You know that song Buffalo Stance by Neneh Cherry? Me too. And I’ve listed to it a million times having no idea what a Buffalo Stance was — I just assumed it was some type of 90s dance move — when actually it’s a reference to a group of photographers, models, musicians, hair and makeup artists formed by stylist Ray Petri of whom Cherry was apart of.
For anyone not heading out to Governor’s Ball this weekend and hanging out in NYC, Dr. Martens is doing a cool event this Sunday evening with Love Hate Social Club, the tattoo artists from the reality TV show “NY Ink.”
Hey, hey! Greetings from Austin! I’m finally out of the never-ending snow of NYC and in Austin for the next few weeks. If you’re coming out for SXSW join me March 19th and 20th at the Dr. Martens house at Bar 96.
What could be more fun (or adorable) then Dr. Martens partnering with Cartoon Network’s beloved animation series Adventure Time? Nothing, that’s what! The cartoon that attracts adults and children alike inspired a range of three styles available in sizes for both. The three boots in the collection are the Finn Boot (White Smooth Leather + Synthetic PU), Jake Boot (Yellow Smooth Leather + Synthetic PU) and Multi Boot (Character T Canvas). Sizes available are Infant (5.5-9), Junior (10-2.5) and Adult (3-13). I got a sneak peek of the collection today before their official launch tomorrow and they are so cute (and the kids at the event were eating them up too!).

Do you remember Dr. Martens? Of course you do. You rocked a pair in High School or maybe your favorite history teacher did and you thought they we’re super cool. Few brands have that “I remember my first [pair of Dr. Martens]…” appeal and in recognition of this unique positioning, Dr. Martens has launched their #FIRSTANDFORVER Campaign. Running from their fall 2011 campaign through fall 2012, the campaign broadens it’s scope to not just your first pair of Dr. Martens (although they’d love to hear that story) but rather your first _____. That’s right, you fill in the blank. Whether it’s your first love or heartbreak, job or otherwise the brand is turning to social media to connect with their consumers to learn more about their ‘first’s’ and offer an outlet to share an opening statement of self-expression and creativity.
As I sat in a room with my fellow bloggers –lead by renouned bloggers/photographer Scott Schuman (The Sartorialist) and Garance Dore we shared our first. It was something out of a fictional kids slumber party –all that was missing was us stripping down to our underwear and having a pillow fight. We heard about one girls first (and last) beauty pageant – which after the
