Comments Off on Tom DeLonge And MacBeth Shoes: Securing A Place In History
Blink-182 is on their highly anticipated reunion tour, with 50 U.S. dates set up.
Guitarist Tom DeLonge plays the role of multi-tasker, also having a side musical project, Angels and Airwaves, and a shoe company, MacBeth, which features trendy vegan shoes for both men and women.
“We just released a shoe from Mike Dirnt of Green Day, we having stuff coming up from Davey Havok of AFI, Frankie from My Chemical Romance, a special shoe from Muse and a lot of rad stuff,” DeLonge said. “It has taken a few years for people to realize Macbeth is a really good shoe company, and we are trying to work with the coolest bands possible. The shoes are awesome, and I think people are finally catching on, and it is doing better than it has ever done. We are securing a place in shoe history.”
Macbeth’s first shoe, The Eliot, was launched in 2002.
The September Issue chronicling Vogue‘s biggest edition of all time-September 2007-is now playing in select theatres.
The October 2008 issue featured an anti-fur activist’s nightmare and fur loving Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour‘s dream come true.
The concept “Women as Goats,” looked even sillier than it sounds as it featured women on top mountains looking “wild” with furs in Mongolian goat, coyote, Tibetan lamb and fox.
Didn’t know goats were so catty and competitive as it looks as if one goat is trying to steal the other goat’s shoe.
Don’t forget the vegan shoes to go with the look.
Yes, one of the models wears Stella McCartney platform Mary Janes.
Wonder if vegetarian Stella saw this and got as fumed as she did when a Hockley model wore one of her bras with a fur coat?

Alanis decided to share this information to help others based on her own bad relationships with food.
If you recall, Alanis changed her eating and lifestyle about a year ago when she picked up a copy of Dr. Joel Fuhrman‘s Eat To Live, which outlines a vegan diet as the way to go.
“I don’t believe in diets; I think they’re short-term and a bit of an emotional roller-coaster,” Alanis had told Ok! magazine. “So I opened it and flipped through and thought the weight loss is incidental. The primary focus is disease prevention.”
Gotta admire PETA for their creative ways to display naked people.
Dancing with the StarsKarina Smirnoff is starring is this anti-fur PSA with a strategically placed arm of her dancing partner.
What would Carrie Ann and Bruno say about the style?
“I did wear fur, especially when I was little,” Karina said. “But there are ways of being warm and being fashionable without being cruel.”
“You have a choice as an individual, you have a choice in the press, in the world, whether to make a statement that you do support killing animals or make a statement when you don’t. And you can still be as chic as you can possibly want to be.”
Chipotle restaurant held a contest to see what band could come up with the best ad.
The winners, a Denton, TX band named Oso Closo, won and now are $10,000 richer with a burrito in their name soon to be available.
Although the band sings of “steak, peppers and onions, black beans, cheese, sour cream, guacamole, roasted chili-corn salsa, and tomato red-chili salsa,” band mate Chris McQueen says that’s not necessarily what you have to get and recognizes the vegetarians who might like Chipotle.
“No one in the band is vegetarian, but I am fond of the veggie burrito, so I’ve already considered that. I feel fairly confident that your average Chipotle burrito-ista could handle an ‘Oso Closo, no steak.'”
