Did You Do Your Homework Marquis?

So I was in my 9am class on yesterday and I swear I wanted to scream. Do they pre-screen these professors? -BORE THE HELL OUTTA ME. As he's lecturing us about the French Revolution Im reading my March Issue of Details magazine. And I sit on the first row. Im guessing he noticed that I was pre-occupied so he asks me a question and I look up and say what? I don't know, and continued to finish the Kanye article. Im sure he secretly wonders how is it that Im able to pass all of his exams with a B or better. Here comes the addiction, as class let's out I rush to the Ralph Lauren store, Hi Tim!! All this tension of being a college student and brand gets to my head. I spent an amount that I will not repeat. I felt so good afterwards, I got some good stuff. Aesthetics is my thing. I walk around the store excited to see all the new pieces, putting looks together in my head, now this is the homework I like to do. Im addicted to spending money on consumer goods. Im addicted to fashion magazine ads and pictorials. This is the work I like to do. The ultimate degree is getting paid for what you like to do. I stay doing homework. Class is dismissed.

She likes BKC. I like Epiphany.

I think it's very important to surround yourself with a positive team of people. Fresh ideas are always grown. It's such an organic feeling when you've found your inner circle. Who do you influence?

She likes BBC. I like Lanvin.

We're back at it again. Another year a harder hustle. 2 different coast. New York-our future home. Atlanta-our playground. Sham & I work together because we are so different. She's has the swagg and I have the in your face attitude. It's the perfect mix. She's simple. Im complex. We never try too hard. All this comes natural.

She likes Pharrell. I like Kanye.

Sham & I met almost 2 years ago. From that moment I knew we would be partners in this game. I remember our first meeting, it was at a photoshoot for LateBoots. I walked in the room and said "hi Sham it's nice to finally meet you", then we just went to work. It was so natural.

She's Edie. Im Andy.

Since we are a duo so many people say we remind them of Edie Sedgwick & Andy Warhol. She's the girl everybody likes. Im the guy that everybody loves to hate. Im cocky, arrogant, an asshole at times yet she is the georgia peach. She really isn't. I just get blamed for everything because Im the obvious bad guy. She is worse than me.

She's Brooklyn. Im Harlem.

Summer '08 we both interned in New York. She did Complex and I was at GIANT Magazine. I stayed in Harlem and she was in Brooklyn. She hated coming to Harlem and I hated going all the way out to BK. For our move to NYC we're gonna share an apartment, we're tossing a coin to determine where we'll stay.

She likes Michael. I like Prince.

We always argue who's the best performer out of the two. I believe Prince was for obvious reasons. He had swagg, what man do you know can get away with wearing heels and make-up? If you ask me Michael did all of that work to his face so he could look like Prince.

She likes Nike. I like YSL.

I once tried to buy a pair of Nike sneakers but they were to boyish for me. Trade is what you call it. Nike called up Sham and she went to New York to make her very own sneaker. It was dope. I would wear it. But instead I purchased some YSL sneakers. I like YSL.

She likes Marc Jacobs. I like Genevieve Jones.

I first saw Jones on style.com, I was like who is this skinny black girl tipping around New York. She's so chic. When Sham & I were in New York this past summer she actually met Jones at an event. I was sick because I should've been the one in the picture.
