This is a look, isn’t it?  I am just baffled that this poor guy actually thought this looked good.  We’ve all made some bad fashion choices in our lives, but that slightly off-kilter hat is purposeful.  Those sunglasses are intentional.  That chain… sweet mercy, that chain… that was a choice.

But doesn’t the skinny jean sort of trump the whole I’m a Big Baller bling he’s got around his neck?  Homeslice is just missing a bandana and he’s straight out of Breakin’ 3: Emo Meets West Side.

I really shouldn’t mock this guy. He was just there looking to get a $1 fish taco, but hey, if you want to dress like an extra on Fresh Prince, you’re asking to be put on the Internet.

Did you get his digits?  (and by “get his digits,” I mean “laugh hysterically”)

I don’t think his outfit is the problem, so much as that he’s in the wrong decade. If this had been, say, 1989, he would have fit in just fine!

What was Slim Shady doing in San Diego?  He’s a long way from 8 mile road.

Hey, don’t dis extras from Fresh Prince like that.  They got paid to look ridiculous.

Apparently, the old skool hip hop look is back in fashion.

Next Stop: Oprah! Moxie Client on Dr. Phil!

We were super excited earlier this month when our client, Patricia of MotherinLawHell.com, told us that she was going to be on Dr. Phil’s show.  Woo!  That’s amazing to start.  But when we found out her website was going to be displayed on Dr. Phil’s “big screen” we were even more excited. National television? Syndicated even? Yes, please.

Last Friday the episode aired and I made sure to record it for posterity. Full disclosure: I don’t watch Dr. Phil often (ok, ever), but I was more than happy to watch it that day! And according to Patricia, the Dr. Phil staff “LOVE the design!” and think “it’s so FUN!”.  Yay! We’re thrilled to hear that since we pride ourselves on bold and happy designs. We do fun. Come and knock on our door, Dr. Phil’s staff. Anytime! smile

Yelp Goodness

Island Style Cafe (4/5) on Yelp

I had breakfast here with Lyn P., who recommended it and really, really enjoyed it. The place is really unassuming and since I rarely venture into Tierrasanta, I'd never have known it was there…
