I had to laugh out loud today when I read this. Quoting a Comcast Sports article about Baltimore’s own Michael Phelps, who coincidentally is on route to be the winningest Olypian ever (most Gold medals held by an Olympian in History). This is how they chose to describe him.

Perfection. That sums up the gangly 23-year-old from Baltimore who loves rap music, pimped-out cars and doing things in the pool that no one else even dared to think of.

I love it! That was classic.

Our boy Theory Hazit linked up with a dope producer from VA named Vintage (no relation to us) and collaborated on a full length project named Lord Fire. The album released worldwide today! Theory is seen on the cover art wearing the Vintage Limited Black Friday Hoodie and the logo on the Brown Classic is peaking out under the hoodie as well.

In foresight of this hot release we linked up with Theo to offer fans a special promo insert included in each CD packaging. The insert contains a special promo code to use at the Vintage Limited web store good for 10% off your entire purchase. The offer and code is special for this album release… As if you needed another reason to pick it up! So if you don’t have it already go order your copy from our good friends over at Sphere of Hip Hop HERE and enjoy a classic album for the summer of oh-eight!

There’s a lengthly album review up HERE and for a taste of the music on the album check out Theory Hazit’s myspace. And don’t forget to tell Theo we sent you to harass him.

Yup, time for another edition. My latest offering in the “Of All Things Random…” This time paying homage to the 1o Year Anniversary of the iMac. Just 9 years older than Vintage Limited, this Mac icon was also unveiled during the month of May, ten years ago this week.

As a tribute to the iMac I decided to Google something I’ve always been interested in doing myself. Taking those good old classic iMac cases and putting them to some use. And by USE of course I mean turning them into aquariums!

Down in the Vintage Limited studio/office I have about 3 iMacs sitting around. One I used for about 5 years as a hub broadcasting my internet radio station. Then one night after a bad storm the motherboard fried and I couldn’t part with it so there it sat. And that was the end of my net station manager days too. I was about done anyway. After 5 years of dealing with a slow upload speed on my cable modem because I was sharing it with the station feed + add-in the rising gas & electric utilities, yea, it was about time to let it go. Although at its height I did have an average of 200 listeners per day. Not bad huh?

So anyway, back to the iMac thing. I once seen in a Mac magazine where this guy took his old iMac and made it into an aquarium. I always thought that was pretty cool and wanted to do it! I found this dope site with full downloadable instructions on how to turn your iMac into an aquarium, and also tips on what to use, as well as modifications too. This guy put a laugh track from a greeting card so when somebody hits the power button it goes off. He even added a built in radio and digital alarm clock that displays the time on the walls of the background picture in the aquarium!

So after reading all that… I decided it was a bit too ambitious for me. But hey, maybe one day! Haha!

Check that site I mentioned out HERE.

Well, here I go getting all nostalgic but we are but an infant learning how to walk over here. Can you believe its been a YEAR already!? Proceeding 2 long years of research, product development, manufacturing, and hard HARD work came the big event that started it all. One year ago TODAY we held our launch concert here in Baltimore. We flew in some of the best underground hip-hop artists from around the country to perform before a captive audience of fans and streetwear heads alike. All to help usher in a NEW brand with great aspirations and vision for its future. That brand was none other than Vintage Clothing Limited!

We started with a simple vision: “Make really high quality apparel and put dope limited edition art on it!” That mission statement still holds true today and even encompasses new ideas. Constantly evolving behind the scenes, yet staying true to its origins, you’ll see soon enough what we have coming down the road.

To everyone over the past year who has helped tell a friend, pick up one of our items, signed up on our mailing list, reads our newsletters, rocks our stuff proudly, or reading this now, I truly want to thank YOU!

We have certainly come a long way from that 5th of May only a year ago and we have no intentions of stopping now. Each new design we undertake is a work of love and diligence. We really take allot of time and effort to “get it right”. Sometimes that means a piece may take a year to drop! However, its that eye for detail and attention to quality that I believe has been the cornerstone of what people remember us by and recognize us as. That is something I’m really proud of!

So thanks again!!! And here is to an anxious second year looking forward to many, many more to come! God has a plan for our lives we’re just along for the ride.

And what the heck, why not check out the video/photo montage from the launch show today just to remember how it all began! You can check that out HERE.

In another installment of my “Of All Things Random” I found this. Its an innovative video experiment by Oliver Laric. What? Don’t know who he is? Me neither… but its definitely worthy of a plug. Especially if you’ve ever found yourself on a message board in your life.

At first glance, it looks like an abstract piece of emoticons, but a bit of squinting reveals much more than appears on the surface.
