Fashion Maketh the Drug Dealer

Good evening everyone, and welcome back to my blog. It's great to be back after a bit of an absence. I am still giving my wonderful tips on "The Fine Print: We're Calling B.S." on BlogTalkRadio. But as I stated before, I will continue to share those tips right here with you in print on my personal blog.

Tonight's show is on the drug trade. It sounds like a topic I should not be giving style tips on, but even drug dealers run a business. And in business you have to look it to be it! That's what brings me here tonight. I am here to share my best style advice to those of you "in the game." Let's get started.

First thing's first, the jeans. You can't be a good street corner pharmacists without making sure you have jeans that are stylish, expensive, and comfortable enough to outrun and duck the 5-0. You want a jean that is loose fit because it is made that way, not because you bought it 6 sizes too large. Stop by your local department store and visit the Levi's section. This American classic is made for running, jumping, swimming, looking good, and anything else you can put a pair of jeans through. They are built to last ... which is why Levi's has remained an American staple for so long. And boys, sagging is out. It's another hazard in your way from getting away. Buy jeans that are low rise, and they'll sit just low enough to keep you out of the prisoner look.

And that brings me to underwear gentlemen. Boxers are out. Who wears those anymore under their clothes? Boxer briefs are your friend. You'll need the support when trying to hurdle fences. Andrew Christian makes some very supportive underwear. That package is more important than anything you are trying to sell so take care of it.

And finally, every dealer's favorite topic ... jewelry. Men I say go big or go home. But I would add if you go big, go real. Fake is easier to pull off in small doses. The larger you want your bling to be, the more you had better spend on it. I would never buy my drugs from a man wearing a large medallion with cubic zirconium stones. If he looks cheap, I'm sure his product is cheap too, and I only do the best. This is why I recommend TraxNYC. This company is headquartered in NYC in the Diamond District. They have a special line of hip hop jewelry. Artists like Ludacris, Drake, Akon and B.O.B. have purchased from this brand. Look them up, they have everything a dealer needs to show the world he's making paper.

And those are my tips for tonight. Success in any business is all about how you look. You speak for the product until someone actually buys it. Take a look at yourself right now, would you buy your product not knowing whether it's good or not simply by looking at you? If not, then head to the store right now and change up your wardrobe before hitting the streets tonight. Just remember that the more you look like a prisoner, the easier you are to spot to end up there.

I am glad to be back, and I'm sorry I couldn't handle the Rod Daily episode. My future husband is just going to have to wait a little longer to meet me. Thanks to Bryan, I at least have a standing date in the future. You're a nice guy ... no matter what Seterria and I say behind your back.

I'm gonna go have a drink now. Here's to style. Cheers!
