My love for Gorillas is not only displayed by my following of the Momotaro familyâs adventures, as of three weeks ago, I now proudly wear silverbacks on my chest almost everyday. I was put onto X-Large by my good friend Max, a streetwear expert and sourcing god. He knew I love X-Girl by Kim Gordon, and since X-Large is an adjacent brand it was a no brainer. I was aware of the brand's existence but had never really seen pieces being worn out and about and only recently came back in the market for clothing. My epiphany occured when I realized the logo was a Gorilla, and this particular Gorilla is featured on almost every piece in different renderings, I was immediately sold. I think Josh Madden, the creative director of X-Girl and X-Large is a certified genius in my book and look forward to continue repping the GOAT brand of streetwear for years to come.

đ„ŒThis brand is super dope, in a nutshell, they de-construct old GORE-TEX pieces from Arcteryx, North Face, etc. and upcycle them back into super dope gear. Arcteryx usually has these really interesting and bright shell colors, and I love that Greater Goods takes all these different colors and frankenstein them together to produce these really nice patchwork jackets. I think my favorite piece from them is when they turned these old shells into a kimono, and itâs a really interesting look. Since their brand revolves around reusability, they use leftover pieces from the jackets to make side-bags and water-bottle bags.

đżI was born in Australia, but grew up in Canada - and throughout my childhood and teens was often gifted for my birthday and holidays clothing from this Australian surfwear brand called Mambo. Unlike the popular skate brands of the time thatâs primary function seemed to help teenagers to fit in (Stussy, Fuct, Alien Workshop Etc.) Mambo was truly fucking weird in its a commitment to an almost grotesque aesthetic; loud, cartoonish Hawaiian prints, thickly hand-painted graphics, and random slogans like âSpiritual Adventurewareâ and âLife Impregnates Artâ; their most famous graphic is of a dog farting a musical note; thereâs a photo of Robin Williams wearing their giant silk flame shirt during his Flubber era. Looking back, I still find it hard to believe that throughout the 90s a gigantic island of people who were enthusiastically wearing this esoteric stuff - but that hasnât stopped me from late-night scrolling sessions on Grailed and adding items to my wishlist.

đTo the readers:Â I highly recommend Capybaras: The giant cavy rodent native to my home continent of South America, and extremely prevalent in my birth country of Brazil.I came to discover Capybaras a few years ago. I was perplexed, the babies were tiny and very cute. The adults were also cute but larger. They look extremely soft and I would love to pet them one day. They are extremely popular in Japan and on the internet. I recommend the video âCapybara balances orange on headâ, which can be found on Youtube. The first time I saw a Capy, I thought to myself, âWhat the fuck is that?â. Theyâre giant guinea pigs but also look like my friendâs dog. Their stoic faces look like they are extremely intelligent. I have a firm belief, given the right resources they could be the first to colonize Mars. They are also very relaxed and friends with many animals you would think they wouldnât get along with, such as crocodiles and giraffes.

đȘListen, I love food, right? You know what I donât love though? Paying a lot of money for it and waiting 45 minutes for it to be cooked. Why do people obsess over restaurants? Why pay $200 tabs for food you could get for $10 next to your apartment in New York and have it ready within 5 minutes? I simply donât understand this phenomenon. Is it to reaffirm your social status and financial comfort to those around you? I donât know, I wonât do personal attacks, but listen, next time you have to wait an hour just to be seated at a restaurant? Just remember who told you about the Bodega meta, an extremely viable and cost effective way of eating.

đŠI could be considered a Gorilla enjoyer, but that would be an understatement. I adore Gorillas. I adore Japanese Macaques. This family in particular however, stole my heart from the beginning. It was April 2019. I discovered the Instagram account @genki_no_takaramono. Since I first laid eyes on Momotaro, 21, with his fluffy ass spread out on the floor, chilling in a very cool manner, I was sold. Later I found out, he has two sons. Gentaro, now 10 years old, and Kintaro, now 2 years old. Their mother is Genki, 36, and is an amazing mother. My friend Timmy and I have sent each other videos of them literally every single day since 2019, and have watched Kintaro grow from a useless baby into a little rascal who can hold his own against his big brother Gentaro. Momotaro grew up without a father, and watching him learn the ropes of fatherhood with Kintaro was one of the most beautiful character arcâs Iâve ever seen. I strongly urge you tp follow accounts related to the Momotaro family and watch videos of them on Youtube. Please be nice as this is a subject dear to my heart.
