Well, as you may have heard…I am a huge sticker/decal fanatic. I mean, I am just BA-NA-NA-S for all things stickers (bumper stickers, decals, deco washi tape, etc.) This is painfully expressed in my previous posts 1 & 2. So, what better way to show off my obsession passion for stickers by plastering them all over my laptop! This is what I have done so far, & I am definitely planning on adding more…
- エステバン (Esuteban) a.k.a. Esteban. This what I’ve named my laptop. Yes, that’s weird, but I’m OK with it.
- Teriyaki Source sticker. This is a nod to the Japanese rap band TERIYAKI BOYZ (which you may recognize from the Fast And The Furious: Tokyo Drift movie soundtrack)
- MACKDADDY decal. MACDADDY is a popular hip-hop streetwear brand from Japan.
- Black Icon Urban Garment sticker. This is one of the many logos from each clothing season of the famous Japanese streetwear brand NEIGHBORHOOD.
- B Side Label Fox decal. The phrase says: 狐の嫁入いです (kitsune no yomeiri idesu), which I think roughly translates to “To be married into a fox” (?) I’m a bit doubtful of my translation…
- BAPE STA sticker. This is a nod to the Japanese streetwear brand A Bathing Ape (a.k.a. BAPE).
- Fragment Design decal. Fragment is also another popular streetwear brand from Japan.
- NEXUSVII (Nexus 7) paper sticker. Yet another popular streetwear brand from Japan.
- HUF ‘H’ decal. Finally a label not from Japan. This one’s an urban skater/streetwear brand from San Francisco.
- B Side Label Otter decal. I can’t really make out what the characters say on this one, since the writing is so small and squished together. I could only decipher the word “safety”, or something like that.
- NEIGHBORHOOD Urban Garment sticker. This is the main logo for the Japanese streetwear brand NEIGHBORHOOD. As you can see, I am a big fan of this brand (& so is my husband).
- Firmament Berlin Renaissance sticker. Firmament Berlin is a popular clothing shop located in Germany. They carry various urban streetwear brands, most from Japan.
Guys who use man bags (a.k.a. “murse”) are hot. Well, I don’t like to use the word “hot”, but they are VERY attractive. I find guys who use man bags to be very intriguing. I can’t exactly explain this attraction. It is what it is.
However, not all guys who use bags are attractive. For example: no generic PC bags from the mall, no backpacks, no book bags, no bike-messenger bags, & no pretentious metal briefcases. I like guys who use small bags, or technical waist pouches (which are NOT to be confused with a fanny pack). These are also bag types that men use which I find attractive: leather tote bag, small postal bag or satchel, a business-casual or slim laptop bag, a soft leather briefcase, or anything else that looks technical. I like it when a guy uses his bag naturally, with comfort & ease. I don’t like guys who use bags as a fashion accessory just because it’s the trend of the moment. It just has to be natural, simple & functional.
I know there are many guys who think using any type of bag, other than for school/work or grocery shopping, is not cool or acceptable in any way. To those men, using a bag to carry your non-business/non-school related items is just such an overly feminine gesture, & it’s rather demeaning for males to do such a thing. But those guys are just too chicken to explore & to dare themselves to do something out of the ordinary. Plus, that just makes you so blind to our modern society….where everything is pretty much UNI-SEX, & the Uni-Sex style is a hot trend right now. Besides, it’s not like you’re being asked to wear skirts (no offense to Scottish kilts) and/or makeup (no offense to Goths & Emo kids). Guys who use man bags are AWE-SOME…& it’s not cool when your pants pockets are puffing out & bulging with your personal effects (i.e. junk).
Not very many guys carry a lot of stuff in our Western society. Most guys only carry their slim smart-phone, slim wallet, and a basic set of keys. However, there are more & more guys popping up who like to carry: a notebook (for random notes or doodling), a book (to read on a bus or train), or an mp3 player…something more than just your average phone/wallet/keys. It’s not cool when you try to stuff everything in your pockets (even if you are wearing cargo pants). Nowadays, more & more guys are carrying laptops, tablets and/or eReaders. Hey, practically every guy in Asia uses a man bag…even kids as young as 10 years old use them. It’s just so common. To me, when I see a guy carrying a man bag, I find it very normal (& pretty damn sexy). It’s no different than lugging around your book bag when you were in college. It also goes along with the whole “Metrosexual” trend that’s extremely popular these days.
So to all you men out there…go get yourself a bag, baby!

I think this may be the best photo I’ve seen on the web this year. What an amazing snapshot of a fox following a hound. My, how the tables have been turned! (This snapshot kind of cracks me up a bit.)
