Eponymous Japanese Man Handbag   Leave a comment

  In Japan it is not uncommon for men to wear women’s handbags. The fashion sense here is different in presentation and style. As Japan is a largely cash-oriented country, more people walking with wads of bills and coin purses. Large Wallets, man-bags (or in this case a hangbag) are the norm. I will admit, I own a questionable looking wallet myself, but here’s the catch: I bought it in Egypt 🙂

My cousin is performing artiste Beniton the Menace, and in 2008, I designed an album-style image for him on a whim. I had no idea that this would be the most profilic image of him on the internet. In fact, if you google “Beniton the Menace” n google images, its this picture that comes up first; an image I created while on vacation in New York. He told me that the image had surfaced on Kanye West`s blog because of a new single he and crooner Marvin Priest (Maxi Priest’s son) had made called “Who’s Gonna Smoke”. The song has received good airplay and got Beniton a featured in Fader Magazine online. The link to the image on Kanye’s blog is below. You can download the single for free here:
