Yeah.. I’m at a loss about this one. Man About Town is a magazine with “Babes, bikes, battleships, booze, burgers, boards & beastly behaviour” but then this video sure is an odd one. I was intrigued with the juxtaposition of stlyes and eras, and ready to give it a thumbs up based purely on the execution of the concept, but the major continuity blunder in going from penny loafers to Vision Street Wear high tops bummed me out. I might have to invent an S&A award just so I can give it to this video. Make no mistake, I love it that people feel a need to make skateboarding videos like this. I wonder if Kilian Martin turned up to the shoot with a European carryall for a skatebag… Has anyone seen this magazine? I mean, I know people have seen it, but I’m asking our readers.

Sure, skateboarding is a largely homophobic subculture, but we’ve come a long way baby, when someone can release a man purse skate bag. Dylan Rieder Gear From Gravis. Video of Reider riding after the jump.

French Vogue, as spotted on Jezebel. Scantily clad models posing shots of roughing up dudes. In this case, Dewitt Cannon. I can’t see any of the accompanying text well enough to read what the point is.

Athleta catalog cover for summer 2010. There might be other images hiding on the Athleta web site, seeing as how they are for more or less seriously atletic women, it’s not Delias, you know. Although Delias does own CCS. Those are not appropriate skate shoes young lady.

Steve Madden designs shoes. My wife is a fan. I thought he just did women’s shoes, but apparently he does shoes for guys. I’m not sure what the back story is, but I’m going to go out on what I assume is a very, very strong limb and guess that the “Skater shoes line is designed to be fashion over function. I guess it’s possible he did some research, maybe had the guy in the photo doing some product testing. Possible, but not likely.

Thrasher shirts for sale in the teenybopper girls store at the mall? We’re not talking Hot Topic, although that would make more sense. This is Forever 21. Two things I should point out, the shirt does not actually appear on the front page of the web site, this is a doctored image. The Thrasher shirt actually appears in their “Men’s” section of Forever 21, called 21Men, which is coincidentally the name of the last years Best Picture winner at the (warning, NSFW) GAYVN awards. Also of interest, price of the shirt is the same as would be if that design were available for sale at Thrasher. I would scream “sell out!” were it not for the fact that you will soon be seeing Skate and Annoy fashions at Torrid. I like that shirt.

His balls haven’t dropped, but he can acid drop. This is teenie bopper and recent musical guest on SNL, Justin Bieber in Teen Vogue. Man, he looks special in that outfit.

This t-shirt is for sale over at Palmer Cash, but it’s imprtant to know that MC crystallized this idea in 2007.

Posh Spice spotted on the beach wearing sunglasses and an Indy hat. And you thought she was too cool to shop at the mall.

Update: Here she is sporting a Girl Skateboards hat too.
