The first of two Spring 2008 deliveries is now gracing the shelves of authorized Orisue retailers. This season, we wanted to focus on simplicity, but still push the envelope with color and by tweaking traditional cuts. Orisues Spring 2008 line, titled Pacific Division, pulls heavy influence from Mexico and Central America. It blends Southern Californian attitude with the flare of Central American culture. In our humble opinion, this is our best and most mature work to date. We hope you'll agree.

Don't ask how or why this conversation was recorded cause I still don't understand it myself... But this is what happens when our salesman, Alain Montiel, THINKS you called him a douche bag. You a little stressed Alain? What a fucking nutcase!
I remember like 4 months ago, we announced that we were going to post a Pedro Acevedo footy check every week. Well, here is the first one since then... 16 weeks later. I understand Pedro, that would require a lot of fucking work. Shit, that would be a lot of work for me too. Let's just stay on that 16 week program for now. By the way, is that the Italian flag on your griptape? I always thought you were Samoan.
You guys got lucky this year... Michael gave you the heads up that over the next couple of days, he's going to be posting hundreds of photos of people you never cared to see, posing in awkward positions with other people they hardly know. I've been sucked into that paradox a few times in my day, and let me tell you, there is no greater shame than seeing yourself hugged up on some dude from the clothing industry on some streetwear blog. Aside from that though, Magic is a great place for ugly people to get laid outside of there trip to Adolita's during ASR weekend. Yadadamean?
On the real though, Magic is all about business. I mean, it isn't really at all, but the people at the top of the ladder would most certainly like you to think along those lines. Check out this list of no no's Allen sent out just days ago in lieu of this week's events...
1. drinking or smoking (alcohol)
2. horseplay or raucous behavior
3. Fighting
4. Homosexual humor
5. Loitering in or around the booth
6. Sleeping in the booth
7. Eating (to be confined to eating area)
8. Use of drugs
9. Arriving late without notification
10. Arriving for work inebriated (drunk) or under the influence
11. Sexual Harrassment or sexual content (pornography)
12. Conversations about drugs, sex, or explicit content
The funniest thing about this list is that I am absolutely positive Allen himself won't make it 15 minutes before he's broken every god damn one of his own commandments. Atleast number 4 is a relief... He was just joking Lunch, he was just joking.
Now, back to what this blog and Magic have absolutely nothing to do with... Ricky Fox!
Allen said "Can we get some skate on the site, it's looking a little too hiphop." I agree Allen, how many youtube music videos can the fans of Orisue Clothing really swallow? And while I'm on the subject of youtube, what up with the headline for the Chocolate Rain Remix blog? What the hell does "Put You On The Tip" mean? I researched it, studied it, broke it down, took it to the streets, beta tested it with the kids, noone understands it. Is Orisue really on that next shit? Or is Michael confusing the lyrics of several different rap songs into one messy and meaningless catch phrase? Can someone put me on the tip here?
Anyways, as for the skateboarding blog that I am consciously concocting, allow me to introduce you to our homie Vitor. No, there is not supposed to be a C in there, it is Vitor, pronounced Vee-Tor. I guess it's a Brazilian name, which would make sense, as he is a Brazilian. I call him Beektor because it rolls off the tongue better and it's funner to say. Go ahead and say it... Beeeeek-tooooooor. Fun huh? Beektor is a very polite Brazilian, as I have noticed most Brazilians are. Whenever he leaves me a message on my voicemail, he starts off by asking how I am doing. I appreciate that. Not many people care how I'm doing, but I believe that Beektor does. Brazil got put on the polite tip. That's hiphop.
Enjoy this footage of Beektor and his many Brazilian friends riding their skateboards with outlandish ability...
Oh and real quick... Does David Allen even still intern at Orisue? Dude got a little too drunk and revealed that he has some serious fucking problems. You need proof? Check THIS SHIT! What!?!?!?!
