Bunny Hopper

I found this on a blog that I frequently check out. I figured that anything that I can't do to save my life, is pretty cool. Nigel Sylvester; the "BMXer" is amazing and daring..I couldn't X out of the screen. I'll leave it up to you though....Enjoy............(Christopher Colas)

Runaway Love

I don't know why...But I do. Why what right? I can't figure out why Kanye West features Justin Bieber on one of his latest tracks. The result? Excellence. The catchy beat, Bieber's chorus, Raekwon's verse and Kanye's fun lyrics make a sound we can call....music. The song somehow reconnects me to the 90's. Either way Kanye's Album (Good Ass Job) is one of the most acclaimed this year. If the other songs are as good as this track...well....let's just say the album won't be an illegal download...Enjoy............(Christopher Colas)

Michael Stevenson

Tyga is one of the biggest names in new and upcoming rap. In my opinion, he is one of Young Money's best rappers. Tyga is originally from Compton, California. Of course we know of Compton providing us with great artists such as N.W.A. and the Game. But now we can add Tyga to that list.
Despite that, he breaks the "Compton Stereotype" of rapping like them. Still a little raunchy at times, he raps more about having fun and his party life. Check it out for yourself. Here's G- Shit featuring Chris Brown. Enjoy.. (Leon)

A Day in Burlington

Becoming a college student has been a very different experience for me. Moving from New York to Vermont is something I would have never imagined. I'm here to stay for 4 years. A couple miles from school lies a small urban town called Burlington. There're tons of small sneaker shops, poster boutiques, and cafes all throughout Burlington. Last night I actually had Thai Food in that small urban niche. Heres a day the Backpack Boys are caught relaxing and enjoying burlington. Enjoy........(Christopher Colas)








Fall styles

Okay, fall is upon us, and school as well. Now September is a great month in terms of weather, you have your hot days and your slightly cooler days, so its okay to go short-sleeve, just be ready when the weather suddenly changes!
For example, I wear a hoodie vest on particularly cool days, or at night when its cooler.
Here I am, with an H&M hoodie vest, Jimmi Hendrix shirt, Levis skinnies, my Green G-Shock, and Nike Airmax 24-7s
But what about when you need a little bit more warmth? Well...how about a jeans jacket? Jeans jackets are coming back in style, and you can find em in many colors, and dont worry about matching them to your jeans, its not aways necessary!


Here I am wearing a white jeans jacket, an LRG V-neck tee, Levi's skinnies, and Supra Skytops. It was a little chilly out today, so I was happy that I dressed warmer than usual.

And when it starts hitting mid fall and winter stars creeping up, dont always go for the thick winter jacket, layer and wear a scarf, believe me, its much more comfortable.
Here's Chris, with a thick cardigan and a scarf, great mid fall attire, to keep you warm and fresh. As the seasons progress, so must your style..........(Matt Farmer)......

Shredded

Who says fashion is all put together??
This is me in a mens flannel shirt. In realization to the end of Summer, the shirt has the sleeves cut off and asymmetrical slits in the back. The shirt is a heavy material making it a contradiction to itself. (Heavy material-time for winter. Cut offs and slits-Summers not over yet!!)
Make fashion your own. :)

Brian "Ricky" Tan

One of the most important things at college is simply meeting people. Meet Brian Tan, the newest Backpack Boy. Call him Ricky Tan. He lives in the same hall as me but on the third floor. Joyce Hall!!! Ricky is from Jersey and is into style, skateboarding, and old skool hip-hop. But here's Ricky.....(Leon)
