Taking a page straight from the Marvel Team-Up comics, Marvel and Tokidoki will be joining forces for an apparel collection coming out on February 25th.
I started to lose some faith in Tokidoki when I heard about the crossover with the Black Eyed Peas (ugh!), but he’s redeemed himself. This line looks fresh to death.
The only thing hotter than a geeky chick is a geeky chick with a fun fashion sense. This Nintendo Game Boy Dress by Amber from Sew-Oeno (that’s her posing in the above pic) goes for $60 and Amber will even make one in your size if you contact her.

Although I don’t wear fitteds (they make my head look funnier than usual), I can appreciate a good-looking fitted when I see it. These Star Wars fitteds are good, but not in a people-should-totally-wear-these sort of way, more of a these-would-look-good-sitting-on-a-shelf-or-something sort of way.
The Chewie one’s just ridiculous.
Thanks to SharpSHOEter for tweeting this towards my general direction.
Go check out Tokidoki’s holiday collection over at Tokidoki.it and get a free limited edition Bastardino tree charm (only 200 available) for any order over $75!
For those who don’t know, Tokidoki is the brainchild of Italian illustrator Simone Legno. The Tokidoki brand spans across the realms of fashion, toys, stationary, and art.
It also gets bitches wet and could possibly get you laid.
One of the best parts about running a blog that covers everything from videogames, gadgets, and toys to art and fashion is never quite knowing what to expect in my in-box each day.
One of the coolest reader-submitted emails to come at me in some time comes from Jason Little, a photographer and regular Albotas.com reader (not to be confused with this photographer by the name of Jason Little, who’s probably never even heard of Albotas).
Jason, along with his good friend and fellow photographer Anthony aka Tony Rysk, recently did a shoot combining two of my favorite things in the world: shoes and women.
Damn that’s a lot of shoes.
I shot Jason an email asking where all those freaking shoes came from. This is his reply:
Hahaha those shoes are actually my friend Anthony’s. We both did the shoot together, he does photography too an we always work on ideas an ish together. He has around 150 pairs of shoes, which equals 300 shoes, after the shoot was over the horrible task of actually pairing them back up an putting them in the boxes occurred hahaha. Anthony can be seen in the sneaker god picture [above]. The girl in the pictures is Michelle Mystique Lukmani, she’s a dancer/model from Miami, she was down here kicking it and loves my work so me an Anthony decided why not combine her with his ginormous shoe collection, an that’s how the magic happened.
You can check out more Jason Little photography on his DeviantArt or DAPortfolio page. You can also check out Tony Rysk’s Deviant Art page right here.
Be sure to check out the gallery below for pics from the sneaker shoot as well as a sample of Jason’s other works.
If you’re an aspiring artist, game designer, toy customizer, or wannabe so-and-so of any kind, feel free to hit me up at brownkidd@albotas.com and if you don’t suck, I’ll feature you on the site!

Albotas has featured allkindsofcrazyLegostuff before, but this is probably the most bizarre in recent memory. French fashion designer JC de Castelbajac has covered New Era fitted caps with Lego pieces.
You’ve gotta’ wonder, were these design just made to be playful accessories for a runway show to compliment the designer’s latest collection, or is he really expecting people to wear this shit?
Show of hands, who would actually rock the Lego fitted look in public? Let me know in the comments.
Legendary French female street artist Fafi has teamed up with Adidas to create a limited edition collection of ladies sneakers. Fafi is best known for her canvas work and handpainted graffiti featuring sexy girls in cute outfits. It’s nice to see that she’s been breaking out into the fashion world a little more lately.
First up is the Stan Smith shoe featuring some Fafi doodles. This one goes for $105.
Next up is The Sneeker featuring Fafi’s featuring the only male character in the Fafi universe, Hmilo. I’m not quite sure what he is. He’s just sort of a seal/blob thing. These kicks go for $105.
These are the Honey Lows. White, simple, and clean. This pair features an embossed pattern of Fafi’s signature and they run for $95.
These Honey Mids are my personal favorites. Ladies, if you rock these, you automatically get +100 sexy points. It’s just a sketchy little comic across the whole shoe, and it’s way cute. This pair goes for $95.
Okay, I know I sad that last pair was my favorite, but the more I look at these Superskates, the more I start to change my mind. They just have this whole attitude about them. +10,000 sexy points. $105.
If any ladies out there are interested, you can pick up these highly limited shoes from the Bombing Science store.
Although this site is usually filled with all sorts of nerdy things like posts about movies, video games, and comics, some of my favorite sites on the internet cover none of those things. Some of my absolute favorite sites are Last Night’s Party, HighSnobiety, and Hipster Runoff, but my absolute favorite of favorites would have to be LOOKBOOK.nu. Maybe it’s I consider myself somewhat of a fashionable guy or something. Idunno, maybe I just like fashion photography. Or maybe I just like pictures of fashionable ladies
Whatever.
So anyway, today when I went on, I saw this girl and my heart nearly exploded. I’m not normally one for blondes, but all a chick really needs is a cute smile and a cute outfit and I’m sold. Plus, she’s Swedish, so she probably has an adorable accent.
Have you ever gone to vacation some place, only to get to the hotel and realize that you forgot to pack a swimsuit, then you have to get a crappy pair that doesn’t fit right from the hotel gift shop? Thanks to Quicksilver’s swimsuit vending machines, that will never happen again — as long as the hotel you’re staying at happens to be The Standard in either L.A., Hollywood, New York, or Miami.

Okay, so it’s not really graffiti, but any excuse to post chicks in bikinis is a good one, right?
Graffini is actually a high-end swimsuit line where designers rip off take pictures of street art and then apply it to the bikinis so that they can charge $140 – $180 for each suit. I’m trying to be all pissed off about this, but I keep looking at the chick in the picture above. What was I talking about?
