Only the retro Jordans are selling these days.  The sale for the new Jordans was way down compared to KG, T-Mac and Allen.  That's why Nike threw $90 Million over 7 years to Lebron while the current best player in the NBA, Kobe Bryant, got $5 Million less per year.

Is being "pretty" considered a good thing for men to be?
 
    I'll take pretty girls, but spare me the pretty boys.

No.  You simply have to appear that you are down with the ghetto crowd so that the suburban kids who like to believe that they're gangstaz buy up all your goods.  The inner city kids don't help the bottom line.

That Beckham guy's a tosser, just like every other sports idol.  Same goes for rockstars too.  Except for my main man Thurston Moore.

Oh I will just go and play my guitar with an electric drill......
 
 As for inspiration, sure, the Beatles and the Stones were inspired by American blues, but then went on to become the two biggest selling recording artists influencing in return one or two American acts.....
 
 
 WOOOOOO!

I think I am at about 2 on the cred scale, more if scars can count for tattoos.  I think they are cooler, and you have to work to get them.  Tattoos, just have to ask a friend for one.
 
 And if I got a tattoo it would be a smiley face saying have a nice day (but with only one eye).
