Eiffel penis

This is the view from the Eiffel Tower last Friday. The question is was it tourists or Parisians? My money's on the French.

Eiffel Tower: The Big Phallic Lie

Happy man, Big historic tower, what's wrong with this picture? The damn thing is brown, tan to be precise. Where is the big black tower that I've been envisioning all these years. The Eiffel Tower is dead to me now. Notice the smile on my face, I'm in denial at this point.
This picture was taken later in the day, notice how the tower appears black. At this point I've moved on to anger.
Here i am at the Palais De Tokyo while the tower mocks me in the background. At this point in in the paranoid stage.
Stupid tan monument.

Paris Shoes

Those of you that know me knew this post was coming. There are a lot of great shoe shops in Paris but apparently we were there to see other, older things but i did manage to make it to a few shops.I ended up getting this pair of Pro Lawn Adidas. This is part of the European graffiti artist collection end to end. My shoes were done by UK artist SKORE. Black and Brown, lasered piece on the side and the same design on the footbed and as you can see, the laces are also done.
Nike Paris was something else. They have a Nike ID studio on the bottom floor. After almost getting a pair of Air Max 360s from the kite series i opted for a sweet Nike Paris Cap.
G! loved Nike Paris so much she insisted we have a cup of coffee at the cafe next door so she could bask in its glory.
We also hit Adidas in Paris, according to a sign at the store, it is the largest Adidas store in the world. I somehow stumbled across Opium without even trying. They had an amazing collection of OG Jordans. We were also able to find Colette which was an amazing store. It is mainly a clothing boutique that skew "street" but they had a nice selection of hard to find shoes including the new European version of the talaria from Nike.
