The Taliban in Their Own Words



"Once proud Taliban mullahs and fighters changed the way they dressed so they wouldn't be recognized. No one wanted to be identified as a Talib. Friends and relatives who had respected me while I was a commander now turned away. I had no money or job. I moved my family to a village in Punjab, far from Afghanistan, to become a day laborer, but I was a failure at it. I couldn't speak the local language, and no one would hire me. So I returned to Peshawar and started selling vegetables from a basket in the market. I began making money. But I couldn't get over the Taliban's collapse, the death of my men. My wife said I was crying in my sleep. I went to a doctor, who gave me some medicine. I was so distracted that when a customer would ask me for potatoes, I'd give him tomatoes."

Maulvi Abdul Rehman Akhundzada , 40, commanded a 400-man Taliban unit in northern Afghanistan when the U.S. bombing campaign began, ended up selling potatoes in Pakistan in 2003, and now commands 50 insurgents operating in three provinces.

From The Taliban in Their Own Words by Sami Yousafzai and Ron Moreau

Dictator Chic



Since starting the LIFE Style series here on the site, I've highlighted some of the better dressed names out of that special set of Time-Life notable names. An era that's really coming to a close if you think about it. These are media properties past their prime, unfortunately, and the people they covered belong to certain passing age of celebrity. Now, one famous character that I've not touched on, but always intended to, is Colonel Muammar Qaddafi -- an all-timer in the annals of total weirdo style. A global icon of which style is a mere facet. That said, I could never find the perfect set of images. With Dictator Chic, Vanity Fair pays proper sartorial respects.

When the English writer and rake Jeffrey Bernard asked the painter Francis Bacon who in the world he would most like to bed, he replied, “I’d like to fuck the pants off Colonel Qaddafi.”

Cappello Shoots Wayne


Kenneth Cappello

Outtake from a recent Kenneth Capello Lil' Wayne shoot. I know, I know, not spaced out. So sue me. The look on his face is enough. Wait... Lil' Wayne is totally spaced out, so go fly a kite.

Fun House Disco



The 1983 single "Confusion" firmly established the group as a dance music force, inspiring many musicians in subsequent years. In 1984 they followed the largely synthesized single "Thieves Like Us" with the heavy guitar-drum-bass rumble of "Murder", a not-too-distant cousin of "Ecstasy" from the Power, Corruption & Lies album. - Wikipedia

LIFE Style | B Sides



Arnold's dream Gubernatorial cabinet. Yo, can we come up with another name for the so-called "Cosby sweater?"



Can we call it the Q sweater? The Dude is 10-x cooler than sitcom-era Bill, give me a break.



Somebody's in the mood for a melody...



In case you couldn't tell this is "Japanese hippie snuffing glue." There's more.



Anyway, back to the plot - get Lowe.

Garden of Eden



From those who brought you Fecal Face and Coattails, Bodega Boys is now brought to you. A secret leaflet, Bodega Boys is for readers and lovers of the arts. For my contribution to issue two, I've created a soundtrack of so-called oldies, golden or otherwise. It was my thought that the stylsish everyman of today is dressing with a wink to the American past, the '50s and '60s, as we know - so why shouldn't they have something to listen to on their iPods that suits such a look and feel? Slow dance with your girl, drink a can of beer, read a paper book and enjoy that weekend, sports fans.

Writes Of Passage



Outside of the usual/persistent cyber-writing, every so often I'll manage to get-up in the printed periodicals of the day. This month you can visit your local news boy and check out a trio of delightful pieces by yers truly. As above, I've contributed the cover story for this month's Peter Sutherland curated issue of Theme, on most everyone I know's favorite streetwear label, PAM. Truly stoked to write this one, and especially to have it run on the cover. You can also check out a brief profile on Leah Tinari - we had a great chat, she's fun. On to Antenna, where you can read a short musing of mine on today's vintage shopping and style scene. Thanks to the unfortunately shuttered Houndstooth, and still open Beacon's Closet and INA. And, what would a vintage story be without chatting to Mister Mort. As far as cyber-writing, I've been pulling together some Digg-able goods (I'm batting around 2oo Diggs, which is not too shabby) for Street Level - TILFs and Hood Energy Drinks being two popular pieces.
