Not sure if you guys have heard but Prop 8 passed in California which amends the state constitution to ban gay marriage. There have been SO many protests in LA since the election. Well, some of the funniest people in Hollywood banned together to campaign against Prop 8 via musical comedy. Hilarity ensues.
This is really funny

Sean Avery of the Dallas Stars is suspended by the NHL for making comments about a Calgary Flame dating his ex-girlfriend Elisha Cuthbert (see above). Mind you this is the same guy who had a new NHL rule named after him: The Avery Rule

Updated: CONGRATS TO CHRISTOPHER HERNANDEZ. HE NAMED EVERY SNEAKER PLUS THE WHITE/BLUE JORDAN PHLY’S ON THE TOP RIGHT!! I am reposting this contest because nobody has gotten it right yet. Some of yall are super lazy with your responses. Come on now. Some of yall have been very thorough but I am still missing some. The burgundy and gold joints on the bottom right are some Reebok basketball sneakers from St. Anthony’s High School in NJ. I don’t expect any of yall to get those. But there is one pair of shoes (Nikes) that nobody has mentioned in the picture above (they are not in any other pic)

To the person who can identify the most sneakers in my closet (must identify different colorways too), I got a pair of free tickets to Wale’s show at Highline Ballroom on December 9th with UCB, Kid Cudi, Colin Munroe, Che Grand, Mark Ronson and Nick Catchdubs. Submit answers via email to RSVP@elitaste.com. Winner will be announced as soon as someone answers correctly. If nobody gets all of them, I will award the tickets to the high score. I suggest looking at every picture very carefully.
UPDATE: Sending me an email like this “i see some J’s 8, 9, 10 spizikes.them green and white adidas with thte dot stripes. some barkleys i think. a pair of 23’s. pair aof lebrons. 2 pairs of prada. them sb’s on the top right. forgot the name. i see a pair of the original 95’s lime and grey. i see some DC Foammies black and grey, pair of clarks , and i think nike structure triax forgot what they called. and i think your your wifey left them pink monstroties of a nike in there too.” is not how you win this contest. I need a detailed list.
So stadium rock right now! I kinda like it. Not sure if I’d listen over original but I could see DJ’s cutting into this. Click HERE to download.
