the definition of jiggy so you best to recognize

at the mall, i'm baggin up, much more than gear

victoria, be whisperin mad secrets in my ear

she wanted me to knock her in the back of foot locker

i chuckled as she kicked more game than soccer

others try to copy, i see em when they mock me

baseball cap bent, the fresh scent is issey miyake

-gangstarr, the mall-



welcome to the first centennial james and jon shoe off. having each bought two pairs of fantabolouso shoes, we now need an answer to "which set of two pair are the best?" so we come to you, our dear and fashionable friends, to settle the issue. keep in mind that it's nothing personal (or if it is, well, screw you) and no feelings will be hurt if you diss one of us. remember that you may only vote once and each vote could be crucial in determining the fate of one mexican burrito.



we love you all. shoe off 2003, it's on.



note: this email was sent to our panel of seven distinguished judges. so even though they are the arbiters of fashion in this particular competition, you the public can also make an important contribution to our shoe esteem. all proceeds are donated to feed the hungry.

SET TWO -- link and link



and the winner is: in a landslide four to none vote, with three judges having not yet even voted, set two - aka my set - won in the official tally. despite the public voting overwhelming in favor of james' shoes, i am the big winner! me! me! me! ok, i'll stop now. remember, there are two "r"s in burrito. never forget that. peace.
