The Unity Mansion Show, Vegas 8/07

It was a scarface in the desert style white vegasdrug mansion, white marble, rich mahogany, and an insane lineup of Jonathan Mannion prints covering the walls.

the backyard, art gallery on the left, killer pool setup… shit was hot! 106° during the day

Felipe (ampal team/lifestyle ambassador) and Nick (Crap, Rockers NYC) came along to help out and add to the general vegas experience (wildness/debauchery).

Heres our booth, crisp and clean on the first morning, showcasing The Premier Collection

Everyone loved our setup, from the top – a ripe selection of phillies, swishers, papers, and fire for the “networking” sessions that went down outside. continuing down- Coltrane and a super 8 cam, Rolling Stones – Exile on Main St. w/ Darkside Fedora, Miles Smiles w/ the Ash Quattro, and a Coliseum Colors w/Zed the beta. The Buena Vista on a carved ebony tribal head from Africa, Jose Cuervo de la Familia for more networking, the Murph, Charcoal Quattro, Laver Prime, Coltrane w/ aDaimler Prime, and the Darkside Fitted w/ a vintage homemade tattoo gun

So that was our setup at Unity (Aug 07) and here’s Official’s Jan 08 Agenda setup…

Our Unity Portrait…

Everyone was rocking super fresh Jordans, coke white af1s n sbs, brand new all-over prints, and expensive selvedge… this was our derelict crew of vans, tight jeans and the only ones who jumped in the pool

Danny Boy, La COKA Nostra

looks 100x harder in one of our Darkside Fedoras than we do

Slick, also picked up a darkside fedora, DISSIZIT is an amazing artist and we were honored that he was half as stoked on our hat as we are on his art

A big thanks to G1/SA, jerry, chace infinite, and jenn for puttin together a rad show (we hope there’ll be more…)
