It was brought in December 2007 when I was in Europe last for a friend’s wedding. Quality, unique, stylish, funky can all be used to describe it, but if I had to use just one word it would be fun. It is made of woven 100% polyester with zip opening and chocolate leather trims and handles. It has a removable adjustable shoulder strap and is internally lined with the signature purple canvas. A leather multi stripe, Mini shaped luggage tag is also included. What really surprised me the most about the bag was to find out that it was made of polyester. It has the feel of a high quality cotton canvas and just shows how far synthetic materials have really come. I should note that this is older version of the Business Folio and no long being made. I am no expert but I think the design changed in 2008 and the biggest difference is that the newer business folio’s are not as structured. The bag measures 31 cm x 42 cm x 10.5 cm and one large compartment with a zippered internal pocket.<br /><br />Where: Paul Smith @ Heathrow Airport<br />When: December 2007<br />Cost: I can’t remember exactly what I paid for it, but it was on sale & tax free. (Currently the Printed Business Folio retails for £210 – roughly $425 AUD @ current exchange rate)<br /><br />I have to say that I find Paul Smith products really good value for money. For what you pay for, which is quite reasonable considering what you can pay from other labels, you get really well constructed products that that not only look good but are also a joy to use and wear. </div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#000000;">AAA</span></div><div></div><div align="justify"></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343416896301430914" style="DISPLAY: block;

The shoe has a two eyelet with white leather laces; that are also featured around the side. The Paul Smith Red Ear logo is embossed on the tongue and they are finished with a floral printed insole and floral embossed white sole. They are 100% leather with rubber soles and come with stow bag. Originally priced at £188 (roughly $385 <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">AUD</span> @ current exchange) after the sale and minus VAT the shoes came to £111.30 (roughly $230 <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">AUD</span> @ current exchange), with the free shipping I saved myself a further £30. CAN ANYONE SAY BARGAIN! I love free shipping and I love the weak pound. I don't know what to do with such a bold pair of shoes??? I have no idea how to wear them or what to wear them with, but what I do know is that they will make a loud statement! Now I just have to wait for them to arrive.

There was some great racing but when you have race leader Denis Menchov sticking to the back wheel of his closest rival Danilo Di Luca like a limpet no time was made or lost. Stage 18 was pretty much the same Di Luca tried everything but still couldn’t shake Menchov. So it has come down to stage 19 and it is business time now and should be the defining point of the Giro with only 26 seconds separating 1st & 2nd place it should make for a great night of racing, especially because it would have to be the most beautiful stage of this year’s Giro. A ride along the Amalfi coast through a string of UNESCO world heritage sites and finally up to Mount Vesuvius - it doesn’t get more dramatic then that! The history, the culture, the beauty and the grandeur of Italy all wrapped up into this one pivotal stage.<span style="font-size:0;"> </span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:0;"><span style="color:#000000;">AAA</span><br /></span><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341216435119632050" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 356px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilu1AkwT3imWo2-fMXj5z3t6614ejOUvBPcoDpSiAZIf7sxskaWF5-1KzX5NVq3zUgGNe5bLfQKbNsEvQ_BoBhBQLXnC86rbE3Lway81QHAkeKx-2HPHKJGEaNyl_R8bMOk69RYwDADBru/s400/Stage+19.jpg" border="0" /></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="color:#33cc00;">CYCLING DOESN’T</span> GET MUCH <span style="color:#ff0000;">BETTER THEN THIS<br /></span></div></span><div align="left"><br />Image: www.stuckincustoms.com, cyclingnews.com</div>PROFESSIONAL PROCRASTINATORhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03263081165316138402noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6849202152431307701.post-76073129950855140282009-05-28T03:58:00.000-07:002009-05-28T10:46:39.737-07:00WHY MR BAILEY, WHY?<div align="justify"><span style="font-size:0;"><span style="color:#000000;">AAA </span></span><span style="color:#000000;"><br /></div></span><div align="justify">The <strong><a href="http://projectprocrastination77.blogspot.com/2009/05/burberry-prorsum-ss09-mens.html">BURBERRY PRORSUM SPRING-SUMMER 2009</a></strong> men’s bag collection was amazing; from the leathers and exotic skins to the canvas mega check in dark olive.

Every new season comes with a new line of interesting and intriguing accessories released with photographic imagery and colourful patterns; along with the icons of the house: THE STRIPED MINI, THE MULTI-STRIPE & THE NAKED LADY.

The moment I saw it I knew I just couldn’t say no. It features traditional Paul Smith branding, coupled with one of England’s most recognisable icons, THE STRIPED MINI. The outer “work” side of the wallet is crafted in fine black Italian calfskin leather. The inner “play” side this time features THE STRIPED MINI under Mr. Smith’s favorite oak tree, and now mine!</p><p align="justify"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5340070899364385650" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2I63X-SLfyjikd8WTTojILrHBFxpQvCE77S48-EQhnpIYF8Tz9kDkTGx0K1n7e3cDuxNkXEnZd6DkodeD30fxoHg5CmvZU1gKo7s9pJqdkWsDCdsw8wEpUdZPbiHEikRh_qfTrditWZGB/s400/Paul+Smith+Mini+Wallet+2.jpg" border="0" /></p><p align="justify"></p></div><p></p><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5340070901828218722" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMg56ZF8UnKU0Xg-mwFycrpMSvqHAjCED4KWsx908Ol0Bic-80quQ75HToYdkiQqQ20E0aN2OHmxRtHylYtCVCyFjrM0CA5hWhp3KQIqr9C98S9iy3mKw0d9ZS6T1CqFN2ebkKUmPMXKOj/s400/Paul+Smith+Mini+Wallet+3.jpg" border="0" /></p><p align="justify">This wallet never fails to put a smile on my face whenever I open it up!

They are uniquely English in style and attitude, with their woven shirts based on selected English stripes, plaids and solid poplins from the 60’s and 70’s. Hand sewn, each shirt is individually laundered for fit and comfort. What I like most is that they fit nicely without giving you a manorexic complex. While their interesting use of fabrics, embroidery and unique details set them apart from others. They retail for around $70-100 USD (roughly $90-130 AUD @ current exchange) which I think is very reasonable and represents great value considering the quality and level of design you get for it. When compared to similarly price shirts I think you definitely get more bang for your buck. I currently own three and would have many more if they weren’t so hard to find in Perth.<br /></div><div align="justify"></div><br /><div align="justify"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5339059619932136338" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1n7j8Ly8qjWWhlHA0Dbh_CJejCzfG0Iih-s-p3Kss4ZMHi2qDER1hgQE4aV5KER4XiRyFI06ai4F9siPE3Bx0h6mE-fiC_geaP7Kjz3DyeHHpWI-6MSlj4qNclYe2bnQv2WSJGoQhyeLF/s400/English+Laundry+woven+shirts+B.jpg" border="0" /></div><br /><div align="justify"></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5339645036767328946" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC6Yac-renH_fucN49MUlFY54SvggQy6cawNBysELNQHlFrXAYOsF0mvPi-kp5_dRc1XPOEOYi6yikgMRoMNKI4Lna388eU4C-jVyMPNwtT6Su7wLciKymNBcqoYuUqnoOlNTDZHs5D5jz/s400/English+Laundry+woven+shirts+C.jpg" border="0" /> <div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:0;"><span style="font-size:0;"><span style="font-size:+0;"></span></span></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:0;"><span style="font-size:0;"><span style="font-size:+0;"><br /></div></span></span></span><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5339058877995102562" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7ScvXXkara_seW8g9EGm1gQSR-4SWlX6ZdtczHLKshWSObGo-pmuh1tFJ8QpaoOk97603b6Cj0aG5_Ui-j1acOyfiu13jz3vwyaNDNPFMhp9F9Tmgy4kVcXlBWhVZYfTh6XYtMFDI8WZg/s400/English+Laundry+woven+shirts+A.jpg" border="0" /> <div align="justify"></div><br /><div align="justify"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5339059625488479522" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh51FbWBWvk8KnJBgSFToamfKI2zbr56LHPaJBBlWUKbIwJ8tUSX8b20j_UsbJ3Qp30GD6jCrHBM4erC6zVZ5l6R2UUV03IBjLB3vb4IPdUOlysh8EpnUv4qVcUtAFgOrXbFV72SsZ6sNj4/s400/English+Laundry+woven+shirts+D.jpg" border="0" /></div><br /><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify">You can buy them online at <a href="http://www.englishlaundry.com/">http://www.englishlaundry.com/</a>.

It was an intoxicating tribute to old Havana and an era of legends that exuded passion, romance, love and energy. It featured three of the original members to the Buena Vista Social Club, including Reynaldo Creagh who at 91 was amazing and showed that he can still mesmerize an audience. The musical magic of the afro Cuban sound had everyone up and dancing in the aisle, including myself, a truly joyous experience.<br /><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:0;"><span style="font-size:0;"><br /><span style="font-size:0;"></span></span></span><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338996015968064370" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaTqzqXNUf-mXCrO_7rqe7imYhSKGc_vkjiWmyGQcvWq-yERE7DVSf9pgWHUucAJUGFSqaYQCBKRxp3gp_S2kR-HRFkmvoPRPCCmWAMJCX2kKZ11R1YCk9iZRPFvKpE1ZL9h78ePbJebS5/s400/IMG_5434.jpg" border="0" /> <span style="font-size:0;"></span><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338996014915528674" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU074fa8S0E0n73u8j7J2XEe1QJEnM7oKQeol5m5CuU1W89KDy3Uqw8ECitLH3XmS0Ka68pRhzX4TgsefOHtl599-6Pf8xgYjD24ieOouqT6LTIqlBzQJUIoN9z_cXt0Y8e_38ouN9ie4K/s400/IMG_5483.jpg" border="0" /></div><span style="font-size:0;"></span><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338996020116515938" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXhuGjI2aiB4Xi64bOICFiePRWTp8r10AheSKeCbJElTOm3IC1dchozqnZixEfVCNin8H7ToA8S8dg-7UNUAsXtMun4aNjKRTMMP7o-ct_TLP17k52sMEW8bqrbsM7aBtAA_HqOZhFCUP3/s400/IMG_5473a.jpg" border="0" /><br /><strong>ENGLISH LAUNDRY</strong> Blue Striped Woven Shirt<br /><strong>ALPHA 60</strong> Black Wool Button front Jacket<br /><strong>TOMMY HILFIGER</strong> Denim Jeans<br /><strong>DKNY</strong> Brown Leather Belt<br /><strong>CAMPER</strong> “Oxford” Twins Sneakers<br /><strong>BURBERRY LONDON</strong> Green Herringbone Newsboy Cap<br /><strong>PRADA</strong> Pour Homme<br /><br />Images: Bar @ Buena Vista, Project ProcrastinationPROFESSIONAL PROCRASTINATORhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03263081165316138402noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6849202152431307701.post-79646666405943073462009-05-22T11:50:00.000-07:002009-05-22T12:08:55.113-07:00CERVO CORDA 02<div align="center"><span style="color:#000000;">AAA</span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9NOzLWZBMxOeaNumUa-wR9ID-Qx9VsEqlvVEVGnVj8IoqLfaI4e4e2Ca-NQqeXfEjK2f4EqdV6MhRcc3HhMobzLyh9BR5cUiJ2TUGO0kJILviXavuoBDGEnw3dLDMyomvIUf3EgXhERu_/s1600-h/Prada+Large+Deerskin+Messenger+1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338723401544724002" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9NOzLWZBMxOeaNumUa-wR9ID-Qx9VsEqlvVEVGnVj8IoqLfaI4e4e2Ca-NQqeXfEjK2f4EqdV6MhRcc3HhMobzLyh9BR5cUiJ2TUGO0kJILviXavuoBDGEnw3dLDMyomvIUf3EgXhERu_/s400/Prada+Large+Deerskin+Messenger+1.jpg" border="0" /></a><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338723403563302306" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLQPl_ZpCQklv3q8uFjskf6UyUhKyjta-u3adu8pFA1PePFDmHhO_nYWu3aU1FPdqaqHrm_rh80KFmG8VwMFIuyJmJ81IpQ8jEEoaacuEtk_gg2-2oDiMW5tSpQRukjXxNIK-UqUoK_7QQ/s400/Prada+Large+Deerskin+Messenger+2.jpg" border="0" /> </div><div align="justify"><div align="justify">My <strong>LARGE PRADA LIGHT BROWN DEERSKIN LEATHER MESSENGER BAG</strong> was brought in mid 2008. I also own its smaller cousin my <a href="http://projectprocrastination77.blogspot.com/2009/05/cervo-corda-01.html">SMALL PRADA LIGHT BROWN DEERSKIN LEATHER MESSENGER BAG</a>. And yes they are virtually the same bag. The only differences are the dimensions (35 cm x 30 x cm x 12 cm versus 30 cm x 27 cm x 10 cm) and the extra buckle. Why you might be asking do I have two bags that are virtually the same, well I didn’t mean to keep both of them. I initially brought the smaller one because the larger one that I initially wanted sold out. Several months later the large messenger became available again so I decided to get it and sell on the smaller one because I couldn’t really justify keeping the both of them. I even managed to sell the smaller one for $300 more then I paid for it on ebay. With the money in the bank and the bag packed and ready to send I found that I couldn’t do it. Knowing that I would regret it in the end I told the buyer that the dog ate it and refunded the purchaser his money. So call me crazy I kept both bags in the end. </div><div align="justify"></div><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338723404621104610" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaD5U47VlMZAiww35OeKd2DoKKdcHcXSHEtwl1-Nh27vdqbyG865qQk0PanDi4RAhUb7FBEPbAOKR7Zv9VztS1SX5ZoymEJozFjWcG0G5xDtwmbCRRdJj2lutvYMdYc2vTUzHpsRCEqDZB/s400/Prada+Large+Deerskin+Messenger+3.jpg" border="0" /><br />The smaller one is great for running errands and when I don’t want to carry much, while the larger one I decided would be great for when I start working professional, but since I have started working I have found that I prefer to use my nylon Prada’s because I find that they are more durable and that I tend to worried less about them. So to this day my large messenger has yet to leave the house, yet I still find myself unable to get rid of it. I consider it a classic bag, in its colour, texture and style so I am not worried about it becoming dated. I guess I could use it for those important meeting or future interviews etc. In the end I love Deerskin, I love the colour and I…<br /><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:180%;">LOVE PRADA</span></div><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338723409661887026" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOP7K3huXqHfJoIqXMk4q5jq7w4nhTOJ-NwKN6SZiDWi9tQw8dQxO3r4baZFsBw6L6pulZ9Rq51KDfnBkzoFnBihIAHDyuwre-o7UQwUmbWS90CC5l-PO3ujGPeYdKGP_sDyGbjRyQyotZ/s400/Prada+Large+Deerskin+Messenger+4.jpg" border="0" /></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-size:+0;"></span></span><span style="font-size:180%;">SO I AM KEEPING IT!</span></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"><br /></div><div align="justify">images: Project Procrastination</div>PROFESSIONAL PROCRASTINATORhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03263081165316138402noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6849202152431307701.post-31639744687116353992009-05-21T09:35:00.000-07:002009-05-24T12:13:50.721-07:00A PORTRAIT OF...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6i4_a8G4f67R4Umvxwian7Wjlthki-2zStHQQHnPg1x_2e2C99F556IBBp-J6XWKQr6MKY22BXnzqHJ2TyjOfMNH80dT9ULTmOneO1pnxCAomVnuzvQETZzeROVvpgsdiS7UhqjHa7Wf8/s1600-h/Bridgette.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338316829625482754" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6i4_a8G4f67R4Umvxwian7Wjlthki-2zStHQQHnPg1x_2e2C99F556IBBp-J6XWKQr6MKY22BXnzqHJ2TyjOfMNH80dT9ULTmOneO1pnxCAomVnuzvQETZzeROVvpgsdiS7UhqjHa7Wf8/s400/Bridgette.jpg" border="0" /></a><span>B.

Everything about it reminds me of a well aged classic from the colour, style and texture. This is one bag that will never be refered to as last seasons, a bag for all times. The leather is absolutely stunning and from the moment I felt it I became addicted to deerskin. So much so I currently have three Prada bags in deerskin. It is so soft and supple to touch while surprisingly resilient with any minor day to day scratches (it does seem to get a few) being easily removed by just buffing it with a soft cloth. This bag in my opinion is of the highest quality leather and has only gotten better with use and age.</span></p><p align="justify"><span style="font-size:0;"></span><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338173927887554050" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXwzX3WQkEGzfKvWsSg8NNlxj3z9cEN31lRd4Qh-IfAOrumiL-XZCIvS_oho_XdWz1Wus2N6V0m5jW_Fk3SD_RiLw2hQ4lgY34iZMQXMgy2-LOyGwCh57JV1HxbfFc6sSqXG8YmPJPzxnc/s400/Prada+Small+Deerskin+Messenger+3.jpg" border="0" /><br /><span>It measures 30 cm x 27 cm x 10 cm and features an embossed Prada logo on the front flap that is secured with both a buckle and magnetic clasp closure in gold tone hardware. Which is perfect for me because I don’t like to buckle it up because 1. It is a bother to get in and out of the bag and 2. I don’t like to have the buckle strap deformed in anyway (ok I am a bit mental but it’s an aesthetic thing!). The main compartment is large and lined with a jacquard logo lining with an interior zipped pocket. It also has additional front and back zippered pockets and an adjustable shoulder strap with a deerskin leather shoulder pad. </span><span style="font-size:0;"><br /></span><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338173932955845714" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMCvWmR5RDuh5IZtOpG35MwrZGv-CI8P9ENoeTPchV5O4g1zpn6t5hiK__aPCgDU9gQcDpod92vbYuP0qtWu6RV3DRUW3olmfdK9iGEGhOLYGobZgYG06K7fL4wVDq7YgP9nWdUTJ_f1sY/s400/Prada+Small+Deerskin+Messenger+4.jpg" border="0" /></p><p align="center"><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span>I LOVE THE COLOUR, I LOVE THE SMELL</span> </span></p><p align="center"><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338173931041450770" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEictuESILqkQ5OjJfdyrN44oYobdZJg_Kkv7IsVMV4dUhftUOhpYQhOaxlxdFF-QTcuLO_sQ16Ou7bo5yJJ4CPz6L3uA9Wj3N-3Ry4M0ZNWMW9uZS1uIce-YiAxXEsGK921XyD8Ogwx_bAM/s400/Prada+Small+Deerskin+Messenger+5.jpg" border="0" /> </p><div align="center"><span style="font-size:180%;"><span>I LOVE PRADA </span><br /></span></div><div align="left"></div><span style="font-size:+0;"></span><br /><div align="left"><span><span><br />images: Project Procrastination</span></span></div>PROFESSIONAL PROCRASTINATORhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03263081165316138402noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6849202152431307701.post-55307051942682597102009-05-20T06:12:00.000-07:002009-05-24T13:01:15.223-07:00SPEAKING OF THE GIRO<div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:+0;color:#000000;">AAA</span></div><div align="justify"><span>This years Giro d'Italia has boasted a pretty decent field and the racing so far has been really exciting.
