Starbury's New Tattoo
starburytattoo.jpgStephon Marbury has taken sneaker sponsorship to a new level. Steph has his own line of affordable basketball shoes that evidently sell for $8.98?!? So, of course, he tatted the company logo onto his dome. Makes sense.

I'm not sure, but isn't there a good possibility that the company will not be around for the long run?

It's a good thing Hakeem Olajuwon and Karl Malone didn't tattoo L.A. Gear on their head. That would have been embarrassing...

How can the Knicks let him go now?

That one Tyson got on his face was dumber. That said, if you're being compared to Tyson, you got problems.

You never want to be compared to Mike Tyson. Never.

Good thing he didn't tattoo the price on his head... it's already been raised to $14.98. Guess those little Malaysian kids makin' 'em asked for a penny raise.

I think you're right, zen. Maybe the $8.98 shown on the website is a sale or something.

15 bucks? what kind of materials are they made of? used cardboard boxes?

Steve & Barry's carries Starbury (along with a clothing lines from other celebrities... Amanda Bines, Sarah Jessica Parker, Venus or Serena Williams, I can't remember which).

The store's big draw is that EVERYTHING in the place is $8.98, underwear, shoes, pants, shirts, dresses, coats, jewelry, jeans, kids clothes, adult clothes it's all the same price. And it's all pretty poorly made out of cheap fabric.

And I heard on NPR the other day that they declared bankruptcy...sorry Stephon...guess now is the time to grow your hair out.

Thanks for the insight Molly. That makes a little more sense now.

I think the corporate logo tattoo on the head is terrible. Michael Jordan doesn't have the "Jumpman" logo in his head. George Forman doesn't have a grill inked on his coconut.

But maybe I'll get a typewriter tattooed on my head with the YBNBY web address. Maybe. We'll see.

Thanks for reading. Cheers.

but Minister Johnny how will that look next to the Ghostbuster's tats you are gonna get?

Foreman can do one better and get a body modification by putting his head in the grill and getting the lines burned onto his flesh.

I will make it work, my son. I will make it work.
