The End.: Limos Were Cool, Right Showbiz?

Limos Were Cool, Right Showbiz?

Sighting: 90's limo found on the streets of Atlanta, Ga

When I saw this limo the other day it automatically brought me to my childhood, all I can remember is how I use to give so much to my parents. Every birthday I wanted a limousine to pick up my friends and I from school, and I never wanted parties on the weekends, I would tell my mom "everybody has their party on Saturday or Sunday, I want mine on like a Friday".

I was always the "show off" kinna type and I would stress to her that I wanted the limo to come at the perfect time, you know when the other kids parents were coming to pick them up. I was in elementary school so we got out at 3:00pm, and on Fridays we had snowcone day, I always opted for the pickle and popcorn joint because it was just tacky to attack that ice in public-plus I was scared for that color syrup to get on my clothes. My family members use to call me Showbiz because I was always at Showbiz Pizza, which is now Chucky Cheese. I would have the biggest table in front of the stage where they had the band of mechanical animals performing. Back to school on Monday, all the kids would be talking during a game of four square, "you the one who was in that limo huh", smile. See I was always good at branding, I think it's because I was an only child, I had nothing to do but to plan out how I wanted to be perceived.

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.
