A dazzling summer centerfold for the young sunbather. Welcome to a climate where truth is heard and every photos are ocean glow perfecto. It’s a winner when you introduce yourself with distance and goodbyes end with hugs. “Many people are on their way to heaven, but very few are enjoying the trip.” I’m going to take my time and do it how I want. (In my most masculine voice for the boys who can’t take it.) I’m a little selfish to have my skin glow and smell like a vacation; Could you blame me? Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. This modern nomad found a new lily pad with bags of impact. Watch me leap in a month — wanderlust. You have to show no fear. Set your parameters and stick to them. The last stretch for home base will be an instant statement.

Okay let’s talk about you, then more about me, then end with me. I keed, I keed But honestly, I don’t make plans and I don’t make breakfast. What I do enjoy is something that stands outs from the standard design, which is what I found going downtown. The world looks so much better through my sunglasses. Do you see what I see? This is not dramatized or on a closed course. So here’s a toast to my first summer in three years away from New York. You see, “regret and fear are the twin thieves who rob us of today.” We must play in the sunshine. Oh the luxury of being five minutes from the beach where no one knows my name — And then I realized adventure is the best way to learn.

One more reason to fall for the love below. Where’s my b-f-f? Recovery with the bestest; we got to play in the sunshine. Some things may not seem to go together — like me and “cowabunga, dude!” –well, no surfers actually rode waves on my trip. But the beach bods were definitely in play. My Diana Prince is starting to bleed into my Wonder Woman, tonight I’m going to find my four-leaf clover. Would you tell me when you think we’ve crossed the line? Blink your eyes. One for yes. Two for no.

Elvis would sing for this one.
You want to know one of Sham’s favorite’s of places to visit? The beach towns of Charleston, SC, a marathon of beautiful interactions.We don’t resort to violence, we on resorts and islands. Sorry that was just an ad-lib. First sand of the season, when the real me comes alive. In the deepest ocean…the bottom of the sea…is our southern backyard. Nothing is wrong if it feels good, right? Everybody leaves if they get the chance, and this was my chance to get a mini tan before the summer. I hit the bottom and escaped–southern shade.

Sean Brown & I at Flying Saucer Cafe
Sean Brown– a like-minded connoisseur– made a trip the U.S.A by way of Canada. The thrift stores in my area may pale in comparison to the loads of vintage gear found in TO, and Sean Brown has brought nothing short of rabbit trick to the ĭn | tər | ĭm™ thrifting experience. The rumors are all true… the Art of Rəuse is COMING TO AMERICA– the capitol of the world– New York! The same rules apply, all shoppers have a three-item purchase limit and no item priced over $50 dollars. And what’s more American than the remix? You can call me the feature artist.

“Working with brands, creating the future”
Wake-up Call: 3:30 a.m. and I’m taking off like a rollercoaster while you were dreaming on Sealy. I played the part with some New Angeles kids who just killed this New York shoot. And guess who’s sitting in the producer’s chair? Chris Stamp. He’s no stranger to LateBoots; his name should be tatted on your brain by now. While visiting New York, Stamp introduced me to his business venture–Cornerman Productions. The Cornerman is a creative branding and production agency, working between Los Angeles and New York. We focus on bringing our clients innovative point of views, through a taste level without precedent. The collective is run by a group tastemakers consisting of Art Directors, and Photographers, all masters of their trade. Check inside for a day in the life of a 14 hr day.

view from R Lounge Times Square
What a way to spend the night– lights light lights on 24 hours mixed with no sleep. I couldn’t contain myself from looking out the window. Conscious to not confuse what is important with what is impressive. I have life, love and possibilities. A positive outlook usually trumps a poor situation. “The Crossroads of the World” is the farthest point from any destination of mine in NY. But this spot feels like a winner. I highly recommend the elevated view. The R Lounge ” floor to ceiling windows that offer the ultimate panoramic view of Times Square” are box seats to any new visitor wanting to view the extra bright iconic world landmark–minus the tourist.
