Thinking About the Unthinkable, Again – Part 1, by 3AD Scout

As a kid growing up in the 1980s my reading did not consist of comic books and other typical teen publications. My go to reading materials include “SURVIVE”, “AMERICAN SURVIVAL GUIDE” and “SOLDIER OF FORTUNE” magazines. My mom actually purchased a subscription to “AMERICAN SURVIVAL GUIDE” for me as a Christmas present. Back in the 1980s, the threat of nuclear war was still on the minds of many, but not all. It seemed like you had two spectrums regarding nuclear war, those that thought is was survivable and those that swallowed the Communist-backed “nuclear war isn’t survivable” propaganda line. One …

The tennis icon is making a denim statement with Levis. By Chris Oddo | @TheFanChild | Thursday, July 14, 2022

Naomi Osaka is launching a playful new Levi’s® x Naomi Osaka denim collection for Spring/Summer 2022.

The collection includes five new denim pieces, each of which were based on original sketches by the four-time Grand Slam champion, and all feature contrasting denim washes and creative plays on proportion. It’s a unique and stylish lineup that can serve as the perfect centerpiece for any outfit.

Here’s more about the five pieces, which will be available Levi.com, the Levi’s App, and select Levi’s stores ($180-$350) on July 18.

Included is a cascading Mermaid Skirt featuring contrasting denim and a ruffled, high-low hemline that makes for a short skirt on one side and a maxi skirt on the other. There’s also the Denim Halter Top, a streamlined light-wash denim halter, perfect for playing off the volume of the Mermaid Skirt, or even better, the oversized Artist Coat – a mid-length, wide-sleeved, drop-shoulder coat featuring big patch pockets (with a Red Tab and arcuate stitching, of course) and contrasting mid and light-wash denim. Each of these pieces are made with 100 percent organically grown cotton.

Rounding out the collection is a cropped and puffed up Zip Bomber Jacket – also made from 100 percent organically grown cotton – with contrasting denim (the bottom half of which features a laser print of Naomi’s flower-bear logo) and elasticated cuffs and hem. Finally, there’s the flower-bear laser print ’93 Naomi Jean, based off of a men’s 501® Jean for that perfect slouchy fit.

“I wanted to keep this collection fun and playful, and also include some pieces for everyone,” Osaka said. “I was trying to bring some light-heartedness with this collection as a reminder for us all to enjoy the life we’re living and not take things too seriously. Best of all, these pieces all make me feel super confident and comfortable because they’re all so flattering and fun to wear.”

Costa Rica Fishing: Everything to Know About This Saltwater Paradise

My fishing rod was creaking under the weigh. It had been approximately 20 minutes since our captain had put our boat on a school of yellowfin tuna feeding with a group of spinner dolphins in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Costa Rica. A moment later, the five-foot fish, the first one we’d hooked […]
