    They look like some fucked up and1's. Good to see XXX taking design liberties on special orders... I know that's what I'd want him doing to mine.

      Good coffee/green tea through the nose line. It worked on me.

        Cut off in the fencing process. Happens all the time.

          I love that.
          "Nirvana", that is the fading of all the tensions, can also be called "death" - as some famous psychoanalyst said once.

          So, one of the tension in CCP's work would be between eros and thanatos. And should emphasize that the macabre effect is only a part of the tension, and not it's only end. I really like as well that you see eros as conflict, which is very true imo.

          Noticed recently, while some woman was trying CCP female pieces that the invisiseam/chainseam (or any kind of open seam) is as well based on a the tension between continuity and discontinuity. These seams are paradoxical, since they don't hide the gap, they show it. But not in a static, loose - and lazy - way, but in dynamic one, where the movements of the body, the skin and the muscles are involved. And I would say that's why I find the invisiseam more interesting than the chainseam, even though they achieve almost the same effect.

            also,not sure if carol wanted to experiment w/ my trainers because the latex dipped used is a dark navy almost topaz blue like only visible in bright light like under a flash. dont know if others have had the same treatment..
            I quite like the colors... but the dipping is more, thicker than usual, isn't it? (if you can say "usual" with CCP...)

                humm..not quite sure if i can say if the dip is thicker on some others a friend of mine has a pair original from 09 and it is somewhat thinner compared to mine..maybe they make adjustments to the mix over time..like melt another spare tire or two in the pot when the latex batch runs low.heh. the rubber on his black groils is s definately a brown tint, just curious if mine is the only dark blue tint..don't really know what goes on in the ccp factory, when they plan to switch the formulas...

                  The so called groil trainers are really hideous.

                          Henceforth they shall be known as groin trainers. They will be used by Hells Angels et consortes.

                                that's the Beauty of them
                                Being a Single Color and having a certain Grotesque quality that makes them interesting

                                if i had the money i would've bought them from Cuddly,
                                but I have too much other things to take care of now

                                i am not a fan of high end sneakers, I think for that kind of money, boots are always a better investment, but these are the one sneakers that i think are the exception...........
