The End.: Bahamas Is Brooklyn On Water.

Bahamas Is Brooklyn On Water.

Photos: Shopping strip in Nassau Bahamas

It seems as if this fairy tale of paradise was rocked with reality, in a coconut shell, Bahamas is Brooklyn. As I was touring this place flashbacks of BK came to mind. Im talking about the deep part of BK, the part where there's the Fish Fry place and the Fashions store. But let's talk about having no order, the streets are "drive at your own will", no lines, no direction, just drive. I noticed that alot of the people are banjee rude, cursing and such. Hotness and sweat is the same look everybody gives and as I walked the block "no thanks" became a common phrase that I used, "ay boy you wana purse fa yo lady", as if I would purchase her a bag that Gucci never made, oh people, but I will say this, them folks are some hustlers.

None of the shops did anything for me, you know I kept passing up those "Bahamas t-shirts" and self made straw baskets, but then I saw heaven, the Gucci store. This shop, opposite Rawson Square, is the best place to buy leather goods in Nassau. The wide selection includes handbags, wallets, luggage, briefcases, scarves, evening wear for men and women, shoes, watches, and perfume, all by Gucci of Italy. Now please don't get caught up with those vendors outside!!, Gucci doesn't have an outside store! But I kept it real fresh, Atlantis all day!!

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.
