Michael Keaton: Diamonds are a girl’s best friend.

2010-06-27T21:07:00.000-07:00

If I had to pick my favorite actors...well, I’d have a lot of them. But amongst the Tom Hanks and Greg Kinnears out there, one in particular holds a special place in my heart: MICHAEL KEATON. He was in super funny films such as: Mr. Mom & Multiplicity. Here he is sporting a very conservative line of argyle print.

Love you, Batman!

ARGYLE IN DA WORKPLACE

2010-02-22T21:06:00.000-08:00

A friend and fellow creative department co-worker, Danny Bobbe, works in the video department (alongside another cool dood, ATB). DB is always very well-dressed for work, and today was no exception! During our morning team meeting, I spotted a little hint of my favorite pattern peaking out from his pants (this sounded less-creepy in my head). I promised him no face shots, he’s so camera shy!!!

Arglye socks: in detail. (square-toe, v. nice!)

Danny not only has a degree in journalism, he also is a singer and guitar player for L.A. Font. Check them out, check Danny out, and check out his socks!

Argyle winery is located in Oregon. All grapes in this winery are hand harvested into small baskets and transported to the winery. Grapes are chilled overnight to 35F before crushing the next day. Argyle was named “Oregon’s Premier Winery” by Wine Spectator in 2000.

I’ve never had Argyle wine, but I do have a cork that Joyce brought me from Seattle. Thanks, Joyce!

Not only is argyle an accomplished pattern, it is an award-winning wine!

Cheers!

Sabre-gyle

2010-02-13T23:56:00.000-08:00

It’s hard being apart from Kenny, but one way we hang out is by video chatting and as of late, watching online movies and television shows together. While catching up on The Office, we watched the episode “Sabre.” In the opening scene, Andy Bernard (played by Ed Helms) sings a parody of Miley Cyrus’ “Party in the USA.” In doing so, Andy Bernard sports an argyle sweater!

My goal is to update this blog more often. It has such a fun concept, I refuse to let it die!

I'm in Blue Springs right now, but am leaving for LA in a few hours. I know I haven't been posting, but a New Year's Resolution is to be better about blogging. My first sighting of argyle in LA was at the post office on 6th and Spring. Check this out:

I know that the socks couldn't be the ONLY thing I talk about in regards to her outfit, but I mean...this blog is pattern-specific.

Mad About Argyle

2009-09-08T14:35:00.000-07:00

After a two month hiatus...

I'm ba-ack.

What's been new? Moved back to Blue Springs, moving to LA tomorrow. I know, it's crazy. But this isn't a travel-blog, this is an argyle blog! I have a lot of catching up to do, I KNOW.

Before I pass judgment on things that seem to be really popular nowadays (i.e. Twilight, other vampire-related things, Family Guy, Dane Cook, etc.), I usually give it a pretty decent try before I decide to hate on it. So yes, I've watched and read Twilight, I've watched a few episodes of Family Guy and I've listened to Dane Cook's CD. I've even been known to give full seasons of television shows a chance: like Heroes (eh) and I even watched an episode of some tv show with Kenny and Ben (I forgot what it was called, but I would really like that 50 minutes back).

Everyone has been going on and on and ON about Mad Men. Basically it's about Sterling Cooper, an ad agency on NYC's Madison Ave. It's centered around Don Draper, the CD, and it's set in my favorite time period for entertainment: the 60s (sigh, I miss American Dreams). I've been watching 3-4 episodes a night before going to bed and I took a screen cap recently:

These wonderful yellow, blue with white accented argyle is worn by Bertram Cooper (Robert Morse). Background: he's pretty into Japanese culture and refuses to let anyone wear shoes in his office, hence the socks.

So there you have it! I hope this holds you over until my next update (coming soon, promise).

OMG.

I have been MIA for over a month. My apologies, my faithful readers.

For my big comeback, I am displaying (for all the world to see) a fellow blogger, viscommie and good buddy of mine, Erin Semple:

Here she is, sporting well...argyle (duh, the objective of this blog). Isn't she darling? She also resembles Keri Russell (Erin is cuter, btw). Erin and I met through Amanda Senn (another fellow viscommie). Erin and Amanda play golf together. If you recall, I posted a blogyle entry about Justin Timberlake, argyle and a golf magazine. It all comes full circle!!

I hope this update was sufficient, I've got a few more posts up my sleeve so keep a look-out!

Argyle always,

Jessica

Argyle is All That.

Do you guys remember Saturday Night Live? This past April, Zac Efron hosted an episode of SNL and did this really funny skit where he comes back a year later after graduating from East High (vid above). Check it out! Sometimes SNL is funny.

Okay, now to business.

Remember Kenan Thompson? He was in All That. And then he started doing the Mighty Duck movies. Remember this show?

Now he's a regular on SNL and in this particular skit, he is wearing argyle! Lookin' good, Kenan!

Capital Fashion

2009-05-24T18:56:00.000-07:00

I know I have been AWOL as of late. And the most I can do is apologize. SORRY! I know I have deprived you, my dear friend, of such a wonderful pattern. But now that school is over, I will have updates out the wazoo. And I promise not to use the word “wazoo” ever again.

For my first post as a college graduate, I have decided to feature my first lady and yours, Michelle Obama. Michelle sports many looks with her argyle and like her overall style, she does this in a very classy and simplistic way.

Personally, I’m a fan of argyle sweaters and sweater vests. I don’t own any argyle cardigans, though I do enjoy plain cardigans. I used to have this thing where I was against argyle cardigans because I felt that the buttons disrupted the pattern. After much consideration, I’ve decided I can deal with argyle cardigans. I am, however, still on the fence about argyle zippered cardigans/jackets. But seriously---do zippered sweaters count as cardigans? I never thought so. Check out these pics:

I am diggin’ this color scheme. It’s very brownie-girl-scout-esque...which is something I always associate when I see brown and blue together.

I thought this look was interesting. A belt over an open cardigan? Eh, I don’t know. But I do enjoy this argyle cardigan! Another peeve I have with argyle fashion is that I am totally against argyle on sleeves. It’s just... ew.

Another argyle cardigan. Dannnnng, gurl!

And of course this post can not be complete with the mention of my favorite color, purple. But seriously, ‘Chelle... how many of these cardigans do you own???! That’s four, people, count ‘em...FOUR argyle cardigans. She’s catching up to my count so I better be on the look out for more argyle.

Things have been cray-cray as of late, as I prepare for my senior show. Right now, my other blog is getting my attention, so you should check that one out to get your fill of me. To tie the two together, here is what the view from where I work looks like:

This is Bearemy chilling with an argyle sweater vest next to my external hard drive as I work, work, work on a Sunday afternoon.

Pargyle (like party + argyle).

2009-03-22T19:45:00.000-07:00

So it’s Sunday night, the first out of the past 5 nights where I haven’t been socially-lubricated. This past weekend was a bit cray-cray, resulting in a swollen ankle (you guys know my fear about this!), scraped knee, various mysterious bruises, laws broken and more fun stuff like that. But this blog isn’t about that boring stuff!

It’s about argyle!

And I know I’ve been MIA, but I’ve got some good entries lined up (promise!) Here’s a pic to hold you over until the next entry:

This is my buddy Jeremey, and his argyle underwear! He saw me at a party and said, “Jessica! I have to show you something!” and proceeded to unzip his pants... ARGYLE! I look very excited and hot (temperature-wise) and who knows what I was thinking because I sure don’t remember. I look pretty happy, though! Argyle does that to me.

Jeremey is a second-time-blogyle-entry-subject. Click here for the first post Jeremey was mentioned.

2009-03-01T08:17:00.001-08:00

(If you read other blogs I write for, you know I’ve used that title already. Oh well!)

I just spent the past few hours looking up/getting apps for my iPhone. I got like 11 new applications, ranging from Beer Pong to BubbleWrap BUT. This isn't a Beer Pong blog.......

YEAH!!!!

Specs:

1. Mobile book.

2. Supposed to be funny or according to the reviews: “HILARIOUS.” We'll see.

3. Only .99!! (the second app I’ve ever purchased. The first one being “Night Camera”...which is a really good application, it automatically adjusts your lens so that you take better pictures when the lighting sucks)

4. The thumbnail graphic is so, so cute!

Other things :

I had a dream that I was taking my aviation midterm. Nothing was really going on that was out of the ordinary except that the person next to me was taking the test in a full scuba suit. I felt mentally drained when I woke up. Tests are exhausting!

- Jessica.

Totally TIGHT!

Purple is SO in this (Lenten) season.

2009-02-25T08:03:00.001-08:00

Happy Ash Wednesday.

In preparation for the Lenten season, today, I am sporting a wonderful purple argyle sweater. I went to church this morning with Kenny and his friend Jessica D. Kids were cute, I like Mary Immaculate a lot. Sermon was short, got ash'ed.

Argyle things:

On Truman's website, they changed the picture by the login portal:

Underneath the login, wonderful blue, gray, and white argyle sweater.

Also, you can see by my tabs that I was on Facebook, Wikipedia's “Great Lent” page and the Truman site.

I’m giving up meat for Lent.

I’m also giving up other things that have been bad for me.

Valentine Argyle.

2009-02-17T12:16:00.000-08:00

Yikes, it's been over a month since I've posted. A lot has been going on and I've been keeping busy with a lot of different things (see: jessicaendaya.blogspot.com for a brief overview).

As far as argyle goes, I wore argyle on Valentine's Day. It was that blue argyle sweater vest that I got for Christmas. Interesting enough, a year ago on Valentine's Day, I also wore argyle. It was a pink and purple argyle number that I have.

That is the sweater I wore a year ago. This picture is NOT from a year ago, it is from last November. Something I like to do, mostly involving Xanga, is to look back at where I was a year ago and it never fails to amaze me how different things are since then. A year ago on V-Day, I had dinner at Manhattan with DVG, I had the Athenian panini. It was pretty good, as far as sandwiches go. I remember it was pretty crowded and we sat in the that middle aisle. I also remember laughing at a joke he had about "taking/learning something from every relationship he's been in." It made me laugh because from an ex-girlfriend he had, he learned what kerning/tracking was. And then I remember we went back to my apartment and I gave him a really big heart-shaped sugar cookie that I made for all of my friends earlier that day. And then we watched the new episode of LOST! It was a really nice Valentine's Day. This past Valentine's Day, I nursed a hang-over from one of the worst Friday nights of the semester, didn't get some phone calls returned, played Super Mario Bros. 3 w/ Abby, ate Chen's and had a few beers with Jimmy at the Dukum. All In Good Company (like that Topher Grace movie), it's just interesting how different the two situations are/were.

I don't even really talk to David anymore and it's not either of our faults, I guess. We just kind of grew apart, and I guess it didn't help that we kind of left on bad terms. We talk occasionally, but it's just sad that I invested so much in that friendship and at this present point, it's just a memory. But I don't regret any of it, and I think that's what I learned from being briefly with him, is that shit happens, stuff doesn't work out. I should stop dwelling on what could've/should've been said or done and to live in the present. And really, it's his loss (or anyone else in a vague sense) to not keep this friendship growing. It just kind of sucks when you realize how one-sided things are.

I don't really know where I'm going with this, so I guess I'll stop!

Oh, and Demetri Martin's new show is SO SO SO funny.

& LOST is getting pretty good.

- Jessica.

Loosen up my buttons, baby.

2009-01-14T22:40:00.000-08:00

Classes have begun and I’m already exhausted. I guess to be fair, I can’t really blame my classes. A lot has been going on. My Godfather has cancer and he recently just had surgery. I talked to my mom today and she says that he’s doing fine, but I still worry. Also, in two days, I have had too many fights and quarrels with people who are important to me and I think that I really need to evaluate myself. I’m not a good person, so I don’t know why I think I am. I feel really bad for things I’ve done and said and I am determined to fix everything. But I guess the first thing I need to do is fix myself, which is a lot easier said than done. I’m greedy, clingy, selfish and self-centered. I don’t know how people put up with it.

Cute buttons, huh?

You can stand under my umbrella...

2009-01-11T21:19:00.000-08:00

...ella, ella, eh, eh eh...under my (argyle) umbrella....

Found this wonderful find at Target in Coral Ridge Mall, located near Iowa City, Iowa.

Iowa?! What the heck was I doing there?! Well, Amber and I were there for a my friend and fellow viscompadre, Stephen Emlund (check out his site) -- he got hitched! Anyway, Iowa is pretty okay. There were a lot of tall, good-looking men there. I saw plenty of argyle sweaters at the food court, too.

Argyle CULTure

2009-01-03T20:58:00.000-08:00

For those NOT in the know, Russell Simmons is one of USA Today's “Top 25 Most Influential People of the Past 20 Years.” He is not only a hip-hop pioneer, but he is very inspiring in all aspects of the entertainment business and more importantly, the fashion industry.

He is an entrepreneur and along with Phat Farm and HBO’s Def Comedy Jam and Def Poetry Jam, Simmons has launched a new ground-breaking fashion line, Russell Simmons Argyle Culture. (Check out his site here) Additionally, here is a screenshot. From a designer's POV, I really enjoy the navigation of the site and I took a quick liking to the simplicity and the incorporation of argyle seen at the bottom of the page :

RSAC is mostly urban clothing for men and Elle recently showcased the Spring 2009’s Ready-To-Wear fashion runway show featuring RSAC. There are a ton of different types of argyle... here are some of my favorites boys, er..I mean, argyle pieces :

Totally diggin’ the crazy diamonds and bright blue shorts.

Actually, I recently purchased denim pants of the same color.

Not too sure about all the white going on--

it’s very... Morgan Freeman in Bruce Almighty-esque.

Can’t go wrong with purple!

A bit of khaki-overkill, but the socks are kinda cute.

For those who don’t know me very well, I am all about bright colors, so the pieces that Russell Simmons put out intrigued me. I’m not really a fan of the white tennis shoes, but I enjoy the stark difference it makes in comparison to the crazy-out-there-shades of color. My favorite ensemble would probably be the last picture. Though some people may argue that the sweater vest contains just diamonds and not necessarily an argyle-pattern, I like the checkered, salmon-colored button-up and the gray shorts to compliment the sweater vest. I’m not big into accessories on men, but I mean, this guy is obviously TD&H, so who’s complaining? Not me.

Breaking a mental sweat.

2008-12-30T18:04:00.000-08:00

Today, I ran errands with my mother. Look what I found!

Word reference never looked so good...

Remember the reason for the season : ARGYLE!

2008-12-26T19:43:00.001-08:00

I hope that this entry finds everyone doing well and that your Christmases were splendid. This Christmas, my family and I went to Branson, Missouri. If you’ve never been to Branson, think of it like Vegas...minus the casinos and add more country. Okay, so not like Vegas at all, but Branson has a lot of hokey entertainment and a lot of corny lights. Basically, it’s just a great place for a family vacation. My fam and I go almost every summer. Unfortunately on Christmas, there weren’t very many shows showing...I really wanted to see the new Neil Sedaka musical, Breaking Up Is Hard To Do, a musical based on all of his songs, but alas, they were on break for the holidays. I thought that at least Andy Williams would be there, but his last Christmas show was on the 13th. Christmas was nice. We attended midnight mass in Branson and the entertainment was pretty good (I mean, I would expect so since we were in BRANSON).

In argyle news, I got two argyle vests for Christmas. I saw a lot of argyle at midnight mass. On Christmas day, we watched Adam Sandler's new movie, Bedtime Stories at the IMAX theatre. I always enjoy watching movies at the IMAX theatre. Also...I saw a lot of argyle sweaters. It was a nice surprise when my own sister, Jill, came out sporting an argyle sweater she purchased from Macy’s. Now Jill has always made me proud, but a tear came to my eye when I saw her wearing this sweater :

Again, this was taken at the IMAX theatre. I am not wearing argyle, but I do endorse other patterns, especially plaid. And ESPECIALLY purple (anything). I hear that purple is very “in” this season. It is also a vest, for which I am also a fan.

Last entry, I promised a picture of my fam and I wearing blue, so here you go. I wanted to wear my new argyle vest, but I forgot it in Blue Springs (aw).

In order from L to R : Ness, Jilly, Me, Jessamine, Mom & Dad.

So here you have it, folks. Consider yourself updated.

I Shop, Therefore I Drop.

2008-12-21T19:31:00.000-08:00

Lesson learned : do not put off Christmas shopping for your family. I had to do ALL of my shopping today because we are leaving for Branson (!) tomorrow. Sunday started off like every Sunday in Blue Springs...we went to church. It was pretty crowded, I'm not all that surprised, being Advent season and all. After that, the fam had breakfast together and then Ness and I headed out to shop. We went to the plaza, Barnes & Noble, the mall, Target, the mall again...totaling almost seven hours of shopping.

I. Am. Exhausted.

Went home, wrapped everything and now the gifts are peacefully under the tree. Whew.

I bought two things for myself while shopping. I got a striped vest from Wet Seal ($10!) and an argyle vest from New York & Company (NY&C is having a 50% of store wide sale. Check it out!) My new vest looks like this :

Cute, huh?

Every year, my family picks a color and we all wear variations of outfits in that color for Christmas. Last year, we wore purple and this year we are wearing royal blue. (Past colors include : red, green, gold, pink) I would like to wear this sweater vest, but I don't think it will match very well. I will post pictures of Christmas with the Endayas next time, so get excited!

If I don't update before then, I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas.

No Butts About It

2008-12-15T11:06:00.000-08:00

Hey, the semester is over! Last week was finals week and I was finished by Tuesday, so since then, I've just been sitting around doing nothing. I have plans, though. Like, I want to do a big watercolor piece, some collage-ing, work on Professor Pauls' website and just chillax. I'm going to be in Kirksville until Friday...I may leave on Friday eve or Saturday morning, depends on how much packing I get done. On Monday, the fam and I are headed down under (Branson). I'm pretty stoked! We've never been down there for Christmas because it's hard to get something booked. Andy Williams, here we come!

Let's see, what else... I'm almost through with Season 4 of LOST. I mean, I've already seen it, but I need a refresher before January 21st. Season Premier, man! Joyce and Ashley are leaving today, so that's a bummer. But maybe some of my other friends will stick around awhile longer (HINT HINT). I miss Anthony, I can't wait for our weekly dinners in the new year. Sitting at the Help Desk is bor-ing, but at least I'm with Ben.

Before Greg has a mild freak-out, I'll talk about argyle for a bit. I mean, this IS supposed to be "All Argyle, All the Time." So as the holidays approach us and you are looking for something to wear for Christmas Day, or Midnight Mass, or that hot New Year's Eve party, consider argyle! It's fun, yet trendy, it can come in sweater OR sweatervest form and everyone looks pretty cute in it! There are a variety of colors to choose from and you can wear it with almost anything! However, here is something you should steer away from :

Almost as bad as pirate argyle! Okay, maybe they're tied.

I see the light.

2008-12-08T13:41:00.000-08:00

Anthony passed this link along to me. This is located in North Carolina, also, this is my second post about North Carolina. Maybe I should move there. CHECK IT OUT!

Jimmy!

2008-12-02T18:17:00.000-08:00

One of my best friends, Jimmy, wore argyle today!

I saw him at the gallery opening this evening lookin' fly.

Sorry it's blurry!

Happy Blogsgiving!

2008-11-29T06:54:00.000-08:00

I know, I know. It’s been awhile. And for that, I extend my apologies to my Blogyle fans (all three of you, give or take a few). Compared to my last post, this post will be more “local.” The last week of school before I left for Thanksgiving break, I saw a TON of argyle-inspired things! But only took a few pictures, yikes. Here they are for your viewing pleasure :

This is my friend and fellow BOB, Courtney King. Not only is she super trendy, but she is also very creative, loves a good crafternoon and has a wonderful spirit about her. Here she is, sporting argyle socks! This picture was taken during a BOB event.

This is Anthony’s lady-friend (and my new friend!), Erin. She’s keeping warm this winter with a wonderful scarf, reminiscent of the diamond-pattern we all know and love. This was taken after Truman’s production of A Mid-Summer Night’s Dream. The play was good, I’m not really that into Shakespeare, though. I went with Kenny, and it was a good time per usual. Oh! I guess I should mention there was a mudpit and topless boys.

This last picture is taken in Kirksville own town-square, as I was driving to Hy-Vee. I had my eye on this wall for quite some time, and since I was the only one on the road, I stopped mid-destination and took a quick pic. This is on the side of Hidden Treasures, a second-hand-type store. There are great finds (hence the name) but even greater is side-wall with diamonds, again, like argyle! Thank you, Kirksville.

Great news came to me via telephone call yesterday, during Black Friday. Greg (see posts below for photo reference) bought two, not ONE, TWO argyle sweaters on his shopping-spree. I was beyond thrilled and can not wait to see these in person and to blog about it. Greg makes my argyle world go ‘round.

Basketblogyle.

2008-11-19T13:11:00.000-08:00

Last night, I was on the phone with my buddy Kenny, and he mentioned that he was watching sports (Kenny is a jock and LOVES sports) when he noticed that the University of North Carolina's basketball team had argyle running down the sides of their basketball uniforms. After some research today, I've decided to talk about basketball and argyle. Apparently, in 2000 was when argyle first appeared on the UNC basketball uniforms, I don’t think this is accurate information, though, because I found this picture of MJ from awhile ago and the uniform definitely had argyle in it :

I used to watch some b-ball (like that?) back in the day & Michael was definitely my favorite. Others that I enjoyed watching : Reggie Miller, Penny Hardaway and definitely NOT Karl Malone. But this is about argyle, I wouldn’t want to steer away from that otherwise Greg will give me shit about this later on his radio show. So anyway, I researched more pictures of UNC + argyle.

Thanks to MORE research, I found out that Shaw University ALSO has argyle on their uniforms. I still enjoy watching basketball, but this match-up would be extra great for the following reasons :

1. Tall boys running around.

2. ARGYLE!!!!!!!

I also found this sweet picture of different argyle. Take a looksie:

BOBgyle.

2008-11-16T15:40:00.000-08:00

This weekend was BOB-filled. & argyle filled! On Friday, BOB hosted “Now That's What I Call Prom 16!” : a benefit dance party for our philanthropic cause, Victim Support Services. The turnout was good, the music was form NOW CDs and this guy wore argyle!

I think his name is Daniel, I don’t know him or anything, I just enjoy argyle.

The next evening was our BOB Formal dinner. Kenny was my date and it was a lot of fun. The dinner was splendid, the awards were funny, and the alumni were pleasant. After dinner, we went to DQ and then the Dukum, where I saw some of my favorite Lambda Chis (pictures posted on FB). Erik and Jeremey wore argyle and they looked very handsome, of course they paled in comparison to my date, but argyle is argyle and I love it all the same.

Here is a really nice picture that Erik took during the cocktail party :

Jeremey, Erik, Kenny and me, amidst great fashion.

Also, on Friday afternoon, I was on the radio! Greg introduced me as the author of Blogyle (duh). I didn’t really say much, but my parting words were “Argyle rules! And so do I!”

Meet Me In St. Louis.

So. AIGA went on a mini-vacay to St. Louis this past weekend. We left on Wednesday evening and arrived back to the ‘ville Friday eve. It was fun! And of course I documented it via iPhone, paying special attention to a certain diamond pattern that I am very fond of. There are more details about the trip on my other blog, because this one is “all argyle, all the time!” and you know how I like to keep things organized (not so much).

This picture is from the second day in STL. Here I am with my viscompadres, Josh Cook and Patrick Jones. I am sporting an argyle sweater vest from the GAP. I look like a freak, but these two look really nice, SO PROFESSIONAL!

I wasn't the only one sporting an argyle vest that wonderful Friday afternoon! I don’t know who that cute asian guy was, but he was totally reppin’ the argyle and totally making it look go-od. Notice the squared-toe shoes, I dig it.

(edit) Joe posted pictures he took and this one makes it SO obvious I was checking out that guy’s argyle. Haha, I’m a freak.

While in STL, some of the girls and I explored South County Mall (I think) and we went to Forever 21. There were a lot of argyle sweaters, but none that I wanted to splurge on. Instead, I got an orange vest.

Shout out.

It has been brought to my attention that my last post failed to mention that I watched HSM3 with one of my besties, Kenny Keefer. Though, I will throw it out there that I had a pretty amazing time, I’m glad I had already seen it. Let’s just say Kenny is “chatty.”

Also, Ashley. To address your question/comment : I believe that the argyle sweater vests are somewhat similar, and may be the same brand, but it’s hard to tell since Lucas is sitting.

In argyle news, in the new issue of Details magazine, there was a wonderful 3-page spread for the GAP featuring argyle! I’m sure the campaign is shown in other magazines, but it definitely caught my eye. I’ve taken the liberty to search for you so all you have to do is click this link, and it should take you to the results for “argyle” when you search the GAP. Here is an example from the site:

Argylogies.

I just wanted to extend an apology, especially to Nathan, for misquoting him on the JT argyle spotting. Nathan was nice enough to refer me to the correct picture of JT's golf argyle picture. And even though it is not 100% argyle, I still am pretty into it. Take a looksie:

Pretty nice, eh?

Also, I saw HSM3 (again) tonight, and I forgot to mention it last time, but there was a great amount of argyle in that movie. They were mostly sweaters and mostly worn by Lucas Grabeel. I could not find a picture on google, so I went to YouTube and took a screen shot from the trailer. The flick is pretty fun, and if you like argyle, there is plenty of eye-candy.

Argyle + Literotica.

So Sunday evening, I was sitting in the SUB down under (SUB = Student Union Building; down under = bottom floor) and we notice that there are these boxes stacked up next to the student organization mailboxes. Immediately, I observe that the pattern on the boxes were very reminiscent of argyle. Joyce comments that it's just one line of diamonds away from being a credible argyle pattern. I take out my iPhone and take a quick pic and ask Sam and Maddy to join Joyce for this photo op. Maddy looks inside the boxes and we found a bunch of these :

Like. These boxes were FILLED with these.

R I D I C U L O U S .

Argyle boxes = erotic literature? Who would've thought?

Argyle is the new blog.

My first day of Blogyling was successful. Also, I would like to point out that these past few pictures are all from the same day. So don’t go around saying I’m an outfit repeater, because I will not have any of that. The reason I wore argyle that particular day anyway, was because Greg and I planned on matching for our fake date evening.

This is Greg. I know that he’s sensitive about having his name and picture up on the interwebz. Deal with it, Greg! If you’re friends with me, you have to accept the fact that I am always bloggin’. Here are some fun facts about Greg : he loves Jay-Z, quoting pop culture, hanging out with me and he will be naming his first daughter: America (after the country, not Ugly Betty).

The next order of business will be talking about one of my all-time favorite street names :

I took this picture this summer, when I was living in Los Angeles and working for Leah. I don’t really have anything significant to say about this street, except that the name RULES and that I used it once when I was playing Scattergories and the game called for a street name starting with an “A.” Which, about that particular game, Kenny (bestie) and I pwned.

Horrible example of argyle.

Thanks to my new friend, GregG, I now know what BAD argyle looks like.

1. I hate pirates.

2. Argyle should NOT be on a t-shirt.

Argyle + Blog = Blogyle.

This is Nathan Jeffords, a new friend of mine. He is a fellow viscomrad and is in my illustration class this semester. We found out about our shared love for argyle a few weeks ago, a Wednesday, I believe. He was wearing that particular argyle sweater and I approached him, very interested in his style choice. He then proceeded to show me his argyle socks (props) and he told me about how Justin Timberlake recently was playing golf while sporting an argyle sweater. Thanks to google, I found the image Nathan was speaking of:

I mean, I've seen better argyle, but it was a nice attempt, JT.

Later today, I saw Ben Sells! And he was definitely sporting the argyle. Don't we look cute?

Oh, and a shout out to my main man, Zach Paule for giving me the idea for the name of this blog, Blogyle.
