On the webcam: Pharell and Nigo’s BBC Ice Cream Soho Store Opening
Posted by Miss Info under exclusives , for fashion-hounds and obsessive consumers[20] Comments
(pics from my homie Loic’s great BBC blog, make sure you check all the dope travel pics with Pharell and Nigo)
Billionaire Boys Club and Ice Cream just opened their first US store this week on West Broadway in Soho and….
I just got the word……
Tonite is the opening party, so come check it out in about 20 minutes with me and the missinfotv webcam : )
UPDATE:
Ok, onto the afterparty at the Bowery Hotel. Big up to my girl Wendy from Nitrolicious and Yu Ming from Freshnessmag for rolling with me…we had a lovely time with good friends: Loic, Pharell, Rob W, Icepick Jay, Phillip (all from Startraks); Toby, Nigo (Bape); Mike the Exec, big homie Funk Flex, Messiah; Qtip, Bevy Smith; DJ Drama; Dante Ross; Danica, Carl, Sam Ed, Ramos, Mimi, Jigsaw….and many more. Also Snoop, JD, and a bunch of vapid models were there, lol…
Here’s some pics (with help from Wendy), but check Nitrolicious and FreshnessMag for much more professional pics:
At the store, giving you guys a live webcam view:
(Nigo and friends. He has the illmatic 3 piece Saville Row bespoke suit on, with a huge heart shaped solitaire ice chunk in his ear. Silent stunna. The best kind)
(Everlast in his one of a kind, handmade Manuel cowboy shirt. Say what you will about the look. But in a world of clown-costume all-over-cartoon audigier streetwear ca-ca, I love that Everlast was rocking a shirt thats a piece of rock-n-roll history. He schooled me that Manuel is the original tailor who made shirts for Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan…he even handmade Elvis’ white rhinestone jumpsuit. Now that’s worth blogging about.)
(The Manuel tags include the shirt’s owner’s name too)
(Yu Ming, Wendy, Mike the Exec and friends)
(boss status, lol: Loic from BBC/IceCream, Toby from Bape)
(Phillip, Pharell’s road manager, rocks BBC…but…I had to admire the customized hood. Russian sable by J.Mendel! Dreamy!….even duke behind Phillip thinks so, lol)

(Flex spins, DJ Drama pollys. I had to tell Drama how much I love Art of Storytelling Pt4.)
(cool guys. One being significantly cooler than the other, however.)
PS: about the live missinfotv webcam:
from what I hear, the webcam worked pretty well! Too much background noise, and I did a horrible job holding up the camera, but I’m gonna work on that. While I was at the store, Swizz, Pharell and Nigo were fascinated by the webcam itself and seemed to get a kick out of the immediacy of it. I’ll def do my best to go live more often. But please, if you tuned in, please give me some feedback on how to make it better. Do you want events? Or do you want just regular chats. Is it too loud or too quiet…

congratulations to Pharell Williams and his new US store opening of BBC. The kid has come a very long way. Now my questions is how the fuck you have the nerve to sell your urban targeted clothing for ridiculous prices? Your consumers are mostly urban middle class hard working class and you trying to sell your t-shirt a simply t-shirt for $92.00?? $200.00 regular zip up sweaters WTF then you wonder why people bootleg your shit…

Haha Dee Phunk I completely agree!! Though tbh I would go as far as saying I can’t stand Pharell from his cocky arrogant attitude to his fucking god-awful “singing” voice!! So on that note I’m a little bit biased but I couldn’t be any less interested in this “story”. Absolutely no offence intended, some people clearly enjoy this(first 3 comments)…but I think I’ll wait for the next Wu/Ghostface update or something!

@everyone…..lol, y’all are all totally right about the prices. they’re totally crazy. And I won’t pay that much for a hoodie, ever. BUT…im not really one to talk because as a woman, I’m actually brainwashed into thinking that $200 for a pair of ballet flats is “not so bad” and I’ve spent literally thousands on chanel when I dont even own a home. So things are screwy all the way around.

Damn its about damn time this line is available in its own store, too bad it lost it’s appeal to most people I know that was excited about it before. Anyway, why can’t I view your page on my sidekick anymore? lol

“audigier” – Is this a word? I tried looking up the definition and couldn’t find it. I even thought it might be French, but no dice. Was this a typo perhaps? So, please, fill me in.
I must admit that I’ve picked up some nice new words when I’ve read your blog in the past. Thanks.
BTW – everyone please stop wasting your money and making these so-called “designers” rich. Save your money. Buy property. Invest.

You know, Info, a capitalized “A” in Audigier would have helped. Then I would have been able to figure out it was a name and not an adjective, like I originally thought. But you get a pass for all your typos since you do drop $5 words every now and then to keep me thumbing through my Webster’s Dictionary.
I just checked out http://www.christianaudigier.com and it looks like the ’07-’08 Von Dutch. These $90 all over print t-shirts are as passe as those $50 Von Dutch trucker hats are.

I was tuned in all the way from Ireland..lovin’ it..I work nites so I live on US time anyway lol..it was a brilliant idea to do that Miss O, I was wondering how the hell you did actually do it till I saw pic of you with the laptop bag and the cam coming out of it..genius
Sound and video wise it looked about as good as you can get from a webcam, both were fine and clear really, maybe a little shaky with the video at times but what else would you expect from a hand held webcam, in fact I thought it actually added to the whole “being there but not being there” buzz really..
No more to add really except it was a really good idea, I love you and I want to marry you and I can’t wait to see where the next webcast is gonna be from. Our wedding hopefully
