RLX Bag Pt. 1: Now I REALLY Hate Curry

I know it’s pretty normal in the blogosphere for people to show off their FRESH new clothing & apparel but in this post I plan on doing the total opposite. I’m here to show you something not-so-fresh. Actually something that’s pretty wack.

Now Peep The Wack Sh*t:

LOOK AT MY BAG!!! :(

RLX Knapsack Turned WACKsack

Man… How wack is THIS photo? It’s an eye sore I tell you. This happened after leaving an all day shoot for my video “The Friends Zone” (which features Shitake Monkey). My homegirl & my former DJ (SynCity¹) & I shared a cab.

I had my black Ralph Lauren RLX duffle bag (which isn’t made anymore) [*not shown] & this RLX knapsack in the color I now call “was white”. My duffle bag contained some of the outfits I wore in the video (from my own closet not a stylists pull ‘n’ borrow) & my knapsack had my MacBook Pro, Sony camera & my external hardrive. I asked the cabbie² to pop the trunk.

*Note:

  1. I WAS about to point out that he was Indian just for relevance to the stains you see on my knapsack BUT… I guess you kind of figured that out being that I live NY.
  2. “Yes” that IS her real hair.

Q: Was that slightly racist of me to point out that the NY cabbie was Indian?

A: *shrugs*

So anyway, he pops the trunk, I didn’t see nor smell anything ‘fishy’ so in goes my bags. Maybe I should’ve concentrated my focus for the scent of curry & not fish. I arrive home in Harlem, hop out of the cab, grab my bags & head upstairs without noticing. The next thing I know, the following morning, I see this. I damn near passed out. rlx-bag

I’m going to try & clean this as Ralph discontinued making these knapsacks as well & I haven’t seen it on eBay since I purchased this. I will update you all on whether or not I restore the original freshness of that which is my Ralph Lauren RLX knapsack. Wish me luck friends! I think I’m going to need it. :(

Shouts:

  • Paloma Perez for pull ‘n’ borrowing some dope Polo pieces of my choice for “The Friends Zone” video shoot. You came thru in a clutch.
  • DJ SynCity. You owe me $6 punk!
  • Anonymous cab driver for allowing me another topic to add to my blog. Oh & you may potentially owe me about $195… Punk!

Q: Should I refer to the cabbie as “anonymous” if I clearly saw his face but can’t recall his name or plate number?
A: Probably not since he wasn’t necessarily ducking me. It’s my fault… Punk! :(

Post Script: Just so people won’t find this blog post contradicting – Paloma (the stylist for my video shoot) pulled about 6 different outfits from Polo’s All American & Saturday Evening Post collection per request. I brought about 3 outfits from my own Polo Naval Utility collection. Done!

  1. I had to laugh when I initially read this blog. It’s awful,
    but very amusing at the same time. Maybe it’s because I’m so tight
    with my money, but if that would have been me 88, I would have put
    that right in my lap. There isn’t anyway in the world, I would have
    left that in a cabbies trunk lol.

  2. I just saw two of these bags up on ebay… I didn’t get it ’cause I didn’t know you wanted one… ;)

  4. For once in your long ass (the stories) storytelling career you got the facts wrong babe! When you walked in the apartment and lovingly kissed your wife (that’s me) and gave her the flowers you bought her since you missed her so much (*smile*)… She looked down at your bag and said, “Honey what happened to your bag?!” You then looked down and said, “What the F&^%” and she said, “That looks like curry.” Remember before it turned orange it was bright YELLOW! Ok so continue on…

  5. Hey 88, i went to a john legend concert last month and we asked for a cab cuz we were drinking at the hotel, when he came to pick us up the driver had that weird accent, so i asked if he was indian cuz i tought it was an indian accent. After we got off my friend told me i looked totally racist!! I was like NO NO, i just asked cuz of the accent! lol, then the driver told me he was from zomalia or something, after we got off my friend told me i just needed to start making jokes about food to be arrested for racism!! I didnt notice at the moment but it became akward after he told me that.

    :D That was funny Spankee. Don’t worry about it though. As long as YOU know you’re not a racist & carry yourself as such, then you’re good in the ‘hood dude.
