn’t have any Obnoxious branding on it either ;) ) $198 seems kind of pricey to me for a something made out of rubber, but it’s nice to know that if you purchase a bag from Kenneth Cole in December, 100% of proceeds will go towards AWEARNESS (the Foundation for AIDS Research). via Gear Patrol
