1. Drape the bow tie around your neck and under your collar and grasp the ends, with the end on your right extending about 1.5 inches lower than the end on your left.
2. Cross the longer end over the shorter end. You should cross the tie near your neck so that the loop around your neck is just large enough to work with. You don’t want your bow dangling in front of your chest.
3. Pass the longer end up through the loop, forming a simple, loose overhand knot. Grasp the loose (dangling) end that is now on your right and fold the end back to form a loop that is pinched between your thumb and index finger. Essentially, you want to double the right side of the tie (which originates on the left side of your neck) over itself to make the loop.
4. Hold this loop, which will be the front loop of the completed tie, between your shirt’s collar points. Drop the left end of the tie (the one which you passed up through the loop and which originates on the right side of your neck) over the front of the bow.
5. Form a new loop with the left end, just as you did with the first one. While still holding the loop you just made, double the end over itself.
6. Position the new loop behind the front loop facing the opposite direction. Pinch the loops together with your thumb and push the second loop into the knot behind the front loop. The tip of your right index finger will be in position to push the end of this loop into the hole behind the front loop.
7. On one side, the loop will be on the front. On the other, it will be on the back Tighten the knot by pulling the two loops together, and straighten the bow tie. To loosen or untie the bow, pull on the tails

Hello World! How’s it going? We would like to thank everyone who has supported and shared the videos that we’ve been putting out for the past 3 weeks. We’ve received a lot of positive feedback and excellent collaboration opportunities from talent all over the map. We’re currently scheduled for the next 3-4 weeks, but soon as it clears up we will be hitting ya’ll back. The shot you see above is from the next set of video he shot last Friday. We’re on the promo grind for the rest of the week and will be releasing the new ones next week. For those of you still catching on, head on over to the Waffles and Beatz Youtube Channel and check out the art x music videos.  Do remember to rate, comment, subscribe and share. All schools of thought are welcome. A lot of you have been asking to see more beat videos and work-in-progress footage of myself & Spooks and we’ll definitely put those out in a couple of weeks. Also, I’m working on finalizing a deal regarding the t-shirts and will have them available online.  Until then, enjoy the video and please continue to share them with all your folks. Enjoy! 2 fingers! – - Dusty Loops

At Comic-Con 2010, cult icon Kevin Smith and etnies held a happy hour for hundreds of fans at San Diego’s Sé Hotel to launch the etnies x Kevin Smith “Clerks” Jameson 2. Designed with inspiration from Kevin’s famous film Clerks, etnies’ Jameson 2 is outfitted with the Clerks logo on the side heel panel of the shoe, matching etnies’ logo on the tongue and an iconic black and white photo of Jay & Silent Bob in front of the famous Quick Stop on the left and right footbeds. Visit etnies.com for additional info and pics, as well as a video recap of the event that is coming soon.

Disgusting! These are a MUST have! Soooo clean x simple x crisp x cult worthy. More pictures after the jump.

A staple model this Summer, Nike’s All-Court gets the vintage treatment with this latest release for the new season. The shoes pair the usual canvas upper with complimentary green canvas accents. Look for these now through finer Nike retail accounts, including DQM.

Soo crispy! These can ALMOST compete with the Stan Smiths.

This is inspiration.

Hello World! The Waffles & Beatz gang returns with their 6th visual and are hella proud to present “The Ghost of Wistopher Chrallace”. For those of you confused about the title, it’s just “spooksification” but you’ll catch on soon enough. We had a blast putting together this video and the record. Much thanks to Spahkz for providing the Caddy for the visuals. This video is special because this is the last time we’ll ever see that Cadillac. The engine just blew yesterday so, the “Caddy Beast” is officially gone. We send our condolences. Cameos by Magicfinnga Wong, Spahkz and Dusty Loops. Directed and edited by L.ment. The download link for the song is right below. Spread the wealth! Enjoy and have a great one. 2 fingers!

She will be serving a shorter sentence due to the overcrowded facility. FTW!

5:01 Overtime is symbolic of me no longer having to work a 9-5, and now being fortunate enough to be able to pursue my music full-time. Ironically enough on my last day of work I go into OVERTIME. -Laws

Summer 2010 welcomes a clean cut rendition of the classic adidas Forum Mid. The shoes come in a crispy white and blue, taking on leather uppers with the refined style one would expect from such an iconic silhouette. These are now available through select adidas retail accounts, including Overkill. Retail is set at approx. $129 USD.

Clean and beautiful. Their 2010 collection has been very impressive.

Late pass on the video. I’ve been too involved with the entire record itself. Possibly the greatest album out this year (so far).
