A Final Farewell

I told YOU that Macho Man dying effected my whole shit. The dude was the illest dude in the WWF. Period. I mean Ultimate Warrior, Bushwackers, Ravishing Rick Rude, and some others were definitely cool, but Macho Man sons all those dudes. He had the kit, the bitch, Jimmy Hart, and clearly a mountain of cocaine.

I thought it would only be fitting to take a little time out of our day to pay respects to him with this youtube send off.

Rest In Peace My Dude

*propers to the homie Dustin

SDTW Sensitive Thugs

It must be hard to take a facebook profile pic that demonstrates both your thug nature AND your love for Marley's ability to give a voice to the specific political and cultural nexus of Jamaica's people.

Note* you probably thought I forgot about SDTW Sensitive Thugs. Not really. They just don't make a fucking tumblr of sensitive and thug worthy pictures that I can use for this feature. They are my internet white whale.

I Heart The Internets

Why couldn't I have found this before Memorial Day?

Dude looks like the old man that gets pissed off if kids play too close to his lawn.

Who Is SDTW?

This is me.

The God.

I am infinity plus one.

Bask in the florescent glow of my shaved side pony tail swag.

Rapfiti

The hell is wrong with adults these days?

Notice I didn't say kids.

Adults.

These dudes are rapping about graffiti and they are without a doubt at LEAST 52 years old. The dude has fucking grey in his beard.

Moving passed MC Just 4 Men....

Is it just me or is rap the new fucking pyramid scheme? Rap has become the go to "I give up" route for the entire world. It is specific only to rap if you think about it.

This doesn't happen with rock or any other genre.

I think mostly because that shit involves actual instruments and if someone has to carry something they are a bit more picky about the when and where's.

Ask a rapper to carry a fucking drum set to his next gig opening for the opener of the Special Ed show. See how long it takes before that dude is like "Fuck this! I didn't sign up for this bullshit. I'm gonna go get a job."

See that?

The dude went and got a job. Because his musical aspirations actually involved effort.

That is what I suggest to all of you who aspire to be rappers.

Get a job.

And while you're at it, get me one too.

Happy Tuesday.

Henna Peacocks... the joyful diversity of henna tattoo designs

Here is a photo of a henna tattoo for the inner arm. This image is of a henna peacock riding a paisley wave... embellished and spaced to fit the clients arm.

This design runs from above the wrist to a few inches below the elbow. Henna tattoo will give a good stain on this part of the body, but the color will be more brown than red as the skin on the inner arm is more fine.

I used a lovely henna powder from Henna Sooq for this paste. The paste is stringy, wet, and makes very fine lines, as you can see. I sprayed the paste with a bit of lemon sugar to keep it moist and to help it stay on the skin.

One of the lovely things about the peacock design is that is easy to apply to a variety of locations. While the first image is intricate and took about 10 minutes to complete, the next image you will see is one of a tiny peackcock henna on a tiny hand.

I will offer henna tattoo to children who are accompanied by their parents, and who are familiar with their children's allergies. In all the years I have been doing henna, I have not yet had anyone have an adverse reaction.

I take great care in creating a paste that is aromatic, soothing, fresh and easy to apply. This makes it safe for children. My littlest customers only have to be able to sit still for a minute or two to get a lovely little tattoo.

If you are not sure about your little one, I am happy to do a spot test for you prior to applying a true design.

If you would like henna for yourself, or to arrange a small party, please let me know. It is now henna season, and tattoo is available with 24 hours notice at The Midnight Sun, 1055 Park Street, Jacksonville, Florida 32204.

Or.. just watch for the Henna Tattoo Today signs as you are driving through Five Points.

SDTW Approves: Hood Lum

I don't normally like to fuxs with image sites, but when I do I fuxs with Hood-Lum

Get familiar.

SDTW

And in another rare move I felt like posting some phone pics. I did my best to cover all the standard tastemaker/curator cliches i.e middle fingers, RIP shit, masks, nudes, lomo filter scenery, and the like.

That one with the piss on the concrete is for all the dad readers. When your son has to piss and there are ZERO bathrooms available (happens more than you realize) you basically have two options:

1. break the law

OR

2. let your kid piss his pants

I always choose the break the law option. I actually wouldn't be shook if a cop saw us, but if like a short little property manager bitch caught me I would probably get shook because she would raise hell.

Jean Jackets

Just cause you put on a jean jacket doesn't mean you can walk around the block acting like THIS

Sub note*

The Warriors movie synopsis could theoretically be described as a group of 10 dudes that have NO shirts on whom are inexplicably chased to Coney Island by various groups of costumed assailants.

Supreme

As most of you already are aware Supreme (a small fledgling NY skateboard store) was viciously vandalized by a street tagger that goes by the nom de plume Kidult a.k.a Kid.

To help cover the costs of re-painting the store front Supreme has created this limited edition tee shirt which memorializes this tragic and defining moment in the small shop's history.
