hybrid

its baller to drive a hybrid. i.e. LS 600H is so baller, its even good for the environment.

colour

colour is a baller way of spelling colour.

Baller Washer

Front load washers are baller. Although they haven't been used much in American homes, if you go to any cleaner or coin laundry, ALL the washers are front load. Why? They save water, are gentler on your favorite baller Versace tee, and clean better than a top-load. Samsung has recently released a front load washer, which baller enough, is even more baller because it is designed by famed Korean designer Andre Kim (not to be confused with Outkast's Andre2000, [who is also baller], He's not African-American, for those who need help.)



The pattern looks to be too LV-inspired (perhaps it's an Homage?) for this baller. Baller tip: No LV bags in your washing machine. They don't appreciate it. Like any good baller gear, a big baller Andre Kim grill smack dab in the middle. It's not a Slade or a Nav, but rollin in dirty clothes ain't baller.

Bacon Takes the High Road

...or shall I say, takes the high wire with the "bow" from Crucial Detail, which specializes in the development of sculptural utensils for haute cuisine and baller restaurants like Alinea in Chicago.

I initially hesitated in posting this, because it didn't strike me as baller in the conventional sense...it seemed too artsy. But then I thought, what's more extravagant than building a trapeze for your bacon? Perhaps if it performed a trick before its fateful destiny with my stomach, but the implication is baller!

$100,000 Soda Can

From time to time, we will try to post about products we encounter that, aside from being balla, are conceptually intriguing and even tasteful. This however, is not one of them. Sometimes the sheer novelty of being disgustingly extravagant can be amusing, if we temporarily suspend any sense of social responsibility. Nice marketing stunt though, Pepsi. By way of the $100 cheesesteak, Pepsi is promoting this $100,000 Super Bowl Edition Pepsi can, inspired by forty years of Super Bowl rings (and recent slumping sales) and crafted in sterling silver, while the inlaid rubies, diamonds and sapphires used to create the red-white-and-blue brand image of Pepsi simultaneously portray patriotism and profligacy.


If you're fantasizing about rocking this Pepsi can like a crunk cup while kickin it with P. Diddy in his Pepsi truck, it may behoove you to try your luck on the Pepsi contest site. Oh, and if the can wasn't already enough of an incentive, the winner also receives lifetime Super Bowl tix.

Do You Bling?

That's the question the folks at Bling H2O would like to ask you, because their exquisitely natural elixir is targeted at the "super-luxury market". The self-proclaimed "Cristal" of bottled water comes in corked 750ml frosted glass bottles adorned with handcrafted Swarovski crystals. This couture water made its rounds at the MTV video awards and found its way into celebrity goodie bags at the Emmy's. For those of you interested in the actual contents of the bottle, the luxury liquid undergoes a 9 step filtration process that includes ozone, ultraviolet and micro-filtration and won a gold medal award at the Berkely Springs International Water Tasting Festival.

Being Generous with Money

There is nothing more balla than being generous with your money. so J and I were choppin it up:

J: it's like, if someone came to us asking for money for their ministry, would we be willing to sacrifice the money that we wanted to spend on a plasma tv for that?
D: probably not
J: yeah

i'd like to think i would
D: that would be really balla

It's All About Ballin'

According to the Urban Dictionary Baller is defined as:

"A thug that has "made it" to the big time. Originally refered ball players that made it out of the streets to make millions as a pro ball player, but now is used to describe any thug that is living large."

This blog's genesis was when I was choppin' it up with my boy Jnyce, about how this or that is baller. We'll be posting about baller shizz that we run into.

to get this baller blog started right, peep this Dave Chappelle skit on ballin':
