If this isn’t the cleverest way to introduce a new piece of clothing I don’t know what is. Maybe I’m just biased because they’re dancing. As for the pants in mainstream fashion, you be the judge. Europe has been voting Hammer pants into every realm of fierceness for months, but what’s the verdict in the good ole U.S.A.? After all, who better to judge than you stylish of Cut & Sewn?..

 If you’re not ready for all that, try out the Harem pant. It has a similar cut but with less volume, and less bust-a-move incentive.

Though the chalked up photo of US AIRWAYS Flight 1549 in a previous post seemed to be of a phony nature, I was able to get my hands on the real one.

Needless to say, it isn’t less of a brain buster. I present to you a head shot of the ordeal. Dubbed as “Miracle on the Hudson,” I now wonder if veteran-piolot “Sully” is really the one to thank. Are those men and women standing on water? I thought Jesus was the only one who knew how to do that.

It is quite clear after seeing both real and faux photos of the flight.

Don’t call it a come back – US AIRWAYS Flight 1549 attempts to overshadow Highlights for Children Magazine. We all remember the feature “What’s Wrong?” on each issue’s back cover.

We would like to give a big THANKS to our good friends at Uncle Magazine  for helping us get hammered the right way!

Friday night at Public Assembly, formally known as Galapagos, (we all remember Cut & Sewn’s epic Everyone Wants a Piece Party) brought good vibes, good people and excellent exclusive reading material.

Sponsored by New Rome, the night kicked off right with mix-masters Indian Giver. There wasn’t a single booty in the crowd that wasn’t shaking. Using a Girl-Talk minded mix, they spun their own original flavor with a very energetic guitarist, drummer and singer. Singing along with Bono takes cajones. Here’s a video quicky if you’re curious and feel free to download their sweet album, Taking It All Back: The Mixtape Album.

Closing the night was DJ Swaaan. He rocked the house, we danced until bedtime aka when our motor skills began to shut down.

So why were we there anyway? To celebrate Uncle Magazine’s launch of Issue II . To read it in full, click here.
In only a matter of days will you be able to get your hands on a hard copy. We assume you don’t want to have to look long for it, so here’s an answer to the savenger hunt.

If that’s not enough for you, put on Indian Giver’s Mixtape, load up the photo album of the night, and let the slideshow begin.

Since the beginning of time, things have been awkward or boring. Then after alcohol was discovered, things drastically improved. Sadly, quickly after that groundbreaking discovery, another terrible one came, events that discouraged boozing. No longer could drink at funerals, church, or even elementary school. Or could you?

This is where you realize that you’ve stepped into trend two of the growing Don’t Call it a Comeback series. The solution to your sober situation in third grade geography class is the flask.

The original flask was likely made of wood, which means loss of liquor to porousness and splinters (it is wood). Mucho Oucho.

After great innovations, we’ve inched closer and closer to the flask you might now have at your side. Now they come in a much more convenient metal casing. This flask can be hidden in your pocket for opportune times to Irish up your coffee or Brazil up your sugar-lime water.

Even better are the newest formations of the flask. They can come in any shape, especially if that shape can be hollowed out.

Even a beer bottle could be a flask I guess.

My favorites, however, are both in my current collection. While I don’t have a Garfield flask or even a Super Mario Bros. Question Mark Box, I do have these nifty binoculars ones that can hold liquor in one side and soda in the other, OR, liquor in one side and more liquor in the other side. See this flask, buy this flask.

Your grandfather had the pocket-watch (Don’t Call it a Comeback nominee) and grandfather clocks (obviously). Your mom had Swiss-Army watches and the metal-banded, beginner-bling Rolex. Your annoying sister had the Casio calculator watch. You, what do you have? They say size matters, and in some cases, smaller is better. This is one of those cases. You, lucky you, have the ring watch.
Fashion is always calling for accessories like purses, necklaces, and shoes, but who wants to wear a silly key on a chain or Kanye’s new hideous Louis Vuitton shoe? These ring watches are rings and on top of that, they’re watches. That’s two birds, one ring. It’s the most practical thing you can put on your finger, outside of maybe a bottle opener ring, but that won’t tell you what time happy hour even starts.

Scenario: You’re in Hong Kong. You want to call your boy, Vladimir Putin in Moscow, right now, to tell him about a secret Matt Miller concert that may not have happened yet in New York. Your grandpa Morty, mom Carol, and sister Gertrude didn’t have the technology to answer that, but you do. Just throw on your rings and you’re more than set.
This is why I submit the ring watch as the first entrant to “Don’t Call it a Comeback,” our returning to the spotlight trend tracker.
