But these are Pradas!@?

It's kind of weird that I went to an asian grocery market to do my grocery shopping. At times like these I think, I'm having an identity crisis. I even bought korean food... Even my brother was like "Wow, you went to the asian market and bought korean food? I'm proud.". Surely, I only realized what I had done when he told me that.

I was expecting a call today, though I never got it. Things that makes you go hmmmm.

Having some flash backs from Saturday night, I remember the bouncer at Aguardente giving me shit because I was on my Nike. I usually wear black shoes because of shit like this in DC. I't not like I'm wearing jerseys, shorts and trainers. I'm wearing a long sleeved cashmere shirt, non baggy jeans with a "boot cut", and trainers. Granted was not dressed to kill, but I'm sure I didn't look like a bum. I couldn't even use the "But these are Pradas!" line, because my trainers had this big Nike symbol on it. I'm actually carrying dress shoes in the car, for instances like this, and also because I dance alot when I go out, so I rather have comfortable shoes. But I started to bust out my Brazilian way, and got in. I said I had a table at the VIP, and he is going to give me shit about my shoes, well then let me close my tab at the VIP and get the fuck out of here. Which of course, it worked. hahaha That was double hit in one. First it placed the blame on him, for making me close my tab at VIP, and second, he HAD to let me in to close the tab and the credit card back. He can't deny someone of getting their credit card back. HAHA

Anyways, back to the subject. Most of times, if the brand is not showing, you can use the "But these are Pradas!" line to get you in. I learned it from Jevgenijs back in the days when he used to wear Prada trainers. HAHAHA. I even got Alan past the shoes check when I discreetly told him to claim they were Pradas at the Club Fur line. Though he was too shy to claim such a things, so I had to say it for him. "Hey, these are not regular trainers, these are Pradas!". Ok, I don't really know why they would let him in with Prada trainers but not Nike, because yes, although one costs about twice the price, they are still trainers, so they shouldn't descriminate on their "no sportswear" policy. Also, what is the big deal? It's not like someone can't afford a Prada, I think a Prada costs 2.5X ($290) of a cost of a Nike. It's not like it's a freaking $500 item.

Well anyways, I'm tired of this crap, so I'm going to buy myself a Prada, so I don't have the need to carry spare dress shoes in the car, nor have to go back to my car while drunk to get them. What you guys think of the Prada below?

Well can't sleep so I'm going to hit gym again.

Behave kids.

PS: Eda sent me a couple of e-mails regarding the "cultural" scene in DC. There are series of classical music concerts throught many different embassies, or art exposition or culinary events. So if anyone is interested as well, let me know and I will forward it.

But these are Pradas!?
